Leading up to the event, she was responsive and patient with all our planning changes and communication. With her menu, she accommodated our group's dietary restrictions, and was super flexible with all of our requests. Every single bite of her food was out of this world, and she was just an incredibly delightful and sweet person. It's typically hard to please a group of 15 women, but Chef Christina knocked it out of the park. I cannot recommend her enough!

Chef Christina and her sous-chef did not disappoint. They were so nice and professional and their food was amazing! We had southwestern shrimp cocktail, spinach artichoke dip, Santa Fe salad and flank steak with the most amazing chimichurri sauce I have ever had. We ended the meal with a cinnamon choco flan that was so delicious. My whole group was so full and happy that we decided to do this. It was a great experience and so glad we did it!!

My mom wanted to celebrate her…read morebirthday in Taos with her closest friends and my sister and I wanted to throw her a special dinner to celebrate. We came across Chef Kualani's page and I am endlessly grateful that we did because the entire process could not have been more perfect. From the very beginning, Kualani was incredibly warm, communicative, and endlessly accommodating. She was open to any requests we had but also came up with the most unbelievable seasonal menu for the dinner (because I had no idea where to start). Dealing with her was a pleasure each and every time and she helped me go through all the details so that nothing was forgotten. And the dinner.... THE DINNER. The food was absolutely incredible. I'm still thinking about her spring pea soup with truffle oil. Every course was fantastic. But Kualani is not just a chef, she is a true hostess. She and her partner Richard came into our AirBnb and handled literally EVERYTHING. She brought beautiful plates and flatware so we didn't have to rely on the AirBnb's stash. She decorated the table. She even made my niece a grilled cheese sandwich while she was prepping. And then, at the end of one of the best meals of my life, they cleaned everything up and left the kitchen better than they found it. Having worked in restaurants and catering for many years, I know first-hand that chefs are not always hospitable. It is a completely different skill set and it's the reason restaurants need a front-of-house staff. But Kualani is the rare exception that is truly capable of curating a perfect evening. She has the most amazing energy and could not have been happier with our entire experience. The dinner absolutely made my mother's birthday and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I wish I could give zero stars, but unfortunately that is not an option. Our family hired him for…read morethanksgiving dinner 2024 and he never showed up until the day AFTER. After waiting for HOURS on thanksgiving and weird vague phone calls, he had random Chinese food delivered to our house that gave us all food poisoning. He showed up the next day with all store bought food (that he claimed he cooked from scratch.) For the price that was paid, this was completely unacceptable. The kitchen was left completely dirty and destroyed. He did not cook a single thing on the menu that we had given. He was wasted and left all of his shooters behind, along with all the packing of store bought goods that he came out and told us he made from scratch. Complete joke and a waste of your money. He also never sent back the deposit or any money and totally ruined our family Thanksgiving.

Had a very delightful dinner there lastnight. There was a rather large birthday gathering. but…read morebesides that was just us and another table. and it was the last hour they were open. The birthday cake looked great, and the server served it up, and snapped a group photo.. We ordered the empanadas, and a tamale. and they were out of the fish, but they had lamb chops. The empanadas were room temperature. which at first i kinda wanted hem warm, but after the first bite the complaints melted away into sounds of appreciation for the flavors. and the deep lovely red chile sauce with it. and my only complaint was that they were then gone! Nom Nom Nom.. The lamb had just a teeny bit of muttony flavor and a perfect sear. we split the 2 lamb lolly pops. and spent plenty of time cleaning the rib. the glaze was fantastic! the potatoes and calibicitas were also super flavorful and delightful! Came with a side of butternut puree that was so smooth. and also perfectly spiced. My companion hates vinegary salad dressings, but the side salad that came with the Tamale, was lovely, just the right amount of oil and umami flavors, and only a hint of maybe lemon? for the acid. we both enjoyed it quite a lot which is saying something for a salad. The tamale. was cute in its pooked open wrapper. we left it inside and quite enjoyed picking out the delightful masa. my only complaint was i think we should have asked for spoons. as a fork is not the best way to pick a tamale out of the wrapper. (or we could have dumped it out. but once again it was cute as served. I would have preferred meat to the tamale. but really enjoyed it as it was too. Lastly on the way out we got a choke cherry tart, and a butterscotch bunt cake to go.. which we ate later.. both were great! We will need to return and try more dishes. and the desert Empanada, (they were sold out) and likely i will update to a 5 star. Fyi looks like they kinda run as two different kitchens, Snapdragon Tea, in the mornings, and Mila's Mesa at night. definitely going to have to go and try out one of the tea time reservations.

I attended Mila's Mesa opening night this past October. It was superb. The place was buzzing! And…read morethe food was superb! So I had to return. I've been back a couple of times since and the food never disappoints. The butternut and sage bucatini pasta is delish. The chicken posole verde has to be the best comfort food in town! And the Peruvian chicken is to die for! Other favorites of mine are the blue cornbread and the biscochitos. A couple of times I've been pleasantly surprised by the music performances Mila's Mesa offers in its simple and homey atmosphere. For me, the attentive service from Emma and Alex - my servers on different occasions - complemented the excellent food and warm environment. Can't recommend Mila's Mesa enough! I think it's a great new asset and option in Albuquerque 's Nob Hill!

We were playing cards when he arrived and he actively chatted about games with us all the while preparing our food from scratch in our kitchen. He never missed a beat. I really appreciated his ability to just fit into our space. It made everyone comfortable and excited about the meal. Chef Bud is clearly an expert in his field. He flawlessly explained all the recipes, going so far to even tell us where the cheeses or meats originated from. He accommodated allergies we had (dairy and fish). Prior to coming to our house, he provided wine recommendations that would pair well with our menu selections. Each meal was visually mouthwatering and while he has many entrees to pick from, clearly his beef tenderloin is a 5 star Michelin entree! We just couldn't get enough!!! When I went on and on about the leeks he offered the recipe to me. I especially appreciated that. He was polite and cheerful through the whole experience and visited with us like we were family. But make no mistake, he clearly has skills and knows his way around in the kitchen. He and Hazel clearly have a routine setting up, preparing and cleaning up everything; they even started the dish washer. I would highly recommend Chef Bud for any occasion! You will not be disappointed!!!
