    A hidden treasure! Beautiful place with amazing outdoor seating. The food was delicious!! The staff were so friendly and professional and the prices were extremely fair. I had steak, eggs, and potatoes which were cooked perfectly!!

    Very friendly waiter! We were recโ€™d this place by a couple we ran into and the margaritas did not disappoint. I enjoyed my veggie burger and the sopapilla that was included. We also got yummy flan.

    Letโ€™s start this review by saying this restaurant has a beautiful outdoor scenery of plants ! Outside appearance makes you think it is a smaller building, BUT once inside, it goes far back with a very appealing authentic appearance! Lots of good choices on the menu and the food is beyond amazing! I had the combination plate and it is SO worth it!!! Highly recommend while in Old Town!

    Wow! Genuine New Mexico experience with a cafe vibe! Come enjoy a monstrous Club Sandwich or flavorful New Mexican food. The chairs are comfortable and the restaurant is nice and intimate. When you walk up to the front door it seems small and maybe looks closed but itโ€™s actually huge inside. Featuring indoor and outdoor dining and also bar seating. There is a little bit of everything. Fits right into the Old Town theme with lots of historical decorations. The chicken burrito with red chili was very good. The salsa has a sweet beginning with a sharp bite right at the end. Overall, highly recommended and we will return!

    The food is very good. Got the combo with Christmas tree (red and green sauce). The renello was very good! The tamale was okay. The fajita was very good. I do not know if they make the tortillas in house, it taste like fresh homemade. Service was okay, not sure if the server was new or that he have too many tables to take care of. If your in the area, got to stop by, the food is very good.

    If there was an option of giving more than 5 stars then I would definitely do that. WHAT A PLACE!! Waiting time for 1 hour and I donโ€™t regret at all now after eating here. A complete surprise of a restaurant. It looks so small and tiny from outside but itโ€™s massive inside. So much space at every nook and corner and even have an outdoor area at the back. Now the food. Mind blowing food. Each and every dish, starting from chips and salsa to margarita was spot on. The flavors of the dishes are to die for. Carne Adovada Al Horno was so so delicious. The pork loaded in flavors. The side of spinach with pork so tasty, never had spinach taste so better. Chicken quesadilla was amazing Chicken enchiladas were so good. The beef in taco salad was also so well cooked. The margarita was spot on. Sopaipilla was cooked perfect. Soft, lightly sweet and delicious. Special mention to our set fee Julieta (I think that was her name). She was so attentive and very pleasant. She answered all our questions with so much patience. Thank you. I would love to go again and highly recommend this place.

    We had heard good things about this place and it was busy but we may have caught them on an off day on a couple of fronts. Hubby's Chile Relleno stuffed with seasoned pork was pretty bad: tasteless pork, too much batter coating a stemless chile (was it from a can?) and deep fried, a greasy disappointing mess. The Calabacitas side dish was fine, if a bit bland. Our server, D'Angelo was as sweet and personable as puppies, and about as focused. We had to flag him down and ask for refills on water and salsa repeatedly, and finally another server came to our rescue and brought the refills. On the positive side, the stacked Enchiladas with over-easy egg served "Christmas Style" (red and green chile) were delicious, as were the Bean Tostadas, Huevos Rancheros and Charro Beans. We will give them another try next time we're in Albuquerque.

    Love Love this restaurant. In the center of a old town surrounded by tourist they still have manage to pull us locals in. Krystal was amazing today. She did NOT judge when I order ice cream for lunch. Keep our drinks full regardless of how many changes my husband made and did it efficiently and with a smile. If you are a tourist or from NM this is the please to be๐Ÿ’›

    Absolutely delicious. Amazing atmosphere. Wonderful service. And the kitchen staff was on point. I enjoyed walking around Old Town this evening and stumbled onto this wonderful resturant. Definately recommend anyone in the area, or those passing by, to make a point to experience this establishment.

    The service was really bad. We got their and was told half hour wait. We went and did some shopping. Come back and their a baseball team being seated before us. I asked how is that team being seated. Once we where seated it took forever to get someone to wait in us. Food was hot and good but the service needs work.

