Lobo Taco makes me want to howl in delight. Yeah, I went there. Here is what I like, great tacos that keep the focus where it belongs: on the food. The location is easy to get to, with convenient street parking that makes popping in for a quick bite simple. I went with a mix: asada, barbacoa, and pollo taco. Each one held its own, but the common thread--the thing that really stood out--were the tortillas. Soft, rich, and perfectly done... honestly, "like butta." They elevate everything they hold. It's a great lunch spot--quick, flavorful, and easy. And it's already clear what's next on the list: coming back to try the breakfast burrito. Simple place, standout tacos, and tortillas you'll remember. read more

A must stop in Albuquerque! Location does have limited parking outside the facility but there is parking across the street, and behind the restaurant which is very much worth it. Order at the counter and take a seat, services brings your food to the table. Decided on the birria tacos with the consomé, accompanied with a single al pastor taco. The consomé was bursting with flavor and just added to the delicious birria taco. The al pastor was made to perfection with pineapples and sides of salsa. The environment is welcoming and generally can fit big groups of 5/6 which most tables can seat four but not a challenge to combine tables or seat side by side. The server provided me a great extra tip, suggesting I take the left over consomé and have Raman noodles added as a meal at home which I really appreciated. Can't wait to come back to Albuquerque and hit up this location again. read more

Okay so I have had my fair share of birria and al pastor tacos in my life between living here in Abq and growing up in LA. I found this little hole in the wall while looking for a quick place to eat while on lunch break. Let me tell you I have NEVER had better tacos in my entire life! The taco shells were perfectly crisped and the meat was so tender it melted in your mouth! This is by FAR the best taco place in Albuquerque. Hands down! I had 2 Al Pastor and 1 birria taco. The salsa was perfect too! Some places the salsa is waaaay too hot. Here it was just the perfect amount of heat. I will absolutely be going back to try more. It took about 15 minutes for my Togo order. If in the area of 4th street please try this place. You will not be disappointed!! read more

Lobo Taco - 2 Al Pastor and 1 Birria taco. - Tacos Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I got the Al Pastor tacos after seeing so many positive reviews of them. They were delicious! The sweetness of the pineapple shone through but balanced nicely with the pork meat. They gave plenty of sauce which I loved. I ordered to go since it was later in the night but there was lots of seating option inside. They got my order together fast in about 10-15 minutes. read more

Lobo Taco - Al Pastor tacos - Tacos Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

100% literally the best tacos and menudo in ABQ. Everything is fresh from the kitchen and every item I ordered (Asada, Carnitas, Menudo) was off the chain I HUGELY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE if your looking for a Taco Spot read more

This is a whole in the wall restaurant that you will find right off of a main road. There is limited street parking available within a reasonable walking distance from here. the have a small, but adequate dining area with a television that had soccer playing while I was there. The restaurant does not look like much from the outside, but looks are definitely deceiving in this case. The guy that was working there was the friendliest guy. He was very helpful, courteous, and patient. They have a somewhat small menu that consists of quesadillas, tacos, burritos and burgers. They also have a breakfast menu as well. I came here after seeing a picture of their La Mamalona Burger, so that it was I ordered. It came with fries. It took them about 15 minutes for them to prepare my meal. It was really good. It was fresh, hot and tasty. The burger was unique and tasty. The fries had perfect seasoning. It was a ton of food and I really enjoyed it. I am glad that I was able to check this place out and recommend that you do too. They have some very savory food, at very reasonable prices and first class service. read more

Great food. Al pastor and Birria tacos are excellent. Friendly staff and great service.

A new regular on the taco rotation for this foodie. I'd heard about Lobo Taco through a local food friend and I must say, you should go check them out the next time you're craving some cheesy, taco goodness. I specifically ordered three queso tacos al pastor and that was plenty of food for a solid dinner. My dinner companion ordered the birria taco with consume and she was very please with the flavor, stating that this was consume done correctly. The prices were reasonable and the service friendly. I could see parking being a bit tricky if they were much busier but we easily found street parking right infront. They didn't have cups for water so they ended up giving us bottled water complimentary and just overall were very kind. I will absolutely be back and I really want to try their chilaquiles. read more

The best birria in Albuquerque! This place doesn't look like much from the outside it's a typical hole in the wall. Where the ambiance is not high end but the food is absolutely delicious. The service is fast and they actually take the time to get to know you on a personal level! Truly can eat here everyday! Also try their chips and Salsa, they're hot and the cheese is like nachos read more

The birria tacos were so good! Next time im def bringing my hubby to taste the deliciousness! The service was awesome and very attentive!

I've been here several times and had an absolutely spectacular meal every single time. Every meal is crafted to perfection with quality ingredients, and you can tell they make everything with care. Friendly staff, fast service, reasonable prices. It's a win all the way around. While parking can be a bit tricky directly on fourth Street, navigate your way to behind the building for additional parking and less chance of getting run over :-) read more

I heard this place had good Tacos. It's in my neighborhood so thought I would give it a try. Sure am glad I did!!! Restaurant is located just south of Griegos on 4th Street on the east side of the street. (Don't blink or you'll miss it.) Much to my surprise, they were super busy! I ordered Chips and Salsa in addition to 2-Buche Tacos and 1-Barbacoa Taco. Service was so good and the food was delicious! $$ I'll be back for sure! read more

My favorite taco restaurant in ABQ! Does anyone know if they're still open? Today and yesterday we drove by and the metal shutters were down and no signage was up regarding closures :( read more

