    Delicious family friendly place. Ordered chicken fajitas and wasn't disappointed.
    Candace W.

    Easy walk from the Clyde hotel. Service was very friendly. Definitely a family run joint with caring people cooking and working. Menu wasn't too big or small. Lots of choices. Highly recommend the red beans. So flavorful!

    My husband and I came here for breakfast on a weekend and the place wasn't busy at all but had a cool vibe to it. It's a hole in the wall place off of Central but the waiter was super nice. The menu is a bit small but had enough options, the food was delicious and the green chile had a bite.

    My first visit to this establishment was May 6, 2025. There is nearby parking on the street or in parking garage is not too far away. I went slightly after the lunch hour, so it was not crowded. I am told it can be crowded at lunchtime. There are many good choices New Mexican food choices on the menu. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Decor is casual. I had the bean burrito with side of Mexican rice. My dining companion had enchiladas. We each agreed that our food was delicious. Prices are excellent.

    Handheld Breakfast Burrito

    This picture really doesn't do it justice, but the breakfast burrito was fire . So let me tell you I was on a little obsession about finding a good breakfast burrito in Albuquerque and I tried at least 5 highly rated ones. None of them were as good as the one from baca boys. Their burrito was cheesy, moist, very easy to eat and full of flavor. I just can't say enough good things about it.

    How does it keep getting BETTER? Never miss a chance to visit on annual ABQ trip. Somehow the calabacitas were even more glorious than last year. Fantastic service as always

    Chile Relleno and eggs. Sorry it was half eaten. ;-)

    Food was delicious. First time trying a chile relleno and eggs...it works! Friendly and quick service. If you are looking for a great place downtown - give it a shot. Next time I'll try lunch!

    Excellent! Carne Adovada breakfast plate was amazing. Meat had some bite but just right. Potatoes were good. Eggs cooked perfectly. Beans were right. Tortilla was so so. Not too much flavor. Coffee food. Friendly. I enjoyed! Small breakfast menu but good. The handheld burrito was amazing. Only a take out item. But well worth it and the tortilla is perfect with that.

It was extremely busy and loud. I didn't wait in line to order, but it took them 50 minutes to prepare our salads. The service wasn't very friendly or helpful at first. I'm hoping it was because they were so busy. We had to leave 10 minutes after getting our salads so I had to take most of it home which was disappointing. On a good note, the salads were amazing. They were the best salads I've ever tasted which I why I'm giving three stars instead of less. My mom ordered the 505 Cobb and they forgot her chicken which was frustrating after waiting for nearly an hour. However, they did make up for it by making her extra chicken! And their chicken was absolutely delicious!! I ordered Persephone's Lunch which was outstanding. I added chicken to it which made it nearly $20 for a bowl salad. The seating is open and you order and sit down wherever you can find. The seating is hard on your backside and uncomfortable, especially when waiting for so long. The salads and fresh ingredients are delectable. If I ever return, it will be a to go order that is put in very early. Cheers!

We…read moreordered our drinks (San Pellegrino Limonata and Blood orange) and received them right away. Everything on the menu looked delicious, but we both ended up ordering the Eggplant Parmesan. A friend had heard it was the best in town, and I have to agree! Two large slices of eggplant with crisp breading accompanied by cacio e Pepe pasta and some marinara sauce. The eggplant was well seasoned fried perfectly. The serving was so large that I took half of it home. I also ordered tiramisu which was creamy and delicious. I saw the cannoli and the dulce de leche cheesecake as well- they all looked great. The location has plenty of street parking by it. I walked from the CNM campus and it was only a couple of blocks. Ambiance was cute, looked like exactly what it is in the very best way. I definitely plan on coming back soon...and next time I'll remember to take pictures! Delicious!