    Very cute cafe, the food was good and the lattes were perfection. Wait staff was a bit inattentive, but very nice. The hostess acted like she hated her life and us, and practically ran to the table. It was very cute outside though.

    Delicious New Mexican food and generous portions! Staff is very friendly, and the restaurant has a great local ambiance. We had the chile relleno for dinner, and it was so good we came back for huevos rancheros for breakfast the next morning.

    Located right in Albuquerque Old Town. This historic restaurant fits the Old Town atmosphere and beauty. Once you walk in, you will see an extraordinary atmosphere and ambience. I cannot describe how beautiful it is inside as well as they're outside patio. We had a party of 12 people there and not one of us was upset with our food. Everything was delicious. I will tell you they're green chile is delicious. The person who got the Carne Adovada was a little disappointed. It was too salty and there was some certain seasoning that didn't hit the palate so well. The waitress and other staff were friendly but the food did take quite a while to get to us. When you want to experience the Old Town vibe and eat at a wonderful restaurant within Old Town, this is the place to go.

    Very good! Came in with a friend for dinner. We split the Carne adovado with spinach. Super good! The sopapillas as well are a great addition. They were pretty busy, so food was a but slow to the table, but not a huge deal! Definitely worth a try if you're in this cute little part of town!

    This place is awesome! Love the architecture and the outside dining in back. Food was great, haven't had good menudo in a while. First time I've eaten everything in the bowl and didn't have half of it be broth leftover.

    I am not from here. Was told to try the green chili sauce. Was hesitant so I got red and green on my burrito. It was good but I am fully team green chili sauce now. I wish I trusted my friends. They also have local beers and a pretty good sangria/margarita. I was surprised by sopapillasafter the meal. So good.

    Don't let the outside fool you, this place is awesome on the inside. Carry out or dine in, you won't be disappointed. Numerous inside and outside dining options. The outside patio is gorgeous. Highly recommend the pitcher of margaritas.

    I had 2 Enchiladas, green sauce, beans & squash and added a New Mexico signature by adding egg on top of the enchiladas. Sucvulent & Delicious!! Spouse had Green Chili Chicken soup. Again, excellent in flavor, but had more potatoes than chicken /veggies. The frozen margarita we had tasted 'watered down' --very disappointed with that. Chips were homemade, tasty, and the Salsa one of the Best I've Ever had!! Service was friendly; however, they appear extremely short-staffed (does Anyone want to work anymore??). Located in Old Town so there's the decor, look and ambience of that. We ate on patio which was nicely shaded and there's a relaxing fountain there. I'd probably return, because the food is authentic, fresh, and of good flavor.

    Always stop here when I go thru Albuquerque, delicious Huevos Rancheros along with the best homemade hot chocolate. They also have specialty coffees and traditional Breakfast items.

    Good overall. Cool to eat at the oldest building in NM. Best dish? .... Hands down the menudo! The rest was like any other texmex restaurant

  • 5/5 Jon R. 9 months ago on Google
    Super yummy authentic Mexican food. I really enjoy local restaurants, and I love them when the food is top notch. It is worth the stop and enjoy old downtown while there.

  • 4/5 Brian E. 2 years ago on Google
    Historic building in historic district, menu with a large variety of New Mexican food items and traditional American sandwiches. Well decorated with southwest art and historic items. Friendly staff, delicious food. The restaurant is located a block north of Old Town Plaza (historic town square). The restaurant is located north of (behind) the historic San Felipe De Neri catholic church.

    The guide at the visitor center recommended this place. We were very hungry arriving old town, so we went in to have late lunch. We were very excited to try the New Mexico food. It looked great in the picture too. However, the spinach side dish was WAY too salty. I had one bite and that was it. The handmade tamales were very disappointing. It felt like it was microwaved and didn't heat up completely. The beans and tacos were alright. Nothing out of ordinary. The rancheros were very good. The best out of the three dishes we ordered.
