    My husband and I came here for breakfast on a weekend and the place wasn't busy at all but had a cool vibe to it. It's a hole in the wall place off of Central but the waiter was super nice. The menu is a bit small but had enough options, the food was delicious and the green chile had a bite.

    My first visit to this establishment was May 6, 2025. There is nearby parking on the street or in parking garage is not too far away. I went slightly after the lunch hour, so it was not crowded. I am told it can be crowded at lunchtime. There are many good choices New Mexican food choices on the menu. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Decor is casual. I had the bean burrito with side of Mexican rice. My dining companion had enchiladas. We each agreed that our food was delicious. Prices are excellent.

    Delicious family friendly place. Ordered chicken fajitas and wasn't disappointed.

    Easy walk from the Clyde hotel. Service was very friendly. Definitely a family run joint with caring people cooking and working. Menu wasn't too big or small. Lots of choices. Highly recommend the red beans. So flavorful!

    Handheld Breakfast Burrito

    This picture really doesn't do it justice, but the breakfast burrito was fire . So let me tell you I was on a little obsession about finding a good breakfast burrito in Albuquerque and I tried at least 5 highly rated ones. None of them were as good as the one from baca boys. Their burrito was cheesy, moist, very easy to eat and full of flavor. I just can't say enough good things about it.

    Excellent! Carne Adovada breakfast plate was amazing. Meat had some bite but just right. Potatoes were good. Eggs cooked perfectly. Beans were right. Tortilla was so so. Not too much flavor. Coffee food. Friendly. I enjoyed! Small breakfast menu but good. The handheld burrito was amazing. Only a take out item. But well worth it and the tortilla is perfect with that.

    Enchiladas Plate

    How does it keep getting BETTER? Never miss a chance to visit on annual ABQ trip. Somehow the calabacitas were even more glorious than last year. Fantastic service as always

    Chile Relleno and eggs. Sorry it was half eaten. ;-)

    Food was delicious. First time trying a chile relleno and eggs...it works! Friendly and quick service. If you are looking for a great place downtown - give it a shot. Next time I'll try lunch!

    Three days in a row. The club sandwich does not disappoint. The welcome and warmth from all those who work there is gracious and genuine.

The parking is a bit crazy, they do have someone trying to help direct traffic through the parking lot. If you don't want to brave that though, there's plenty of street parking. It's busy but there's a lot of indoor and outdoor seating and the turnover pace is pretty good. Things can be a bit loud if you hit the crowded times, but really it's a popular spot for good reason. I got the sweet potato hash and it had the perfect mix of veggies and eggs and was cooked just right. I also tried one of their tea blends and it really hit the spot. The staff is all very friendly and helpful as well and the food comes out quickly. Anyway, great experience as always at the Grove!

    Very fresh flavors and offerings here! Glad my bff recommended it after visiting 6 weeks ago, and…read moreperfect for a lunch time pit stop on the way from the airport to our hotel. The bread is clearly baked fresh and was nice and crusty on the outside and fluffy with the perfect chew on the inside. My mini me 1 inhaled her grilled cheese (of which my husband ordered the full size and also demolished his), and mini me 2 and I shared the toasted tuna melt. Good balance of tuna, celery, and bread ratio, but I didn't dig the olives in it. There's a mini kale salad that comes with entrees, and it was healthy and palatable for kale. We did end up balancing that green with the pistachio cruffin and pistachio chocolate chip cookie. Would definitely go back for the cruffin with its flaky layers and luscious pastry cream. Cookie was less impressive but still worth the impulse buy. Indoor and breezy outdoor seating available. Highly recommend!

    You know, when a deli that serves sandwiches has a line clear outside the door by 11:15 AM, there…read moreis probably a good reason. That is why we always arrive by 10:30. Seriously, Tully's is a great place to get lunch, pick up ready-made meals to take home, indulge in sweets, or listen to opera (did he just say opera?). Yes, opera with real Italian dinners ... stay tuned to their social media for the dates. We love coming here for all of the above. Great food, counter service, and sufficient tchotchkes to keep you entertained. Our highest possible recommendation. Come on down; we promise you'll like it. P.S. Try the Joe DiMaggio - it's terrific, and we're comin' back. Click the YouTube link below to see what we ate. https://youtu.be/4LotIHxltYo?si=e7Pz1JCTQ8iOpZQK

    I've been going here for almost 40 years - not sure what it's going to take to get it through my…read morehead that Tully's just isn't to my taste. Over the years I keep going back, about once a year: I've had their sandwiches, their pastries, their pies . . . all kinda "meh" and all priced pretty reasonably but not inexpensively. Sandwiches give you a lot of everything . . . except flavor. Pastries are . . . fine. Pies are . . . fine, and kinda small (and not inexpensive, maybe reaching towards pricey); it's the kinda thing you are willing to pay for in order to bring it to a gathering, only to find almost no one bothers to eat it. And so you don't bother. The cookies are pretty good, actually. (And, yes, I know Italian delis - my Italian grandparents brought me to them in New York when I was a child. However, I'm not judging Tully's against these (as in "it's not as good as Back East"), I'm just saying it never really turns my crank.) Today I had a hot chicken, cheese,onion and pepper sandwich, the Carmela. It was a lot of food. But . . . not a lot of flavor. A whole lot of drippy mess in the bottom of my basket, though: water absolutely sopped through the (completely unmemorable tasting) bread loaf and pooled at the bottom of my basket as I ate in. The potato salad served alongside was fine - like what you'd get at Albertson's. The chicken was tender and . . . essentially without flavor, not even salt. There had clearly been a little marinade (I could sense some oregano and maybe garlic in there) but man could this thing have used about five times as much seasoning and then a healthy dose of a vinegar/garlic/oregano dressing on top of it. Bland. Lots of food in that $17 (almost $25 with tip) sandwich, but not a lot of enjoyment. I've had other Tully's sandwiches (both for here and to-go) that were better, but I can't really recall any of them . . . and I _never_ rush back. Like I said, this is a place I think about ("Hey, I'm right nearby; I should try Tully's again!") about once a year . . . and then, meh. To be fair - I believe that I am pretty out in left field on this take: Tully's is popular and always hopping. Get here early unless you want to stand in line. I only had to wait about three minutes to order, but by the time I left at noon this Friday there was a line to order all the way from the counter to the door. In terms of the room, it's a deli. Reasonably well set out with a decent amount of seating set out well, as well as some outside seating that you might want to try when it's not in the nineties. You order at the counter, pay, go get your own fountain drink (they also have some beer and wine, which they will serve you), find a seat and they'll bring it to you. When you're done, you bus it yourself. Pleasant staff - I don't regret tipping, although they don't do much. (As others have mentioned, if you get a cup of water, Tully's generously gives you a decent sized Solo cup - another plus.) It's fine. If you go, at least get yourself some cookies - they're pretty good.
