    I have loved this place for years and never got around to writing a review - today is the day! Delicias Cafe serves mouth watering authentic Mexican cuisine. Read that again - Mexican, not New Mexican. In other words you can find many tempting flavorful sauces and not just the standard red or green offered at most restaurants in town. I have never had anything I didn't like at Delicias. The caldo de rez (beef soup) is served with every meal but I often get the large entree serving because it is so amazing. Feels like it is healing me from the inside out every time. The chiles en Nogada are fantastic and a must try - chile rellenos but not fried, filled with ground hamburger, pine nuts, and spices, covered in a velvety walnut cream sauce and sprinkled with pomegranate seeds. The shrimp cocktail is also the best in town in my opinion and I've tried it at many many restaurants! On top of all this the staff is always friendly and take care to get your order right. Plus, the restaurant is an artistic delight to look at - colorful hand carved and painted chairs and tables, no two alike. Sometimes the service is a little slow but it's always worth the wait for such wonderful food. I love you Delicias Cafe!

    Spinach omelette
    Angie K.

    I met some friends here for brunch and had been excited to try it when I saw a new place had popped up in this location. The old restaurant that was in this spot was one of my absolute favorite brunch spots so I really wanted to see what the new owners had done. I wasn't disappointed, the decor is a lot of fun and the food was delicious. I tried the spinach omelette and it had lots of fresh veggies in it along with the hash browns and refried beans. The hash browns were done just right and nice and crispy and not oversalted or soggy! Our server was wonderful. Her English wasn't great, but that was fine, it gave me the opportunity to practice my spanish and she was quite patient with my flailing (and would switch to English if I really got lost). So let's just say both our language skills were good enough to get the meals ordered no problem. I think if you're a straight up English speaker you wouldn't have any issue either but I enjoyed the opportunity to practice. She was great about coming by and refilling the drinks and checking on us. The prices were completely reasonable and I will be back to try more things!

    Delicias is a good name for this restaurant.   I like the food and it couldn't have prettier seating which you'll see in the photos.  Chips and salsa come with the meal. So does a yummy vegetable, beef, and rice soup. I've never had that at a Mexican restaurant before.  I went today with a friend. We each got the Wednesday Special of 3 Tacos (chicken,  shredded beef, or ground beef) for $12.  It also came with rice and beans.  The salad was just a little shredded lettuce on top.  If you order the exact same thing on a different day without the Special, it would be $15.29 so I think it is a good deal.  I ordered one chicken and two ground beef.  The chicken taco was better.  The waitress was very nice and did a good job. The only thing I would change is that the prices, other than the Specials, are on the high side. Still, I'll be back many times.

    Perfect salsa

    Loved this place for breakfast!! Best we've had in Albuquerque. It is pricey for mexican food. Decor and booths were very colorful and fun to look at. Enchiladas Montadas ($14.54) - 2 eggs atop 3 enchiladas. Eggs were coked perfectly and oozed out all over the enchiladas....heaven! Huevos Divorciados ($13.24) - 2 eggs atop corn tortillas red and green sauce. Served with a corn chorizo quesadilla. Delicious!! Chips and salsa were so good we purchased some to go. Service was good but my wife did speak in spanish. I could see some reviews mentioned language barriers. We will be back!

    Coctél de camerón

    Cócteles de camarones are one of my favorite indulgences. IMHO, those from Cafe Delicias are perfect. They're a bit sweet, whereas other places tend towards spicy. Filled with nicely sized shrimp, cucumbers, and other tasty treats, I like to crumble up the chips they bring with their flavorful salsa and then eat the juice soaked chips along with the shrimp. They have a complete Mexican menu from breakfast to dinner. And the decor inside is beautiful!

    Chilaquiles Rojas. Dang!!
    Dan M.

    Hit this on the way back from Santa Fe to the ABQ airport based on great breakfast reviews. Warmly greeted by both the hostess and waitress. Bought out a small chips and salsa, very tasty. I had the Chilaquiles Rojas and they were so tasty. The red sauce was just a little spicy with a great flavor depth. The refried beans with a little red sauce was awesome for scooping up with a chip. Wife had the same thing but with verde sauce and she was in heaven. Great experience and pretty inexpensive. Great vibe to the place.

    Food is the most authentic Mexican food I've had in Albuquerque, not mention the most delicious. The atmosphere is great, the decor is eye catching and fascinating. Nothing to complain about the service. It was good! Definitely a place worth checking out

    Absolutely great tasting Caldo de Res.
    Norio H.

    One of the best, authentic Mexican restaurants in Albuquerque, in my opinion. This is not New Mexico-style food. The food here is definitely top-notch, if you are looking for real, country-style Mexican food from many, diverse regions of Mexico. Their Caldo de Res is absolutely delicious. Our favorite is Chiles Poblanos. We will always come here for great, authentic, regional food of Mexico. 6001 San Mateo Blvd., NE, Albuquerque, NM 87109

    Pozole and Menudo

    I may have a new favorite Mexican restaurant! My family and I discovered this gem on our way to Cliff's Amusement Park! It's real, authentic Mexican food, and EVERYTHING was delicious! The great thing about having a family of four us, you get to taste everyone's food! So I tasted there menudo, pozole, Tacos de barbacoa, and chilquiles...also caldo de res all so good! Horchata was great too...OH AND THEIR SALSA THAT THEY SERVE WITH CHIPS...ALL VERY GOOD!

    See all
