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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

On our road trip moving out west, we asked a friend of ours from Albuquerque where we should stop for lunch. She recommended this place and said you can't lose no matter what you order. From barbecue to New Mexican and a variety of things in between, we had a difficult time deciding what to eat. We ordered a couple of breakfast burritos, a wet burrito, some mac & cheese, and a couple of the cinnamon buns. We recommend all that we ordered! And we had to eat the cinnamon buns the next day because we were so full. Creamy mac & cheese was worth it. The breakfast burrito was pretty tasty. The wet burrito looked delicious and my husband said it was great. Right now there is no inside dining so we were going to use the drive-through. Our van was too tall to make the clearance and so we called and they graciously accommodated us by coming out curbside to deliver our food. We tipped well and told them we appreciated the accommodation. If we're ever back in Albuquerque, we will come here again. Next time we will try the barbecue. read more

I was really happy to see that the menu clearly marked the gluten-free options. I originally decided on the chilaquiles since they were labeled gluten-free, but I asked to confirm that the chips weren't fried in a shared fryer. Unfortunately, the girl taking our order said they were, so I switched to the huevos rancheros. She wrote on the ticket that it was a gluten allergy so they would take extra precautions and prepare everything separately, which I really appreciated. My husband ordered the duck hash and said it was absolutely delicious! My son and his girlfriend got a burger and a Cubano sandwich, and they said both were amazing, they especially loved the French fries! My daughter ordered the Americano with a gluten-free waffle and loved it. My huevos rancheros were just okay, I wasn't too impressed. Definitely something I would not get again. Overall, my family really enjoyed their meals, and the food came out fairly quickly considering how busy it was.

Vick's Vittles Country Kitchen

04/13/26 First of…read moreall, don't let the other reviews of a "sketchy" area deter you from visiting Vick's Vittles. The area looks old and poor, but near the restaurant, we didn't see anything sketchy. When we were leaving, we did see some homeless people at the main intersection, but we didn't see anything we'd describe as sketchy. We did notice there is a mobile home park behind the restaurant, but there is a wall between the mobile home park and the restaurant parking lot. Even if there were police surrounding the mobile home park, we'd still venture inside to eat. The food is that good. We shared the cowboy breakfast burrito and the Santa Fe pancakes. Both were filling and ridiculously good. The Santa Fe pancakes made with blue corn, roasted piñons, green chili, and cheddar jack cheese were different than anything else we've ever had. I'll admit I didn't love my first bite or two, but the more I ate, the more I wanted. The pancakes are dry, but if you drizzle some syrup, it's the perfect match. The accompanying eggs and bacon were cooked perfectly. The cowboy breakfast burrito is massive, filling, and worth every calorie. Even though we were stuffed, we had to get the peach with green chile turnover. We asked if the turnover is served warm and our waitress replied that she could warm it up for is. I'm not sure that it is normally served warm, but I highly recommend it. The turnover flaky, the glaze was silky once warmed up and the peach with green chile was unique and delicious. Five star service and food. I highly recommend Vick's Vittles and hope that I'm in the area again so I can try more of this delicious food.

All new staff that clearly don't understand the restraunt business. Went in today for breakfast, seated in the back. Out of sight, out of mind I guess. Took longer than normal to get waited on. Placed our order, had to correct the waitress several time on our order. Waited quite awhile, long enough to need more coffee. None was coming so had to call out to another waitress to get more. Our waitress did come back to bring the coffee. Before she got there we were discussing the fact that the entire staff was new. She must have overheard us and took it as some kind of slight to her. Two minutes later the manager came over to inform us that we were being rude to her server and that she would be taking over our service. After some discussion my wife said, "this is ridiculous, guess we won't be coming here again" the manager said "well I'll cancel your order and you can leave now". We said we didnt want her to cancel our order and she just said have a nice day. So we left. Sooo not the Vicks Vittles of the past.

Tia B's La Waffleria

Before visiting, I called with a question about the restaurant's name change. The person who…read moreanswered was incredibly helpful and patiently explained that only the name had changed, which I appreciated. For our meal, we ordered two Chicken & Waffles plates, a Blue Corn Lavender Waffle, and a kids' plate. The Chicken & Waffles were the highlight of the meal, offering a satisfying balance of sweet and savory flavors. The Blue Corn Lavender Waffle was a unique touch and a fun way to try something distinctly New Mexican. Neither my wife nor I cared for the drip coffee, so we asked a staff member if we could swap it out for double espressos. They were happy to accommodate us, and the espresso was a significant improvement. The service was friendly, and the staff made a positive first impression from the phone call all the way through our visit. For our family, the total came to about $80, which felt a little steep. We ended up eating inside since the patio tables were either occupied or unavailable (due to a sleeping homeless person). The restaurant is housed in a renovated older home, and they've done a nice job making the most of the space. One of my favorite touches was the collection of retro waffle makers displayed along the walls, which added a fun, nostalgic charm to the atmosphere. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I'd happily return to explore more of the menu.

