Fantastic! Had a birthday party dinner there. The staff was so helpful. Had Louie Sedillo play guitar along with his singing partner (did happy birthday songs; and more). Everyone had a good time. The staff, the atmosphere were great. Having music during this event was so nice. I would recommend this place, especially for special events. read more

Im not sure why this place is only getting 3.6 on yelp. The chile here was exceptional. I had both green and red on enchiladas and it was amazing! The patio was beautiful and service on point. I highly recommend coming here! read more

Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. Love the building inside and out. A little extra parking would be nice.

The staff are incredibly nice. They're laid back, attentive and you can hear and see how much they love working there. The music is not too loud, either! The food is incredible. Authentic food and restaurant. Impressed. read more

This is my third time to take a couple friends to Teofilos. Much to my surprise, they must have changed their pricing on chips and salsa. Today I got charged for three people having chips and salsa at $5.95 per person. There are chips and salsa is pretty good but definitely not worth $18 for three people. Had I known we certainly would have had more than 2 bowls! read more

Teofilos Restaurante - Almost $18 for chips and salsa! - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Los Lunas, New Mexico

Back in Los Lunas after moving away 10 years ago. Made a special trip to visit Teofilos to remember the good times. We're very disappointed, surprised, and appalled when received bill and saw charge for chips/salsa ($6) worst part was very small portion and refills were additional Not a good experience visiting an old favorite. Very few restaurants in southwest USA charge for chips/salsa as most are complimentary read more

I have to wonder if Teofilo's is under different management. I've been there 3-4 times over the years, most recently a year and a half ago. Unfortunately I think I'm done with it. The food used to be very good. But over time it moved into the 'average' category. This time it was in the disappointing category. My chile rellenos were fine; I like the panko coating. However, the meat in my partner's carnitas burrito was like leather. Carnitas should be a little bit crispy but these were so dry he could barely cut them. A small bowl of chips and salsa that we assumed to be complimentary was $6. Service, while pleasant, was spotty and slow. The building is charming and has a nice ambiance, but the overall dining experience needs improvement. read more

Ambiance was great, hence the 2 stars. Service not so good, waitress never checked on us for water refills or anything else. This was our first time there and not impressed. My enchiladas were pretty dry as well as my husband's smothered burrito. The place was pretty expensive for portion size and quality, expect to be nickeled and dimed for any extras. Sopapilla, rice and beans were pretty good. This place will not be in our rotation when we are in Los Lunas. read more

Ordered a 2 taco combo plate. It was great until a 3 inch thick gray hair was in the taco then in my mouth. One of the most repulsive experiences. read more

For New Mexican cuisine, their food is average. Prices are good and service was okay. The restaurant is clean.

The atmosphere is wonderfully New Mexican. The waiter was friendly and helpful. The food was prepared quickly and was very tasty. This is our third time eating here, and each time has been an excellent experience. read more

I was invited here for a dinner with a speaker who wanted to talk about retirement investments. That in itself is something I could write a review about but, I'll keep it to the restaurant review and spare you those details. The choice for meals were good. They had the appetizer chips, salsa, were good and of course the sopapillas and honey are always good. The service was good. Quick on asking for drinks and getting orders. It was a good size group of people and getting the orders were good. I ordered the enchiladas (green and red chile /Christmas) with steak, rice and beans. Everything was good. Steak was over cooked for me and I didn't like the rice, beans were good. Enchiladas were good, sauce was tasty. Then there was a dessert. Something I haven't tried. Natillas! This was delicious! I really enjoy coming here, as I have many times. As a local Mexican cuisine restaurant, it's good. Always clean, friendly service and enjoyable place to go. read more

Wait staff was not very knowledgeable. Perhaps a new server. But the food was very disappointing. My wife has two tacos a la carte and they actually came on two plates and were not very flavorful. I had two pork tamales. They were literally each smaller than most enchiladas. Very little masa on them. Beans and rice were standard out of the can/box. Sopaipilla were very good. read more

My family and I had eaten at this restaurant on a Sunday at about 1:40 and it was closing at 2:30 and it seemed like the service was terrible. We would ask for simple things and they would get it for us but with such attitude and annoyance, aswell as very few visits from the waitress too see how we were doing. The food would come out nothing like described and we were missing important ingredients in the meals such as eggs. Other than that it was fine read more

