    The food was pretty good and the atmosphere is quite enticing with all the artwork and music playing. The only complaint I have is the service was pretty slow. I think it took about 10 or 15 minutes before someone acknowledged us, and then when our food came it was a bit cold. I enjoyed the dishes that we ordered. I'd probably go again, but I'd make sure I'm not in a rush or anything.

    Delicious, unique food you won’t find anywhere else! Super fast service and fresh, healthy dishes. Fry bread is a must. Ordered the lamb and beef taco and festive beef soup. Salsa and chips is also refreshingly delicious. Pueblo bread was kind of bland tasted like white bread. Love that the restaurant features local traditions.

    The food was delicious. My favorite was the Zia soda brand. Made exclusively in New Mexico. The flavor was like nothing I’ve tasted for root beer! We ate the Bison and Elk chili - everything was superb- highly recommended stopping to eat here

    I read in the Albuquerque Visitor’s Guide that the Indian Pueblo Kitchen was worth trying. They were correct. It was delicious, and I got a lot for the money. I ordered the Pueblo Feast Day Experience. For $15.00, I got one stew (Red Chili Beef Bone Posole), 1 bread (Pueblo Bread), Jemenez enchiladas, Pueblo potato salad, and 1 slice of pie (pumpkin). The posole especially was worth it. It would be worth going back there the next time I am in Albuquerque.

    Indian taco! Heaven. Taste of the Pueblos offers samples of 3 stews! Service was outstanding. Not busy at all for a Sunday brunch time!! Attached museum is bonus for sure!

    The restaurant is very pretty with Native American artwork everywhere and the food was good as well. The staff is polite and made sure I enjoyed everything and gave me recommendations of the most popular items and their favourites as well. The Jemez Enchilada had a subtle and smokey flavour but not it wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. Blue Corn Onion Rings were hot and crispy I wanted more, but a small serving was enough for two of us. Tewa Tacos are a popular item and I can see why. With beans, cheese, peppers and fresh veggies it was filling and delicious! Their chai latte was perfect on a cool morning as well- not to sweet or bitter! Why shouldn’t you trust tacos? Because they’re always spilling the beans 🌮

    Such a great experience! All the staff were attentive and so nice. Great customer service and the food was so good. Had the blue corn onion rings (very good, not heavy or greasy), Navajo tacos and slices of pie (prune and peach). Could not have picked a better place. The gift shop next door was super cool to look around in with very fun items and great art. High recommend 100%.

    Everything was delicious. A wonderful meal on its own, but especially after touring the museum. Our family enjoyed the elk chili, blue corn enchiladas, burger and posole. Everything was fantastic.

    Disclaimer: yes, I ordered griddle cakes and elk chili, no judgements. The food was fire, fresh with a ton of flavors. Couldn’t decide on lunch or breakfast so made a bold choice. The staff is incredibly friendly as well, don’t miss out.

    Rated the best Indian tacos! They were awesome, but the prime rib dip on the flat bread was amazing, and make sure to try the green chilli pork stew!

    IPK always does an amazing job feeding my family. New items on the menu so it was nice to try something different. Plates below are custom dishes so the standard meals obviously have more garnish and such. Great customer server, or server was amazing and I love the atmosphere.

    Delicious local Indian food. They use blue corn for many of their dishes. Fast service, friendly staff. I had the elk chili with homemade blue corn corn bread which is sweet but not overly sweet. Good portions and reasonable costs. There's also a souvenir store next to it in the building. Nice location.

    Delicious. We had the ancient grain waffles, IPK burger, caprese salad, and breakfast burrito. We also started with the honey sampler. We highly recommend all of them.

