I hadn't eaten at this location before. The food was good and the wait staff were helpful. The other location had better food.

Our second visit to the great Sadie's was everything we wanted and more!! The ground beef tacos were delicious and so filling. The three cheese enchiladas were amazing. Sadie's serves meals with cubed potatoes and pinto beans, which mesh incredibly well with their sauce. Our waitress was amazing and even sent us home with fresh hot chips and sopapillas (included in the meal!). Great leftovers and nice environment. We have been seated in both the main area and the quieter back room. Both are equally nice! Be prepared for a loud restaurant and long wait if you come during rush hours, but trust me.... it's worth it!!! read more

Sadie's - Tacos - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I was looking forward to trying their salsa, but was disappointed. It is too runny, I prefer chunky salsa. The margarita is good. I had the combo plate and liked everything, but wZ surprised when chopped fried potatoes came with the beans, instead of rice...I guess this was ok. Service at bar, which is where I had dinner, was exceptionally good. Just wish the salsa was more chunky and wish they offered pinto beans as an option to the fried potatoes. read more

Brisket tacos, Brisket tacos, Brisket tacos. Best tacos in New Mexico...great salsa and sopas anywhere..!

This place was really good, though the food is quite heavy. They give you free chips and salsa, so you can't complain there. Just beware: the salsa is very hot, even for me. I ordered Huevos Rancheros with red and green Chile, but when it came out there was no green Chile on it (Atleast not enough that I noticed it).I'm not one to send something back so I just ate it and it was very delicious. I recommend but be careful with the salsa! read more

I came here last Friday for dinner with my parents. There was a little wait, but not bad considering covid and lack of employees. We were sat and our server was very attentive and friendly without being too much. Thank you! The food options were New Mexican proud. We ALL focused on carne adovada, but one went beef tacos! My plate was just amazing! I could barely finish a bit over half, so I had a 2nd meal afterwards at home (hooray). I even reached across and tasted the beef tacos! Side note: the taco eater, who will be nameless, didn't finish either so I eat her remaining taco the next day! You snooze you lose! Overall it was enjoyable! The plates included beans and potatoes and the sopapilla closer! Sopa? It's like an Indian flatbread that you squeeze in some honey! Some people eat it like a tortilla to help with the meal, but others enjoy (myself included) it as a dessert! WINNING!!! read more

I really liked the food! A good zing without being too hot, and surprisingly inexpensive! I'll be back!

Everyone can enjoy Christmas here, it doesn't matter what you believe in. I need to take my Jewish friend here. He always wanted to experience Christmas, but obviously not to the point where he would convert. This place is the perfect way for him to partake in Christmas while remaining Jewish. When I was here I ordered the Chile relleno. The waitress asked me if I'd like the red sauce, green sauce, or both. I didn't want to miss out on anything so I got both. After I ordered my cousin informed me that I could have said "Christmas", which meant getting both the green and red sauces. After knowing that I wanted to reorder, but also didn't want to waste the waitress' time just so I could say "Christmas". Next time I'll know what to do. Anyways, the Christmas Chile relleno was amazing! read more

Sadie's - Stuffed chicken green Chile soapapilla wow. Delicious. And this was a la carte! 5 stars - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Traveling thru the area, 'everyone' seemed to recommend Sadies. That said, it was good, just didn't deserve the raves we got from the locals. Highs- the margarita was strong and flavorful, and the salsa had a nice kick to it. The mediums were tge guacamole a spicy beef and chicken we enjoyed in our tacos, tamales, burritos. Good, just not great. The lows? Greasy taco shells, tasteless chips and tacos overwhelmed by cheese. Hey, I recognize that different regions have different styles, yet I expected better of the SouthWest - ifSadies is Albuquerque's best, I feel sorry for y'all, there's better out there, I promise read more

I loved this place after a long day at the balloon fest. We were starving and the staff here is fabulous and kind. They started us off with sopapillas! Yum!!! Fried puffed bread that you put honey over and enjoy. It was served warm! We loved the lunch specials. I had food for days. read more

Great food and plenty of it! The chips are fresh and the smoky salsa is to die for. Had the stuffed Sopaipilla (gr beef) with frijoles and papitas. Tasty and filling! Oh, and the margaritas...yum. Great value and service. Wait staff is attentive and fun. read more

The food was amazing!!!! You could not ask for better service!!! I loved everything about this restaurant!!! I definitely will be going back

Best food in the world. Try the stuff Sapia with Christmas or the enchiladas! Or the burritos! I come here every time come back home to Albuquerque and it never disappoints. read more

Sadies may have been good at some point years ago but NOT as of 2/28/23. Food was quite disappointing,service inadequate ( no water refills, 3 times asking for extra napkins,asked 2 times for more salsa. Server asked if I wanted protein with cheese flat enchiladas & I clearly asked if protein was included she said yes. I was upcharged for protein... When I questioned server she immediately summoned manager and of course nothing was done. This is NOT the first time I have had an unpleasant experience at Sadie's, Buyer beware... How many times does one tolerate a restaurant that does not live up to expectations or reputation?? read more

The building has been there for years. Patio dining is available. Plenty of parking and easy to get to. Our waiter was very pleasant and offered options. For example the nachos, the menu shows as chicken or beef but if you can choose another. We chose carne adovada. The carne adovada on nachos is the bomb! Sadie's is very generous with their food. I love the chips and salsa. The salsa had a little kick. I recommend this place. read more

Do you see the size of this food??? For the price, this was AMAZING. The enchiladas had AMAZING spice I loved them. The cheese was ooey gooey and super fresh. Food came out fast and hot despite the rush! Fried Chiles were amazing! I can't wait to eat here more and more! read more

