I Went to the drive thru at Stufys on Sunset today , and I ordered 2 #7's 1 order of small fries and a large Coke When I Got To The drive thru window, I saw the Manager dipping the sopapillas and getting them out with her bare hands, that is gross and unsanitary, I asked to speak to her, and asked her why she is doing that, she doesn't speak any English and didn't understand anything I was saying, I got my food 2 stuffed sopapillas with Carne Adovada , got home and they were gross and soggy, I asked for my money back and she didn't want to give it to me, and the other person working there also grabbed some corn tortillas without any gloves on, I wish they would be trained to work and watch videos about sanitation, I am very unhappy about that place , I used to Love Stuffys, but not anymore, they have gone downhill, Thanks read more

The location on Candelaria, which is the best, is in a beat up section of the Near North Valley. Despite the run-down ragtag buildings across the street (which should be condemned), Stufy's is well run and very clean. If ever there is a major tear down by developers of 12th and Candelaria, they should allow Stufy's to remain for gamely hanging on as the entire neighborhood fell apart around them. This isn't artisanal food, but a foodie would find cheap, made to order food, and delivered quickly hard to pass up. The sopas are what most people come for, and they're packed with everything from hamburger patties to french fries and even carne adovada. The shredded chicken with bits of potatoes are satisfyingly good, and the breakfast sopas are a good find $5. They even have refrigerated air, which on hot days is a nice way to get out of the heat of the summer. Definitely recommend! read more

This was delicious. I had a stuffed sopapilla but I would never consider those 'hand held' I asked for a knife and fork before I was wearing it. Also they are pretty small. I had to go order a second one to be satisfied. The seating is odd. There were a lot of homeless people around. I'd definitely go back. Maybe just get it to go. read more

Live and direct from the North Valley: It's my first time trying carne adovada in a Sopaipilla and I don't regret it! Rich red chile, egg, seasoned meat, in a fluffy flour pouch sure makes for a great eat. Stufy's is a small restaurant but the big tastes they serve are why I recommend eating here. Locals love it; I would try again to satisfy a New Mexican craving. read more

See all

This location is the original, and it's awesome. It's your typical New Mexican place, service is slow sometimes but the food is made to order and delicious. This place has breakfast, lunch, or dinner options and they're all great. I love their tacos, taquitos, and stuffed sopas. My favorite option is the carne adovada, with potatoes and cheese. The chile has a great flavor, and it's a filling meal. It's not the cleanest, nicest, biggest place you'll visit. It's kind of a hole in the wall but the food is awesome. read more

Stufys is a prime example of Divey delicious food. Is is bad for you or is it good for you? Who really knows. The food isn't overly greasy or super processed like those fast food chains. They now serve stuffed sopas from breakfast to lunch. Ive only had the stuffed sopapillas, taquitos, fries and their homemade natillas. They have several different choices for the sopas but I stick with the #7 potato, carne adovado, and cheese. It also comes with lettuce but i prefer it without. This location is the original one. There use to be 3 locations but after a fire it leaves this guy and on located in the NE heights. If your ever in ether part of town and want a quick tasty lunch stop by and enjoy or call ahead to take it with you. read more

I've come to this Stufy's for years. I enjoy the workers as they are always friendly. I usually go through the drive thru but this time my sister and I decided to eat in. There wasn't anyone else there so it was nice and quiet. The food was awesome and I always order the Stufy #1 with retried beans and red chile. I always add fried potatoes to give it an extra crunch and flavor profile. This was my first time back to Stufy's in about 10 years and I was not disappointed. I definitely will not wait that long again to go back. read more

Stufy's - Stufy #1 - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Cool idea but stuff wasn't very friendly and also food was kind of bland. The red Chile was more like a paste and not much in there. Tamale was just ok. Wouldn't go out of my way to come here again when passing through town read more

Even before the pandemic, this place started to go downhill on quality, and I've been going to and loving Stufys since they opened on San Mateo in the 70s. Now, it's inonsistent at best. After not visiting for a long while, I tried them coming home from work, simply because it's on the way. Google said open til 7pm. Pull in at 5:15 and wait in line behind 2 cars. After 15 minutes get up to the speaker. Woman says "We're closed" I reply, "I've been in line for 15 minutes" Google says open til 7pm. She says "We close at 5:30" Obviously, she couldn't care less. Stick your head out the door and count the cars in line at 5:30 if that's the case, and at least serve the customers that waited on your slow ass service. I look at the property, the building and the attitude and realize...Wow...yeah I'll pass. Save yourself the hassle, I'm sure if the restaurant is closing at 5:30pm they have issues elsewhere that you really don't want to know about. read more

Visiting from California and found the Stufy's on Sunset for lunch, yum so had to find another closer to hotel for dinner. Ordered carne adovada stuffed, honey sopapilla and biscochitos. We are so, so happy. My mom insists that I bring some back to California! read more