    We were very impressed with restaurant. The food was very tasty. Portions were large and prices were very reasonable. The service was spot on. We tried various flat bread tacos with Churro lamb and beef. We also tired the green chile elk stew with blue corn muffins

    Blue corn onion rings were good, but batter was a little to thick (preference) Blue corn enchiladas with chicken and green chille salsa was phenomenal Wife had indian taco woth ground beef it was ok but the ground beef lacked flavor. If we would have got the chicken or Lamb I think it would have been better

    This was a lovely lunch, it was very busy and the waiter was stretched very thin. We loved the "Taste of the Pueblos" with the three soups. Although the servings varied greatly. Some people's portions were less and with little meat but others were perfect. Same with the fry bread, some tasted good others were cold and stale. Overall we would go back, maybe on a day when it's not so busy.

    We hada delicious meal at Indian Pueblo Kitchen. They have the most amazing bread and raspberry preserve ever at Indian Pueblo Kitchen. The entire meal was amazing and so was the staff.

    Incredible! If you are in the area be sure to visit, the indian taco was one of the best meals I have had in recent memory. Also who doesn't love pickle chips? Unlike any I have ever had! The cheese fries we shared were also delicious.

  • 5/5 BreAnna H. 1 year ago on Google
    We got the fry bread dip, enchiladas with steak, and the Kool Aid fried pickles. So good and the service was fast! A modern twist on some traditional foods, definitely digging their options! I also love that this restaurant is in the larger community building, easy to check out some of the other shops! And they have a giant parking lot so parking was super easy. What an awesome contribution to the Indigenous food scene! I'll be recommending y'all to anyone else I know who comes through town.

    I tried the Prime Rib Fry Bread Dip and it was absolutely delicious. Meat was very flavorful and not overcooked. Medium rare would've been better but it wasn't dry at all. Fry Bread is delicious as well. Like Pita but with more flavor

  • 4/5 Kameron K. 10 months ago on Google
    First time dinning here, was really tasty. Food took a while to get to our table and the fries were cold but tasted great. The atmosphere feels a little like an airport restaurant or like a hospital restaurant. Was quite small but again food tasted great and is a awesome casual dining spot.

  • 5/5 Charlie Davis (. 11 months ago on Google
    I love this restaurant. The food is so good, I could eat here every week. Unique food items, unique atmosphere. Their all day breakfast is all so good, though I usually end up getting the blue corn enchiladas. Everything from the cheese filling to the red chile sauce to the beans and veggies on the side is so flavorful and cooked perfectly. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Abhishek S. 1 year ago on Google
    4.5 stars No, Indian Pueblo food is not Mexican food! That was my perception before I walked into this place. But that was quickly answered when I saw the menu. The staff is super super nice and friendly and very attentive. The dishes are pleasing to the eyes, the aroma is fantastic and the flavors are fresh and distinct. The plethora of unique dish offerings makes this place extremely special, especially since there are not many other places that I am aware of that offer this kind of food. Highly recommended to experience this unique culture and food..!!

    Excellent restaurant in a very nice setting. Service was great and all the dishes I tried were delicious. The enchiladas were superb (get the lamb), the fry bread was light and fluffy, even the squash was flavorful and seasoned perfectly. An absolute must try, definitely the best meal I've had in New Mexico

    the food was delicious - from the elk chili, navajo tacos, the pies - everything! the decor was lovely. we were happy we were able to order fry bread to go.

  • 4/5 Strangers' G. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was delicious and the portions were huge. We had to wait a long time for service, but it was understandable because the place was so crowded when we came. I was expecting little touristy bites when we finally got food but it turned out to be so much we couldn't finish our plates. My dad said his huevos rancheros were the best he's ever had, and I felt the same about the bread pudding. Unfortunately, we both had horrible indigestion within a few hours after the meal and spent the rest of the day rather uncomfortable. I'd eat there again but not while traveling, as we were.

    Stopped here on our way to Taos. Nice to find a unique food option. Really enjoyed the food offerings. A few gluten free choices were available. We went during lunch and it was very busy with locals. Which is a good sign. Recommend giving the Pueblo Kitchen a try. You won’t regret it.
