I absolutely love Alejandro's cafe! The carve asada plate is always amazing, and the staff are very friendly. I usually go through the drive through, sometimes they must not hear the bell. But usually they are quite fast. The seating and booths are always clean. This is one local business I always try to support! read more

Food and service are top notch. Highly recommend! You won't be disappointed. That's for sure. Their salsa is great read more

The food is authentic and very good. We will continue to go back. The chili doesn't have any flour in it, and supports my gluten free diet.

Food here is pretty good to be honest. The part where they lack extremely is on service. Service is terrible! On the plus side, they are friendly but wow do they take forever if you need anything. read more

All I wanted was cheese enchiladas, I drove around town went to a couple places. It was 1:45 they all closed at 2:00. Needless to say I was turned away. I remembered Alejandro's. I drove through the drive-through it said drive thru closed at 2:00, Please come in. When I went to the front door I saw that the sign said closed at 2:00. I seem again to be out of luck again until a gentleman said that he would take my order, a couple came in behind me, and he even sat them down, even though they closed at 2:00. Now that is Customer Service at its finest. Thank you, Alejandro's for feeding me today. By the way, the cheese enchilada plate I ordered was amazing!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!! You saved the day!!! read more

I haven't been to Alejandro's in quite a while, since they opened their new location I was extremely impressed by the open space's and the decor. The server was new so my daughter and I were very patient and understanding, she was very pleasant which is rare. The food was very good, still made fresh especially the chips and salsa, I couldn't get enough of yummy!! I definitely recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a great place to eat in Belen on a Sunday. read more

Excellent service, and great food!! Highly recommend this restaurant. The server was the best!! read more

Went in to try the food here, unfortunately they only take cash. Their sign said "cash only." When I asked the server when their credit machines will be up and running, he said he didn't know and that it's cash only until their machines are fixed. I would love to try the food here, I've read such great reviews! But I don't carry cash, so I couldn't try it. If I ever get the opportunity again, and I have the necessary payment method on hand, I'll update my review with a full breakdown of the food and location, as usual. Note for management: the location should post cash only signs on the exterior of the building so drive through and walk-in customers know ahead of time. read more

New mexico philly, I ordered this sandwich and this is what I got home with. What's with the lettuce, tomato onion garnish. The bread was absolutely glutenous and the cheese is congealed. The undercooked small portion of fried potatoes is inedible. The "philly" meat is obviously store bought. This third and final chance that was given to this resaurant. I was excited for the new launch however, It has turned out to be a huge disappointment. At least all the roosters are gone. read more

I've been here before and my review was fair but I'm going to add a star because we sat down to eat here, outside of course, and I had one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. Portions are huge, prices are very affordable and the service was great. Two thumbs up. read more

I was looking for some good menudo and this place didn't disappoint. Menudo my son had a breakfast burrito that was delicious.Millies Burrito read more

Delicious food. Pretty sure the tortillas are homemade. The posole was soooo good. Service was fantastic.

While driving from Socorro to Gallup, we wanted a bowl of pasole and menudo. This place did not disappoint. The salsa tasted freshly made and had the perfect amount of spice. The pasole was very well seasoned. The menudo was also delicious. The service staff were very attentive. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

It was just a great place and a great breakfast. Couldn't resist ordering a special from the specials board -- Huevos Rancheros with Carne Adovada with red sauce. The eggs, ordered over easy, were perfectly over easy. The beans were tasty with just the right amount of chew. The Carne Adovada was pulled rather than in chunks. The texture was tender and succulent. The sauce was right on with its flavor. It was not hot, but it had a nice chile-ness. The hash browns, not something I am used to with this dish, were cooked to a nice crisp with interior tenderness. Wish the corn tortilla under it all had been better, but that was minor. The side of flour tortillas was spectacular. They were freshly homemade and had a nice amount of charring from their grilling. Great taste and texture. The interior was clean and well maintained, the kitchen looked spotless, and the server was efficient, kind and considerate. There was nothing to deduct a star for and I can't imagine what they could do to earn any more than the 5 stars they are getting. read more

Worst service. Food is very good, but definitely rude and lazy waitresses. They over charged me and ran the credit card even though I pointed out the problem. They struggled to figure out how to reverse the charge. I used to love this place. I certainly won't eat there again. read more

Terrible food and poor service. They got the order wrong and had to remake it twice. Two meals out of three we ordered were cold. I asked for them to do something about the cold food, they refused to do anything to rectify the situation. Will never return. read more

Alejandro, his food is awesome! But his personality is even better! The huevos rancheros were tasty and done well!

