Stopped in for breakfast. One thing that stood out to me was ... that their food is well seasoned. Huevos Rancheros was good with their papitas. Fast & friendly service read more

Their breakfast burrito is something special, especially with pork. We were tempted to get handheld ones, which you can only get take-away, but we're super glad we stuck around and split an almost football-size burrito. Don't leave ABQ without one. read more

You'd think a place that specializes in New Mexican food would not have other dishes to compliment. But stay with me... Pancakes. I don't know what they do, it's not like they are made with red or green chili or anything, they are just pancakes. But just amazing pancakes. Big fan of the breakfast burrito as well. The Chef, Daniel, knows his stuff and has taught his crew well. This may be your new favorite place if you work near downtown. read more

it's apparent i wasn't specific enough since i'm receiving nasty responses about lemonade supposing to taste bitter. let me be clear. both the w a t e r and the l e m o n a d e tasted like how a dirty toilet would smell. the after taste from our drinks tasted how halitosis smells. read more

This is a small place, but man is it so worth it! Food here absolutely amazing! I have never had Chile Rellano as good as I've had it here.

The food was traditional New Mexico. It was authentic and tasty. The waiter provided amazing service, I highly recommend this cafe.

This was the only place I ate twice on my recent trip to Albuquerque for a convention. I had only been to New Mexico once before, 11 years ago, but remembered how I loved the cheese enchiladas with green chile and this place did the best of the 3 that I tried. I also liked the accompanying beans, although growing up in San Antonio I prefer refritos. Service was very good. read more

I saw that they were considered the top eatery according to a local newscast so before taking my family to eat here, i decided to pop in right before 12 Noon. Positives: clean restrooms cloth napkins easy paid parking quick greeting and seating Experience: Ordered the green chile stew which had cubed beef, potato, celery, carrots, onion, garlic, and sparse chopped green chile and 2 homemade tortillas. Chips and Salsa, which had cilantro, chopped chile, tomato, carrots? Mexican combination plate which had a tamale, cheese enchilada, ground beef taco. The potatoes were a bit hard in the stew. The ground meat in taco was tasteless. The chile was mild. With my soda, plus tip, it came out just under $25 plus $1 for parking. It took 55 minutes for lunch. read more

I was craving tacos. This place was within walking distance of work so I gave them a try. Small but comfy space. Nice staff. The Calabacitas were some of the best I've ever had. I'd go back just for them. Tacos were just fine, nothing special but not awful. Affordable. read more

If you have a gift card for the Baca Boys Cafe be prepared them not to accept it. If I could give fewer stars I would because I feel they literally stole money. I went it for brunch. The eggs were gross. I went to pay and was told they would not accept my gift card. Overall, the they were very rude and the food isn't very good. There are a ton of awesome restaurants in Albuquerque. Don't waste your time here. read more

Great NM lunch. Server was fantastic. Highly recommend the calabacitas with the red enchiladas.

One of the benefits of being a Yelp member is recommending restaurants and relying on honest reviews. This place is a perfect example. I think I've found my new favorite Mexican food restaurant in Albuquerque. Excellent authentic Mexican food with flavor, seasoning, and Chile that's just right. Nice atmosphere. Clean. Excellent service. read more

New Mexican food downtown. Brunch is the name of the game. Huevos rancheros are a sensible choice. Once, I ordered the carne adovada enchiladas with an over-easy egg on top. Chile is tasty and everything is made fresh. Perhaps the biggest draw for me: $4 handheld breakfast burritos. Meat options are bacon, carne adovada, and ham. I prefer red chile in mine, but christmas is a good choice too. Seeing as the restaurant opens at 8 AM, it's very doable to call in your order and pick something up on the way to work. I also have to give a shout-out to the staff. Kind, sincere people who always treat me with consideration and respect. This restaurant is a necessary fixture of the downtown food scene, and I see a successful future for them. read more

