I love this restaurant The food is fantastic. Always,a great meal. I've had shrimp tacos, skewers, pinto beans. Service is wonderful. Friendly and helpful. Tonight was no exception. 3cof us we went towards a table with 2 chairs. It was on the quiter side. They put 2 tables together moved chairs around made sure we were comfortable. I ordered a margarita but didn't read description. Too spicy I returned it saying my mistake. They took it off bill. This place is 5 star service 5 star food And in my neighborhood read more

Tried again to go have a drink and some appetizers here. Quesadilla was ok, much better at other places. Was not crispy, cubed chicken inside was dry, was hoping for some guac but only came with some tomato tasting salsa. Here's the thing for the nachos. The ingredients individually were good, you can tell it's quality. However all together the flavors did not mesh well. Had queso, shredded cheese and Cojita. The asada was tender and good but the red sauce they make and put on top was not very good. Can't say I'll be rushing back anytime soon. Especially for the cost. But is a cool place to hang out at the bar for a drink. read more

Fuego 505 - Quesadilla and nachos - Tacos Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This is my friends consistent weekly hang since on Mondays they offer $4 draft beers so I decided to tag along and see what they had to offer! The draft selection had a nice mix of local favorites and big brand staples. We sat at the bar and the bartender did a good job of taking care of us while also making a plethora of drinks on a busy Monday. The food came out quick and I really enjoyed my tacos! The pork belly on the pork belly mac and cheese taco was a bit tough but still tasty. The quesadilla tacos were my absolute favorite and I Will be going back for those! read more

We settled into Fuego 505 for a late lunch.. We shared a nicely seasoned "Rotisserie Chicken Taco" and a surprisingly creamy tasty fried "Avocado Taco". With a side of scrumptous "Elote Corn". We both washed it down with bottles of Blue Moon Lager w. a slice of orange. Service and grub were spot on for this culinary pub..:) And I'll see you, my friend Over and over again Who can we get on the case?

Really 4.5 stars. A nice sports bar with good music that wasn't too loud. Good service and good recommendations from the waitress. I got the Verde Burger minus the green chili and minus the onions. They didn't take the onions off so about half of my burger tasted so strong like raw onions which I absolutely LOATHE. However the parts that hadn't touched the onions were delicious. Also the fries were so good! And to be fair the manager asked me as we were leaving if everything was all right and when I explained the onion situation, he said I should have told him and he would have fixed it. So it's my fault for not saying something. And my fault for being so disgusted by raw onions. read more

I tried fuego 505 by using a New Mexico restaurants gift card and it was something I didn't heavily research how I usually do but I was pleasantly surprised. The birria tacos were really good. And the nachos were great too. The service and speed of receiving the food was good and the food quality was on par. I took the food to go but wish I ate inside. I'd like to eat there sometime I loved the industrial vibe on the inside. read more

Ok, this place has become a regular stop for us. I've had the green chile cheeseburger (and upgraded the fries to queso fries), most of the tacos, the nachos, quesadillas, and probably more. Everything is tasty and perfectly prepared. My favorite is probably the shrimp taco. I'm a huge fan of fish tacos, but the spicy Thai chili really gives the shrimp a punch that hits right. The barrio tacos are a close second, and their queso is some of my favorite in town. Some nights it's super busy and hard to get a table, but I rarely mind waiting. It can be a bit loud when there's a game on, but the overall vibe is easygoing and a great place to meet friends for dinner. Looking forward to trying a weekend breakfast, though! Looks amazing. read more

We live nearby and go in every few months or so. Music is usually too loud and I love music. The service was very rough last time we went (music was low, nice) and honestly slow whenever we go...ordered a beer, I think she forgot us. We saw her hanging out with a group of workers laughing...cool, but not cool for me. I had to ask another passing worker to help me out with my order. Brew came quick, but my original waiter never checked on us again until it was tip time. I am not certain I w be back. read more

Ordered the carne asada tacos to go. Staff was friendly and they even gave me the queso cheese sauce in a separate container so thew wouldn't get soggy. So far these are the most delicious nachos ive been able to find in town! Definitely existed to go back and eat in to try their drinks and all the other food that smelled amazing when i went to pick up my order. read more

Love this place. Food is great, service is super friendly, and it's an enjoyable spot. I particularly like their spin on posole, which is VERY hot; their green chile smashburger; the innovative tacos (including one with pork belly); and the exotic meats on the menu are excellent. Beer selection is terrific, too. No idea how this place has a rating lower than four stars on Yelp; it's one of the best restaurants in Westside Albuquerque. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere. Thursday trivia night was fun ,nice crowd. We will definitely be back

