This is a cute little cafe, in the downtown area. Food is pleasant, like homemade in mom's kitchen. This is counter service. Food is made to order. Nothing fancy, just right for satisfying the midday hunger. Staff are cordial. Dishware is a combination of ceramic and plastic utensils. Price point quite reasonable. read more

I had a really great time at My mom's. I ordered their carnitas tacos and lemonade. You order at the counter and the person who took my order was so warm and sweet! It got busy while I was there so it's a popular spot. Really cute ambiance! Would recommend for a quick bite. read more

I won't forget the surprising juxtapositions of the Bowl of Love, or the friendly vibes, including when my internal monologue about decoding restaurant menus went external. The red chile is a standout on its own; there's heat but much more than that. The Bowl of Love in which it appears is a structural wonder. Not sure how they do it but presumably science is involved. The other components - fideo, beans and squash - should be sampled on their own at first but at some point blending is inevitable. This is the kind of place where I perhaps spend too long staring at everyone else's plates. read more

I had breakfast at My Mom's after stumbling across it on Yelp. The fact that it was only a few blocks from the hotel was an added bonus. I walked in looking to be seated, not realizing right away that you order at the counter first. The cashier was nice and helpful. I came in carrying a bottle of water--after paying, I realized he'd charged me for it. Instead of making a fuss, I just grabbed a cold one from the beverage cooler and rolled with it. It took about 15 minutes before my name was called to pick up my order. I went with the pancake breakfast--three pancakes with fruit, an egg, and your choice of meat (bacon, ham, or...bologna--which feels like a bold, questionable life choice, but I digress). The food was good except it wasn't hot--more like lukewarm-ish. That surprised me since I grabbed it right when my name was called. Maybe it sat while my colleague's order caught up? Who knows. Overall: good atmosphere, decent food. Walking out, tho, my immediate thought was wondering why My Mom's ranks so high in Yelp recommendations. It wasn't bad by any stretch--but it also wasn't memorable or somewhere I'd revisit on another trip to ALBQ. read more

They are located in the ground floor of office building right across from police station. They did a great job decorating the place and you can pick your table based on which flower painting you like. Food was spot on. Would happily revisit them to try more. We had breakfast. read more

After judging a goat show for the Bernalillo county 4H we decided to try My Moms for brunch. We have wanted to try it for a while. We were greeted right away by a real nice lady and told to look at a menu before ordering at the counter. Lunch started at 10:45 and we were a little early for it, but wanted to try the breakfast. My husband ordered the Big mama biscuit with sausage. It had a green chile gravy that had a tasty flavor. It was not spicy but but he said it was delicious. I ordered the Huevona's Rancheras with red chile. Mine was very flavorful but not spicy at all. We will definetly be back. Prices were very reasonable. read more

Just click on the following YouTube link and see why the VA creative writing group continues to find terrific restaurants like My Moms in the Albuquerque area. https://youtu.be/rYLgLXZOh38?si=ydyMSrnzI069BVN read more

My first visit to this establishment was on May 27, 2025. Is it a nice location downtown with adequate nearby on street parking. The outside signage is a little bit subtle, and you may have a hard time finding it on your first visit. But once you find it, you'll be glad you did and you will be back. I guarantee it. The staff is friendly and accommodating. There's good natural light. The decor is colorful and interesting with lots of creative painting on the table tops. The menu features comfort food with lots of nice choices. I had a tuna salad sandwich and my friend had green chili stew. The sandwich was absolutely delightful. Soft bread with a nice taste to the tuna itself. Prices are very reasonable. read more

First time in New Mexico? Then there's a simple stop for you to make to get all you need from local cuisine. My Mom's does everything right: the service was kind and quick, the reputation is amazing and the food was very local and authentic. The Green Chile in the bowl was some of the best I've had and the enchilada dish was very cool, lots of flavor with the egg being a nice touch. The owner, Carla was working inside and greeted everyone that came in, many on a first name basis. People of all sorts came in while I was sitting down and I thought that was great, this really seems to be a spot that is loved in this city. read more

Absolutely one of my favorite lunch spots downtown, it can be a little hard to find but definitely worth it. They have a great selection of different sandwiches and breakfast offerings. My go to is definitely the Ruben which is a favorite from back in the day when they had a different restaurant. In addition to the more savory bites, they always have a good selection of baked goods. Usually just a cake or two, but they're always great. read more

Must try the green chile biscuits and gravy! It's close walking distance from Double Tree Hotel.

New place in downtown Albuquerque just opened in 2022. Hard to find unless you are looking for it. At the bottom of an office building, with no big signage. Big open area with large windows floor to ceiling. You order at the counter, paying for the meal, and tipping, ahead of time. Customer picks up the utensils, gets plastic cup for filling with water and ice, and come back to the counter to get their plates of food. Wife's $10.50 red enchilada was a big portion of cheese enchilada covered with red chili sauce, and an egg. Passed with flying colors, something not easy considering she lived in Santa Fe for 18 years. My $10 lazy tacos came with ground beef, shredded cheese, and red chili sauce. Very spicy. Like a beef patty cut into half for each of the two tacos. The tortilla was fabulous in texture and taste. After you are done, you have to bus your trays. The only thing they don't have you do is wipe off the table with a cleaning cloth, which is the only thing done by the waiter. 20% tip to wipe off the table? read more

