Such a fun place to come with friends and share a bite! We sampled nearly half the menu and everything was delicious! Standouts were the Duck, the croquettes, and the potato's. Service was slow and a little forgetful, probably because we were tucked into the back. Really enjoyed our meal though! read more

Came her for Valentine's Day. It has a cool vibe , I wish it was a little darker in there and that would make it a little more romantic. They have a smaller menu than other small plate places we have tried but the food was very good. I highly recommend the carrots. I believe we got 3 different dishes and it was enough for 2 people. I don't remember the exact name but it was shrimp and that was also good. Definitely give this place a try read more

As an out of towner that frequents ABQ for business, I am always looking for delicious places to be able to unwind after a long work day. I am so happy I found Triana! The second I walked into the restaurant, the smell was immaculate... I knew I was about to eat good lol. I sat at the bar and Ben, who has to be one of the best bartenders I had met was so attentive and friendly. He made the experience 100 times better. I order the Pollo Asado al Ajillo and the Esparagos à la plancha. Holy smokes both plates were out of this world ! I legit cleared my plates. Do yourself a favor and try Triana, you won't be disappointed!! I can't wait to come back during my next business trip to try more items and to see Ben! read more

Hey Albuquerque - want something fun and different and quire excellent (and you get to try a variety of food that is a great mix as it is a Spanish style small plate restaurant- you should be beating down the doors of Triana. We were visiting Albuquerque with family and ended up eating here two nights in a row. First, greeted by the owner who was quite gracious and clearly loved what he was doing - Sat in the bar area and the cocktail bartender and staff were attentive and helpful with food ideas. And the hand crafted and creative cocktails were great - especially the Spanish Old Fashioned and Brown Butter Old Fashioned. - we also tried the wine flight which was okay but the cocktails were excellent. For food we tried the Pinxto De Lomo (beef cubes so good) and Pinxto de Pulpo (excellent charred Octopus with Potatoes); the Spanish Olives in Lemon and Fennel "oh my" - and the white anchovies. The second night we had the Salmon Marruecos and the Crispy Duck. The Salmon was especially a treat. So - ABQ - try something different - make this a destination place during the week. Worth the visit. read more

The food was outstanding- made fresh and ingredients were spot on! Our waiter Sean was knowledgeable, friendly fly and very accommodating! read more

We loved this authentic Spanish tapas restaurant on Knob Hill in Albuquerque. Such a nice switch from the constant Mexican cuisine, we really enjoyed their fresh, thoughtful and authentic touches. We shared several dishes, as well as a pitcher of yummy sangria. Highly recommend!! read more

Stopped by Triana on a Friday night around 7 pm after flying in to Sunport. There is decent street parking by the restaurant. The restaurant has a very modern and intimate vibe, with low lighting and smaller tables. There were several open tables, so we got seated immediately and placed our orders. We started with the pan con tomate, a classic Spanish tapa. The presentation was fantastic -- I thought it was super creative to have the olives on a skewer sticking out of the bread. I personally enjoyed how the bread was slightly over toasted, giving the bread so much crunch. Next was the Filet de Lomo, or steak skewers. The meat was incredibly tender and cooked to a great medium rare. I absolutely loved the green sauce it was paired with, it gave such a garlicky? kick to the dish. We then moved on to the Rabo de Toro, or oxtail. The presentation of this dish was amazing, with fried onions on top of the oxtail and mashed potatoes. The oxtail was very tender and tasty with the espangole, and the mashed potatoes were very rich and smooth. Next was the tartar -- since they ran out of tuna, salmon was used instead. Despite the switch, the fish was still great: the fish was very fresh and soft, and there was a lovely tang due to the lemon. We finished off with the glazed duck breast. The dish arrived very warm, and the meat was very fresh. I will say that with the skin of the duck breast on, the dish was quite salty (but I removed the skin and the duck breast was perfect). I found the raisin-orange-lettuce salad was very unique, but a great compliment to the salty nature of the duck. Triana was an amazing welcome into Albuquerque! The dishes had amazing flavors and beautiful presentation. I will definitely look to come back the next time I'm in New Mexico! read more

