    Little Madrid is a new addition to Sawmill Market! i like that they serve tapas/small plates (from appetizers to desserts) that you can try and/or share with your friends. We shared a 7 plates combo and I honestly thought the food was tasty! The portion was relatively small, but that's the whole point of small plates! I actually liked all the plates, but thought I really liked the basque cheesecake, both the paellas (New Mexico & Valencia) and what seemed to be like arancini (crunchy on the outside but seemed to have texture of paella inside). Well, pretty much everything tasted good! Prices weren't too outrageous I don't think..especially if you are sharing the plates with someone! I liked that they opened in Sawmill and hoped more people tried them (the people seemed to like getting their full-sized dishes from other shops)..but I'm hopeful they will discover the small plates tastiness that they have been missing at Little Madrid soon!

    My first visit to this establishment, Saturday afternoon the 17th, around 4 PM. It was not crowded at that time. This is a tapas style restaurant. Reminder: the portions are tapas size, so they are smaller than typical entrees. One orders at the central counter; then seating is either inside at marble topped counters, or outside. Staff was friendly, service was fast. Very nice natural lighting at this time of day. I had three things: Paella Mariscos, patatas brava, and shrimp and cod empanada. The paella was delicious and had just the right amount of saffron in the rice. The pieces of seafood were small, and tasty. The paella disappeared before I thought to photograph it. The patatas brava were perfect and had a nice subtle aioli covering. The empanadas are interesting and flavorful; I tried to capture the filling in the photos, so you get and idea of the blend of cod and shrimp with herbs. There is nearby as part of the ambience of Sawmill. Overall then a great experience; some tasty food in nice sized servings, and then some great music outdoors.

    This place was legit!! I love Spain and it just so happens to be that San Sebastián had the best tapas in my opinion and this place reminded me of there! (The French chef actually trained in San Sebastián) I feel for tapas it is way overpriced, but that seems to be a common problem with all the eateries inside Sawmill. With that said, I suppose it's cheaper than flying to Spain haha! The flavors were very Spanish - I loved the egg salad especially. The Paella is EXCELLENT and the wine really tastes like Spanish wine (which I feel like Spain keeps their best wine to themselves, so it was very nice to feel like I was transported back to Spain with my Rioja Reserva!) The anchovies were just a touch fishy, but the pulpo (octopus) was to die for!! I Definitely want to go back and have more paella and try one of their empanadillas. Little Madrid is a great addition to Sawmill!

    Ehhh is what I thought. The basque cheesecake is pretty good. The paella which I was most excited for didn't have much flavor. It was on the drier side. The potatoes and octopus were okay. Not great not bad. It is kind of pricey but it's not terribly pricey as a sawmill market restaurant. Just a bit small. The service was fine.

    A little bit of everything (see my other photos for names)

    Located in the trendy and hip, Sawmill Market location it is a great addition to the line up available there. They have a beautiful selection of paella, cheesecake and a wide variety of tapas. It's quick and fast order service. They even have wine options available. Check out my photos for what I had. It was $7 per small selection. I got 3 options and it was fun to try a little bit of everything. This would be more fun with a larger group to share next time. There was plenty of options. Service was great and friendly. If your an adventurous eater, I would definitely check them out. So many fun and unique options to choose from. There is some wall seating inside their space. I went at lunch and it was hard to find seating indoors. I was patient and snagged a seat after a little lingering. Next time, I'll tackle their special cheesecake. It looked delicious!

    Wonderful new place to eat in the Sawmill Market near Old Town. Spanish tapas and paellas are really tasty and displayed in a unique way: the daily selections are arrayed so you can see what you want, and then there is a set price for ordering 3 or 5 or7. Easy! Staff does a nice job of explaining each dish. The seating area is a counter and stools lining the big exterior windows. For beverages, there is a nice selection of wines (bottled water too), or many other options nearby in the market. Sawmill Market has nice parking. We loved our food and will be regulars.

You get to pick anything from their menu. We tried a fabulous orange colored wine and the special New mexican green chile wine. I'm not sure if I'd want a whole glass of that - but it was fun to try. My stomach was a little tired of green chile at this point. We had a fabulous time walking around the adjoining art gallery, sitting on the patio, strolling thru the gift shop. This is such a fabulous space.

    August 21, 2026 - Old Town, Albuquerque…read more We poked our heads in to ask about outdoor seating since we had our pup with us, and were greeted by a super friendly employee who pointed us toward the patio in front of the building. Dog-friendly seating? Off to a good start. We decided to do some wine tastings and share a charcuterie board. There was a different employee in this part of the winery. My husband mentioned that he couldn't have gluten and asked if there was a gluten-free alternative to the bread/crackers. Imagine my surprise when the board arrived with... tortilla chips. For a place that also specializes in gourmet foods, I was expecting something a little more exciting than chips. Gluten-free crackers, anyone? The wines were nice, and we really enjoyed sitting outside. The only other slight downer was the service. When I went inside for another tasting, I casually asked the server, "How's your day going?" His response: "I'm here." Well... I guess technically that answers the question. Clearly, he was having an off day. It happens, but you can't help but pick up on that energy when you're trying to relax and enjoy some wine. Overall, we had a nice time, enjoyed the patio with our pup, and even bought a bottle of Tighty Whitey White to take home. A couple of little misses, but nothing that would keep us from coming back.