Came in at about 1ish and it was a little crowded. It's a small spot, so you may not want come here if you're in a hurry. However, you should come anyway. The waitresses are really hospitable and the place is run by a family. Which I love ;) I ordered a relleno burger because it sounded different. I mean, who deep fries bread in a relleno mix? They do and it was yummy. Not too greasy and flavorful. Wish they had homemade fries but that's because I'm a French fry snob. The star of the show was the salsa. It was beautiful! Fresh! Hint of spice! I can eat it all day! I would come back to get breakfast and pour the salsa over the eggs and potatoes! It's a date in the morning! Me and the salsa! read more

Popped in early this morning for breakfast on a whim. This place is legit! There was a large party already seated when we arrived, but we were quickly attended to with unmatched speed and enthusiasm. I ordered a coffee and the French toast, which I was assured by the waitress is " the bomb." She was right! It was nicely battered, dusted in powered sugar, served with 4 slices of crispy bacon (or your choice of meat), and a cup of fruit (strawberries and bananas today) for $8.95. Wow, I had to have every bite and was full all day. My partner had the carne adovada enchiladas, served "breakfast style" with papas, beans and a flour tortilla. The serving was also generous; he brought a box home. The carne could have used a few more hours getting soft and juicy, but I attribute this to it being so early in the day. The green Chile was hot, the red was flavorful. This place feels like home with friendly service, and delicious, freshly prepared food that will leave you fueled up to wander downtown Abq. read more

Really wish I could have given a higher review consistent with the 4.5/5 current stars. This place wasn't bad, it was OK. The signature of a monte cristo sandwich is, it's breaded and friend whole. We got a ham sandwich with a side of jam. The jam was likely just a bottled jelly. Also ordered the pozole, as a New Mexico staple I was expecting bold, obvious exploding flavors, typical of a good pozole. The broth was watered down and bland, lacking flavor. I would be surprised if they boiled the pork in the same broth. The stewed pork was also not tender. On the upside the food came out hot service was quick and easy. Server could not recommend a "best selling dish". I won't be coming back. read more

Stopped in here for lunch. We had a club sandwich and their pozole rojo. My wife liked her sandwich and I loved their bright red posole with chunks of pork and hominy. They had dried oregano and sliced white onion to add to your liking along with lemon. I had corn instead of their usual flour tortillas on the side. Oh their salsa that accompanied the complimentary chips was excellent and on point! Four and a half stars. read more

Family Owned and operated. Come in to dine if you want to be treated like a part of the family. They are right across the street from my work so I get plenty of chances to go there and eat delicious food. My favorite are the burritos. The red chili is tasty and not too hot. The family that owns it is really nice and that makes the big difference. Why go to a chain when you can actually chat with the owners and get the history of the restaurant as well as listen to all of the other projects they're working on. Support local! Say hi to the family Vegan bean burrito with potatoes on the side. Just ask for no cheese! Delicious. read more

This was the first time that I have eaten here. Like many other New Mexico breakfast spots, my go to is the carne adovada.

Wanted to love it! The fries looked better than they tasted. I'm thinking this should not be on the menu. Their corned beef is not freshly sliced corned beef. It tasted a little hard and it looks like it's more for a hash. You can see by the pictures. When I asked for the check, you can see what was still on my plate. Nobody even asked if it was ok. I think the food would be better if you went with something more Mexican. read more

We had a late lunch at BACA's and really enjoyed it. The food was 'classic' New Mexican. I had a baked Chile relleno with eggs over easy and my wife had a salad with strawberries. Both dishes came fast and tasted good. Service was quick and the waitress was very friendly. Perfect for a quick lunch. read more

This place was absolutely amazingly delicious! Great job to the Baca Boys! Their outdoor seating is perfect too as I was able to bring my husky with me! This is place is a must do! I had the red chile adovada with eggs and a friend had the take away breakfast burrito. All were amazing! read more