We went here for date night, and we had a lovely time. Every plate we had was so delicious! I have celiac and the server was incredibly kind when I said everything we intended to order tonight would be gluten free. I also loved that the gluten-free items were clearly marked on the menu. When I had a question about the menu, our server didn't hesitate at all to ask the chef. I truly felt welcome and not at all like a burden, which sometimes happens at other restaurants. I also loved that they had mocktails on the menu! As a mom, I also can't say how much I appreciate that there was a changing table in the bathroom, though I wouldn't recommend bringing a toddler if you can avoid it. I don't think they'd enjoy it as much as the adults would. Better to get a sitter, because it really is the perfect spot for date night or happy hour with your friends. read more

Wow! Cant believe I'm in ABQ and not Spain. This place is amazing! We sat on the patio and had sangria, papas bravas, steak bites and other tapas. The food was outstanding and the service was equally spectacular (thanks Sean) Make a reservation and gather your friends and family for a culinary experience that will take you to Spain! Buen Provecho read more

Came for Valentine's Day with friends. We're all tourists. So glad we booked reservations here. The restaurant is adorable, located on a corner. The staff was friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The menu was amazing. It was so hard to choose what to try. We started with the asparagus small plate (probably the best we've had anywhere), and 2 different bruscetta choices, all shared among us. Very yummy! Then each couple ordered the NY Strip steak to share. It was a perfect size to share and beyond delicious. I'm still dreaming about it! The 4 of us shared the Pavlova dessert and that was more than enough for the 4 of us. Wine selections were appropriate and also very good. It could be a little "warmer" decor-wise and temperature during a cold winter night read more

One of my favorite spots in town! We come semi frequently for the happy hour and are never disappointed. I love the location, and the ambience and everyone we bring here inevitably asks about the little tapas place we took them to. Our favorites are the albondigas, berenjenas and the zanahorias. The meatballs are paired with a great sauce. The eggplant is always fried to perfection, drizzled with a tangy pomegranate molasses that elevates the simple plate. The carrots are cooked beautifully, lightly charred and paired with a harissa that gives body to the smoke. Service is always fabulous and my cup is always full, whether it's water or their sangria. read more

came with family, and had a great evening. Food was amazing great seasonal cocktails and our server Serena was attentive and informative. Fun little tapas type place definitely worth a visit read more

Overall it's a solid place with a lovely menu. I personally didn't care for the mushroom croquettas. We were a group of 7 and also ordered the shrimp, beet salad, shishito peppers, and the albondingas and the tabla de jamon y Queso. I asked our waiter to hold the blue cheese from the board since I'm allergic and he got very confused by my request and didn't want to make any modifications to the board even though I am specifically allergic to bleu cheese. The food was delicious overall except the mushroom croquetas, my favorite was the albodingas and shrimp. The entire restaurant feels very different inside from before when it was the taco spot. They really did a nice job remodeling and decorating. I liked the drink especially the pink hibiscus lime vodka cocktail. Will be back to try more tapas! read more

Extensive renovations and remodeling last year; have resulted in a chic, comfortable venue. I went tonight during happy hour and stayed for live music. The staff were friendly and accomodating, and service was excellent. The tapas menu is extensive and varied; clearly I'll go back to try more. The happy hour is a bargain! Three different tapas at five dollars each, reduced prices on select beverages. Live music tonight was flamenco guitar by Joaquin Gallegos a top notch performer with amazing dexterity. Sound level throughout was good; on occasion a bit hard to hear the guitar. Conversations everywhere were certainly lively. I love the decor and lighting. Another jewel in the Albuquerque restaurant crown. read more

Very lovely restaurant! The inside has a couple seating area options, the main dining area or the bar. We chose to sit at a high top table in the bar area. It was cozy, welcoming, and warm. They offer some very tasty happy hour options from 4-6pm. We ordered everything on the food section for happy hour plus the shrimp from the regular menu. The presentation and the flavors were amazing! I look forward to going again and trying some more off the main menu. read more

