I found this Mexican restaurant called Mariscos Altamar, which was about half a mile from my hotel, the La Quinta hotel suites. I did not want to walk far or call an Uber for such short distance. Plus, it was raining. And so, I decided to come here for lunch after a rainy morning that lingered into the afternoon that day in November 2024. It was a Monday of course. But I was on vacation in Albuquerque, so I tried to find something authentic and something interesting for me to have for lunch. But that said, I came here around 12:45 PM and the place was not really crowded, so I got a table almost immediately. My entire experience was about one hour or so. I ended up getting two strawberry margaritas, during that time I was like why not. I looked at the menu, which was pretty expensive and extensive. What caught my eye was the oysters. I ended up having that just to try. For my main entrée I got the Carne Asada tacos. The entire tab was close to $60 if not more. At the time I didn't care. I was on vacation. The vibe here was interesting and the ambience was quite enough to where I could just enjoy the mood of the day here at this restaurant. Not sure if they have Wi-Fi here but it is what it is. I enjoyed myself for about an hour eating my way through the oysters and the Carne Asada. The oysters Was pretty good actually. It never gave me an adverse reaction after the meal, which was so good. Thank you to the people who cooked and prepare the oysters. It was definitely a welcome treat while on vacation. Also the margaritas as well, those are tasty. The overall experience here at Mariscos Altamar Mexican restaurant was good and uneventful. It would have been better with someone I know accompanying me for lunch, but that's moot now. I myself enjoying the Carne Asada tacos. Although the margaritas were top notch, it blended well with the oysters. The restaurant itself was clean, and the staff was very friendly and got the order to me within 20 minutes after ordering. Even the decor of the restaurant was kind of festive. They had paintings and other Mexican themed items on display. The good news is that they have also a restroom. I actually used it before and after the meal, which was good. For the most part, it was a good lunch for sure. I may have gone a little overboard with the alcohol, but it was definitely in the moment kind of thinking, and the check clearly showed it. And so, if you're ever in the area of Albuquerque, New Mexico near the airport, and crave authentic Mexican food, or just maybe a few rounds of margaritas, consider coming to this rocket spot at any time of the day. They will be glad to have you for sure. It's too bad that I had to leave, or else I would have or more margaritas and just be flatline for the rest of the day. Thankfully, I stopped lol. I'm sure this place is a hidden gem especially on Friday and Saturday nights. Mariscos Altamar authentic Mexican restaurant is located at 1517 Coors Blvd NW, near the Albuquerque Sunport. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. As far as parking goes, they have a generous parking option for you all who drive. If you're like me, best bet is to find Albuquerque's public transportation system, and see which bus routes are applicable to your situation. As for me, though, I ended up walking half a mile from the La Quinta in hotel and suites, which I was staying the night before my experience. After my lunch experience, I took an Uber out of the area. I decided then to spend the afternoon at the New Mexico Natural History museum in E Albuquerque. Pretty cool after having 2 strawberry margaritas in you to partake in some history and culture of New Mexico! With that said, if you love Mexican cuisine or margaritas, swing on by, they would love to have you. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. I don't care about prices. Good food and alcohol. On vacation. Support local! A+ read more

Outstanding tamales, tacos and ceviche. Great wait staff, very enjoyable place to eat.

We were staying in a hotel within walking distance to this restaurant and it was a Tuesday so we hoped they would have some Taco Tuesday specials but they DO NOT. We ordered the house margarita which was good and then shared the Flautas Combo from the appetizer menu. I cannot eat flour tortillas so I ate the taquitos and my husband ate the chimichangas. It was enough food for the two of us. I am used to having white meat chicken in taquitos and this is dark meat. I thought it was going to be ok but as you know when eating dark meat chicken, it's possible to get a piece of tendon or cartilage which I did. And which bothers me so I'm glad it was my last taquito. Our server was very nice, the place is clean & nicely decorated. read more

The flamed oysters were ok but not quite what I was hoping. They needed more flame. The cheese on top was barely melted. The el Diablo sauce needed help from a hefty dose of hot sauce to live up to its name. The place was pleasant, service good and friendly. I will come back and try other items in the large menu. read more

Driving though this area on our way to Fort Worth, we decided to stop for a late night dinner. So happy we did.

