Went through the drive thru which is pretty small, but worth it. Got a build your own burrito for the partner and a build your own bowl for myself. Whole beans, rice, cheese, potatoes, red chile for me (+ Xmas & eggs for the partner). The bowl is actually quite deep, though it looks small, and the burrito was quite feeling for my bottomless-pit-tummy-partner. The food is tasty, the chile is comparable to the best in Burque. The price was under $20. It hit the spot for hangover food. The staff at the drive thru were kind, order came out right. Is there some truth to things shrinking & costing more, yes. I've been getting burritos here since 2004... you can't leave without feeling like it hit the spot. You just might need 2 if you're big-hungry. Took the hangover right out of me! 9/10 recommend read more

Burritos Alinstante - A burrito and Meatless BYO - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Don't waste your money here. I spent $13 on three hard-shell tacos, and they were absolutely terrible. The food was bland, overpriced, and honestly not enjoyable at all. I'd choose Taco Bell over this place any day. I won't be returning. read more

I finally made the trek before work. I had really been looking forward to trying this place since folks had mentioned it was a go to spot for breakfast burritos. As the name says it was pretty quick for me to get the burrito I ordered and the folks were friendly. As delicious flavor wise, as the burrito was, (I ordered the #4 which included chicharrón, beans, papas and green chile.) I was pretty bummed that for $13 I could count the amount of chicharrón in it on one hand. I didn't even really find any papas in it either. I was a little disappointed. I'm not one to normally critique so hard but I guess I've gotten used to other spots chicharrón is pretty loaded into the burrito. read more

I had the chorizo breakfast Burrito snd it was great! I've been on a kick lately where I want to try all the breakfast burritos in Albuquerque and rate them. This one definitely made it on my top 4 out of 10 that I've tried so far. It was really really good, I would get it anytime. The tortilla was soft and tasted good, the eggs were soft and there was cheese and chorizo had good flavor. The temperature was perfect even though I got it for delivery. read more

Burritos Alinstante - Breakfast Burrito (Regular) - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Burritos Alinstante - A very small, $15+ burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Thai burritos we ordered them for work today and I got a vegetarian version which consisted of cheese, green Chile and potatoes! I would say the burrito #10 that I got was very delicious and careen Chile was on point and spicy just like any New Mexican likes it! The rest of my coworkers got meal burritos and all of them loved their options. Definitely a much better breakfast burrito option than regular fast food chains and from those around in this area. The service was great and speedy. The place seemed busy with hard workers that are attentive to customers orders and deliver high quality burritos. The place was welcoming and felt homey. So I went back and the posole with red chile is a must try! Very delicious! read more

Not ok to charge patrons double the cost for a burrito, that ALL other burritos offerings in Albuquerque charge less. I have paid $11 for a burrito the size of just slightly larger than a cracker from Burritos Alinsante, this is a disgrace and honestly the owner should feel ashamed to even be charging this way. The burritos here are just ok, nothing at all to write home about, and does not justify the cost, at all. Find anywhere else to spend your money at, seriously don't waste your money.. New Mexican are working way to hard for their money, to be spending $11 on a lack luster cracker burrito. read more

its expensive for a burrito ..........they charge you for the lettuce and tomato garnish! A smothered burrito with the $1.70 garnish will run you almost $20. Oh and the do not accept cash money , only credit cards The food is not all that bad just not worth what they are charging for it......... read more

I ordered the mini for almost $9 and holy moly guacamole! This was a disappointment. I've had their minis years before and never have they fit in the palm of my hand. Total rip off for $9. It was gone in 3 bites and still hungry. Wasn't the case before but geez, give me my $9 worth of burrito. I had a laugh showing the pictures to friends. I would not go back for their micro mini because that's what it is. Doesn't even make it to being a mini. I had to use a magnifying glass to find this "burrito". Could've played where's the burrito and never would have found it. read more

