Remarkable breakfast burrito for an amazing price. The carne adovada can't be beat!!! Not a fancy location but the food is outstanding

Can you go inside to sit down & eat yet? (The location on Central, below Coors) It's strange that it's been closed and you can only "drive-thru" now. I miss relaxing inside, watching them dip & cook the fresh fried Chicken & getting great customer service by the ladies with the cute old fashioned scarves on their hair. Everyone was always so friendly & food was delicious. #9 !! read more

On Saturday, July 11, 2026, at 2:30 p.m., I waited 20 minutes in line at Golden Pride 5231 west Central in 100-degree heat to order the rib plate. When I arrived home, I found the ribs were old, hard, and appeared to have been sitting in the pan for two days, consisting mostly of greasy end pieces. The mashed potato side had no gravy, though the side of green beans was perfect, and I received my roll. Recognizing the signs of old ribs, I was very hungry and managed to eat about half. I then called Golden Pride and spoke to the manager, who told me to return the food. I explained I was across town, but her response was dismissive. I stated I would report her to the owners, to which she replied they were no longer owned by the Rainoseks. I remarked that this explained the poor quality of the food. This was the second time I received bad ribs from the West Central location. read more

Golden Pride - Old Ribs from Golden Pride at West Central - Barbeque Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Always a must when we come back in town. We grew up in Albuquerque and now live out of state but we always crave these burritos and Chile! Carne adovada burrito and add cheese is a must, #9 is one of our favorites too. Their chicken and green Chile stu is awesome too! Service is always friendly and pretty quick, drive thrus still get long lines. Old country style vibes, original look. read more

I've been back 3x in the past 2 weeks for my #9 fix and have seen considerable improvements. The bkfst burrito is filled, rolled, and sealed properly. The fixings are distributed evenly, and it's served at an appropriate temperature. Either someone is listening or you are just on a good roll. Whatever it is, keep it up, and don't forget the stirrer. read more

Burritos are the best! Fast! Hot! Tasty! The variety is sure to please everyone in the group. If you are worried about the long line of cars, it goes quickly! . And price is good, too read more

So I came here to see what all the hype was about, tons of people mention the huge lines for these breakfast burritos at golden pride. Sure enough there was a line 2 blocks long when I got there. I thought, gosh this must be the best thing ever. I placed my order and surprisingly the breakfast burrito was only like $3, that was my first clue that it may not be the best burrito I've ever had but I still had hope that it would be a good experience. After 30 minutes in line, I got my $3 burrito, and took a bite, it was cold, cheese melted , and kind of tasted like nothing. The cold part was the worst aspect about it. When I went home I microwaved it, and at least the cheese was melted so it was a little better, but I'll put it this way; there are better burritos at Taco Bell. read more

Golden Pride is definitely a burqueno favorite! I grew up eating burritos from here frequently and know many people who still come here often! Coming here on Wednesday about 8:30, I waited about 8 minutes in line. They have an efficient production, and the homestyle tortillas are great! The food is delicious and definitely hits the spot for breakfast. read more

Golden Pride - ##1 Egg, Hash Browns, Green Chile & Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Today 5/1/26 I went to Golden Pride on Central NW, I ordered my usual #9 burrito and a drink. I was really hungry, looking forward to a #9.. I've been a loyal customer since the 80's. There are no words to describe how disappointed and how horrible that burrito was. 1. COLD 2. hash browns that I'm sure were sitting there since probably the morning ( I was there at 1:45pm) 3. cold pieces of random cheese ( not melted because the burrito was COLD) 4. bits and pieces of cold green chili. 5. eggs??.. cold and hardly any. 6. bits and pieces of cold bacon. the tortilla.. cold. The drink was fine. The lady at the window needs to slow down, she was pure nervous energy. I won't be back for a while, maybe I will try it again sometime in the future. Golden Pride was known for consistency and quality. Not sure what's wrong now (probably short staffed as most fast food places are) I never thought i would be writing this about Golden Pride. read more

This place NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN! I've given this place one to many tries . If you want RAW BACON, go here: THEY NEVER COOK THE BACON. Absolute disgusting . Who's the quality control over here? Yall got your head up your gapped asshole. Shut this place down immediately !!!! If you like raw bacon: go here. read more

Always recommend Golden Pride! #1 burrito and 6 pk of carne burritos is what we always get.

