The food was made with true love and was so flavorful. In fact, I had to meet the person who cooks with such love and get a picture to her.

Wish I had pictures but it was all too delicious I ate it all! I got the Caldo de pollo which was…read morethe best I've had here in NM! Not many places have it and usually when I order it I'm sorely disappointed but not here! It also came with homemade corn tortillas, chicken was tender and cooked to perfection, broth was clear and flavorful. My daughter likes the pancakes and fried egg which always comes out delicious! My other daughter got the bean burrito which is gave 2 thumbs up on. Last time we came here I ordered the enchilada plate with carne and a taco and that was also delicious! This place is a hidden gem, delicious food, clean, friendly customer service overall, I'll be back again and again!

We were in the mood for Latin food so we decided to try Guava Tree. I ordered the Cubano and hubby…read moreordered the Pelotero. The cubano was decent a little too much mustard for my taste which made the whole sandwich too tangy for me. The Pelotero was much better with deeper flavors in the meat, beans and rice. Honestly I ended up switching plates with my hubs because his food was way better. The place is small and cute and you do have to order your food at the counter and then they bring it out to your table. The bathroom is super tiny but clean. Prices are a little bit higher than I expected for the amount of food we received. Overall a nice find

Our daughter and husband suggested this restaurant which we visited on a weekday night. Friendly…read moreand attentive staff welcomed us despite the fact the place was packed! Our attentive hostess explained the menu, promptly submitted our appetizer and main course selections, and kept us supplied with drinks while we eagerly awaited our entrees. The food is locally prepared, and the passion and expertise of the chefs is evident in the fresh, hot meals they prepare. The taste of the typical fare was beyond our expectations, and we didn't have to force ourselves to visit a second time within 7 days! The restaurant clientele included couples, families, and singles; all received excellent, attentive service coupled with aromatic items on the menu . The atmosphere was warm and inviting; noise levels from content patrons were easily tolerable. I strongly recommend this restaurant, and, if you're lucky, you'll probably see my family there when you visit! Management appreciated our comments and welcomed us back for more exceptional dining experiences!

The sopapillas were amazing though. The service was quick and friendly. The dining room was packed so I definitely think theres a market for this food. Would I eat it again? Yeah for sure. Would I go out of my way for it or choose to eat it over other NM places? No, not really.

It's a 24 oz container and they stuff it to the brim. The salsas were delicious! The meat - savory! Once you start making your way towards the middle to bottom of the container - that's when everything really comes together. Each bite was exciting and even though I was feeling full, I still wanted another bite. There's a slew of food trucks here at Central and 86th - why has no one in ABQ told me about this Mexican Food truck heaven?! Again - Mexican! NOT New Mexican. Omg this was so great. Can't wait to come back to order more chilaquiles and also support the other food trucks in the area.

Our meals came with free soup which I've never had before at a Mexican restaurant. The soup was quite tasty. Everything was yummy, although the beef ribs I ordered was a bit tough it was very flavorful. I especially loved the fresh horchata. Service was good, although we did come with someone that spoke Spanish and she did all the ordering and speaking for us.

Family-owned…read moreand serving the community from the same location since 1980, this 46-year institution feels warm, welcoming, and completely authentic. The staff treated us like family from the moment we walked in. Their friendliness and genuine hospitality made an already great breakfast even better. We enjoyed the carne adovada omelet with beans and home fries, along with carne adovada topped with two eggs over easy, beans, and home fries. The corn tortillas were perfect, the black coffee hit the spot, and everything was absolutely fabulous. The carne adovada was rich, flavorful, and unmistakably New Mexican. There is nothing corporate or manufactured about this place--it is full of Albuquerque character, family history, and local color. El Sabor de Juarez serves honest, authentic food made by people who clearly care about their customers and their community. This is exactly the kind of family-owned restaurant Albuquerque should treasure and support. We will definitely be back!

Upon entering…read morethe restaurant and seeing the tables full in people chowing down, I knew I was going to have a good time. The owner greeted and served me during lunchtime. Quick to provide recommendations like the limonada (fresh lemonade) that reminded me of my mom's recipe. He sold me on the sopaipilla with carne adovada. While my food was getting ready, he gave me a carne adovada sample to try - warm, spicy, savory pork in su jugo "juices" *wiping away my drool*. The sopaipilla was huge! I felt like I got the works! The bread was soft and great for scooping up the meat, beans, cheese, lettuce, and guacamole that filled it. I went into a mini food coma and had to say no to the sopaipilla with honey for dessert (still thinking about it). They sell small knick knacks like candy, toys, and earrings at the register. I especially liked the earrings! This is an Albuquerque must for authentic Mexican food! Your waistline will not thank you later.
