    Chorizo & Egg Burrito
    John D.

    We decided to eat somewhere we rarely eat at and haven't be to for a long time. So here we are. Simple order bean & cheese and chorizo & egg burrito. It was delivered as ordered. Bean & cheese had decent taste. But the tortilla was excessively thick. I ended up unwrapping the burrito and eating the beans separately. The chorizo and egg was similarly wrapped, the egg was dry. Salsa was needed to add moisture. Surprising because chorizo is generally fatty so there should be some moisture. There was a good amount of chorizo in the eggs. However it lacked any real flavor. Breakfast was something in our stomach - but that's about it.

    Hair ball in the barbacoa

    Picked up Taco cabana and ordered posole and 1/2 lb of barbacoa. My girlfriend made a barbacoa taco and started eating. She bit in and there was something tough and chewey! She pulled out some kinda hair ball from her mouth! Seriously, this is disgusting! Wish I could give 0 stars!!! Will never be back!!!

    Wtf is that baby poop?
    Bre V.

    Spent almost $60 ordering from postmates only to receive cold, nasty food - which was 20 min late and almost everything was wrong. I won't hold this against postemates, I was just very annoyed that I waited for a late order when nothing was even good or right. Ordered nachos that were supposed to have ground beef, pico, guac, sour cream & jalapeños. Nachos I received were just shredded chicken and queso. Ordered chicken fajitas that were supposed to come with salsa ranch, guac and other toppings. Only received these sad af dried, cold chicken in a sad af tortilla. The guac was brown and tasted gross and over ripe. Everything that was "right" tasted cold and gross. I'm writing this bc I'm bugged af that I spent all this money and waited over an hour for nasty af food that wasn't even right. See

    Empty and dirty salsa bar
    Marky F.

    The slowest, dirtiest fast food chain on Coors Blvd! Salsa bar was empty of most items. Trash cans overflowing and not one employee that was really working. This is ANOTHER NM business that can't focus on drive thru and indoor dining. 27 minute wait for two items? Pass.

    This is what you'll be surprised with when you order a lb of barbacoa

I saw…read more4.8 out of five stars on this location and decided it was worth driving off the beaten path. Very easy to find located in a small part of the neighborhood we parked on a side street and walked in. We were greeted right away and told to take a table. When we receive the menu, it had no prices on it, and although the menu is somewhat limited, the variety was a good sampling there is something for everyone. I ordered the QuesoBirria tacos and my eating companion, had a cheeseburger and fries. They delivered a basket of fried potatoes slices that were a little slice of heaven before our meal. The restaurant was busy. Every table was full, and people kept streaming into the restaurant to pick up to go orders. A food arrived shortly after we ordered it. The cheeseburger was handmade served with fresh cut onions and tomatoes on a potato type bun with loads of fries the tacos were over the top! They brought out two types of salsa, freshly made a red sauce and a green sauce. My favorite was the green sauce. It was a little bit spicier than the red. The flavor was next level. I took two of these to go home because they were so large. You could definitely share this with someone. I did read all the plaques on the wall in the restaurant. The chef has won awards and lots of newspaper articles were posted about this location. I highly recommend would certainly visit again and by the amount of people that were streaming in most seemed to be regulars I guarantee this place is going to be around for a long time so happy that we visited this spot. It's a pleasure writing a review, especially since the staff were hard-working and we are very attentive.

    Yes, I get the hype, and in my opinion, totally worth it!…read more I came here on a Sunday night and they were very busy. The place is huge so they have plenty of tables available. I stood on line to order for maybe 10 minutes or so. I had the Carne Adovada Burrito, one soft Beef Taco, and rice and beans. Everything was excellent and tasted delicious. The price was very reasonable. I wish we had a restaurant like this on Long Island.

Directly across the street from University of New Mexico's main entrance, this place is packed when school is in session. This place is huge, but not at first glance. Walk into the retro-looking, Western themed dining room, and you'll see a huge menu board above the order counter. There is are several freestyle soda machines in the middle of the room. There are little digital screens in the corner where you watch for your order number and a counter in the corner where you go pick up your food. It's not until you go into the next room that you discover there is another "next room," and then another. There is a lot of art on the walls, including several John Wayne pictures. The girl at the counter who took our order was an absolute ray of sunshine--so friendly and sweet. We ordered the green chili cheeseburger with onion rings and the daily special which is the "green pile-up" (beans, hash browns, scrambled egg, and green chili beef). The good came our talented quickly, and was quite yummy. Frontier is an Albuquerque classic. If it old? Yes, but it has a huge faithful following, not including the things of UNM students that pack this giant diner during the school year. It may not be a "must try" for some, but if you want Albuquerque nostalgia, this is your place. Btw--it's pretty darn cheap,!

    We were traveling from North Carolina to our home in San Diego…read more We looked up places to eat and were tired of "road trip food". We found Herencia and took a chance. We know good Mexican food, as we are from San Diego, and wanted to try the southwest fare. WHAT AN AMAZING CHOICE! The lovely hostess was charming, engaging and sweet (wish i had her name) and our waiter (Edgar) was authentic, personable and fun to chat with. We had been at a movie and had eaten a bit too much popcorn so we did not order a lot. The three of us shared the free blue corn (not fried) chips with three salsa samples.

Server didn't check on us too often and let someone at the table run out of water for 5 minutes until we asked for more. I had the pork al pastor ($26). It was cooked well and seasoned really nicely. Lobster enchiladas were nice but unique just to be unique. I asked for recommendations and all of the options were the most expensive on the menu which was odd to me. If they have a cheaper lunch menu it might be worth trying, but I think the dinner isn't worth it for the price. Four entrees and a soda was $130 plus tip.

My parents lived in ABQ for years and always thought that the atmosphere was great, but the food was so-so. However, on this instance, we all thought the food was quite good. Flavorful carne adovada, although it was a bit tough. Red chile sauce was spicy but had great flavor. The green chile sauce was hot and tasty. Posole was also good. The gold margaritas were also good - to anyone complaining about the price - at $14.50, the price is very fair considering the cost of ingredients. If you want a cheap junk margarita that is more sugar than anything else, go somewhere else! Our gripe... The place is huge and has an abundance of great places to seat guests. We had a pretty large group - 7 people celebrating a family reunion of sorts. However, they sat us right next to the bussing station that had noisy carts, dishwashers, and other distractions. It was so loud, it was hard to hear the person across the table. There were at least 10 other tables that they could have seated us at! It seems to me that this area should be used only when the restaurant is completely full. This seems to be a poor management decision rather than the fault of the servers or hosts.
