Well, it's always been one of my favorites for a quick burrito in the morning and green chili stew. However, they could do with an upgrade in the building itself same with the one on lomas, if you ask me. Come on close one and spend a little money to revamp it not like they're gonna lose money get the most out of their drive-throughS read more

Love their fried Chicken, burritos and Green Chili soup/stew and flour tortillas. Always have for 45 years. But our server (Monica D.) got our order wrong 3 times!!! She wore a mask and we couldn't understand her and she was also hard of hearing. It was also hot inside and I guess they don't want to run the Cooling system and the soda machine was pouring out unflavored cokes. I bought a homeless guy a burrito and. Large soda and he wouldn't even drink the coke. That's how bad it was. read more

I feel terrible for this review because I have always loved golden pride. But they have gotten so cheap lately, It's saddening. Specifically the golden pride on Central and old coors. when I pay six dollars for a number eight and it's half the size it used to be, I feel utterly gypped! The burritos used to actually be filling and now I feel like you're just getting an appetizer. Shame on you golden pride. I will say, the golden pride off of Juan Tabo their burritos are always solid! always full! always the size they should be. It's this specific golden pride that I have an issue with. read more

Golden Pride continues to be a reliable go-to. While this part of town can have its issues, they seem to handle things well and provide a steady, welcoming experience. The food is always well prepared. Their breakfast burritos are my usual order, and knowing the tortillas are made in-house (some locations have a tortilla machine) makes them even better. When timing lines up for me to have dinner or lunch, their fried chicken and ribs are also fantastic. The restaurant is simple and homey, a barn-shaped building with a few Southwestern decorations. Not fancy, but exactly what it needs to be. read more

Came here on our way to Nashville. This time at another location. It was full of diners but that's great for business. Not a long wait & very good food! Awesome decor too. Lots of arrowheads & Old West items. Best tacos here, which is what I got & my boyfriend got the brisket plate with potato salad & green beans. Busy ambiance but well worth the time to sit & enjoy a good meal. Great customer service & amazing food! We need a Golden Pride here in Arizona! read more

Have always been a fan however the last time we had the fried it was dry. Not up to it's always excellent product

Just stopped at Central location. To cool off. And get some good food. It's 100 degrees outside. And it was 98 degrees inside. The restaurant. It was $30 for the food. Too hot in restaurant. To enjoy the food. They have plenty of fans. Behind counter for employees. But not one the customers. The manager must be a idiot. read more

They are going down hill. Nothing but potato in the #3. Used to have egg, cheese and potato. Then it was cheese and potat, now it's mostly potat. Check before you eat. read more

Well, I have had really hit or miss experiences with this place since writing the review, and recently I had a pretty upsetting experience. The workers at the drive through seemed frustrated/ overwhelmed and I told them they got my order wrong, so they took it in and pretended to "fix" it. They literally just fucked around for 5 min when they could have replaced it, and brought me the same thing with the receipt ripped off. It was busy but god bro get it together and stop teaching that younger guy such bad habits. Wtf. Do better guys. read more

Food is great, service is great, fast. We order drive thru. I haven't been inside. We get our dinners there. Sometimes burritos, and the ribs are so good!! read more

Good Breakfast burritos. great tortillas, good smoked chicken. I like that the soda machine has soda water. As a business related to the frontier its a pretty different feeling when you walk in. but still pretty consistent, love the free hot salsa. Food has a good NM homey feel. read more

I don't go to the Central location as often as I used to because of the homeless in the area. I went last week in the morning and I must say that Jonathan did an exceptional job in the drive up. He greeted me, repeated my order and told me to have a wonderful day. I haven't seen that kind of service since during covid when April and Tonya were working there. Keep Jonathan in the drive through and acknowledge him for going above and beyond. read more

Lomas location drive through: 50% of the time, my order has been wrong. Beware!!!!! No place on their website to comment.

Food is great. But be prepared to fight to get your order correct. Employees are determined to rely on their intuition to figure what you would like to eat rather than simply listening to what you actually request. read more

This is my opinion! Mashed potatoes seem like they come from a box, Coke tastes like its so watered down, u can't even drink it!! read more

I've had probably more than my fair share of Golden Pride over the years and sadly the prices have got up and the portions are much smaller. Today my burrito was probably about half what it used to be, same basic taste but just a lot less volume. Also, I got in the 2nd lane as both lanes were open and it was moving dramatically slower than the 1st lane. The inner lane had a longer line but it definitely moved much faster so maybe the inner lane is just the way to go? read more

Golden Pride - #9 breakfast burrito - Barbeque Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Not worth the $6. Waited 15 minutes in line since they forgot to prepare a catering order. This took 2 out of their 30 employees to handle while the line backed up to the door. The little good at the register said going thru the backup drive thru would be faster. Burrito was wet and soggy possibly from the nasty watery eggs. Only flavor in the burrito was from the sausage. Have had some bad experiences everytime at this location and won't be going back. read more