Now officially cannot stand this place. We've been trying to eat here for the past 4 years off and on. But every single experience has been absolutely dreadful. It shouldn't be hard to make 2 extremely simple breakfast stuffies, but somehow every time they get everything totally wrong. This time was the last straw as we recently went on another type of diet where we don't eat much meat. Asked for a stuffy with eggs, potatoes beans, and cheese. Got a stuffy with red Chile, potatoes, and a giant meat patty-- no sign of any eggs, beans, or cheese, and I most definitely was not in the mood for the meat patty. Our roommate's order was completely correct, of course. Went to take the order back to exchange for the right thing, and was pleasantly surprised to find that they still messed it up! No beans or cheese! read more

I hate to say it but this place has gone to h$&& the food isn't good any more and the service is the worst

So this dive is never going to make the slick cover Albuquerque foodie magazines, but then if you eat here you're not reading that trash anyway. The food is sinfully good and guaranteed to give your cardiologist a heart attack. Selections and prices are reasonable. Service is not the fastest because it's not one of those chain burger joints. If you are visiting the area drive past Old Town a few miles and enjoy something different. Don't let the neighborhood scare you away - it's fine. Oh, don't tell your doctor. read more

In a nut shell, just don't eat there. Everything was scary. I'm sure the owners a nice people, just don't eat there.

This was by far the worst food and service I have experienced at any restaurant. The cashier was sarcastic and rude. The food was made incorrectly and took over 30 minutes to prepare. When I complained about my order being wrong I was told, "it's lunch time, what do you expect?". I will not return here. read more

I ordered ahead over the phone and it still took 40 minutes to complete my order. People who came after me got their order before me.Will not be coming back read more

The dishes are too inconsistent, one day you'll have the best thing you ever tasted, and another the same menu item will be just 'meh'. But you usually can't go wrong with the stuffed sopaipillas, as their sopaipillas are fantastic, probably my favorite in all of Albuquerque (take THAT, El Patio). read more

Love the food!! Only bad part is it is kinda run down and dirty. Staff is sometimes nice. The staff can be very rude and I much rather go through the drive thru so I don't have to deal with them for too long. read more

Love this place..I grew up with like 3 or 4 of these in town.There down to one or two of them around now,sad..I am a big fan of stuffed sopapillas. And stufys has a great selection,and on the cheap. my favorite is #8 but try all them,each one has a great new taste bud find.umm wish I had one close to my house.. read more

Spent 15 minutes in the drive thru before even placing order spent another 10 minutes waiting (1 car in front of us) finally drove off after noticed that all the employees were taking turns going outside to smoke! This is no way to run a business I don't care how good the food is no one should have to wait this long in a drive thru and the employees shouldn't be taking their "smoke" breaks when it is busy! read more

The Gorilla Burger is the best value in NM. 1/2 lb of beef smothered in green chile and cheese, covered in fries and two ramekins of red and green chile. If you can eat it without a fork and knife more power to you. The only downside is the staff takes a while to notice you. I've sat around for 5-8 minutes waiting for someone to take my order... but they sincerely apologized and hooked me up with some free stuffed sopas. read more

Carne adovada is great! Love being able to get a great stuffed sopa on the go for next to nothing. :)

I usually like the guacamole tostadas and ok for a sloppy stuffed sopa but today I saw them make the tostada with no gloves and then take my money with the same hands not to mention they put to go food in styrofoam containers then stuck them in the microwave. Make sure if you eat here you are careful of the food prep or order your food minus the formaldehyde. read more

We ordered the Carne adovada stuff sopapilla it was so good! Service was friendly and it was quick.

This place has been a staple of Albuquerque for as long as I can remember. I don't eat there too often but when I do, I have to say that although the food is very good and reasonably priced, the service is horrible. Every time I have gone there in the past I'm never greeted with a Hello or a thank you. So with that being said. I would recommend this business only because the food is good. read more

The carne adovada and pork tamales are tasty, but guess what? I can get these items of equal taste and quality, or better, ten other places, within five minutes, and not wait in a ridiculously slow drive through line with unwarranted rude service. read more

I have been coming to stufy's since early 2000's. I have made many special drives out of my way just to come here once I moved out of the north valley. The stuffed sopapillas are always big. Enough for an average appetite to feel satisfied. My favorite is the #7, carne adovada, sliced potatoes with the cheese and lettuce. But I have tried them all and they are all very tasty. I do prefer the red Chile to their green and sometimes the green has a slight taste that I feel like they maybe forgot to add chile and I have to search for it. But you can always ask for extra chile. For me, this is one of those small businesses that if it were to close down, I would literally have to shed some tears for. It's very nostalgic for me to come here. The food still tastes the same every time, they haven't changed the recipe since they opened I found out by talking with a worker. Speedy service, friendly. Drive through or sit down available read more