We stopped by on a Sunday morning for brunch and were pleasantly surprised to find a happy hour special with $5 mimosas. Yes please! I went for the mimosas (of course) and my hubby ordered the old fashioned. We both enjoyed our drinks. To start we shared the queso and chips and I loved how fresh it was with crispy chips! Then we split an order of the barrio tacos and some carnitas tacos. The flavors were spot on and the portions were just right. Service was friendly and attentive but not overbearing. They also have a nice outdoor patio. If it wasn't so hour outside we definitely would have sat out there. read more

Place was kind of chaotic... had a line out the door.. I'm not sure why... plenty of empty tables and we were told to seat ourselves. Maybe people were waiting to be seated? Anyways server found us quickly enough. Ordered the nachos as an appetizer and a few tacos each as our meals. The nachos came out with the tacos. Everything was lukewarm to cold. Nothing was hot. read more

One of our favorite breakfast spots! Dinner is awesome too! We love the fajitas, made to order chicken wings as well as the barrio burrito, breakfast sandwich and churro french toast! Avocado toast is great as well. Most of all, the Sunday bartender is AMAZING! She is kind, attentive, prompt and makes a heck of a drink everytime! The cooks and all staff are equally as amazing. Our go to spot... Great place to watch football and love that they are open early on the weekend for breakfast! read more

This review is for the Carne Adovada Fries. Since Fuego doesn't offer green chile cheese fries, I still want to include them in my list as they are very tasty! The adovada is a bit runny, so the fries on the bottom of the stack get soggy by the end. However, fries are cooked perfectly, the adovada tasty. The crema and queso add to the flavors and the whole thing is topped off with fresh jalapeño pieces. The only difference I'd like would be real cheese. I give these 4.5 stars worth the trip. The plate is large enough to share but nobody likes a quitter so finish them! read more

I have been wanting to try this place out and it did not disappoint!!! It was a great little spot, loud, crowded, but did have outdoor seating which was great! The service was excellent!! Quick but not too fast, checked on us often, very nice! The fuego margarita was delicious!!! A little small but with huge taste! Not too spicy but just delicious!!! The fajitas were huge portions!!! Was not a fan of the rice, beans are phenomenal! Now the fajitas were A LOT!! So much meat!!! I loved the chicken!! I was not a fan of the beef, but I do not eat a lot of beef. My partner thought the beef was fantastic! Can't wait to try more of the menu!! read more

It was our first time trying out this place. We always see it and have been wanting to try it for a while now. Glad we were able to get that chance. Just know that parking is scarce here. There was construction going on around the area of this restaurant at the time we visited. The evening we visited they were packed, but thankfully we were able to find a seat in the corner. Most of the people there were watching the baseball game. So that is probably why it was so packed. We were not served right away, but that was okay. They were busy. Lacee was our waitress who helped us get settled in. She took our drink orders and gave us some time to look at the menu. The menu was pretty elaborate and they had a lot to offer. The drink menu was pretty good too, they had many to choose from. We decided to start off with the ceviche, that was pretty good. Served with freshly made tortillas chips. Yummy! We enjoyed that. Then for dinner, we shared some tacos; fish, avocado and carne asada. All three tacos were delicious and full of flavor. We enjoyed them. I decided to try the fuego plate with carne adovado, which was served with the calabacitas. It was a little on the spicy side for me, but I was able to enjoy it all. Again, our waitress Lacee was great! She made sure we had drink refills and took great care of us. Overall, the food and the dining experience was good. We will definitely be back to try it again. Thank you! read more

Horrible service. Couldn't hear my self think. The music was at such a high level I was about damn near gonna have a stroke. Holy sht. I'm good on ever going back to this stuck up self centered place. NO THANKS! Hey but the food was good , I'll give it that. No place should ever make their customers feel WRONG for going there. Do better with hiring some people that actually give a fk. Deuces. read more

Stopped by here for a date night with my husband. The place was busy but we got sat quickly! Our server was super efficient and friendly. He saw us watching a sports event on our phone and tried to get it onto the tv right in front of us, he didn't get it as I don't think he had the channel we were watching on but the thought and effort was there. Loved the food and will definitely be back! read more