Sadie's - Huevos Rancheros and stuffed sapodillas - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We were traveling through Albuquerque and this place came highly recommended. We'll it did not disappoint. Beef brisket enchiladas were delicious, potatoes and beans had great flavor. Margaritas were spot on in flavor! High recommend sopping here for a meal. Service was good, a little slow but I think they were a little short handed. Ambiance came with full New Mexico vibe. Living in Phoenix, I thought we had some pretty good places, nothing out does Sadie's! read more

Whatever you do, DO NOT get the BLT at Sadies. They bacon was cooked during the war (world war 1) and they used diced tomatos??? Who does that? Diced tomatos are for garnish, but Sadies doesn't care, just so long as they get paid for a literal POS sandwich. I could've complaing (but I didn't), Oh well. They have some half-way decent stuff. I do like the relleno, but do not get the BLT. read more

Excellent service, food and ambiance!! We came for lunch, literally expect to take leftovers!!! Enough food for 3 meals!!! Great margaritas too!! read more

I'm told the COMPLIMENTARY salsa is homemade, that garners a star all its own. Just to think someone somewhere is still fixing this up in a granny kitchen, is awesome. But don't take it lightly, because when they say it's hot, then actually mean hot like there's a "mini hell's fire" going on in your mouth that only a cessation from eating it will cool your mouth. Bad thing is, it has some addictive properties, because I couldn't stop eating. The food portions are GINORMOUS, I mean colossal, sharable, take home for left-overs size. I find the wait staff to be a little lacking; it took 10 minutes for me to get some water & salsa. When they finally came, it was 2 minors, 1 in training & 1 trainer, neither of which could serve alcohol; so here goes another 5 minute wait for someone who could serve an adult beverage, phew!!!! Finally got my margarita & tasty it was... YummmmmmY!!!!! Sopapillas to finish off the meal, "to go" please ma'am & I was outta there. I found the interior to be a little dated, maybe because this is the original location or so I'm told. The parking lot is expansive, so no issues there. Have fun, but be advised there may be a wait for a qualified server to get you some booze. read more

Sadie's - DANGEROOOOOOOOUS!!!!! - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Best New Mexican food in the state, best red chili. GM Geneva is an outstanding General manager. She is always busy yet she finds the time to check on guests. Geneva also promotes personnel from within which is a huge plus !! Managers Matt and Darlene also do a great job. Great margarita's, chips and salsa. Their Rib Eye steaks are outstanding also. We ask for Shantell, Al, Chris, or Alfred when we go there. Beautiful, clean restaurant. 5 STARS. Went there today 8-8-24 and had the best enchilada's I've ever eaten. read more

Well when one wants the mother of all nachos, (MOAN) Sadies is hard to top. We ordered a large nachos half and half- they brought a mountain of nachos- a huge plate to be sure. The staff were great! They offered consistent service and had a fantastic attitude! The nachos came hot with melted cheddar as opposed to the nacho cheese like sauce that can hijack a tortilla chip. Topped with a generous amount of sour cream, and layered with the ingredients dispersed evenly through the chips, the execution was solid. That said we opted for shredded beef and chicken. They were both slightly on the dry side. The really nice detail was the use of fresh jalapeños that added the right amount of spice to the light and crunchy chips. I would order this again, but be warned- the large is enough for 4 easily! read more

Delicious! The chips, salsa, and guacamole were all amazing appetizers! I got the Prickly Pear Margarita and it was outstanding!! I got the Fish Tacos dinner and it was very tasty! It came with 2 fish tacos, a big scoop of guacamole, and roasted vegetables. We also got the Papitas fritas con frijoles which was so much food! And so good as leftovers! Highly recommend! read more

Amazing authentic New Mexican food. I've been twice since being in ABQ for work. I always try enchiladas at New Mexican places and Sadie's did not disappoint!! The portions are so big and I usually get 3 meals out of one haha. The chips and salsa are so good that last time I asked for a bit more salsa to bring home and mans brought me a whole container! Good service too read more

Sadie's is definitely one of the most authentic New Mexican restaurants you can eat at. Some people don't like their dishes because of all of the garnish that's added on top, but I feel like its what makes Sadies original and authentic. I visited recently with my friend, and when we arrived they were a bit busy. We waited for about 15mins before we were seated. Once we sat down we ordered drinks and relaxed for a couple minutes till we ordered. The atmosphere at each Sadie's location is great, definitely different from other restaurants. When it came time to order, I ordered the shredded beef tacos, and my friend ordered chicken tacos, both delicious selections. The tacos are very flavorful, they aren't dry or tasteless. Overall, Sadie's has great customer service, and the meal was terrific! The portions are very big, so if you have a large appetite, this place is for you! read more

Sadie's - The bar area - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Great place! The food is delicious and there is always fast service! This isn't a trendy place but it definitely is New Mexican!

Stopped here on a road trip during covid *bleh* not realizing NM does not allow indoor dining (but does allow indoor shopping?). So we ate on the freezing patio but it was worth it. Food was amazing. The tamale was huge and everything comes with these fantastic crispy fried potatoes smothered in (mole?) sauce. I opted for green and red sauce and was very pleased. Was also pleased with NM's definition of spicy. Everything was actually spicy. Would absolutely return. Only thing I wasn't pleased about was the beans. They were not refried. They were really good but refried beans is one of my favorites. If I had realized before ordering they may have subbed that for me. read more

We went to Sadies's on Academy this week for lunch. As usual the food was very good. I ordered taquitos, and my husband ordered a stuffed sopapilla . The waiter asked me if I wanted my taquitos grilled or fried, which I appreciated, because fried makes them more crispy. The queso and salsa we're so good with the taquitos. I want to mention our waiter, Chris and our Busman, Jonathan. They were excellent- attentive, pleasant, quick. They must have a very good training program at this restaurant. read more