We found it! After a couple of trips downtown we figured out where it is. Of course the recent window sign painting helped. Lunch rush in progress but not so busy that we had to wait to sit. Order at the counter - NM Patty Melt for me and the Flauta Plate for the Mrs. The Patty Melt was tasty, plenty of cheese, onions & green chile. The Flautas came 4 to the plate. It was topped with pico de gallo, crema, salsa & guac on the side. It was equally tasty. Both registered on the moderate side of heat. The flautas a little more so. Prices were reasonable about $11 each. Parking is an adventure. It's downtown so when you find it it's either metered or private lot. If you end up in the downtown area this would be a good place for lunch(or breakfast) read more

I've been meaning to visit My Mom's for a little while. The timing finally worked out and I'm really glad. We were greeted as soon as we walked in by all-star chef and owner Marie and handed menus. After some deliberation, I chose Chata's Chicken Fried Chicken and dh got the New Mexico Patty Melt. They were out of fries so we were offered fideo as a substitute. My goodness, what delicious food. My sandwich was amazing - super flavorful chicken fried chicken breast covered in a fantastic green chile milk gravy on two slices of sourdough. This is definitely a knife-and-fork meal, and it almost doesn't need the top slice of bread. The chile had a little bit of a kick, but thankfully it wasn't so hot that I couldn't eat it. My husband really enjoyed his patty melt, topped with cheese, caramelized onions, and green chile. I enjoyed my bite and would be happy to order it again. And that fideo, wow. Pure comfort in a bowl. We both think it's the best we've had in town. Take some time from your busy weekday and head downtown for some fabulous food at My Mom's! read more

Gourmet food carefully prepared. Everything I have tried has been top ten in my dining experience.

I ate here for breakfast. Their smothered burrito was fantastic. The service was fast and good. The food was served on plates like my grandmother would have used. I just wish that they had decaffeinated coffee. read more

I had grand jury duty this past Thursday and needed a spot for lunch nearby. I walked to My Mom's. First of all, great name. The service was so welcoming. The person behind the register was friendly and helpful. I asked what they recommended and they said their favorite was the red chili enchilada. Over the years I'm enjoying red chili more than green so I went with that and an over east egg. The chili was spicy but a good amount of spice. It was a flavorful dish and I ate most of it and I didn't suffer from too much spice. I also had a slice of the coconut cake! Wow! It was tasty!! The cake was moist and the frosting was excellent! Super yummy! The spot is on the corner downtown and I sat at the slanted window and had a pretty view of downtown. Thanks for a nice spot with good food and friendly service. I'll be back whenever I can to catch a weekday lunch! Thank you!! read more

Food was good! Staff was great. Definitely will be back again!!!!!!!

A must if you're in the area and definitely a needed addition to any foodie's MUST TRY list. read more

Best Red Chile I have ever had. The service is top notch! The Owners are very welcoming. I used to work next door and go almost everyday for my "moms bowl of love." I would do both green and red chile. The owner was very social too and you can tell she cared about her clientele. Probably the best food in Albuquerque to be honest. read more

They have carne adovada and carnitas on the breakfast menu, yet neither were available until 90 minutes after they opened at 8:00 am. The green chile gravy and biscuit were flavorless. The red chile sauce was also mediocre at best. read more

THE EPITOME OF COMFORT!! Never have I sat in a restaurant and actually felt like I was at a relatives house, only I didn't have to cook or help clean up!! The atmosphere here is so homey and relaxing and it goes hand in hand with the food. The fried baloney was wonderful, according to my partner, and I had the chicken salad and it was delicious. I love a chicken salad with pecans and apple as in it! The service was so great and the prices....let me tell you. I was shocked, and not in the way you are usually shocked these days! I was shocked in a great way!! It was more reasonable than fast food has been lately! 2 full meals was just $23 and then we got dessert to bring home for the kids and 4 desserts, that were full size and delicious was on $16!!! Let me tell you, we will be back over and over!! read more

I went for the first time this week to My Mom's and I cannot get it out of my head!!! The food is hands down authentic New Mexican! The bowl of love is like a warm hug from your mom or grandmother cooking in their kitchen. The carnita tacos were so good!! The crunchiness from grilling the carnitas on the flat top in a corn tortilla with garnishes is mouth watering. Don't pass up an opportunity to try this place out. It will definitely not be my last time! read more

So the first time we tried coming here we couldn't find it and after driving around the block several times, we gave up. Glad we were able to find it this time (NE corner of Roma and 4th). SO many choices that all sounded amazing. Settled on the flautas. Drinks are in a cooler as you walk in. You order up front and they call your name when ready. Very small area but clean, well decorated. Super friendly staff. Looking over at the lady's food next to me, almost thinking I should've gone with the french toast (making mental note to get that next time). Food came out quickly. Flautas are crispy and are definitely (what my friend would affectionately say)...not white girl spicy. Nice mix of crema and salsa with diced onions, tomatoes and lettuce on top with a side of guac that helps temp down the spice. I highly recommend them. So if you find yourself doing business or hanging out downtown, swing over to My Moms, you won't be disappointed. read more

Heard wonderful things about this place but left feeling meh. The over all taste was delicious. Went for breakfast and ordered the enchiladas with an egg. Assuming ( you know what they say about assuming) it came with potatoes and or beans, nope. Didn't realize there was no meat, it only had cheese. Menu didn't say either, just said enchiladas. Loved the decor and painting on the walls. Only service was the person that took my order. I had to get my own coffee, pick up my order and clean off my own table. I get it... playing off being in "your Mom's kitchen" but not knowing that a head of time and paying 20% tip at the register for no service...I would go back, as like I said the taste was delicious! At least I know what to expect and not to expect next time. read more
