Charming local establishment in Old Town. We sat at the bar and had a drink and decided to stay there for dinner. Service at the bar was great. I had a chicken burrito with rice and beans and it was fresh and tasty although all of the food could have had a warmer temperature. read more

This place was middle of the road. Not bad but not great. Great atmosphere and an attentive staff. We had an issue and they took care of it immediately. Amazing margarita but the food was eh. My rice was hard in spots and so were my tortillas. None of it was traditional New Mexican and there were some interesting combos. My enchiladas were mare like a lasagna but tasty. I am glad we tried it but I probably won't be back. read more

This Albuquerque watering hole has been around for about 1000 years it seems. Every local knows about it, and it seems most tourists know about it too. The drinks and cocktails here are pretty awesome so you can't go wrong here. The food is basic, no elevation at all. You will find the typical and customary southwestern cuisine, with no flair. Basic. read more

Ate here tonight with my family and had a great experience. We had a 6:30 reservation, arrived right on time, and were seated immediately. Our waiter came over shortly after, introduced himself, and took our drink order. I informed our waiter that I have a gluten allergy and asked about safe options. He was extremely knowledgeable about gluten-free items and cross-contamination, which I really appreciated. We started with the beef bites and the Tres Amigos appetizer (guacamole, salsa, and queso), both of which my family really enjoyed. I didn't try them since they're fried in shared fryers with gluten items. For my entrée, I ordered the cranberry apple spinach salad with shrimp, and it was delicious. My daughter had the steak frites, my husband ordered the ribeye, and my son chose the High Noon tenderloin, my son's girlfriend got the green chili bacon chicken sandwich lettuce wrapped. Everything looked great, and my family enjoyed their meals. Service was good, the food was delicious, and I was especially happy to see gluten-free dessert options. We tried two: a chocolate torte and a Spanish flan with piñon, both were good. Overall, a wonderful dining experience for our whole family. read more

Old Town was packed at lunch time during the Balloon Fiesta, so after wandering around to the outskirts of town, we were able to get in line at High Noon, since they didn't even open until 12:00 pm. Perfect. Once the doors opened, we were quickly sat. The restaurant is a lot bigger on the inside than it appeared to be outside. Tastefully decorated, nice and cool, with comfortable tables. Our server was friendly and efficient. Trying not to shock my system too much with spicy Mexican food, I went with the Three Sisters Veggie Burrito, filled with zucchini, squash, beans, corn, sweet peppers, rice, and cheese, with chips and guacamole on the side. The burrito was fine, but the guacamole was excellent. A decent experience all around, and a perfect spot to take a break from the heat and shopping. read more

High Noon Restaurant & Saloon - high-end margarita and warm, tasty chips y salsas! - Bars Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We do not eat at Old Town very often, but some friends recommended the drinks. Right at the edge of Old Town, the High Noon Saloon blends with the style and architecture of the area, appearing like an old, rustic saloon. The inside, is quite pretty, upscaled, and inviting. Our server came soon after being seated and was ready for our drinks orders. We were, too! And shortly after, our food orders were taken swiftly. The server was quite attentive and also unobtrusive while our party was sharing stories of our week. Our food, however, took a long time to come to our tables. Let's start with drinks, I tried the rosemary cucumber lemonade and spicy haven. By far, spicy haven was my favorite with a combination of spicy, bright, and refreshing. Our food order consisted of the green chile cheeseburger and the lighter cousin, green chile bacon chicken sandwich. Our friends ordered the blue corn enchiladas and the steak frites. I can speak to te burger and sandwich. The chicken was dry but the bacon was crispy and nice. The truffle fries were definitely a nice substitution for the regular string fries. The burger was at medium rare that was juicy and thick. Both were ok, but lacked flavor even with the green chile. Our friends were satisfied with their dishes, but not impressed, either. Overall, a lot of our bill came from the ambiance and location. Our server was great and on top of things, but the kitchen was slow. Also, for the price, I was expecting impactful flavors that in the end were just ok. And with additional surcharges for minor substitutions, our intentions to return are very minimal. read more

Touching down in Albuquerque and already finding a local gem! As an East Coaster, I'm always looking for a great Mexican food spot and the High Noon Restaurant did not disappoint. While the tacos were good, the real stars were the pinto beans, chili relleno, and the incredible hatch chili sauce. Seriously, they were the best I've ever had. If you're in the area, you have to check this place out! I personally complemented the chef and I had great service a the beautiful bar as well! read more

