Today 5/1/26 I went to Golden Pride on Central NW, I ordered my usual #9 burrito and a drink…read more I was really hungry, looking forward to a #9.. I've been a loyal customer since the 80's. There are no words to describe how disappointed and how horrible that burrito was. 1. COLD 2. hash browns that I'm sure were sitting there since probably the morning ( I was there at 1:45pm) 3. cold pieces of random cheese ( not melted because the burrito was COLD) 4. bits and pieces of cold green chili. 5. eggs??.. cold and hardly any. 6. bits and pieces of cold bacon. the tortilla.. cold. The drink was fine. The lady at the window needs to slow down, she was pure nervous energy. I won't be back for a while, maybe I will try it again sometime in the future. Golden Pride was known for consistency and quality. Not sure what's wrong now (probably short staffed as most fast food places are) I never thought i would be writing this about Golden Pride.

As for the food, all I can say is THE RED CHILE is the BEST I have ever had, I'm serious! I long to know their recipe because it really is that good! This year for Christmas we got a quart of red chile and some tamales and they did not disappoint! I only learned of this place within the last year and I will definitely be back again and again! Seriously you have to try the red chile!!! #supportlocal

I say unusual because the food is a cut above what you would expect ...this place has live jazz on Tuesdays. It's fairly small but the food and coffee are fabulous. He made a bowl for me with pinto beans, organic squash, delicious pork, with some cheese on top. Very flavorful. The coffee was basically a cappuccino. Very good. On my way back I can't wait to try his ribeye steak and a world famous margarita. It says in here he tales credit cards but he doesn't. However he tales checks and cash. I didn't have any cash on me so I wrote him a check That's the first check I've written in a long time LOL I definitely recommend this place 100%

This is a hidden gem tucked away behind a ho hum non plain coffee shop…read more My husband is from Albuquerque. We are here twice a year. And never knew this was here. We took a stroll around old town Albuquerque. And decided to look at the menu at Church St Cafe. We decided to give it a try. The hostess walked us through a door into the restaurant, which went on forever with beautiful, cozy, quaint rooms filled with people that eventually led to a beautiful patio. We were in shock when we eventually sat down by a pond with waterfall. The decor was spot on with perfect New Mexico south west style. The server, Mico, was the best. Their red, green, and regular salsas were wonderful. We ordered a top shelf margarita and a spicy margarita. My top shelf margarita was the WORST margarita i have ever tasted. It cost $20.00 for a small gross tasting sweet margarita mix with no hint of resposado tequila or other ingredients that make it a top shelf drink. Mico was sweet and took it off our bill. She was curious and asked about why I told her it was the worst. I asked if the margarita had agave, Grand Marnier, Cointreau, lime juice, resposado tequila. (I add a little OJ and pineapple juice) Church st cafe has a license to only carry New Mexico brands of liquor. They do not have the ingredients to make a Top Shelf/ Cadillac Margarita. I wish we Wouid have know. I Wouid not have ordered a cocktail. Proper expectations make the experience better. The manager, Marie, spoke with us. She was very nice. She explained how they make it and their restraints with their liquor license. This cocktail could be made better and the price dropped. But after listening to Marie, it seems that "it is what it is" and will not be fixed. I hope they do try to make a better margarita to match the beauty of the space. The ambiance of this place is so cool. We will go back to try more of their food with no cocktail and sit in one of the cozy rooms.

The first was the roast beef dip with chili as the au jus and it was wonderful. The queso is also outstanding as is the salad with the cranberries--crisp, fresh and tasty. The fried ice cream is superb. The second meal was the Pueblo burger, which was a hamburger on fry bread. It was truly awful. The patty was gray and utterly tasteless. I think it was one of those frozen premade things. It leaked grease which made the fry bread soggy. The lettuce on it was butt end bitter romaine that was wilted and had turned slimy the longer it sat on the fry bread. I gave up on the whole thing pretty quickly. I suppose I could have raised a fuss and asked for something else but I just wasn't up to it. (I am here because my husband is in the VA hospital and I am pretty drained.) Had anyone at any time asked how it was, I would have told them. My advice is to have one of their excellent margaritas and enjoy the beautiful patio, and stay far, far away from any hamburger.
