    Great good. A bit high priced for burritos. Check the hours. I love this place but it comes with challenges. They are my favorite handheld burrito in ABQ, and I have tried many. I love the food and have tried different ones and love them all. It is the queso cheese sauce and coin tater tots that makes them exceptional for my tastebuds. They do run higher $ than most handheld burritos and this can limit how often I go. The other barrier for me is the hours. They already have shortened hours closing at 2pm. And I have been by close to 1:45 and they were already closed. Same in the AM. I have gone twice before work and the place is dark even an hour after the posted open time. Over all is is well worth a try sometime but hard to make a regular place.

    Churro donut  yum! $1.50 ea

    I dropped off my dog for grooming at a business nearby and was trying to find a place around the area to kill some time while he's getting cleaned up..and decided to check out ABQ Burrito since it was one of the business nearby and had good ratings. While the breakfast burrito (~$5-6) was just ok but in a good size for the price (mind you, I'm never really a big fan of burrito), the churro donuts ($1.50 ea) were 5 stars (taste, price) to me. If I were to go back, no questions asked, I would definitely go for the churro donuts again. On the day I stopped by, I got 3 of them just to try..and ended up finishing all 3 of them by mid day! eek! That's how much I enjoyed those! Normally, I would rate this kind of place 4 stars (round down from 4.5 stars). However, the service was top notch from everyone I interacted with! The cashier lady was so polite and gave me ample of time time to decide what to order; she also offered to put my to go churro bag on the warmer while I ate my burrito in store. A gentleman (either a store manager or the owner) also was friendly! He greeted me and asked how I was doing and if I needed any help as I was enjoying my meal/time there! I would definitely stop by ABQ Burrito again for churro donuts the next times I drop by for some yummy munchies again! Thank you for such a great service and hospitality that permeated to every single person I interacted with while at the store!

    Recently spotted this little hide away burrito place. I drove past here knowing I wanted to come back. This morning was the day. The dining room had one gentleman enjoying his breakfast in the spacious dining room. The young man helping me just patiently waited as I pondered the menu with its savory selection of burritos. I finally settled on the carnitas. I have no regrets and completely thrilled with its moist and perfectly seasoned carnitas. I chose green chile to enchanted the flavor. The chile has a fantastic flavor with a tiny bite. It nibbles on your tastes buds leaving you wanting more. Can't wait to visit again and try another flavor!!

    Sloppily wrapped burrito

    *Mediocre food, terrible service, and sloppy presentation* Today was the first time I have ever been to this restaurant. First I called in the order and it was clear that the person on the phone did not know what they were doing because they were asking for help the entire time. So while waiting to place the order I kept hearing "can you help me with this?" several times before someone did. I walk into the restaurant to pick up my order and it's practically empty but no one greeted or acknowledged me. I told them I was there to pick up my order and the lady gave it to me and charged me. After paying she was distracted and I stood there for nearly a minute trying to figure out what to do. I finally just grabbed my stuff and said "thanks" and walked away. The manager who had been there the entire time finally paid attention and asks her "does she have everything she needs" and he asks me if I need anything else. I told him I would like my receipt. He seemed frazzled and frustrated as he tried to help me. He even rudely asked "name?!" when I told him I wanted my receipt. I left feeling frustrated and dismissed. In terms of the burrito it was sloppily wrapped and extremely salty. I think I'd rather go to the food truck that's just up the street. They may have better services. I will not be coming back to this place.

    This place IS New Mexico food. I was skeptical at first because I have my New Mexico favorites, but I ventured out and tried something new. This place is incredible. I got the burrito bowl (trying to cut carbs ) and the flavor was amazing. Cheesy, spicy, and savory! I will definitely be back here!

    Delicious burrito bowls. Churro donuts will leave your head spinning in taste bud heaven. Same goes for the raspberry chimis. Oh my good. So God good.

    Burritos No Chili. 3 $6 burritos but receipt total was $24 not sure how that happens.
    Keith S.

    After the initial visit and the Order not being correct they did correct the order and the food was made well. They still need to correct the prices on the menu. Says $6 for a burrito but charging $7. Please show some price integrity. Fix you board not w even worth $6.

    We got a sausage and bacon burrito and they were both delicious! You can tell the green chile is fresh, it has a great kick to it. Also would recommend the churro doughnut

We ate from the border crossing past El Paso all the way to Taos, Santa Fe, and Albuquerque. And I'm sure we missed a ton of great places, but that being said, the places we did try... yikes! We rolled the dice on this place. At first I was like, "Great, another place that is going to give us a premade tortilla and some bland combination of stuff in the tortilla..." Now look... this is not a Michelin-starred place, nor is it Michelin-recommended. It's not going to be a spiritual experience. It's not going to make you think differently about a taco, an enchilada, or anything else on their massive menu. But this place has heart, soul, and there's a lot of hustle. The tortillas are made fresh, right there behind the counter (i.e., you can literally watch them crank them out), and that makes a ton of difference. The food is honest, without pretense: fast and affordable. The ambiance is equally without pretense -- college kids, working-class folks, families, academics... The food was simple, spartan, and honest. No frills. Not extraordinary, but above average for the context. There is an ASTOUNDING amount of variety on the menu, and the combinations are infinite. I very much enjoyed my meal, I very much enjoyed the people-watching, and I very much enjoyed the experience. This was perhaps the best meal I had in New Mexico -- the cheapest, and the most memorable. If this place was a beer, it would be one of those local lager/pilsners that is as cheap as a Pabst/Coors/Miller but punches up way past the pretentious IPA scene. Thanks Frontier.

They initially brought out the queso in two small plastic to-go containers. I was not very thrilled with that. Then, when we polished them off, they brought out some more in a small serving dish. Why we didn't get the dish in the first place is beyond me. The queso was good, but I didn't think much of the chicharron. My husband like it though. The server did an excellent job keeping our drinks filled. We placed our order, and it wasn't too long that our orders came out. I got the combination plate, red sauce, ground beef taco.

The chile relleno was pretty good, and the cheese enchiladas were okay, even though it was like they were barely there. The pinto beans, not refried beans, were also enjoyed. What really set them apart was their papas - those potatoes were soft and super flavorful. Their red sauce was spicy and flavorful. The server brought out two fresh and hot sopapillas. We poured honey on those things bite by bite. I honestly think those were the best sopapillas I've had. I also used the restroom before we left. It might need a little updating, but it was certainly clean.

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.