Love all their food. Any location is good! I usually go to the Central or Juan Tabo location. Fast service

We lived in Albuquerque many years, leaving in 2009. We used to really like getting the breakfast burritos from this location. It's gone downhill, but still very busy. Needs a deep cleaning under the tables and in the slots under and between the slats in the benches. The green chile on the burrito lacked flavor. Fries are still good. read more

I have been going to golden pride for a long time.Their food is always delicious.Their customer service is excellent.Their ribs are the best in Albuquerque.Probably the best ribs I've ever had.I will continue going here if you've never been here.You should go try the ribs.They're wonderful. read more

No matter what I pay ex sauce l am willing to pay but THE MISTAKES not cool QUALITY Control NEEDED no gravy still white

Food is outstanding along with the service! Restaurant is always clean and can accommodate my family of 6.

Once or twice a year I treat myself to G.P.'s affordable rib plate with 2 cole slaws. When their ribs are good, they're great--as good as any at any price. But they are not consistent. Sometimes they are only okay, but good enough to satisfy the craving. A few days ago, I experienced the bottom end of the spectrum. The ribs were so bad I should have sent them back. They were so overcooked they were very crispy black all over and the meat so dried out and stringy and more like jerky. The slaw was also a loss this time, chopped up in such a way that it had a really unpleasant texture and required very long sessions of vigorous chewing just to swallow it. To be served such felt contemptuous--like the people who live in this part of town don't deserve any better. read more

I've been eating at Golden Pride for about 40 years. Typically would get breakfast burritos at least once a week as well as other menu items. Since I retired I don't go there as often since there are no locations close to where I live. Today I went to the university area location on Lomas and ordered 4 breakfast burritos. Evidently they must have thought I ordered off of the kids menu; they were tiny! I couldn't believe it! They are the smallest burritos I've ever had in Albuquerque. I have never in my life left a restaurant review, but felt so strongly about this that I felt I needed to. Sorry Golden Pride, but you've lost a customer. read more

Golden Pride has many local specialties jam packed with New Mexican flavor. The food is very good and fresh! Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The site is clean. The drive through moves pretty quickly. Orders aren't always right--so double check. However, if they do give you the wrong thing, it will be tasty because, like I said, the food is good. Once I got a really stale cinnamon bun, but that seems to have been a fluke. Try the BBQ chicken...yummmmm. read more

Great lunch spot. Lots of good options for a quick meal. The stew was delicious and the tortillas were very very soft and fluffy. The stew was thick and full of flavor. The lunch prices are reasonable and the service was very quick. This is a must stop place if you are new in town or visiting for work. read more

Omg my husband and I had a blast driving through this place because the menu caught us so off guard - we don't have anything like this in CA that is a drive thru Mexican + fried chicken place. Our order: the 5 adovada burritos, + an order of fried chicken with side of mashed potatoes and mac n' cheese Pros: - Mac n' cheese was delicious, the fired chicken was very yummy, easy packaging (I appreciated that they put their appropriately oily food in non-oily containers - adovada burritos were spicy and liquidy but tasted pretty good, they kept well (I ate 2 for work lunch the day after we got back from New Mexico) - Very affordable - Love the drive through option - Fast service Cons: - friend chicken does NOT keep well (even within the hour - when I took it to the airport 40 mins later, it was already super dry) - but this is expected I guess and my own mistake LOL. So eat the fried chicken immediately!! In your car, don't even drive home. read more

Golden Pride - fried chicken + mashed potatoes + mac n' cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I usually go to the Golden pride across the street from UNMH. There, you have a man I wish I knew his name, but he always makes a corny little joke that just make sure the customer leaves smiling . I work nights so he's there at night again I wish I knew his name. Unfortunately, I have been staying with my sister up in the central and Eubank area so we have been going to the east location a little more often. Now this location, on the other hand, receives three stars for food, and a one star because of one of your employees she's a night worker I believe her name is Gloria. She works the window where you pay. And I wish I was exaggerating, but unfortunately, I'm not. This woman must wake up on the wrong side of the bed every single day there has not been one time that I go there and we do go at least once or twice a week that she is not rude. I am not one to ever ever complain, but today was a straw that broke the camels back The line was long through the drive-through and I did not want to be one on top of the other, so I stayed back about a car length behind the car in front of me when all of a sudden like a raging bull this woman comes out of the restaurant telling me that I have to move forward with the person can't order and that get out of the way and whatever else she was saying at this point, I stopped listening I don't understand what difference it made if I moved forward or stayed where I was the line was still long. It wasn't gonna make the line go any faster Maybe they should move her to a different station like burrito, rolling or tortilla bagging or table cleaning. Anything that does not require customer interaction I realize golden pride has been around for a long time and that may be the case too. Maybe the hiring videos do not include how you treat a customer or how you act towards people and that's fine. I don't own golden pride and I mean you guys still get the business, but I was reading back on the reviews and I mean just the last couple of years they are going downhill come on guys you're in New Mexico. Let's not ruin it. Please talk to her. She needs to know that she is making people's experience is bad. read more