Food keeps declining. Nuggets tasted hard like they were a day old. Fries were hard and old as well. They got my order wrong. Not a good visit at all. read more

When the food's good, it's very good but it's very very inconsistent. I just came home with basically three fried bones with a sliver of meat on them. The service was subpar. I had to wait quite a while at the speaker of the drive through. Then when I got to the pay booth, I was met with a giggling couple that were weren't very helpful. It's really too bad cause I do enjoy their food, but I never know what I am going to get. read more

This review is for the Golden Pride in Central NE. Couldn't find a listing for it with space for reviews. Not all Golden Pride restaurants are the same. Please teach your workers to count? I get large packs of 10- 20 pieces each time I visit Golden Pride. The restaurant in Central NE regularly sends me home with one less piece. If I order 20 pieces, I feel jipped getting only 19. This time, there were 2 pieces missing! read more

Sorry, I know Golden Pride has probably been in business around 70 years, but the food really wasn't very good. I was looking forward to the green beans, but the containers were only a little more than half full. Chicken tasted odd. read more

Always very tasty food. Breakfast burritos are best in Albuquerque. Chicken nuggets are awesome, get their homemade ranch. Everything is amazing. Mac n cheese too. Fries are my favorite. So trust me- go to Golden Pride. read more

Many go to the drive-through for all day breakfast burritos. I don't see the drive to wait in the long line but I can speak to the sit-down location. The fried chicken is as good as it gets in ABQ havubg a clean crisp breading and large pieces. The ribs have a nice pink layer with smokey flavor and tender, meaty texture you want in bbq. The sides are good as well. I enjoy Texas bbq and travel to Lockhart TX from time to time. So the 4 stars is a "relative to others bbq joints in town", only. But again, chicken there is tops. read more

Fried Chicken and better customer service from management. Management that is able to handle customers food complaints on raw chicken as a business professional not a " bring me the proof and I will replace it" (Alex) No apologies, no care attitude. Worst food and customer service experience read more

How do you go from one of the best chicken sandwiches to the worst? Been going for decades, but the last 4 or 5 visits have been disappointing! Visited the Juan Tabo store today: Cold stale fries, terrible Chicken Sandwich and a flat Coke! C'mon guys, you can do better!!! read more

I probably won't ever order another breakfast burrito from GP. They used to be so good, THE BEST in the city. The last couple of times they were not very good. The bacon is so very thin it's hardly noticeable. The hashbrowns are only lukewarm at best and very dry. Since they were not great last visit, I did open them up before eating. The eggs were dry and seemed to have been sitting in a warmer. My partner had the 2 piece chicken dinner. I specifically asked for a keg and thigh. The employee repeated it back. I unfortunately got a thigh and wing attached to half breast. He CANNOT EAT white meat. We will not return for a long time before we decide to give them another chance. Prices have gone way up recently. read more

My Grandson and I both ordered carne adovada burritos at the Golden pride on lomas Blvd and ate nothing else that day we both got food poisoning. We have always liked golden pride but will never go there again read more

We get breakfast burritos from here and they are delicious the green chilli is always good . I get the one with bacon so good . We also get the three piece chicken with sides . The food is great and not expensive . There is always a line of cars but I never have to wait too long and the servers are friendly. I don't know if this location has indoor seating anymore been a long time since I went in since they move the cars so fast through the drive thru hasn't made sense to go in . read more

Best Fried Chicken anywhere! They will even let you exchange the thighs for wings at no extra charge and their wings are huge!

