Each and every time the service has been wonderful the food is great I love just getting the enchilada plate.

Waitress brought fresh chips and salsa and then fresh sopapillas. Both the salsa and carne adovada were much spicier than we expected but delicious. Green chile enchilada also had a decent kick to it but not as much as the adovada. Meat was a bit on the dry side and I wish I had more chile to wet it, but still tasty and very hearty. Really enjoyed the potatoes.

Lots of soda options and all the cool decor in every room. Same calling system when your food is ready. Felt like stepping back in time. Lite Huevos Ranchero's with red chili it was just enough to fill my belly. Great company, great service. The place was clean and workers constantly cleaning. Cinnamon roll wasn't as good as I remembered. Maybe because I waited too long after the microwave warm up.

But, this place is a staple of ALBQ. Burgers, Mexican food combo platters, sandwiches and big, fat cinnamon rolls. I ordered a combo dish consisting of enchiladas, taco, beans and rice. Overall: Everything was good. The people-watching was top notch. The atmosphere was Albuquerque. Frontier was decent. Not amongst my top choices to revisit if ever back in town.

So glad we did, it was a great experience for a large group. There were 8 of us and no complaints, that is always a win! The food is delicious, definitely very New Mexican though, so make sure that is what you are wanting. There was a long wait time for a table, which is typical for a Friday night most places. The food came out fast and are good portions. Service was amazing: quick, correct, were on top of drink refills, to go boxes and bags, and great teamwork and energy from staff.

When they ask if you want green or red sauce on your enchiladas, don't fall for the green sauce is milder. Ask for the sauce on the side.

It's been there since before I was born in the early 60's. Service was fantastic from the moment I walked in the door. My unsweetened tea was always full. And my enchiladas were delicious. Red chili made my nose run a bit which made it even more perfect! The rice was perfectly done, no added veggies. Beans were great and my enchiladas were great! I love authenticity of this wonderful local restaurant. There's history there. For those who began and those who continue to this beautiful tradition. If you catch it open, take an empty spot on 4th street or in the back. Be prepared to be greeted with kindness and served great food.

It's counter service but still super polite and helpful. The decor is casual and eclectic. We loved every bit of our food experience. The green chile sauce was what I want anytime I'm in Albuquerque.

I went just before lunch today and was surprised that I'm the only customer for now. I hope people who work in local businesses will begin to frequent it, because this is very high-quality Mexican food. Staff greeted me in a friendly fashion, nice ambience, very relaxed. A fun menu. I ordered breakfast tacos with chorizo and they were superb. Price is reasonable.

We continue with the exploration of breakfast places and this time we chose Duran Central Pharmacy…read more Don't let the name trick you as it tricked us for a while. This is a pharmacy/store/diner with a very good local vibe. The pharmacy has a bit of everything, from books, jewelry, and toys, to clothing, decor, and kitchen stuff. And when we thought there was no space for a diner, we found where the magic takes place just around the corner, where we were welcomed and seated. People were friendly, kitchen staff were getting stuff out quickly, and our server was ok. Efficiency was a clear target for everyone and our food was on our table in no time. For food, our friends ordered the breakfast burritos (with red only and a Christmas version), , the hubs ordered the carne adobada, and I ordered the tamal plate with red and green, just like I like I like it . Everyone was pleased with their choices. The burritos were big and tasty. The carne adobada had a lot of deliciously marinated pork and the steamed potatoes were quite a good addition. The tortilla with butter was simple yet delicious, with a firm and thick tortilla. The tamal plate was almost perfect. The red and green sauces were amazing, but I was slightly partial to the spicier green chile sauce. The masa on the tamales was firm and good. If there was one change I would make, it would be for the tamales to have more filling. Overall, we had a good experience at a very unique place! Stop by the store to get some local products or useful things for your home.

I personally wasn't a fan of the sopapilla bread, it had a bit of a sour taste that didn't sit right with me, so I didn't finish it. My husband, on the other hand, really liked it. The toppings were simple, just beans and green and red chile, tasty, but nothing too exciting. We also ordered a flour tortilla with butter (recommended by a friend), and that was really good! I actually enjoyed that more than the sopapilla. We had dinner reservations later, so we just stopped by for a small bite. The attached pharmacy was cool, it reminded me of a New Mexican mom-and-pop version of CVS and looked like a fun spot to pick up local gifts.