Food - was pretty good! My husband had the meat loaf, and my friend and I shared the chile relleno platter and had them split off the tacos (she had the tacos, I had the the relleno, beans, rice, and salad). I think the rice could've used more seasoning, otherwise the relleno was delicious and the chopped lettuce and tomatoes were a refreshing taste to mix in to the rice and beans. The salsa was a nice flavor to add onto the relleno. My husband (a meat loaf lover) enjoyed his meat loaf- good texture and flavor. Not photographed- my high noon margarita and the keylime pie we shared. It was a well mixed drink, and the keylime pie was decadent and not overly sweet. Service- Tomas was very nice and attentive! Ambience - the ambiance was cool! The first 2 parts of the restaurant were built in the 1700's, and the dining area was made in the 1920's. The walls are made of adobe, the chairs are carved and decorated in a New Mexican style, and there's these interesting metal chandeliers with faces hanging from the ceiling. read more

I booked this place because it looked really cool inside and it was. Very New Mexico feel. Even tho the booths didn't have cushions on the back they were still very comfortable. The service was ok, we had to ask for waters. I ordered the filet and my wife ordered the steak frites. They were cooked correctly but when they arrived they were barely warm. Mine came with 2 mushroom and potato enchiladas and I didnt like the way they tasted. I'm not use to not having cheese or chili sauce on top of the enchiladas. We may give this place another try but I wouldn't go out of my way to do it read more

Wow! Just wow. Visiting New Mexico, we wanted to try some good food and were referred to this place close to Old Town. We managed to get in without a booking on a Saturday after getting dropped off. Beautiful architecture and interior. We sat near the back and enjoyed each others company until we were served. Delicious margaritas to start and some of the best food I've had in a long while. The beef on my dish just melted in your mouth. I felt like I could've inhaled my food it was that good. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating as we had a ghost tour we had to get to and they helped speed up getting our bill at the end too. Would visit again next time I'm in the area for sure and I recommend you do too. read more

Omg what a wonderful experience. Carla V could not have been more accommodating. On app I asked for a booth that was cushy for my 92 year old dad, they succeeded and brought extra pillows for his back. wOW. As for the food, well it was extremely good, hand cuts of beef still exist, great flavor on the tenderloin and ribeye. Our waitress Sophia was so kind and attentive. Highly recommend.

Food and ambience of this location was really cool as it was separated to two rooms one room which had trees in the middle of each table giving it a more modern look and one room which had the pictures of owners of the place from back in the day on the walls showing its rich family history. However service could have been a bit better as wait time for food and drinks was a bit long. This place is a family owned business as it's been part of New Mexico for a long time. read more

Decent New Mexican food. We visited High Noon Restaurant and Saloon early on a Saturday night, and it was about half full. The restaurant resembles most other restaurants in the region with adobe walls, wooden beams, and southwest iconography. I tried the boulevardier to drink and the veggie blue corn enchiladas with red chile. The boulevardier was heavier on the vermouth than I prefer and was too light on the Campari. The red chile was not as spicy as is typical of the New Mexico, and the blue corn tortillas were a bit tough to cut and chew. I did think the bites with cheese were tasty, but the accompanying beans, rice, and lettuce were all pretty bland. Overall, I had a passable experience at High Noon Restaurant and Saloon, but there are better options in Albuquerque. read more

Best shrimp pasta I've ever had. Cocktails were delicious. Ambiance is calm but lively and the interior is beautiful. Our server was great too! Call and make reservations because walk-in seating hasn't been available the past couple times I've tried. Me and my friend sat at the bar but it was still a nice dining experience. I haven't been able to go the last two times I tried because there were no seats available so plan ahead! read more

Such a wonderful experience I have never been to New Mexico and this place found a way to integrate the culture directly into the dining experience. The tres amigos was the best start to our meal, the portions were so big I couldn't get the chance to have desert! The best problem to have honestly Thank you Michelle you were so kind!!! Such great hospitality from all the staff read more

My husband and I visit High Noon every Christmas season. Todays visit was wonderful. We love the first room by the bar. Typically quieter, lovely nichos with festive colors. Our visit was excellent today. We had the Tres Amigos as an appetizer with a couple of prickly pear margaritas. We also had the blue corn stacked enchiladas. Very well done. It's our favorite place for Thanksgiving too. Great service, although the holiday music was a bit over the top on this day. read more

Delicious New Mexican restaurant in the heart of Old Town! Came by for dinner with a group and was blown away by how delicious everything was. We shared the brie empanadas, which were so delicious and the perfect appetizer. For my entree I ordered the ribeye, which came smothered in a red chile sauce and had mashed potatoes and vegetables. I was super pleased with the steak, it was moist and the sauce was perfect. The mashed potatoes were also delightful. The vegetables were honestly the star of the dish for me surprisingly! The string beans were so crunchy and the onions and tomatoes added the perfect sweetness. My table also ordered two desserts--the cheesecake and chocolate cake, which were the perfect top off. Highly recommend stopping here if you are in Old Town! read more