Save your time and money. atrocious!! wait 2 hours for food, comes cold, they microwaved my fajitas and tried bringing them back. service is terrible and they add gratuity. the audacity read more

Food was amazing !!!! The portions were large and very tasty. Food came out fast!!! I only wish they had a waitress as opposed to walking up to order your meal. But everyone has their preferences. This location will not disappoint you !!! read more

Teofilos is not what they used to be. They no longer serve chips and salsa before the meal. The food is marginal at best and the portions are smaller. The servers try to clear your plate before you're finished eating. Unfortunately this was the third time we've eaten there and we won't be back. read more

So disappointed. When I come into town to visit, teofilos is always a place I need to stop at; however today was extremely Disappointing. I'll start with the service they weren't very attentive we sat there needing refills for awhile. Next the food portions ! OMG. Everything has shrunk !! The tamale was so small I couldn't even believe it was a tamale ! And the chicken ! They served one tiny piece of chicken breast ! And the sopapillas !! They were so tiny ! & TOUGH ! They said they were " made fresh" but jeez it seemed like they had been sitting since last night. I don't know what happened and why these changes happened all I know is I'm so disappointed that I have to take this place off my " must visit" list. read more

Nice place to visit and eat. Good Mexican food and a very chill ambiance. Clean and professional staff! Very good service especially with over 20 people in our party! Will come back for sure! read more

The service is always outstanding and the food can be so so and then it can be great ....the real issue I have is the sticky tables and chairs. I'm not sure what happened varnish? cleaning product? but I really can't go in there and sit and enjoy myself because I'm sticking to the table and chairs read more

With a heavy heart I write this review. We have been going to Teofilos for 30 years but will never go back. $36 for 2 enchilad plates. Dry enchiladas and what chile was in there, was watered down. Terrible slop. read more

It's a very rare occasion that I am in the Los Lunas area. One of my friends from work wanted to hang out and treated me to lunch here. When we arrived there was a 20 minute wait but luckily with each other's company the time flew by. The staff was very friendly and covid compliant. Everyone wore masks. They had an extensive menu with a variety of New Mexican entrees. I was torn between fajitas, the gccb burger, and the burrito. All sounded good. I ended up going with the fajita plate. It's rare I get fajitas and I was sold on that. The food came out in a timely manner. The staff kept checking on us and making sure our cups were always full. The fajitas were packed with juicy flavor. They marinated them well and it reflects in the juicy tender steak flanks. Combined with the tortilla, guacamole, sour cream and lettuce I couldn't stop after the first bite! The tortillas were fresh! Very home cooked style fluffy and soft! The sopapillas were so fluffy and steamy I thought I was about to go into a food coma as stuffed as I was! It was all so good! Next time I'm in Los Lunas I'll gladly be back! Plus it's across from the Luna Mansion which I've been wanting to check out for a number of years now! read more

I went this evening with my wife and was disappointed. We never got refills no offer of chips and salsa and the portions were meager. This has gone downhill read more

The food is pretty consistent and it's good. Service is ok it depends on when you go.

Went there today to celebrate a birthday. Got in was sat right away but...it seems we were thrown in the corner no one else there. Took about 10 minutes before anyone even acknowledged we were there. Food was good service was HORRIBLE!!! We've been there a few times before and had a great experience, maybe today was just an " off " day. But really no excuse for poor service!! read more

This was our second visit with plenty more to come I got the chili relleno combo (again) and it was awesome. read more

I'm surprised this restaurant doesn't have a higher score but then I read the bad reviews and they mostly make no sense. Everyone was SO NICE. The patio is open during COVID-19 and they are taking very clear precautions to keep people safe. Also the carne adovada was so good. Do go here and ignore anyone who tells you not to. read more

We took my mom out to dinner to Teofilos expecting the usual great meal. We were disappointed I ordered the steak fajitas my flat skirt steak was dry and almost burnt I ordered calabacitas, it was all corn with like 3 pieces of calabacitas. The portions for my mom's plate were very small. Not worth the money. read more

