Hidden treasure
Stephanie C.

Mild coconut curry sauce with chicken, veggies and jasmine rice. WOW was I pleasantly surprised. This was delicious and healthy. Staff is always friendly. I really enjoy this location

Cockroach

This little guy joined us for dinner and the manager brushed it off like it happens all the time. Couldn't enjoy our expensive meal without looking around too see if he was going to eat our food with us

Omelette, disappointing display - A breakfast plate features toasted bread, roasted potato wedges, a folded omelette with green herbs, and small containers of salsa and syrup.

Just went there today, all my plate was crumbled in one tiny plate, worst service & display. Disappointed, even it cost me $35.00

Southwest Benny

This is a Hell Yes for a recommendation. The staff is nice and helpful. The restaurant was clean. But this Southwest Benny with green chille creamy cheese was outstanding. The wife and I usually will share our meals but this was a "Nope! You ain't getting any of this." I 100% recommend this place. If you are in the Albuquerque area make sure you hit this place up.

Philly and Onion Rings
Cashea S.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this restaurant, but I must say it was really good. You order at the counter and then take a number to your seat. The bakery looked divine too, but I stayed away from sweets and went savory. The French dip was really good tasting. Not overly toasted bread but toasted enough to dip in the au jus. The onion rings were large and crispy without tearing up the roof of your mouth. They really had a large seating area and the food was so good. I wish I would have gotten a dessert, but alas. It was a decently priced meal and worth every penny.

Flying Star Cafe improved a bit for this visit we had. We came for coffee in the morning and lunch. There were plenty of seats and outlets for us to do our work and it was the perfect vibe for working at a coffee shop but having good enough food to stick around later. WiFi was a little slow when it got super busy at the lunch rush but otherwise we had no problems!

counter service good, waitress service is like I am asking them to do me a favor. Food-wise asked for runjing eggs, twice, and got hard. Whi eats avo-toast without running eggs? I guess I do since I didn't want to ask a third time

My heart is broken... :( I was in such a good mood and thought I'd get some lunch here... something light. I'd never had their Soup & Salad so that sounded easy. The man who took my order, Alex or Alejandro, said they only had one soup, so no other choices, but it was the Calibacitas (squash) a vegetarian soup. I asked and he said it was good. When I got my order I saw a bright red bowl of super thick tomato concoction with tortilla strips on top. I tasted it and was shocked at how it tasted. But I tried a couple more tastes and I knew I could NOT eat this "slop!!" It was a very condensed super spicy tomato stew w a little squash in it. More like a thick picante dip. The couple next to me were surprised at it as well when I showed them. I took this back to the counter to the man I'd just ordered this from and told him it was "NOT edible!!" He seemed surprised, and offered No apology! I asked if I could get another soup like the Posole? He told me he'd have to charge me more money for it. Others at the counter heard all this. I was shocked! So he just rang me up a meal Refund and I left very upset. Others were shocked as well. I saw NO manager and Alex did NOT offer to get a manager. So I left planning NOT to return there. I've been going to this Flying Star in my neighborhood for years and now I don't think I will again. His Customer Service skills and ethics were lacking. I believe this management needs to do more Employee Training, Food Quality Control, and Improve Customer Service Skills especially with their much higher prices now. Sorry but, I was so upset that I did NOT take a pic of this "soup" which I normally do.

Seven years ago, I visited this location with my brother for the first time and loved it. His daughter recommended the place, as she has enjoyed many good meals here. Subsequently, my brother & I have met here each time I flew into town before CoVid. Today, 12/29/22, my first visit since 2019, my brother & I met here for a disappointing lunch. Husband ordered for the 3 of us. When his hamburger arrived at the table, it was not even warm. The onion rings were acceptable, but they were not hot. My brother's sandwich was somewhat warm, and he would've preferred the french fries to be hot. My French dip was OK. It was hot mostly because of the au jus. The fruit was the best thing about the meal. I liked the apple slices, orange slices, and strawberry. All in all, three meals were disappointing. My brother and Husband gave Flying Star 1 star each I gave them 3 stars. We will not be back.

I don't remember what it was called, but I got a slice of caramel toffee cake or something? Anyway, they warmed it up, and it was great. Lemonade was nice and sharp too.

Good food, priced similar to the Range, but as you're able to order at the counter, there are no hiccups with service.

We, like many others, ordered take out, but quite a few were dining in. The ordering was efficient, friendly, and 100% accurate even with 4 similar but different orders. We took two breakfast sandwiches: bacon, egg and cheese, one with cheddar cheese and green chile cheese bagel and one with pepper jack cheese and everything bagel. We loved both of them, and they are quite large. We were tempted to order the special on offer: Denver omelet on a bagel (peppers, onions, etc,), but that will be for next time. Everything is made to order and you can watch the large prep and cooking area while you wait. We also ordered two blueberry bagels, one with regular cream cheese and one with the special cream cheese which was lemon blueberry. Again, both very good, and the bagels were delicious. They also offer many different coffee drinks, and our cappuccino was tasty. Last, we took four bagels and some cream cheese to go. On this day vs yesterday,, order at two other coffee/bagel places, Horizon was 2-3 times faster. Horizon's service and wait time from order to delivery was less than ten minutes. We know this because we went to Horizon on Monday, but they are closed on Monday, so we had to resort to other places.

Service was great. Mimosa was a bit pricey but still good. Nice place to meet friends or for a date.

Overall: La Quiche Parisienne Bistro is a gem in Albuquerque serving up excellent French food…read more Food: 4.5 Pastries: The croissant had a crispy and flaky exterior. I just wish the inside was a little fluffier and layered. The pain au chocolate was excellent and had good chocolate inside of it. Quiche Champignon: I love that they make individual sized quiches instead of selling slices. I wish there was a little more mushroom but otherwise delicious. Chicken Salad Croissant: This was the unanimous favorite of the table. The chicken salad was creamy but wasn't too heavy because of the acidity. Frenchy: This French dip was simple and contained just roast beef and mustard. The baguette was crispy but not hard. Service: 4.5 Our sever was very patient with our requests. Food did not take too long to come out. My main gripe is that it took awhile to get seated but that is not the servers fault. It was just packed and they need more help! Ambiance: 5 The bistro is tucked inside an unassuming plaza. It is actually quite nice inside and is good for a casual brunch with friends.

While frequent hand washing is being practiced, the bakers dont wear gloves while pounding out the dough. I do so much in my own kitchen by feel that I can see the necessity of bare hands when folding and rolling pastry, but as there isn't a dedicated server/cashier, the lack of gloves made Raz a little nervous. On the other hand, the strudel is thoroughly worth nearly any risk, as I've never had one so good. I think the red berries were cherry, and I've no idea what went into the sweet cream, but I've been dreaming of it for a couple weeks. We tried to go back for more last Sunday, only to find that despite an internet posting of Sunday hours, Mas is closed on Sundays. I'm not thoroughly deterred, and I figure it's not too far out of the way of my daily commute that I might not be able to try for more strudel mid week...
