    First thing for sure. If you're ordering tacos here. EAT IT THERE! As good as they were. It's best to eat it freshly where everything is in tack! We ordered a few of their tacos basic, beef, chicken, pork, and pastor. Overall I had no issues. They stacked it to the max and you're getting your bang for your buck. All their drinks goes well with them too! Love the Horchata if you're into that milky kind. If not their mango is zee best! Only down side I would say is if you do takeout. Those things will either melt, or fall off or get overly soggy due to the sauces and what nots.

    Tacos were alright. Service was fast and very friendly. Prices were okay. What was great was their horchata! If you want some delicious homemade horchata then you've found your spot here!

    Place was empty except one family ordering when I got in, family took. While to.order but.it was loud with all the fans running. I managed to get iny order but was unable to hear them due to the noise, several other people came in. And while I was eating my tacos the whole place filled with smoke.. they open d up extra doors but it was only barely thinning as I left. Tacos were good, quite liked the little paper wrappers totally helped make them easy to munch.. 4 stars for food 2 for atmosphere..

    Have been wanting to try this place. The service at the ordering counter was great. The food not so much. I ordered tripa tacos. I specified I wanted them extra crispy they weren't even a little crispy. My husband ordered a quesadilla. It was so greasy it was ridiculous. We also ordered steak fries. The fries were so soggy with grease. There was such a small amount of cheese I seriously thought they had forgotten the cheese. The steak was so dried and tasteless. It also tasted very old. Not a very good first experience.

    I stopped by here with a friend and the food was good. We each ordered three tacos, a drink, and fries to share... it was quite expensive for the food we got. It was super smoky inside that we had to leave early because our eyes were watering so much.

    Taking orders, now

    We returned to try something different this time. Their corn quesadillas definitely grant an extra star to this updated review! They are big and stuffed with protein. The cheese was soft inside the tortilla but crusty if there was some outside. Definitely will ask for quesadillas instead of tacos in the future!

    Open window on looking in to the taqueria.

    Beautiful night to have the windows open. Friendly person at the register to take my order. I tried an al pastor taco and the carne asada tacos. Both were flavorful and delicious. I love the pineapple mixed with the al pastor. The salsa had the perfect amount of heat for me. They had a variety of salsas at the salsa bar if you wanted more heat. Grilled onion and jalapeño were served on the side. I washed the delicious tacos down with a Guava Jarritos. Nice taco place.

    Tried this taco spot recently and while it had potential, there were a couple things that missed the mark for me. The meat in the tacos was pretty fatty a little too much for my taste and the fries were overly salty, which made it hard to enjoy them. That being said, the flavors were there, and the menu has a lot of great options. If they can clean up the quality of the meat and go a little lighter on the salt, I could see this place being a solid go to. I'm willing to give it another try because the vibe and concept are great just hoping for a better bite next time!

    Carne asada taco
    Devy P.

    This place wasn't too busy and it was quiet. Pretty much you just order your food first and sit anywhere. I grabbed some tacos to go I ordered the carne asada and lengua tacos. Prices for the la carte wasn't bad and the tacos had a good amount of meat.

    Quesadillas de maiz

    Food and service was great! Authentic Mexican food. Great drink selection.. augua frescas and Mexican cokes

    Recommend the tacos de asada. The tacos al pastor where needing more salt. The tacos de tripa where a bit chewy.

    See all

    Fantastic food at a good value. The salsas are tasty and the tacos are generously sized.

It's difficult to find good restaurants that can cater to young adults and have REALLY good food and service. We came first on Sunday for brunch. The food was very good. It was a bit small on the portions though. We had breakfast enchiladas and omelet and blue corn pancakes. Then we came back for dinner. The chicken mole was divine, tacos, sea bass, pork steak etc. absolutely perfect. Good portions. Food tastes like it was homemade. The cuisine is Mexican...not New Mexican. The server was great about answering any questions and willing to omit something if possible. Our server was attentive and so gracious. The wine list was surprisingly good. We had a French Viognier for less than $50. Finally the owner came out to talk to us and thanks us for coming. I'm in the business and haven't had this kind of service for a long time. Our son with Celiac was very satisfied, but also we all were. I would absolutely come back regardless of food restrictions. Please go!!

The property seems massive and it's really beautiful with all the cottonwood trees. When you get into the restaurant, there are just tons of combinations of these cozy little nooks, long dining tables, separated rooms, patio seating, and event spaces. There is something to see everywhere you look; fountains, fireplaces, and plants, hanging chiles, and more. They even raise cattle and chickens on property and source from their own greenhouse for their menu items. The ambience was just really cool and even though the winds were blowing like crazy, we were totally comfortable out in the patio section with the screens up. The food is authentic New Mexican cuisine. They brought out delicious tortilla chips for us to snack on while we decided on what to order. It really felt like there was no wrong choice to make. They were very accommodating for food allergies and restrictions. There was great flavor in everything our group tried. I split the half order of chicken nachos and it was a hefty half order! I was so stuffed, but then, hot sopapillas appeared and I couldn't say no to those! Especially not since the tables had their own sourced honey. There is also a full tequila bar, but since we were traveling with kids, didn't get to take too much advantage of that as an option. I wish we would've had more to explore the property but if I end up back in the Albuquerque area, I'll stop by again.

The good: The red chile rubbed ribs are phenomenal, but 1/2 rack for $44?! It's not a lobster tail. Beans and guac-excellent, calabacitas-very good. The chicken enchiladas-delicious with tender chicken. The bad: 2 Grand Gold margaritas at $15 each that were neither grand or gold. I've had better house margaritas at Applebees, lol. Their red chile was sparse, but that actually turned out in my favor because it was on the edge of burnt. A bit acrid. The sopas were dense, flat, chewy, and overcooked. The salsa-underwhelming. If you want excellent Grand Gold margaritas, the best salsa in New Mexico, and excellent portion sizes- SADIE'S ALL THE WAY!!!