I had to pick between savory and sweet, and the menu is huge with lots of options plus build your own! I went for savory and got it with goat cheese and spinach (built my own). It was delightful. The blue corn is just a tinge sweet so was an interesting mix. The waffle is a decent size but is super filling and dense. I'll have to try some sweet waffles or some different waffle bases next time! That said there are lots of gluten free options as well, so if that's for you, then don't hesitate to come check it out you won't be disappointed. There is indoor and outdoor seating, though in general the place is small-ish and can get crowded during busy times. Parking is also a bit of an adventure, but so is anywhere in that area. The staff is super friendly as well. All in all a great experience and I will be back. I can't believe it took me so long to get here in the first place!

The taco meat had been sitting on the back burner most of the day. I walked in at 1:10 pm and they close at 2 pm. Horrible dried up ground beef. Can't believe I am paying for dried up tacos, and the cook served me just that, instead of making me fresh ground beef. Next the Spanish Rice was also very dry and cold. The cook could not at least get it warmed up, no because it was so dried up rice, warming it up would not work. Very nasty plate I was served. The beans were good, yet they were luke warm. The only thing that was fresh on my plate was the sopaipilla and the guacamole. Otherwise, what a freaking mess I was serviced. I guess I am done with Kap's. Sorry because you all have a wonderful up-front staff.

I mean...it was bad. Like, really bad. Not only was it just awful, but my entire meal was drowning in it. Next, the coconut crusted lion's mane was absolutely inedible. It tasted more like a different part of the lion, if you know what I mean. I just didn't eat it past two bites. The asparagus was inconsistent (some smaller mushy stalks and some large uncooked crunchy stalks). The toast would have been fine but the amount of pesto on it was atrocious. I scraped most of it off...I mean there was a MOUND of it. The egg was fine (opted for regular). All in all it was just a piece of toast with an egg DROWNING in sour vegan hollandaise and pesto with asparagus and an inedible fried mushroom thing. And to say 'thing' is even offensive to 'things.'

In a rare turn of events, both kids got the same thing, the Korean chicken bites with the sauce on the side, which was a great decision bc it did have a kick to it. The chicken itself was a bit dry. Both adults also got the pork belly flatbread. I found it a bit unbalanced with too much sauce and not enough other toppings, and the base wasn't as crispy as I prefer. Speaking of crispy, we opted for the appetizer brussel sprouts, and they were a bit chewy and on the not so super crispy side. Service was fine, and glad to have a little break from heavier New Mexican cuisine on this night. Lots of variety on the cocktail and adult beverage menu too.

Great servers! Everyone was helpful and kind so front of house manager must be doing their job!…read moreFood was delicious. Crispy Brussels sprouts had great flavor but way too much cayenne pepper (which adds nothing but heat) my husband ate them but said he would prefer less heat. I had 2 bites and gave up. Baked brie was amazing I loved the granny Smith apples! My husband loved them too. We also got the hummus duo which has dates on it and I used a date in the brie that was fantastic! I'll ask for that next time! It was the bomb. Hummus duo was good the watermelon radish was beautiful on the plate but gave both hummus a bitter flavor. Shrimp and grits. We live in Alabama currently and this was our least favorite dish of the day. Shrimp were cooked well and so were the grits but there was just something else it needed. Parmesan cheese and some onions maybe. Greek salad delicious. The flash fried chick peas made it. We needed more dressing and the wait staff was prompt and sweet about it. Spicy Lime Ceasar was ok till he requested more dressing then it was amazing. I was afraid of ordering it but the dressing wasn't too spicy . White sangria I had was disappointing it was more of a 1995 wine spritzer than a wine infused with citrus which is the very essence of sangria. It was ok and had I ordered a wine spritzer I would say yummo but I ordered sangria. Pork Belly flat bread was the winner of the night the tomato jam made that dish. I would love more on it next time but we will definitely be ordering that dish again! Yes we had a lot of left over food! But I love sampling a menu and this menu has a lot to offer. We will be back to try 4 or five other things. I look forward to my return.
