Excellent cocktail (Andaluz Manhattan) and Guacamole & Salsa app to start. I was able to sip and observe others food items pass by to assist in my choice. I had the Enchilada (Wagyu) entree which was a worthy hearty serving. Lydiana and Ava were cheerful and professional behind the bar. They crushed providing the busy service bar w drinks too, as the dining room was busy. ABQ is my halfway stop enroute to DEN, and this will be a routine stop.

Tonight was no exception. 3cof us we went towards a table with 2 chairs. It was on the quiter side. They put 2 tables together moved chairs around made sure we were comfortable. I ordered a margarita but didn't read description. Too spicy I returned it saying my mistake. They took it off bill. This place is 5 star service 5 star food And in my neighborhood

Tried again to go have a drink and some appetizers here…read more Quesadilla was ok, much better at other places. Was not crispy, cubed chicken inside was dry, was hoping for some guac but only came with some tomato tasting salsa. Here's the thing for the nachos. The ingredients individually were good, you can tell it's quality. However all together the flavors did not mesh well. Had queso, shredded cheese and Cojita. The asada was tender and good but the red sauce they make and put on top was not very good. Can't say I'll be rushing back anytime soon. Especially for the cost. But is a cool place to hang out at the bar for a drink.

I expected a more authentic and distinctive dining experience after discovering this restaurant in…read morea highly regarded magazine. The menu initially sounded creative, especially the waffles featuring pepitas, quinoa, and blue corn, which led me to assume that the same thoughtful use of ingredients would carry throughout the rest of the menu. The blue corn enchiladas were the clear highlight and were genuinely delicious. Unfortunately, the red sauce served alongside them tasted noticeably canned. I had hoped for a fresh, house-made sauce that would complement the quality of the enchiladas. The calabacitas were also barely seasoned and could have benefited from much more flavor. The eggs Benedict was disappointing. The addition of a sausage patty made it feel more like a typical American breakfast than the regional and authentic dish I had expected. Many of the available sides were also potato-based, mainly hash browns or French fries, which made the menu feel less varied and imaginative. The blue corn porridge was acceptable, and the generous amount of berries helped bring the dish together, but the porridge itself could have been much more flavorful. There is plenty of potential here, particularly if more attention were given to fresh sauces, seasoning, regional ingredients, and a wider variety of side dishes. The service was good, and the meal overall was fine, but based on my experience, it was not distinctive enough to justify making a special trip.

The food we had all needed salt and more flavor. The prices weren't bad considering how everyone has raised their menu prices. The service was good and food came out fast. I forgot to take pics of our food since I was w a group of people... sorry. But, we all got different Combo plates. They were good but not great. The bldg is old but well maintained with clean dining rooms. Simple old cafe furniture and a bit of an old Landmark place near downtown. We were seated in the second dining room under a broken ceiling that could fall down w the next monsoon rain. It'll be another long while before I return. Sorry folks!"

We had the guacamole and salsa, I recommend mixing them together, they pair surprisingly well. A little pricey at $9.60 for the plate. For entrees, we had the green chile chicken enchiladas and carne adovada Christmas style. The latter is one of the most distinct and delicious regional dishes I've had. All entrees had really nice pairings with pinto beans, potato hash, and freshly cooked sopapillas. We chose to have the sopapillas with honey as a dessert, but there's the option to stuff them with the entree.

Service: when you walk in you're greeted by the person at the small pony wall. They have signs for specials and menus. You should select a table and then decide what to eat before going to the window and ordering. They do not take your order at the table. Food: very tasty and fresh. Reminds me of Tex-mex food. The beans were delicious!! The sauce they use is hot sauce thickness it was fresh and delicious. The red sauce had a kick to it. Glad we stopped in and tried it out.