Found this place in yelp and decided to check it out. Best tacos we have had in a long long time. Was hoping for a taco Tuesday date night and this place filled the bill. Small place out of the way. Parking was bad. Had to park across the street but that doesn't matter. It was worth it. We will for sure be going back again and again. We also go the chips and salsa. The chips were perfect nice and hot freshly made. And all 3 salsas she brought out were fantastic. Not to hot. Just the right amount of bite to them. read more

Absolutely amazing tacos Al pastor. I have been in Albuquerque for the summer and one of my main goals was finding the superior Al pastor tacos in Albuquerque since it is my favorite type of tacos. I have tried multiple different places across Albuquerque, including various restaurants and taco trucks. These had to have been the best tacos Al Pastor that I have tried in Albuquerque. They were crispy and super tasty, none of the other places I tried were crispy like these which was a major factor I was looking for. Another very important part of the review was that they included pineapple in the tacos which is a hallmark of tacos Al pastor which some places in Albuquerque don't include. Also, not only did they include pineapple but they made sure it was grilled before adding them to the tacos. All things considered, I give the tacos Al Pastor a 10/10 and in my opinion the best in Albuquerque. Like another reviewer stated, the salsa was not super spicy but was good enough to just have a decent kick. A lot of other taco places I tried in Albuquerque have salsa that is way too spicy, that although good, leave my stomach hurting and my mouth burning too much. I would also advise others like another review said that if you are to come here to park at the bank next door since there is plenty parking at the bank but not really anywhere to park for the restaurant specifically. read more

Great tacos hot off the flattop. And the red chile is . Fill up for a super reasonable price.

Honestly, new favorite place in Albuquerque, this place is the best Mexican food here hands down. I'm from California and this reminds me of home, super flavorful. Can't wait to eat again. Good job guys. read more

Lobo Taco is one of my favorite restaurants! Located on Fourth street, there is minimal parking at the front. I like to park at the bank next door and walk in. This is a hidden gem! Inside is super open and clean. Going in on Sundays, the same hostess is working. She is definitely an asset to this business. She's fluent in both English and Spanish, and it very attentive and nice forsure. The food is great and I'm definitely a regular on the weekend for Menudo. read more

Wow! I love this place. Working man (woman) atmosphere. Good prices. Excellent food. Go Tuesdays for tacos.

My friend and I popped in for the bírria tacos and were absolutely blown away by the taste. A great little family owned spot.

Delicious birria tacos! We have not sat down at the restaurant but it seems like a small and cozy experience. The tacos are always tasty and the portions are excellent for the service. We even had them "cater" a birthday party and they were accommodating and communicated with us about price and what they could provide. Definitely one of my favorite places. read more

Small little restaurant with counter ordering. I had 3 tripas Tacos that were absolutely amazing. I have had tripas in more states and restaurants than I can count anymore and these have been my favorite so far because of the rich flavor they had. My husband ordered "La Mamalona Torta" which he thought was just ok. Food comes with 2 salsas one red and one green - both were good but not memorable. Service was fast and attentive. I would definitely come back for those tripas read more

Service was great!! They genuinely seemed to care. Was a good stop when passing through town!

Had been driving by this hole in the wall place for months and finally made it in. I had the Birria Tacos based on the positive reviews on Yelp and was not disappointed - it comes with an excellent soup and crispy cheesy tacos. I plan to go back many times. Friendly staff. Canned or bottled sodas available. Not a ton of seating but it's more spacious than it looks from the outside. read more

The food was bomb!! The service was nice helpful and friendly, it was also a really clean place. I had ordered the birria tacos and they were TO DIE FOR!! Definitely going back read more

Lobo Taco serves up fabulous Mexican food. Ordered the Birria Tacos. By far the best tacos I've ever had. Going back next week to check out some of their other menu items. read more

We tried this place because we're regularly in the area and saw a TikTok about it. HOLY MOLY am I ever glad we did! So, SO delicious! The cheese pull on my Birria was LONG from the taco in my mouth to the taco still in my hand. The consume was homemade and full of beef and fresh onions. We also got chips and salsa with queso and will get more chips next time. There was plenty in the basket, but next time I want to be able to put more in my broth before my kids eat them all. The lady asked if we wanted more, but I was too full. Next time, I'll power through! Honestly, we're probably going for breakfast tacos in the morning. We're all pumped about it too! read more

I was going to my normal taco joint for my fix of Birria Tacos and sadly they were closed. I was determined to find some. Cruising down 4th street I knew there had to be another spot. I actually almost passed Lobo Taco, I'm so glad I found this place. I ordered my Birria Tacos and I was not disappointed! I have gone back five times since and tried several different things on the menu. Chile cheese fries are amazing and the avocado salsa is a must add to your choice taco! This is my new favorite taco place. I send my friends and family here because I know they won't be disappointed and neither will you. Customer service is great too! Don't miss out on the Taco Tuesday specials, $1.50 tacos. read more

Oh my gosh! What a gem in the north valley! We decided to try it a while back and haven't been able to stay away since. Everything we have tried has been fabulous--fresh, flavorful, authentic and filling. Yum!! The service is great. Food comes out quickly. And I can practice my Spanish comprehension with the TV station that quietly plays above. The folks who own and run this place are wonderful, hard working folks! We feel so at home there. The space is clean but nothing fancy--just right for us since we grew up in the area. We'd give it 10 stars if we could. read more

The carne asada taco was the best taco I have ever ate! The birria taco was super good but I still have my favorite and it's on the Westside. read more

Food was amazing. Birria tacos... 10/10 would travel to Albuquerque from Washington just to have again

Great service, tasty food. Awesome family run restaurant, I have been here multiple times and plan to return frequently. Chilaquiles, birria tacos, and Al pastor tacos are my Go-to read more