I visited Fuego505 on November 26, the night before Thanksgiving. From the beginning, the service was already disappointing. The server took nearly 10 minutes just to get our skewer order correct, and then later came back to tell us that the skewer grill had actually closed at 9 PM, meaning the item could not be made at all. This could have been communicated upfront and would have saved everyone time. Despite this, and despite the unprofessional service, I still left a 20% tip when we finished our meal around 10:45 PM. Shortly afterward, I realized I had accidentally left my credit card behind. I immediately drove back and arrived at the restaurant around 11:20 PM while the staff and the manager were still inside after closing. What happened next was extremely disappointing: * The same server who had just served me less than 30 minutes earlier seemed to have "no memory" of me or the card, even though I had just tipped him. * When I tried to walk inside to check my table (Table 6), the manager stood at the doorway and did not allow me to step inside, even though the lights were on and employees were still present. * The "search" they did was only a very quick glance -- not a genuine effort to look for the card. * The manager told me to "come back tomorrow," even though November 27 was Thanksgiving, which is clearly not a reasonable solution for a lost credit card. * When I requested a contact number in case the card was found, the manager provided the number listed on their website. However, it turned out to be a bad number. * I called it in front of him and it did not work. He tried calling it himself, and it also failed. * Even after confirming the number was non-functional, he gave no alternative phone number, and did not take my contact information. Because no real assistance or follow-up option was provided, I was forced to cancel my card immediately. This entire experience -- from unprofessional service during dinner, to the refusal to help afterward, to providing a non-working phone number -- was extremely disappointing. I hope the management seriously reviews its customer service standards and internal procedures. read more

A nice take on traditional New Mexican fare! After a few visits and a few meals, I'm loving the little things that make Fuego 505 different. It's a simple menu with apps, tacos, meats, sides... but then you have things like daily specials (Thursdays are my favorite for the Barrio tacos & ramen), a lobster roll, and exotic meats like elk, rabbit and duck. Then there's the little, little details that you don't see at other NM spots like calabacitas, elote, scalloped potatoes, and fried egg toppings. Everything I've had so far has been great and that includes the service. The drink selection is very nice with lots of beers tap, they're open late and when you're done you can just cash out with a QR code. If I had any advice it would be to go a little early or later to minimize your wait and take a sweater because it can get chilly. Or, just pick a seat by the window in that hot sun. read more

This place is so good. The drink menu is awesome and they make the best espresso martini. I hear the Amaretto Mule is fantastic too. They have beer on top, lots of wine and liquor options too. Now let's get to the food. Right now during the cold weather they have posole and let me tell you, it's so darn delicious. I'm one of those people who can generally only eat this once a year but so far I've had it 3 times and bought 2 quarts for Christmas. Their Fuego plate/used to be bowl is so good. Their queso and homemade chips and their salsa is great when I go in just for a cocktail/beer and a light snack. The scalloped potatoes are amazing, their tacos are plentiful and not small. The fried avocado one is my favorite. I've tried lots and have never been disappointed. Their carne adovada breakfast tacos are great too. So many yummy options. The staff is awesome. You're greeted as soon as you walk in. You're never waiting long to be served, they pay attention to everyone with a smile. They're never just standing around either which I appreciate. If you've never been, you need to give them a try. Some may think it's a little expensive at times but I don't think so, plus I'm getting a great quality meal from a local restaurant. They have lots of seating and a great long bar. In the summer, they offer outdoor seating too. Now go give it a try! read more

Great food! The best lobster rolls I have had outside of Boston! And the service is always friendly and welcoming.

Ordered the a la verde burger and lobster roll. Both were delish. The lobster roll has an Asian twist. Lots of lobster meat. Liked it a lot more than Slapfish. More flavor and more meat. The burger came with crispy fries- hands down best fries I've had in Albuquerque. Good music, great vibes. I do wish the staff were a bit more attentive at cleaning tables and hygiene could use some improvement. But in their defense, it was Saturday evening and really busy. The wait for food was also bit long. We've been before and had the birria tacos which were also tasty. But all in all, great experience. read more

My wife and I were waiting for our daughter to finish a job she was doing in the area. She was delayed, so we decided to find some local place to eat. We discovered Fuego 505 and boy what a FIND! The atmosphere is great, the staff are very friendly and the food is to die for! I have their Barrios Tacos, which I've heard of before. Honestly, I think this may be the best tacos I've ever eaten. I scarfed down two, before I realized I should go slower and enjoy them even more. My wife choose the Chef Choice Special tacos. She got a sampling of three tacos. We got to talk with one of the owners. He showed me some Bourbon which I will try next time I am there. This place is worth going back to!! I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

Great spot with lots of space and large patios. Good service too! The portions were big especially for the fajitas! The meat tasted kind of game-y for some reason even though I ordered steak/beef. I don't like that flavor so that's why it's not 5 stars. The beans were sooooo delicious, very flavorful and juicy. The rice was also really good as well as the dipping crema sauce. The tortillas were fresh and soft, very demure. Would come back just because you get 3 meals out of one order. The pretzel was also yummy! read more

We ordered the chips, salsa and queso. The salsa did not have too much heat but man the queso was sooooo good! We will definitely skip the salsa and just get that next time. We also ordered carne asada tacos and green chile stew. Both were really good and had good flavor. If you haven't had a chance to try this place, you should! read more