Stopped here with a friend after having dinner down the street. We just really wanted to see Triana since we had not been there before. It's so nice. A contemporary no frills and kind of stark but clean place. Small tables. Nice bar area with booths and tables. They have a happy hour menu which is always a nice thing. Small plates and tapas are featured on the menus. We had one dish and wine / espresso. Service was very friendly. Not a stuffy pretentious place - very comfy. I will enjoy going back again. read more

We went there for my birthday dinner. It was about seventy dollars plus tip for four tapas (enough for two people), dessert (shared), and two drinks (one each). I would recommend getting a reservation there, but it's not completely necessary probably. The ambiance was nice and the server was cheery. read more

We stopped in on a whim after driving by previously and thinking it looked cute. So glad we did! Our waiter Chris was so much fun to talk to and provided some fantastic food and wine recommendations. The porrón added a fun new experience to the night. We'll be back! read more

My friend recently got engaged so we decided to take her out to a nice dinner. I love tapas and every dish I got was delicious. Not pictured but we especially liked the croquetas. It was so creamy and delightful. We also really liked the Tartar de Atún y Aguacate. The crème brûlée was very good as well. The server and staff was very helpful and friendly. The inside looks pretty sophisticated and pretty. I'd love to come again! read more

June 19,2025. Shrimp tapas were undercooked. Beets tasted canned, Sherry was old. My meal of Oxtail was the worst. One oxtail in a very small bowl with about three tablespoons of mashed potatoes. Should have been TWO oxtails. I had three small bites of meat and the rest of it was gristle, bone and fat. $30!! read more

Triana is very unique and a nice little taste of Spain. Its has a very intimate relaxed environment to easily enjoy conversations with friends or family. The food is over the top amazing! My sister from Fort Worth who enjoys lots of fine dining there was totally impressed by the quality of food. The staff is top notch and catered to our very need. the bartender, Ben, was especially pro and personally came by our table. If you eat out, you have to try this place! read more

Wow we were having a girls night and walked over here after doing a craft down the street. We came in 30 minutes before closing on a Thursday evening. It was late so there were only a couple of other tables seated. We sat at a table in the bar. The atmosphere was great and our server who was also the bartender was fun and friendly. I loved the pacing of how they brought out our dishes. We ordered 6 dishes in total. Three came out first, we finished those, two more came out, and then the last dish came. Even though we came very late in the evening we didn't feel rushed. We had the tempura eggplant, fried potatoes, meatballs, sautéed mushrooms, grilled artichokes, pan con tomate (like a bruschetta but so much more amazing.) Everything was perfectly seasoned and well-balanced. We all had different favorites and agreed we would all be coming back as soon as possible. It seems their menu rotates frequently so I can't wait to try their other items. Their dinner dishes looked great and I'd like to try those too! read more

This is a terrific restaurant concept that was much needed in this town. Great tapas, wonderful wine, sherry and cocktails plus attentive but unobtrusive service. Why not 5 stars? After a wonderful meal, we opted for the amazing olive oil cake with apples and caramel. Nothing better than dessert and coffee, right? But to my shock and dismay, they have NO coffee on the menu! What gives Triana?? read more

There were 9 of us for dinner on 12/22/23 and 2 people shared the meatballs. Both of them woke at 4-5am with vomiting and diarrhea. The rest of us mostly enjoyed the food except for the creme brulee which was not prepared properly and was gritty. read more

Fantastic tapas, excellent cocktails and sangria, and very friendly service from Nemali. Combine all of that with a beautiful night on the patio and it made for a perfect evening. Thanks for the excellent selection of vegetarian options. Highly recommended! read more

SO MUCH POTENTIAL! First, the place looks great. They did a really good job with the remodel, and made some great choices. The wine list and drinks list is great. Service was good too. Good ambiance all around. The tapas were... uneven. The shishito peppers were the best things we had. I would NOT recommend the meatballs. We'll go back, but we hope it's better next time. read more

the food at this establishment is reasonable, but the atmosphere in the dining room feels like a cafeteria. Even though the restaurant was 1/2 empty, the manager refused to seat us... it is apparent that the waitstaff needs some 101 training in customer service. We will not be returning to this establishment. read more