Stufy's - Stufy # 9 - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

The carne adovada is the best around. Generous portions and cheap prices. The breakfast (stufy's) stuffed sopapillas rock. When I've got a tough hangover I won't settle for anything less than a #12. Great New Mexico food. I love the #12 so much I've never tried anything else, but from the smell of the place I bet the burgers are good too. read more

Driving through Albuquerque on my way to Santa Fe and wanted to stop at a local dive. This popped up and I tried it. It is very very good. Drive-through takes some time but after I got my meal I knew why. Number seven no lettuce. Like green chili stew inside ah a sopaipilla. Delicious. I will be stopping by again to try something else on the menu read more

Food is great. But went through the drive through. Waited in the drive through for 15 minutes. Finally got to pick up window. No coke...... read more

What is strange is that part of me wants to hate this place and I have no idea why. Likely because this has to be the most unhealthy place you could ever eat. I have had it three times in the past three months, all at work. It's cheap New Mexican food, but it's not bad. The Stuffy 4 is good. It's a stuffed sopaipilla, filled with a hamburger, potatoes and chile. It's a sopaipilla burger. It's good. Really. It is. The chile is good, as well. It is this sort of food that makes me wonder how on earth I am thin. It's straight comfort food, New Mexican style. The Dinner options are gigantic. They are all around 7 dollars and you will have food for tomorrow's dinner, too. You would think the Rellenos would be bad from a little place like this, but they are actually...good. The dinner plates all come smothered in chile and cheese. I am not a fan of the tacos, though. The chicken was dry. Maybe next time I will try the beef. It does hurt my heart that the posole is only served seasonally. I wish it was year round. I can say that they are not always consistent. My coworkers have gotten salty beans or bland dishes before. Overall, though, it's a not a bad place for a quick bite. I cannot say anything about the service, because it's picked up by my work. read more

As a native New Mexican now living on the east coast, we make a point to stop at Stufys every time we come back. The sopapillas are so good, well worth the wait. The staff has always been pleasant and courteous. Yes, there is a bit of a wait, but that's how you know it was made fresh. I love their sopapillas hot, just from the fryer. The #2 has always been my favorite and it didn't disappoint. read more

Why can't I stop coming here? It took 20+ minutes from ordering to getting my food at the drive-thru. They need more fryers, more people or both. Multitask, multitask!!! read more

My first time here. Drove through for a quick lunch pick-up. No wait in line, and no wait on the food. Affordable and filling. I had the #9 Stufy with refried beans, beef, green chile and cheese. The chile had good flavor and the serving was enough to fill me up until dinner. Way better than paying more for some chain "Mexican food" I've had before, that didn't taste near as good as this. I'll be back! read more

So, yesterday, I drove thru, was promptly greeted and asked to hold. Two vehicles lined up behind me and waited. I waited. Two vehicles behind me left, and after 10 minutes waiting TO ORDER, I left. Tried again today. Same prompt greeting, and asked to hold. Only had to wait 4 minutes today, but with one car in the lot and one car at the window, that's too long. The order taker didn't repeat my order, so surprise, it wasn't right when it was given to me. I waited another 4 minutes for them to get it right. The new person at the window obviously hasn't been properly trained and is costing them money. BUT THE FOOD IS GREAT!!! I'll keep coming here even if lousy service has to be tolerated to get to those yummy #7s. read more

Great food #7 is my favorite, you wait a little while but you won't regret it once you taste the food

The food here is exactly! I've never had a wrong order or anything horribly made here in the years I've been coming here. This is the best Stufy"s restaurant around. But it infuriates me how long it takes their Drive-through to get the food out. I had literally been a car in front of me, myself and one behind me and I've sat there for over 40 mins. Which is just unacceptable. read more

I ordered a #1 bean Stufy's from the Juan Tabo store. The sopapilla was flat and tough to chew and did not seem fresh. The beans were extremely salty. I'm still a Stufy's fan, but in comparison to the Stufy's from the past, the past offered a much better tasting Stufy's. Keep the sopapillas fresh, not stale or gummy, and you'll be back to the great Stufy's you used to be. read more

I waited in the drive up lane 25 minutes 2 cars in front of me I finally left in frustration

Kinda rude. Ignorant. Lacking customer service. I got there at 7:30, they open at 8:00, well there suppose too open at 8. I wait until 8:03 to go up to the drive thru. Then when I get there they said they don't open till 8.30.. They have more then three signs saying that open at 8.00! Come on guys get your crap together. Other then that I love the food! It's right by valley high school. Always gone there as a kid. If you haven't try it I suggest you do! read more