A list of everything wrong with my services at Alejandro's Cafe 1- they gave us something we didn't order and charged us for it 2- they forgot a part of our order 3- One of the items ordered was burnt now im not trying to be rude im just stating the facts the food does not come close to other local new mexican restaurants. This restaurant could have received a better rating had this not been the 3rd time having an issue 1/5 wouldn't recommend to a friend read more

We really like this place. The service is excellent, the food is excellent. I can't really recommend a particular dish as I have tried a bunch of them and every one is good, Taco Tuesday's, Millies Burrito, huevos rancheros.. It's all good read more

Ecellant little restaurant. It seems to be a local favorite, but service is fast and the food excellant. Not far off I25. Well worth the small detour. read more

Tiny little peaceful town on the way to the Very Large Array in Socorro. Friendly service and locals. The best carne adovada I had in the albuquerque area. You can tell there is a lot of love in this place. Delicious. read more

Huevos Rancheros are fantastic actually everything here is awesome definitely recommend!!!

Very good food. Great service. Wonderful owner and staff. Alejandro can make an excellent vegan burrito and that says a lot. The salsa is to die for. And the great service make this little restaurant worth visiting. read more

My daughter came in from out of town and my sister told me about Alejandro's so we went there for lunch. OMG! It was amazing! We had the Carne Adovada Enchilada plate. The carne adovada was amazing and moist. Some restaurants serve it really dry. It was perfect! The red chile is very tasty with a little heat! I loved the rice. You go to other restaurants in Belen and its watery or over cooked. This rice was fluffly and the perfect sauce. And finally, you get amazing huge sopapillas with your meal! This will be my go to place from now on for Mexican food! read more

Being in Belen and trying to find a quality meal is not easy. Until now. With a menu designed for a quick breakfast or lunch. I've eaten here twice, once carne adovado and today chicken enchiladas. Both times the meal has been perfect. You can taste the authenticity in the food with subtle undertones of a bit of pork in the beans. Heat is right on in the chile very well done. The price, how about chicken enchiladas with rice, beans, chips and salsa and sopapillas with an ice tea for less than 8.50. The perfect lunch. read more

The pozole and huevos rancheros were excellent. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a great meal for a reasonable price. The chile was spicy and the food was hot. The waitresses were friendly and efficient. Great place! read more

Some of the very best carne adovada I've had and to top it off it was carne adovada huevos! Some of the best salsa I've ever eaten too; and they will sell it by the quart to take home if you ask. read more

Alejandro is the nicest hardworking short order cook I know. Our family has been visiting Alejandro's for the last few years. His family restaurant is welcoming and friendly. The service is very good with friendly smiles and often a personal hand shake from Alejandro reminding customers of his gratitude. His food is delicious and his burritos are to die for. It is honestly the best burrito I ever had. And he always makes it custom to my liking. The salsa is incredible. I thank my friends Tody and Gloria for introducing us to this wonderful restaurant. Our 8 year old son enjoys the "Mickey Mouse" pancakes. Thank you Alejandro for making Belen a better place. read more

Very good food, busy at lunchtime, I like spicy and it was spicy. I would come back for sure.

I ordered huevos rancheros with green chile, flour tortillas, and over-hard eggs. I got red chile, corn tortillas... and over-hard eggs! I love a place that knows how to cook their eggs. It makes up for the mistakes in the order. Not what I wanted, but yummy. read more