This place came highly recommended and the food didn't disappoint! We ordered take-out close to when they closed so they were out of some things but we got a tamale smothered with red chile w/garnish - this specifically was a 10/10 for me. Super authentic, full of flavor, not dry and I was relieved my initial order was out because this was really filling. We also ordered the Carne Adovada, Potatoes and Cheese and the Potatoes and Cheese, smothered red chile and garnish. All the food was extremely flavorful and delicious! Would recommend. The service was speedy! read more

Burritos Alinstante - What are disgrace? They ought to be ashamed of themselves - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We enjoyed some delicious New Mexican food tonight thanks to the True ABQ promo. We've had their food at the State Fair before and always liked it, but we haven't eaten there in a while. I didn't want anything spicy so I ordered a burrito with chicken, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream. It was really good - juicy chicken and fresh, crisp veggies. You can add chile, salsa, or pico de gallo if you want to spice yours up. My husband had the Alinstante plate with carne adovada, a tamale, beans, and rice, smothered in green chile and topped with lettuce, tomato, and cheese. I managed to grab a couple of bites; the carne was flavorful with medium heat. The green chile was also flavorful but too hot for my preference. My husband loved it. I ordered mine to go and received great service from Tammi. I'd recommend Burritos Alinstante for tasty, reasonably priced food. read more

Note to self. When the viejita making your burritos says the green has a bite today.....IT WILL BURN YOUR MOUTH! But damn, this was an amazing burrito. Steak with carmelized onions, scrambled eggs, whole beans, cheese and some FIRE hot green chile! My son got taters instead of beans, so mine was obviously better! But man! This may mean the return of #burritopalooza! I have to admit that in a lifetime love affair with burritos, this one is in the top 5 ever! read more

It's so hard to find something fast in this area. Have tried this place twice now and have not been impressed. First time I ordered green Chile stew and the meat was low quality and reminded me of school cafeteria meat. I don't think there were potatoes in it or they were little old boiled potato pieces. I can't remember. Tried something else this time. Tacos. Ordered steak since the ground beef was not good last time. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be carne seca or what but it was extremely dry. Almost like reconstituted meat like someone had added a little water to some old dehydrated meat. Served in old el Paso taco shells. For $13, I really expected more. I will definitely not go back. If it takes a few extra minutes, I wlll drive farther southwest for better quality and value. The salsa is pretty good, I will say, but that's it. read more

Bowl Portions / Price . Couldn't eat the tortilla. Bought a breakfast burrito bowl. Upcharged for that, added guacamole for $1.99 & a couple of other toppings. The result is a tiny-burrito sized bowl with missing guacamole. It was $12.99 for that. Might as well go to Maverick. Never again. read more

We don't get to this part of town frequently so this was a great chance to try someplace new. The reviews gave me an idea of what to expect. But being here was better. We ordered a frito pie and #2 burrito with drinks. The frito pie came topped with ground beef, shredded cheese, onions, lettuce, tomatoes and red chile. The red chili was not overly spicy and added to the flavor. My burrito was STUFFED & delicious. I was amazed that the streak, green chile, tomato, onion & guacamole overflowing the flour tortilla was actually closed and rolled. The green chile didn't overwhelm the steak and added to the flavor. Everything else complimented the flavor. A great lunch! read more

So flavorful!! I don't have a picture of my burrito because it smelled so good that I instantly devoured it!! I was glad to see that they can accommodate vegan since you can build your own. I got mine with potatoes, refried beans, green chile, tomatoes and onions. It was delicious!! The green chile was definitely the highlight so tasty and the right amount of heat! The service was also great and the staff was super welcoming and friendly on this early Monday morning. I would definitely recommend! read more

Ok so disappointed! This place really not worth the money! The burritos $12!!! I don't mind paying that mount for food that's worth it or amounts! How about $7 for 6oz guacamole?!

I skipped the line at the drive through and I walked in for take out. Right when I walked in I was quickly greeted and my order was taken right away. I ordered 3 breakfast burritos and a tamale. While my food was being prepared the preparer was confirming my requests and everything was on point. As usual the burritos were very tasty, and the green chiles had the right amount of heat. HOT!!!