Order a plate of ribs from the menu in which I ordered two extra ribs, the ribs very small and one without the portion of meat that it must have was pure bone. They should take more into account how to do their job and how to take care of people since they also do it very badly. The place is not very recommended. read more

Golden Pride - Barbeque Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Well here we go again. I thought I would try Golden Pride again, since it has been awhile and it has actually gotten worse. I ordered the number 11 with sausage and green chile. The burrito was soggy with very little sausage, underprepared eggs, mushy hashbrowns, and little chile. They are now using these very cheap foam cups, and if you order the large drink, the cup does not fit in your cupholder. I mentioned this to them and they just shrugged their shoulders. I am so sad, since this place use to be so good. Well, it's time to move I suppose. read more

picked up lunch today and it was awful. Ordered a 16oz Pasole and 4 piece fried chicken. Received a 16oz green chile stew (not very good) and 4 pieces of the worst fried chicken. Was horribly overcooked and so dried out it was inedible. This has always been my go to spot for fried chicken, but not anymore read more

Well I've been coming to Albuquerque for 13 years and this places is always buzzing and busy. So tonight I have it a try! I can see the appeal to this place it's very reasonable priced. They make their own tortillas which I should have tried. I had the ribs because they are a rib and chicken place. Ribs are fall off the bone but sauce is bland. Sides are ok but judging by the gravy I bet the chicken is better. Decent place great price I'd definitely try something different when I visit again. read more

Golden Pride on Central near Juan Tabo What terrible customer service. Sign on their door all day says lobby closed at 7pm. Get there at 6:45 and the drive through line is almost in the street. Figured I would go inside and beat the rush.! But the doors are locked!!! Drive through is supposed to stay open longer. Get in a long drive through line and wait 17 minutes. Get to the order window at 7:02 and told ... sorry. We are closed. Still long line of cars behind me. Employee walking around the outside looking at cars but no effort to let people know they are waiting in line for no reason. No effort to mark the end of the line that will be served. They just don't care about their customers. They just don't care!!! Worse... the they actively disrespected 15 or so cars and who knows how many walk ups with no remorse. I pointed out the sign on the door said lobby open till 7:00. Response ... "not my job" Yes... burritos are good but there are lots of places like Golden Pride in Albuquerque. I suggest you try them out. read more

The last two times I've gone to get chicken after 7:30PM, they've been out of chicken, and the wait for chicken is 25 minutes. By then it's near closing time. There are many employees standing around working, and perhaps making Mexican food for the morning but not I'm just not willing to wait long for fried chicken during evening hours, especially when there is no one else in line ordering or waiting for food. read more

We just got to Albuquerque New Mexico today. We've never had New Mexican food but this was amazing! The fried chicken is a definite 10. We got two pieces they gave us white meat and it was still super juicy! The green chili stew was amazing. A thin soup with either pieces of posole or potato. I couldn't tell. There's ground meat in it and green chilies. It's super flavorful. The six pack of tacos was amazing. Make sure they give you enough hot sauce! And the adovada burrito is a must-have! Cons I don't believe the mac and cheese, mashed potatoes or breakfast burritos are worth it. They are all lukewarm at best. And under seasoned. The showstopper was the sweet roll. Get this hot and you will have a delicious, buttery goodness. It's a bit like a cinnamon roll but not so sweet. The fountain drinks were carbonated and didn't have too much ice. Everything was well packaged and the staff was amazing! read more

I have seen the sign of this business for years and thought it was just BBQ. My daughter has tried the fried chicken and convinced us to try it. We had a 10 piece bucket with spicy beans and mac and cheese. Everything was delicious. Chicken was great and both sides were very tasty. They also included a very tasty bun. They have this drive thru down to a science. We enjoyed everything and it was enough for 4 people to be full. We will return. read more

Went to the drive through and time was very good. My burrito? Sucks, hard - not fresh and full of hash browns, no flavor, little to no cheese or meat. Here is a photo. I ordered a number 10. Been my favorite for the last 1.5 yrs Sure hope leadership and the care of putting out a good product by the workers comes back..... I will not come back to this location. Guess one need to open theit food and examine it before they drive away....... $5.00 for hash browns wrapped in a stale shell and you can see the spot of cheese on the right.... Guess this is the NEW QUALITY at Golden Pride once was for a "golden" product now for "Golden" profits at the expense of quality? read more