This is my wife and I's go to every so often, we gotta have our fix at least once every two months! We love the rib plates, the chicken nuggets, the coleslaw and absolutely love the spicy beans and seasoned fries! I myself am also fond of their tacos, either chicken or beef and the fried chicken is super crispy and super juicy. All of the food here is flavorful and bold tasting. The barbecue sauce is some of the best in town and this place is definitely a top pick if you are looking for some downright good eatin! read more

Always a staple of consistent food, and amazing service, I'll be very traditional always a go to place in Albuquerque

I love their breakfast burritos and telling by the line of cars for drive through so do many others. We do know they freeze well and since we live in California I ordered a couple dozen. My cooler will be full of NM frozen treats like green Chile and these hearty and nicely balanced burritos. We love the #1 with the egg, green Chile, shredded hash browns and cheddar cheese. We tried the Green Chile Stew with perfectly done pieces of potato and ground beef with savory green Chile. I also bought a small red Chile pozole with flour tortillas. If you enjoy a good flour tortilla then pick up a bag, they go with everything. read more

I go to this location 2-3 times a week and love to see Elaine! Elaine is a total asset to this company, she is friendly, genuine, and helpful. She is consistent and caring. That's what good customer service is all about. The food is good especially with her caring service. At times it's not even about the food but just knowing you're going to get good service and a friendly smile. read more

I love the roasted/bbq chicken. But prices are ridiculously high. And - What ambiance?

Was in the mood for chicken after a long day and this is what I got. The two-piece meal was essentially a piece of chicken cut in half. It was extremely dry and not worth the price. read more

The breakfast burritos and hash browns are amazing! The service is usually pretty quick, but they are always super busy. There isn't indoor seating but I don't mind that because I prefer to eat at home. However, the indoor atmosphere seems to be clean. They need to put more green chile in the burritos. read more

Quite possibly the best breakfast burrito I have ever tried. On my weekend trip to Albuquerque, we started the food tour of the city with a quick stop at Golden Pride in the morning. Their breakfast burritos are the perfect size for a light meal/hefty snack. I tried their #2 burrito, which came with carne adovada, hash browns, scrambled egg, and cheese. It sounds rich, but with the portion sizes of their breakfast burritos, it was the perfect punch of flavor. I think what really sealed the deal was the soft tortilla they used -- I don't know what sort of dark magic they used in that drive thru but the tortilla was so incredibly fluffy and light. The prices are incredible for the experience that they offer. My friend and I each got one burrito, and our total came out to ~$6. As a California native, these prices were mindboggling. I had to pick up a second burrito on my way out of Albuquerque. I'll definitely be missing this one! read more

Golden Pride - iconic golden pride moment with my friend at the drive thru window - Barbeque Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Dec 6, 2020 Classic local cheap eats (comparable to the good version of KFC) with ribs and local green Chile stews in Albuquerque, NM. Visited on Dec 6, 2020, only open for take out (due to Covid-19 restriction) so this place opens for drive thru only with no advanced phone in order. Fast service and good food with great price. Fried chicken, lightly bread, perfectly crisped! Lean ribs. Coleslaw practically KFC's best coleslaw. Mac and cheese good for fast food. I say this is the way to go when you can not dine in in gourmet restaurants, after all... why pay the expensive food when one can not get the ambiance for what they are charging for. read more

This is an every working man/woman/any gender good mexican restaurant. Come celebrate "Taco Day" any day of the week. The tacos here are filled with juicy marinated ground beef, diced tomatoes, fresh tasting lettuce and cheddar cheese. Warm red chile salsa avail. to kick up your taco a notch. No mystery ingredients to frown about. Just good tacos for $1.69 each. Two tacos and you have a filling meal. Best $3 meal in town. Mis amigos de Yelp disfrutan de estos buenos tacos. Gracias por leer. El Gringo Avram read more

I've dropped this down from 5 to 2. Lately the quality of the food just isn't what it used to be. You can tell by the breakfast burritos, something changed with the potatoes and it's downright gross now. It's like having mashed potatoes instead of hash browns. Sorry GP, you're pushing some of us away slowly. read more

The posole was watered instead of the full taste of red chilli and had to much salt. Our burritos were good finally with egg and chilli. Most of the time it's mostly hashbrowns. read more
