    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!

    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!

It was extremely busy and loud. I didn't wait in line to order, but it took them 50 minutes to prepare our salads. The service wasn't very friendly or helpful at first. I'm hoping it was because they were so busy. We had to leave 10 minutes after getting our salads so I had to take most of it home which was disappointing. On a good note, the salads were amazing. They were the best salads I've ever tasted which I why I'm giving three stars instead of less. My mom ordered the 505 Cobb and they forgot her chicken which was frustrating after waiting for nearly an hour. However, they did make up for it by making her extra chicken! And their chicken was absolutely delicious!! I ordered Persephone's Lunch which was outstanding. I added chicken to it which made it nearly $20 for a bowl salad. The seating is open and you order and sit down wherever you can find. The seating is hard on your backside and uncomfortable, especially when waiting for so long. The salads and fresh ingredients are delectable. If I ever return, it will be a to go order that is put in very early. Cheers!

The space is clean, welcoming, and easy to hang out in. The bowls are customizable with your choice of protein. We usually go with tofu, but they also offer chicken or steak, so there are solid options for everyone. The staff was more than willing to walk us through the menu. Everything came out fast, the prices were affordable, and the flavors were on point. 9/10 recommend.

We just had dinner here tonight, introducing two family members to the restaurant.... and we had a VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE. FOOD: I've appreciated their eggplant parmigiana in the past, a favorite of mine. Not tonight. It wasn't crispy and was served with very little sauce. It is served with a cacio de pepe linguine that was quite DRY. One family member had the lasagna. Presentation was nice but she found the dish lacking. She said it was OK but that she has had better... She's Italian and grew up with homemade lasagna. My partner and our second dinner guest had the spaghetti with meatballs dish. My partner has been a fan of this plate. He found the pasta a bit dry, short of sauce (again). Our dinner guest commented on how DELICIOUS the meatballs were, with which my partner agreed. For dessert we had the crème brûlée and the canelones. The crème brûlée tasted more like a pudding and a custard, and the flavor was very different from what were used to in the crème brûlée... Deficient. As for the cannelloni, the filling was tasty. The crusty wrap was very thick and dry. All in all quite a disappointing meal experience. AMBIENCE: A small comfortable neighborhood restaurant with charm. SERVICE: A big robust personality had our waitress. A bit on the loud side, a bit much on the robustness which felt a bit over bearing at the tableside. She herself was not unpleasant, but her presentation was a bit of nails on the chalkboard. To say the least, it was a disappointing experience tonight and as much as we have enjoyed this place in the past I'm not sure that we would return again. Especially disappointing because we live less than 2 miles away and it really has felt like our neighborhood place.

I was immediately impressed by the staff. you couldn't ask for better care and warmth. we participated in any activities that were offered and made new and lasting friendships along the way. thru those years there were difficult times. I guess the most difficult was the pandemic when we were limited to movement within the building but you would be amazed attn lengths the staff went to to keep us happy. delicious meals were delivered to our door ( we ordered from our menu's ). Games were played at each door if you wanted to participate and there were fun prizes. The weekly wine socials were brought to your door. Meanwhile, all the necessary health precautions were taken. The apartments were thoroughly cleaned weekly. When necessary, immunization clinics were brought to each resident and if you wanted to participate, they made it easy. Eventually that passed and life got back to normal but it's hard not to recognize the professional handling of that difficult time. The building was renovated and mad lovely for us. If anything needed to be updated, it was life moved along smoothly and I must admit, to my surprise. There were many staff changes but amazingly, the staff remained warm and caring. Deep down, I can forget that they are dealing with many different personalities and sometimes elderly people can be a tad grumpy. The loving staff simply overlooks the bad days. Food is always an issue but the menu is large with choices for everyone. If that isn't enough, there's a really great Bistro you don't want to mis. The activities are numerous and year round. Entertainment is provided on a regular basis and outings take place twice a week. All you have to do is signup. I can't close this without mentioning that my husband passed away in 2022. it was a difficult time made easier by the Fairwinds staff and especially the management. Being100% deaf and disabled, my family wanted me to move to assisted living despite my reluctance. Doralei warmly helped me make that decision to move and very graciously helped me find a comfortable apartment. The move was smooth and the golden treatment given by the health and Wellness staff has been perfect so I have to admit that it was the proper move. When I need appointments, the transportation service is wonderful and I can't forget to mention the wonderful drivers. Do you see how fortunate I furl that all those years ago, we made the decision to move here it was the perfect one. You can't go wrong.

    Extremely disappointing experience at Sixty Six Acres…read more We walked in and were seated immediately on the patio. I had read so many positive reviews and was genuinely excited to try this restaurant. Unfortunately, we walked out without ever being served. While we sat there, multiple staff members walked past our table without acknowledging us. No greeting. No water. No "someone will be right with you." Nothing. Then another couple arrived after us and was seated in the same small patio area. They were promptly greeted, given water, and attended to by a waiter who seemed more than happy to serve them. Meanwhile, we were still sitting there trying to figure out whether anyone planned to acknowledge our table. What made the experience even more uncomfortable was looking around and realizing there were no other Black or Brown patrons in the establishment at the time. I cannot definitively say race played a role in how we were treated, but given the stark difference in service between our table and the couple seated after us, I would be dishonest if I said the thought didn't cross my mind. We eventually got up and left. Good food reviews mean very little if certain guests can sit at a table while staff repeatedly walk past them as though they aren't there. Whether this was discrimination, poor training, or simply terrible service, the experience was unacceptable and left us feeling completely unwelcome. We came prepared to spend our money and enjoy dinner. Instead, Sixty Six Acres made it very easy for us to take our business elsewhere.