Found this adorable classic adobe style cafe thanks to some great reviews and this review echos those before. We did not have a reservation but it was a Tuesday after Memorial weekend so we easily got a table. Surprised that our server was from NJ, our home state, so conversation was good and service was better! Our food and drinks did not disappoint and both came quickly. I guess my only complaint was the AC. I assume in the heat of the summer, I would have loved it. Fantastic find in Old Town ABQ! read more

We were told a 25 minute wait. After 50 minutes of waiting, we finally got a seat. The place had so many empty tables. I'm assuming they have a staff shortage but it's still frustrating to see after you've been waiting for so long. We each had the chicken and beef burritos. They weren't anything special and definitely not worth the $20 each. We also ordered the truffle fries which came out cold. Overall, not that great and would suggest other restaurants instead. read more

Host was very rude. The restaurant would not let us order a drink when we showed up early. Horrible experience made us feel unwelcome.

2 of us went to have lunch. Once arrived the waitress asked for our drink order, which we provided, waitress then asked for our lunch order, since we were ready, we ordered appetizer, then proceeded to order a hamburger and burrito for lunch all at the same moment. Within the next 20 minutes 3 other larger groups of 4-6 people began sitting around us. Within the next 30-40 minutes all tables around us got appetizer and their main course of food they ordered. We got none of our main meals and finally had to leave, I requested a Manager, as I choose to not wait any longer. Spoke to manager 10 minutes later just to offer nothing. She was more worried about apologizing than listening. Our food finally came out wtf? We were there over an hour. I offered to pay for appetizers which the manager was happy to grab the money. Go figure. The waitress and manager SUCKED! read more

Really enjoyed the experience. The place is true adobe made and has an awesome sky light. Does not say it but there is parking in the dirt lot just to the west.

I liked that they give a side of lime. read more

The burger was absolutely delicious!! So great to have a lettuce 'bun' option; barely saw it on the menu though. The meat was seasoned perfectly and was an excellent portion size for the price. I opted for the side salad instead of fries-it was also noteworthy. 4 thick slices of fresh and artfully cut cucumber, 4 cherry tomatoes, nice crisp spring greens. The green chile feta dressing was tasty, but impossible to put on a salad. It was thick like a tapenade. My guest had the same burger, and his shoestring fries were hot and crispy. Diners around us had beautiful food. It was hard not to stare at the featured salads and huge bowls of tomato basil soup that walked by. Why four stars instead of five? Our waitress got our order wrong and she asked three times what we ordered. Just write it down. Our burgers were served 'well' not 'medium'. We both opted for lettuce 'buns' and one came to the table in a brioche bun. It also took forever to get our food and refills on drinks. I'm impressed by the portion sizes and quality. I think I have avoided High Noon because I have the notion that touristy places are chintzy and overpriced. Nope-it's solid. I'm going back to get the soup of the day...like tomorrow! read more

We called a little over an hour prior to arrival to see about needing a reservation or wait time for walk in seating- no answer. We decided we would still go. Upon arrival my husband asked about calling for reservations and if they take them. The hostess, instead of simply apologizing for missing the call, began instead to give a list of reasons when they DON'T take reservations and then concluded with that our wait time would be 30min. We accepted the wait time and sat down in the entry area. While waiting 3 employees came into the area and began speaking to each other about the hold up for continuing seating and at one point someone blaming the kitchen for it. It was like we were invisible. We got sat. Ordered a ribeye that came medium well when it was ordered medium rare and a sauce on top that can only be described as barbecue sauce. Enchiladas were dry and tough. Salmon soup was delicious, waitress was kind/attentive, and ambiance/venue were the highlights. They charged half price for the over cooked steak. read more

Disappointed update; Again I requested to leave an item off my order & it came on it anyway (beware food allergies), My mom asked for something on the side & didn't get it at all. The salsa, Chiles & pasole are for tourists who don't know better, queso is grainy, Guac is just avocado, cheese enchiladas had almost no cheese inside just warm greasy tortillas (but it did have a hair!) I asked for smothered Xmas and got a tablespoon of each, the pintos tasted like canned and kind of sweet, THE ONLY good thing was the actual shredded beef. I fear inconsistency like this, the only constant was messing up. read more