    Hidden Gem in Nobhill Albuquerque…read more I recently visited the restaurant at Mission Winery and had a great experience from start to finish. To start, I ordered the sangria and the crab & artichoke dip. The sangria was on the sweeter side but not overwhelmingly so, making it easy to enjoy with the appetizer. The dip was delicious, creamy, and packed with flavor, although I honestly couldn't taste much artichoke. It was still a great starter, especially paired with the bread. For dinner, I ordered the red chile fried chicken bites with fries. The chicken was the standout of the meal--crispy, flavorful, and coated in a delicious red chile sauce that had just the right amount of kick. The fries were perfectly cooked and paired well with the ketchup. My friend shared the appetizer with me and ordered the Chicken Caesar Salad, which she enjoyed alongside one of the wine tasting flights. The real surprise of the evening came after dinner. Our host handed us a card with a password to access the speakeasy downstairs. If you visit Mission Winery, don't skip this part. The speakeasy had a completely different atmosphere from the restaurant above and quickly became the highlight of the night. The space feels intimate, sophisticated, and thoughtfully designed, with dark wood accents, comfortable seating, and a stylish lounge vibe. My friend and I both ordered espresso martinis, and they were fantastic. The presentation alone was impressive--the unique glassware was chilled and helped keep the cocktail cold longer, allowing us to enjoy it at a relaxed pace. Between the excellent food, wine, creative cocktails, and the hidden speakeasy experience, Mission Winery offers much more than just a typical dinner out. The restaurant was great, but the speakeasy downstairs is what will have me coming back. Recommendation: Start with dinner upstairs, then ask about the speakeasy password and finish your evening downstairs with an espresso martini. It's one of the coolest date night or girls' night experiences I've found in Albuquerque.

The ambiance was exquisite despite the somewhat loud noise level. The decor and the service were both top notch. Our server Sergio went above and beyond the call of duty. He made our anniversary even more special with a free dessert, a coupon for a free wine flight on our next visit and a hand written list of recommended local attractions and eateries. And then there is the food. The potsticker appetizer was pleasing to both the eye and palate. I had the meatloaf entree which was delicious. And my husband loved the beef bourguignon. And the crème brûlée we had for dessert was delightfully creamy underneath a beautiful gold crust.

Waitress immediately came over and took our drink orders and was super friendly. We started with the Chorizo Rellenos which were absolutely amazing. I don't think I've had a better appetizer than this before honestly. The downfall was the entrees unfortunately. I'll start with hubby's dish which was the Shrimp Scampi. He took one bite and looked so discouraged so he asked me to taste it. All I could taste on that first bite was an overwhelming amount of Garlic. We love garlic but this was either burnt or saturated... It was bloody awful and inedible. My green chile chicken was no better but after insisting to hubby to ask for another dish I just kept eating mine while he waited for a hamburger. My dish had no flavor at all. I added salt after salt after salt and nothing could revive this dish. After all that salt my feet literally swelled up on the drive home but that's another issue. My poor hubby waited and waited while I ate and his burger never came. After 20 minutes he got mad and decided to pay - while paying his burger finally came out but he was too upset to eat so we just paid and left. Unfortunately I was not able to get a better experience on this visit

We had originally…read moretried to go up to to the rooftop bar (Level 5) at the newly opened Hotel Chaco, but we were told it was completely booked up there (tip: make a reservation in advance if you're looking to check out the rooftop). The very friendly hotel staff pointed us to Crafted NM instead, which is Hotel Chaco's ground-level bar. We weren't sure if we would be able to get in last minute, but we lucked out! Alec greeted us right away and set us up in a gorgeous corner of the patio. From there, the evening just got better and better. The menu at Crafted is AMAZING. There are a ton of local wines and you can opt to do a flight if you're curious. I did a port flight and loved it. I don't often see this on menus so it was a welcome surprise. Each pour in the flight was delicious and I loved getting to sample some local products. My fiancé got a glass of red from local winery Gruet, and later found out from Alec that it was a special, limited-edition wine from a partnership between Gruet and Crafted. Apparently you can't find it in stores, so this is the place to come for it! Separately, the food menu looked delicious but we held back since we were on our way to dinner (but in hindsight, should have gotten a snack). The gougères on the menu looked particularly appetizing!
