    Huevos Rancheros burrito with runny eggs
    Chad P.

    Okay everyone, you have to hear this. I've been to New Mexico once or twice and I have just always so much loved New Mexican food since a friend introduced me to it. But you can't really find it anywhere else in the country. You can find variations of Cal-Mex and Tex-Mex here and there but there's nothing that really compares to the New Mexican cuisine. So on this very long road trip I was taking, I had to find a place to stop and get some sort of New Mexican cuisine. So after staying the night in Tucumcari, I piled into the car early in the morning and headed towards Flagstaff. I knew I would be passing through Albuquerque so there would be plenty of opportunity. After Yelping to figure out what would give me a really good breakfast burrito and probably not should have been doing that while I was driving, I stumbled across Burrito Express. It came across as no frills and just overall good food for a good price point. So after mapping where I needed to go, I was set. Passing through Albuquerque a couple hours later, I stopped and found some parking with just a little bit of difficulty. It's a very busy strip mall so there's lots of cars around. I walked in and asked the very friendly employee for a delicious New Mexican breakfast burrito. He helped me figure out exactly what I wanted and when he asked me how I wanted my eggs, I was initially confused. What do you mean how do I want my eggs? I've never been asked that before when regards to a breakfast burrito. He said I could have them runny if I wanted. Okay! So I did just that. And this was one of the best breakfast burritos I have ever had! Thoroughly delicious and really made my quick stop in Albuquerque worth it. Wish I could have stayed longer.

    The homeade tortillas here are addicting A delicious burrito New location this is, open only a few weeks, easy access just off Jefferson. Not busy at all....yet Good choice for a fast to-go meal

    Ah, Burrito Express... my trip here was a mixed blessing. On one hand, the burrito was exceptionally unexceptional. But on the other hand, at least I can mark it off my list of places to try now. I must be missing something with those 5 star reviews... My burrito was the picture of mediocrity. Though the tortilla had a decidedly homemade quality to it, it was too dense and flavorless to be a saving grace. On the subject of tortillas, I think they misheard me when I asked for a breakfast burrito, because I'm pretty sure they gave me a tortilla burrito instead... although I did detect a meager thread of yellow and orange stuff running thru the middle of my flour roll-up. Truly, given the list of ingredients in this particular menu option, I cannot imagine they added more than two thin strands of "sautéed green pepper" or a literal half-teaspoon of tomatoes or any other filling. And for the record, it tasted... well, yellow and orange. There was simply very little flavor, New Mexican or otherwise. Upon first review of the menu board, I thought "Cool! They're all only $5ish!" Upon first review of our goods, however, I realized they were actually pretty overpriced. To their credit, my 10-year-old enjoyed his steak burrito and said it was just as good as Twisters. He's only 10 though, and would say the same about Taco Bell. I'm sure there are plenty of folks who appreciate the simpler burritos in life, and that's perfectly respectable. For my part, I'm super disappointed that I squandered my rare breakfast burrito calories on this mediocre thing. I will not go back.

    The Chili Cheese Fries. I was completely disgusted after finding a HAIR in my food.

    I found hair in my green Chile cheese fries here today not too long ago I was there. I'm very happy they were able to make me a new bowl of fries which did make it up to me but I would hope you guys do wear hair caps and or have your hair tied back while dealing with food. Thank you!

    Friendly and fast. But the beef burrito was loaded with too much refried pinto beans. It's all I tasted.

    In a pinch, these are good green chile cheese enchiladas. Not the best, but good enough to repeat over and over!

It's difficult to find good restaurants that can cater to young adults and have REALLY good food and service. We came first on Sunday for brunch. The food was very good. It was a bit small on the portions though. We had breakfast enchiladas and omelet and blue corn pancakes. Then we came back for dinner. The chicken mole was divine, tacos, sea bass, pork steak etc. absolutely perfect. Good portions. Food tastes like it was homemade. The cuisine is Mexican...not New Mexican. The server was great about answering any questions and willing to omit something if possible. Our server was attentive and so gracious. The wine list was surprisingly good. We had a French Viognier for less than $50. Finally the owner came out to talk to us and thanks us for coming. I'm in the business and haven't had this kind of service for a long time. Our son with Celiac was very satisfied, but also we all were. I would absolutely come back regardless of food restrictions. Please go!!

The property seems massive and it's really beautiful with all the cottonwood trees. When you get into the restaurant, there are just tons of combinations of these cozy little nooks, long dining tables, separated rooms, patio seating, and event spaces. There is something to see everywhere you look; fountains, fireplaces, and plants, hanging chiles, and more. They even raise cattle and chickens on property and source from their own greenhouse for their menu items. The ambience was just really cool and even though the winds were blowing like crazy, we were totally comfortable out in the patio section with the screens up. The food is authentic New Mexican cuisine. They brought out delicious tortilla chips for us to snack on while we decided on what to order. It really felt like there was no wrong choice to make. They were very accommodating for food allergies and restrictions. There was great flavor in everything our group tried. I split the half order of chicken nachos and it was a hefty half order! I was so stuffed, but then, hot sopapillas appeared and I couldn't say no to those! Especially not since the tables had their own sourced honey. There is also a full tequila bar, but since we were traveling with kids, didn't get to take too much advantage of that as an option. I wish we would've had more to explore the property but if I end up back in the Albuquerque area, I'll stop by again.

The good: The red chile rubbed ribs are phenomenal, but 1/2 rack for $44?! It's not a lobster tail. Beans and guac-excellent, calabacitas-very good. The chicken enchiladas-delicious with tender chicken. The bad: 2 Grand Gold margaritas at $15 each that were neither grand or gold. I've had better house margaritas at Applebees, lol. Their red chile was sparse, but that actually turned out in my favor because it was on the edge of burnt. A bit acrid. The sopas were dense, flat, chewy, and overcooked. The salsa-underwhelming. If you want excellent Grand Gold margaritas, the best salsa in New Mexico, and excellent portion sizes- SADIE'S ALL THE WAY!!!