After a couple days in Albuquerque, I needed a green chile fix before returning home. Yelp led me to Mariscos and it was pretty good. The green chili pork had great flavor. The meat itself was pretty tough and grisly. The refried beans were some of the best I have ever had. The service was friendly and fast and the prices were pretty cheap. The neighborhood is pretty rough. I would not take my wife or kids here especially at night. Homelessness and drugs up are nearby this location. read more

Their drinks are good. The ceviche nachos are nah. Ambience js good. Feels like a traditional restaurant but food is meh.

We hadn't eaten here in quite awhile so with some friends in town we decided to stop here for a change of pace. The parking lot was full, but it's a small parking lot next to the buildings. It was busy, but we were seated right away. Drinks and Queso Fundido with chorizo were ordered for starters. For entrees it was Shrimp/Crab Chimichanga and the Taquitos. The queso came out thick with plenty of chips. It had good taste but skimpy on the chorizo. After a long wait our food was delivered. The chimichanga came lightly fried vs the usual crispy wrapping. The crab & shrimp There was plenty of guac and sour cream. The beans were smothered by cheese. The taquitos were deep fried crispy. The chicken was dry in spots. Again these came with ample amounts of guac & sour cream and cheese covered beans. Our server rounded frequently which helped keep our drink glasses full. Delicious food + excellent service = great meal read more

Always so many tasty options but I tend to always pick my favorites! I enjoyed the ceviche mixed seafood tostada with a small order of shrimp cocktail and a delicious cold michelada. Service is always nice and prompt. We were seated immediately, no wait. The restaurant was full and busy but it's nice that there are several dining room areas or the bar to have many seating options. My friend had the seafood caldo, it looked delicious and I'll definitely have to try it next time. read more

Mariscos Altamar - Steak Ranvhero - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Started with the chips and salsa and cheese dip. I found both salsas a little spicy for my taste (I'm a gringo from NYC), but the cheese dip was delicious - creamy, complex, satisfying. I had crab and shrimp enchiladas with green sauce for my entree. Outstanding. Incredibly flavorful and fresh. Service was attentive and efficient. Not lacking in any way. Restaurant was full, but didn't feel crowded. Would definitely recommend! read more

This place has really gone downhill. This used to be one of our favorite restaurants for seafood. The mojarra was our favorite. Now their mojarra is over fried. I mean really over fried. Fried to the point where there is little white meat. It's like they're making fish chicarrones. It's dry, hard and basically not edible. My wife had flautas which had little meat and were about 50% hollow. Both of our dishes came out cold And now they charge for chips and salsa which used to be complimentary. Needless to say , we won't be returning. read more

This place is crazy busy, but it is well worth the wait. Taco's are so good and so were the tamales. I will definitely be back.

The atmosphere was great. Our server Sylvia was amazing and our food was delicious! Highly recommended

Paco gave fast and efficient service. I told him I did not want to drive to my hotel after dark and he understood. We discussed the local homeless issue while he delivered my wine and salsa/chips. They had a problem with people camping on the property but the police cleaned them out and it is now business as usual. I had shrimp enchiladas in green sauce. I really liked the green salsa and the beans were delicious. The meal was good and came out impressively quick. As promised, I was fed and paid before dark (within 40 minutes). read more

Mariscos Altamar - A quick welcoming appetizer. I ordered some guacamole. Both salsas were tasty. The wine came out really fast. - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

This place is fun. Rattan chairs and nautical decorations (ropes, anchors, etc) combined with sombreros on the wall, make for a fun, south of the border, island atmosphere. The service was excellent. Our waiter was so funny and attentive. He even hung up my coat on their coat rack! He made jokes, and was kind and efficient. The staff gave the place a very friendly vibe. The food was pretty good. I wouldn't say it was fantastic, but nothing was bad. My dining companions all really seemed to like their food, so maybe I just didn't order right. I will definitely go back and try again because it was such a fun place. The guacamole was good, and my friends seemed to love their nachos, so maybe that's the way to go! They have huge cocktails that I was worried might be sugary and awful, but were actually pretty tasty. The one I ordered said it had fresh coconut in it, and I think it actually did! My friend loved her bowl drink. Their beer selection is mostly Mexican options, and they have a few local beers, too. Overall, this was a fun place to spend an evening with friends. read more