Best with our friends who live in Peralta! Love the big room as well as the food! Looking forward to the next visit there with our friends!! read more

The waitress was too in a hurry to pay attention to us much or for very long. I had to keep asking to get more coffee and she never offered water. The tortilla chips were old and stale. I couldn't enjoy any of them without the risk of breaking a tooth. I told the waitress that the chips were old and stale and should be thrown out. I was still charged $8.50 for guacamole old stale chips! She should have at least offered a discount, but she was too in a hurry to even pay attention. read more

Wonderful fajita salad, great service, and they let us sit and chat after we ate. The restaurant has a warm friendly ambiance. I highly recommend this restaurant. My friend mentioned that their chile was not too spicy and not too mild, the perfect heat. read more

Visiting my family from Maryland, we reviewed the dinner requirements...we can eat together as long as 1. everyone can make it, 2. I can have authentic Mexican food. They opted for Teofios, informing me this is their 'family go-to'. Entering the location, we had the most friendly waitress, she took time to chat; reviewing the menu, discussing specials, and even listening to a story our little cousin wanted to tell her. (so personable). I ordered the tamales platter, my husband the stuffed sopapilla. The chips and salsa were delicious-it took a lot of restraint not to fill up all my tummy space with them before dinner. The sopapillas were warm and flaky. The tamales had a great red sauce with a large amount of sides. Great meal, great time! read more

Haven't been here in a couple of years and it was just as good as I remembered. We ordered the a la carte carne burrito and the a la carte chicken enchiladas. Both dishes were amazing. The Red Chile had a bit of a kick to it but had really good flavor. The green Chile was very flavorful and spicy. The sopapillas were just like I like them, just the right amount of doughyness with crisp outside. So delicious! read more

This place is great. One of my new favorite restaurants which has been around for awhile. This is an older house which is no big and the might play country music which does not matter as it's only for background noise. This place has amazing green chili, tamales and sopapillas. We tried several platters from their vegetarian tamales, regular pork tamales and their Pollo Hortencia and their guacamole. We smothered our dishes in the mushroom green chili. It was all amazing. Anyone that bashes this place for anything other than their food is morons. This place is rustic but the food makes up for it. read more

A few years ago, I would have given Teofilo's five stars but no more. The food is fine if you stick with the typical New Mexican fare (enchiladas, rellenos, etc.). But the fajitas that I ordered there recently were a joke, despite being listed as a Teofilo's specialty. I just got a plate of chicken and refried beans (mostly beans) with no bell peppers or onions. It came with only two tiny flour tortillas. Another thing that sticks in my craw is that chips and salsa are no longer complimentary and now carry an extra charge of five dollars. Yikes! Even my server looked a little bit embarrassed when she broke the news to me about this. I know inflation has taken its toll on the restaurant industry but Teofilo's should really take a look at the direction they have gone in. I ate at Teofilo's twice this month when I was passing through town. I used to sometimes drive to Los Lunas from Albuquerque just to eat at Teofilo's but I doubt I would do this today. read more

RED CHILI "LIKE TIA USED TO MAKE" My family is from Ohio. The closest they got to New Mexican was "chili soup" with macaroni. Yep, not anything like New Mexican. But, my husband introduced me to green chilies and makes great New Mexican food. Tia is 89 years old. For the last 15 years, I have heard how great her cooking was ... was because her health has prevented her from cooking and me from sampling her legendary cooking. Except that yesterday, everyone at our table of three ordered the tacos with carne adovada loaded with red chili. And, my husband said it was just like Tia used to make. A couple of interesting notes: New Mexican food is like a good beef stew ... it's not about plating, it's about eating. But, at Teofilos, they put effort into the plating. Also, when they asked whether we wanted crispy or soft taco shells, crispy didn't mean corn. The fry on the tortillas was perfect. For me personally, I loved the art. Their art is not like the typical "artist of the month" variety. They must have a curator. The painting of the little girls doing first communion was done in a surreal style, instead of being a portrait. read more

Love this place! The food is great. The ambience is wonderful. I am not from the Southwest so the chili is way too hot for me but that is the story in most places I go to here. My NY taste buds can't take it. The foos is so tasty that you don't need to smother it with chili anyway. Love it. read more
