    Green chile bowl
    Corina D.

    My friend loves this place and brought me this for lunch at work because she insisted I needed to try it. The tortilla is handmade and reminded me of my grandmas. The green chile is tasteful and the stew itself is truly comfort food. I will definitely try this pace again!

    Carne Adovada Plate
    Corinna P.

    Place was super busy and packed for lunch. We waited about 5 minutes and were seated quickly. Restaurant is cute and quaint. The staff were super nice and service was prompt. My husband had a carne adovada plate that he mentioned was delicious - just a little small for his liking. I had a ground beef smothered burrito with Christmas that was good. I do agree with my husband that the portion sizes are a little smaller than most restaurants. I love that their flour tortillas are made fresh at the restaurant and they taste absolutely delicious. I also ordered us some sopaipillas that were absolutely scrumptious . I will definitely be returning for the sopaipillas - I still can't stop thinking about them

    Breakfast burrito

    Wonderful local place. Friendly staff and a good variety of food. My wife said her breakfast burrito she has ever eaten! (Steamed potatoes and bacon with Christmas on the top.) we always feel welcome and comfortable here.

    Huevos Rancheros, Christmas with a buttery flour tortilla.
    Joe F.

    Stopped in for the first time and had their Huevos Rancheros. I got em Christmas style and both are solid chile options. The service was quick and we only waited a few minutes to be seated. Thanks to our server for recommending a buttered tortilla when I substituted for flour.

    Vegetarian green chile with whole beans, fried potatoes, tortillas (lard free) and red chile on side
    Evie S.

    Duran's station was fantastic! We tried the green chile bowl with whole beans and fried potatoes and a side of red chile. The bowl came with a soft fluffy tortilla. The salsa that came with the chips was spicier than the two chiles but they were flavorful. The sopapillas here were one of our three favorites. Service was excellent .

    Cheese enchiladas
    Isabelle R.

    I was so excited for this local restaurant! It was recommended so many times online so wanted to check it out. We went at 5 and seated ourselves quickly no wait. Complimentary chips and salsa were really good! Loved the salsa. However the queso had good flavor w the green chile but wasn't hot. Food was a bit small of portions for the price. Main dishes were good . Loved loved loved the red chile! But the sides of boiled potsos and beans didn't have any flavor. 50 bucks for queso, cheese enchiladas and the pork dish. Sadly don't think I would go again

    This place is popular! We set at the bar so we didn't wait long. I had one chicken enchilada and one chile relleno, both were great! I had it Christmas style, red and green chile. I preferred their red sauce. I also ordered the cheese dip but I didn't like that. It tasted from a jar.

    1/2 pound angus green chili cheeseburger special
    Kirstin B.

    Pleasantly surprised! Parking was a tad odd- one way in, one way out parking lot so bigger vehicles be warned. Waitress was super nice. I'm always on the hunt for a decent burger. This one blew me away. It's fabulous. And the green chili was superb. The place was packed within 15 minutes of opening. It was jammed! Oh and the chips and salsa hit the spot. Chips were still warm, and the salsa had a nice bite

    Let's start with the fact that when my mother-in-law and wife agree that the food is fantastic this is a good find. They're red chili sauce is outstanding and the dishes that my wife and mother-in-law had were super enjoyable in both raved about the flavor of the their dishes. The menu is a little limited but the special board is loaded with great offerings as well. You won't be disappointed I guarantee it. You can normally tell right away with a Mexican food restaurant when the salsa is good everything else that follows usually is as good as the salsa. May I say that the salsa was very good as well. Our server Sarah was super accommodating and made sure that we wanted for nothing. Everybody there treated us great. It's nice to be in a different town and find a place that you would go back to time and again. If you've never eaten here I would recommend that you give it a shot. We found it to be quite enjoyable. #irishcatv2

    Nachos
    Alexandria G.

    I like simple when it comes to nachos... and the nachos at Duran's Station were perfect! The nachos come with melted shredded cheese, pinto beans, and jalapeños. I also tried their hamburger steak plate with fried potatoes. I'm not a fan of steam potatoes so I'm glad they have options. And their red chile is so tasty! Some of the best I've had in town. I know Duran's Central Pharmacy is talked about more, but in my opinion, Duran's Station better.

    This breakfast burrito contains bacon and beans instead of potatoes.
    Tommy P.

    I very much enjoy Duran's Station, even despite the marked price increases. Their red (from powder, alas) and green are both good and I look forward to eating here probably once a month. Same chile and same salamander blasting your plate before you're served as at the Duran's Pharmacy downtown. Free chips and salsa (not my favorite, but always tasty) and your drink is always kept full. In fact tht service (generally delightful - we're sad there's been such turnover lately, but they still hustle) and cooking are always on-point and the owner, while more lugubrious in demeanor than any other restauranteur I can think of in the city, is almost always there keeping on top of things. The room can be a little crowded, but is more cozy than oppressive - the Ghattas family has done a fine job with the old Number 8 fire station. Be careful coming out of the one-way parking lot onto Menaul, though: the sign blocks your view and people _fly_ down that street. It's "a liability nightmare," as my dear Uncle Art used to decry.

    Tortilla w butter
    Cheryl A.

    This place is one of my favorite places to eat real authentic New Mexican food! The food is flavorful and the red and green chili are always so delicious. The service is consistently amazing every single time. Be sure to ask for a tortilla with butter as they are made fresh and are slightly larger than a frisbee! The steamed potatoes pair well with the red chili! Duran's Station never disappoints!!!

    Foods always good and people are great. Done in or takeout, you can't go wrong. Been a family staple for years.

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!!!