Came for lunch with some of the girls from work. Downtown is kind of a go to for us since working in the south valley really limits our options. Downtown is the next closest thing without having to really go into town. We do have a few regular spots downtown and we were interested in trying something else. I remembered that someone had recently told me about Baca Boys Cafe. We did a small bit of recon and all agreed to giving them a look see! Don't the trip downtown scare you off. There is plenty of parking and it shouldn't cost you anymore than a $1 in the meter. We lucked out and found a lone spot right across the street from eatery. Bonus! What's more? There's sidewalk chalkboard set outside the front door that says "Taco Special $1.75 Beef or Chicken". More winning to be had! We had planned to order a couple of plates and share....we knew that would no longer be the case! The place is tight, but cozy. They have a nice counter you can sit at that looks out towards a high window where the food comes out of the kitchen. Then there's a few high tops along the wall when you walk in. The rest of the floor is filled with 4 tops. We made it just in time. A large table of 6 or 8 just sat and there were still people walking in. The service was good too, we were greeted quickly and she returned to take our orders right away. We all ordered tacos and decided on sharing the patty melt plate as well. As waited and people watched, to our surprise and delight, an order of chips and salsa was brought to our table. We were just bonusing all over the place. The tacos were generous in their portions and I must say the chicken was my favorite. It was cooked well, not overly dry at all. Best part, they tasted like homemade cooking which a huge plus in my book. The patty melt came with green chile which had a real nice fresh flavor and heat to it. It comes with thousand island and lettuce on the side for those of you who like to tarnish the patty melt! hahahaha! I kid, I kid. But it does, for those of you who might want to partake in it. Nice new spot for lunch with the girls or even the rest of the work fam. Looking forward for the next trip back, perhaps it will also be on a "Taco Special" day..... read more

Came in here looking for something good with green sauce and I was NOT disappointed! I had the breakfast burrito and it was one of the best breakfast burritos I've had in a very long time. The flavor of the green sauce was phenomenal, it had the perfect amount of spice mixed in with the amazing taste. The waitress was very nice and personable, helping me with my choice.

I stopped in with some coworkers for lunch today. They started us off with chips and salsa. The chips were good and the salsa was fantastic. Moderately spicy with a nice depth of flavor. I had the tamale plate and it was really good. Everything on the plate had great flavors and fit well together. The atmosphere is fun and the service was excellent. I'd definitely go back. read more

I have to admit this is going to be a new favorite for me. The relleno was one of the best breakfast plates I've had in some time.

Delicious breakfast & friendly, professional service. We will come here again next time we are passing through Albuquerque.

Best lunch spot in the downtown area! This is always our first choice. I have had a different meal each time I come here and have not been dissapointed yet! The food is fresh and the service is quick and friendly. Be sure and save a bit of room for dessert. We had the chocolate cake with natillas over the top! Wow!!!!! It was over the top!

I am in town for business and had zero interest in eating the salad that was offered at the conference lunch. As I often do, I turned to Yelp. Baca Boys was not only nearby, it was highly rated. Man-o-man, we're the reviews spot on. I had a chimichanga that was delicious. This could be my "go-to" place while I'm here. Thanks Yelpers for the great suggestion. read more

Gave this place a try based on high Yelp reviews. After stopping for lunch, I'm bewildered at the 5 stars. The food was salty and mushy. I ordered the enchiladas and it came with wilted lettuce, barely any cheese, and salty salty rice. The beans were really the only decent item on the plate. I was surprised that when I asked for hot salsa I was given a bottle of Chalupa. They only have one salsa (it's not bad, it's just not spicy and it's average). read more

I had the chile rellenos and they were very bland. The salsa was missing salt, the cheese was tasteless... I was disappointed as I was expecting something better due to all the good reviews. Service wasn't great either, I felt rushed the entire time. Someone else came in and the waitress was also very unfriendly towards the other customer. I would say the attitude was borderline rude. I am visiting from out of town but would never go back if you ask me! I'm giving two stars because at least the portions were generous. read more