Burritos Alinstante - Menu - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I can't believe how much a mini burrito cost here. It's not even the size of a Taco Bell bean burrito. $9 for 4 bites of a beef burrito. Burritos Alinstante, just charge one price for a regular size burrito or at least be fair on the price and size of your burritos. read more

First let me start by saying I do enjoy Burritos Alinstante. I have gone here for years and will probably give it another chance. However, I have to ding them on three things. 1. Credit card only? Very inconvenient. 2. They half heartedly "wrap" their burritos. They fall apart and make a mess everywhere. 3. I asked for easy beans last time and they overpowered my burrito with them instead, also the potatoes were undercooked and very hard....probably even raw. Please better educate your employees, especially the ones on Broadway. read more

Burritos Alinstante is delicious. I am surprised at some of the bad reviews. We had a red chile chicharron burrito and a make your own breakfast burrito. My family and I LOVED their red chile. I suppose the menu is a little on the pricier side, but I am okay with paying a little extra for a burrito that is THAT good. We do not get the chance to go to Burrito Alinstante often, but when we do, it sure is a treat. read more

Best local New Mexican fast food joint. Hands down. Can be a little pricey though. Hence the 4 stars. $10 for nachos. But they were delicious... so much meat that I'd prefer more chips. Not a terrible problem to have though. The woman running the drive-thru was super friendly. The first time I came here I did sit at the menu sign awhile before realizing there was no microphone or speaker linked to it as one must order through the window. Cool new thing, they have a rewards program that uses your phone number to track your points. Looking forward to my free item. read more

Their burritos are delicious with just the right amount of spice. Wish they were open longer hours.

The food here is really good and that's the main thing. I'm all about breakfast burritos and theirs is high in my list of local favorites. It's like if you took golden pride/the frontiers style but made it much much much better. All their burritos are great though and they give them to you with a paper towel like a Albuquerque homemade. In fact they taste very homemade. The downsides here are few. It's a little confusing to order the first time. You're supposed to drive up to the window directly which is unusual. The menu sign doesn't have a speaker, but then shouldn't it be closer to the window when you order? At least there could be some instructions. However once you've done it once you've got it. Over all they have lots of ways to order and pay but it's not clear how any of it works together so really my only complaint is I don't know all the best ways to get their awesome food. Go here. Learn their ways. It's worth it. read more

The food was fine, but if don't want to get charged $16 for 4 bites of chicharrones and guacamole, you should find another place to eat. read more

Burritos Alinstante - Chicharrones with cheeese & a side of Guacamole - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Online order to go. 1 mini build your own, 1 regular build your own. The Chile was very good! All filling was fresh and flavorful. On the downside the mini was $10.95 and the regular was $15.50. Both burritos were same size and they were quite shiesty with their protein. I always hear extremely good reviews and had to try it out. Disappointed because I could have gone down the street to the Burrito Lady (business on Eubank) and had the same burritos for half the price and her burritos are damn good! Will I try Burritos Alinstante again? Sure because it was tasty, but only if I'm the area and will only get something basic and not smothered because their up charges for what you get is too much. read more

This place sucks! Staff are very rude! Not worth your time! The establishment is very dirty and substandard. Can definitely used an upgrade!

Burritos Alinstante is a classic in my mind. I have been coming here for years but never thought to write a review until now. I love that all of their burritos taste like my mom made it. I have a choice of what I want. I highly recommend their Carne Adovada burrito or their hamburger meat, potatoes, green chile, and cheese burrito. read more

By far, one of the worst burritos I have yet to enjoy. Had the ground beef, potato and cheese. Sloppy, messy and the to boot it is served wrapped in a paper towel. At least that did help to soak up some of the grease. Also had a tack. Just as bad. The two together came to $10.50! Are you kidding me. Also, just wanted water. 8 oz water .29. read more

They are super close to were I work and it's always a hit or miss. I usually go through the drive through (which you will have to be very patient, not for you if you are in a rush). I usually get the chicharrón burrito. There are times where is so yummy and times where I feel I got the end of the barrel. I truly wish they were more consistent. read more