We just had dinner here tonight, introducing two family members to the restaurant.... and we had a VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE. FOOD: I've appreciated their eggplant parmigiana in the past, a favorite of mine. Not tonight. It wasn't crispy and was served with very little sauce. It is served with a cacio de pepe linguine that was quite DRY. One family member had the lasagna. Presentation was nice but she found the dish lacking. She said it was OK but that she has had better... She's Italian and grew up with homemade lasagna. My partner and our second dinner guest had the spaghetti with meatballs dish. My partner has been a fan of this plate. He found the pasta a bit dry, short of sauce (again). Our dinner guest commented on how DELICIOUS the meatballs were, with which my partner agreed. For dessert we had the crème brûlée and the canelones. The crème brûlée tasted more like a pudding and a custard, and the flavor was very different from what were used to in the crème brûlée... Deficient. As for the cannelloni, the filling was tasty. The crusty wrap was very thick and dry. All in all quite a disappointing meal experience. AMBIENCE: A small comfortable neighborhood restaurant with charm. SERVICE: A big robust personality had our waitress. A bit on the loud side, a bit much on the robustness which felt a bit over bearing at the tableside. She herself was not unpleasant, but her presentation was a bit of nails on the chalkboard. To say the least, it was a disappointing experience tonight and as much as we have enjoyed this place in the past I'm not sure that we would return again. Especially disappointing because we live less than 2 miles away and it really has felt like our neighborhood place.

    Great servers! Everyone was helpful and kind so front of house manager must be doing their job!…read moreFood was delicious. Crispy Brussels sprouts had great flavor but way too much cayenne pepper (which adds nothing but heat) my husband ate them but said he would prefer less heat. I had 2 bites and gave up. Baked brie was amazing I loved the granny Smith apples! My husband loved them too. We also got the hummus duo which has dates on it and I used a date in the brie that was fantastic! I'll ask for that next time! It was the bomb. Hummus duo was good the watermelon radish was beautiful on the plate but gave both hummus a bitter flavor. Shrimp and grits. We live in Alabama currently and this was our least favorite dish of the day. Shrimp were cooked well and so were the grits but there was just something else it needed. Parmesan cheese and some onions maybe. Greek salad delicious. The flash fried chick peas made it. We needed more dressing and the wait staff was prompt and sweet about it. Spicy Lime Ceasar was ok till he requested more dressing then it was amazing. I was afraid of ordering it but the dressing wasn't too spicy . White sangria I had was disappointing it was more of a 1995 wine spritzer than a wine infused with citrus which is the very essence of sangria. It was ok and had I ordered a wine spritzer I would say yummo but I ordered sangria. Pork Belly flat bread was the winner of the night the tomato jam made that dish. I would love more on it next time but we will definitely be ordering that dish again! Yes we had a lot of left over food! But I love sampling a menu and this menu has a lot to offer. We will be back to try 4 or five other things. I look forward to my return.

In a rare turn of events, both kids got the same thing, the Korean chicken bites with the sauce on the side, which was a great decision bc it did have a kick to it. The chicken itself was a bit dry. Both adults also got the pork belly flatbread. I found it a bit unbalanced with too much sauce and not enough other toppings, and the base wasn't as crispy as I prefer. Speaking of crispy, we opted for the appetizer brussel sprouts, and they were a bit chewy and on the not so super crispy side. Service was fine, and glad to have a little break from heavier New Mexican cuisine on this night. Lots of variety on the cocktail and adult beverage menu too.

She also seemed very distracted and did not have good recall when we were putting in our orders. She came back several times to ask what our drink orders were before finally bringing over the tablet to enter in the information right in front of us. Secondly, our food took forever to come. This also happened the first time we came to eat at social house a year ago, but it felt more pronounced this time. And the restaurant was not full. Probably a third full of patrons? We were seated at 6:45 and our food did not arrive until 830. Quite the wait if you ask me. Finally, the kitchen was having some sort of smoke issue. If you've never been in an establishment where the grease smell and smoke is visibly accumulating in the air, you know it's quite distracting from a dining experience. It was so smoky inside. I actually caught myself blinking my eyes to see if it was just my vision being blurry or if it was the room. Our food was fine, the pork belly was a standout. Otherwise, I'm not sure I need to come here again. I wish that they would get a better handle on service timing, because that seems to be an ongoing issue.