After reading the rave, pervasive reviews, I finally made the trek to Old Town, found a space, and ordered their signature dish: the green chili cheeseburger for $16, something I was hankering for tonight. While it was acceptable, and a good value (see below for the twist), there was nothing remarkable about it whatsoever. The bun, meat, cheese, all ordinary. It was petite in size, served well done instead of medium well, thus, definitely overcooked. The garnish was plain and hopelessly simple: one onion slice, one piece of lettuce, one tiny tasteless tomato slice. Short of re-assembling the burger, what was served was the bare minimum: bun, patty and cheese, that's it. For a moment, I thought that they mistakenly served me something off of the kid's menu. For a consistently listed contender purportedly offering one of Albuquerque's top 3 hamburgers, something is wrong in Denmark, or in this case, "New" Mexico. I had to ask the server for catsup, mustard and mayonnaise. The mayonnaise I suspect wasn't healthy, avocado based, but likely canola derived. Their French fries are fried in canola oil. No brioche bun. No outstanding cheese. Salad dressing was ok, but not great. To be frank, I'd rather hit the Cheesecake Factory, Seasons (or maybe the Route 66 Diner?) as what they deliver in their burger necessarily conveys more in the way of presentation and ingredients, not to mention size. This was fine, and a huge step above fast food. That's all. In terms of service? It was acceptable. I was charged $2 extra for the dinner salad when it was offered as a free alternative to the French fries. The table was dirty as it possessed a sticky surface. Upon procuring some bar napkins, and wiping it down with water, which worked, I received an ominous, painful glare from a server. Maybe this whole ordeal is my fault as I feel that I've mastered Gordon Ramsay's F-word cheeseburger prominently aired on YouTube (viewed by 20M) on my own $109 portable grill at home. Not much compares. The thrill of biting down on a toasted brioche bun immersed in butter, stacks of onion sautéed in olive oil and pepper, a juicy, fresh brandywine tomato 3/4" slice and British white cheddar (or Tillamook) followed by savoring an Angus, grass fed 85% patty beckon my call, and I can't rid my memory of such. I would have thought that a prodigious (burger) restaurant would have invested more in the way of these above sorts of measures. Sorry, no photos as I didn't intend on writing a review. read more

I can't believe we've lived here for 12 years before visiting High Noon but we rectified that last night. I love, love love the ambience here. It's obviously a former residence with a tiny 6 foot doorway into the dining areas. We were seated in the first, darker room (the main dining room is much brighter and has higher ceilings), which definitely fit the vibe of the night: cozy, darker, warmer. Our waitress was lovely and brought us our margaritas right away. High noon, like most higher end restaurants, had about 6-8 options for margaritas: I got the Berry Margarita, with blackberry flavoring, and my husband got the spicy option with red chile and pinon salt. To start, we got the three amigos, which has chips and salsa, guac, and queso in chip bowls. The salsa was very tomato-y and probably could have used some garlic or chipotle to give it some depth. The guac was fresh and the queso was warm and cheesy. For dinner, I got the tenderloin with the mushroom enchiladas and my husband got the green chile cheesburger. My steak was tender and cooked just as specified (medium rare because I'm not an animal) and my husband's burger was the same (medium well, because....) he wasn't a huge fan of the shoestring fries, but that's usually a personal preference. I devoured the mushroom enchiladas.... Easily the highlight of the meal. The mushrooms were earthy and perfectly cooked and using them in an enchilada was new to me... yum! We had a second round of drinks in lieu of dessert and they were superb... my husband switched over to one with orange juice and said he liked that one better than the red chile option... take that for what it's worth. The ambience was lovely, the service was warm, and the food was delicious. Can't ask for more than that! Unless you are looking for a glimpse of the haunted spirits that was supposed to hang out there... we were left high and dry! Maybe next time. read more

We stopped in for a quick bite and drink. Service was decent but anything to brag about. Food was ehhhh. We got the taco trio and chile relleno. The chili was really good but that was about it. Didnt really like the rice and beans. They were too watery and the tacos were not tasty. read more

We dined at High Noon for a late weekday lunch. The restaurant is in a very touristy area in Old Town. It is super cute on the inside, nice 4 tops and large banquets available. They had everything decorated for Christmas....really cute!! Our server was very kind and efficient, even when he started getting multiple tables. Our drinks were never empty, and he was quick to bring anything we needed. I believe his name was Jerome, and he was wonderful!!! Now this is purely based on individual tastes, but our meals, while filling, just were not seasoned to our liking. The meat on the chili cheeseburger, and the pork in the burrito was really bland. I would come back for another meal here, however..... solid 4 stars. read more
