    Little Madrid is a new addition to Sawmill Market! i like that they serve tapas/small plates (from appetizers to desserts) that you can try and/or share with your friends. We shared a 7 plates combo and I honestly thought the food was tasty! The portion was relatively small, but that's the whole point of small plates! I actually liked all the plates, but thought I really liked the basque cheesecake, both the paellas (New Mexico & Valencia) and what seemed to be like arancini (crunchy on the outside but seemed to have texture of paella inside). Well, pretty much everything tasted good! Prices weren't too outrageous I don't think..especially if you are sharing the plates with someone! I liked that they opened in Sawmill and hoped more people tried them (the people seemed to like getting their full-sized dishes from other shops)..but I'm hopeful they will discover the small plates tastiness that they have been missing at Little Madrid soon!

    My first visit to this establishment, Saturday afternoon the 17th, around 4 PM. It was not crowded at that time. This is a tapas style restaurant. Reminder: the portions are tapas size, so they are smaller than typical entrees. One orders at the central counter; then seating is either inside at marble topped counters, or outside. Staff was friendly, service was fast. Very nice natural lighting at this time of day. I had three things: Paella Mariscos, patatas brava, and shrimp and cod empanada. The paella was delicious and had just the right amount of saffron in the rice. The pieces of seafood were small, and tasty. The paella disappeared before I thought to photograph it. The patatas brava were perfect and had a nice subtle aioli covering. The empanadas are interesting and flavorful; I tried to capture the filling in the photos, so you get and idea of the blend of cod and shrimp with herbs. There is nearby as part of the ambience of Sawmill. Overall then a great experience; some tasty food in nice sized servings, and then some great music outdoors.

    This place was legit!! I love Spain and it just so happens to be that San Sebastián had the best tapas in my opinion and this place reminded me of there! (The French chef actually trained in San Sebastián) I feel for tapas it is way overpriced, but that seems to be a common problem with all the eateries inside Sawmill. With that said, I suppose it's cheaper than flying to Spain haha! The flavors were very Spanish - I loved the egg salad especially. The Paella is EXCELLENT and the wine really tastes like Spanish wine (which I feel like Spain keeps their best wine to themselves, so it was very nice to feel like I was transported back to Spain with my Rioja Reserva!) The anchovies were just a touch fishy, but the pulpo (octopus) was to die for!! I Definitely want to go back and have more paella and try one of their empanadillas. Little Madrid is a great addition to Sawmill!

    Ehhh is what I thought. The basque cheesecake is pretty good. The paella which I was most excited for didn't have much flavor. It was on the drier side. The potatoes and octopus were okay. Not great not bad. It is kind of pricey but it's not terribly pricey as a sawmill market restaurant. Just a bit small. The service was fine.

    A little bit of everything (see my other photos for names)

    Located in the trendy and hip, Sawmill Market location it is a great addition to the line up available there. They have a beautiful selection of paella, cheesecake and a wide variety of tapas. It's quick and fast order service. They even have wine options available. Check out my photos for what I had. It was $7 per small selection. I got 3 options and it was fun to try a little bit of everything. This would be more fun with a larger group to share next time. There was plenty of options. Service was great and friendly. If your an adventurous eater, I would definitely check them out. So many fun and unique options to choose from. There is some wall seating inside their space. I went at lunch and it was hard to find seating indoors. I was patient and snagged a seat after a little lingering. Next time, I'll tackle their special cheesecake. It looked delicious!

    Wonderful new place to eat in the Sawmill Market near Old Town. Spanish tapas and paellas are really tasty and displayed in a unique way: the daily selections are arrayed so you can see what you want, and then there is a set price for ordering 3 or 5 or7. Easy! Staff does a nice job of explaining each dish. The seating area is a counter and stools lining the big exterior windows. For beverages, there is a nice selection of wines (bottled water too), or many other options nearby in the market. Sawmill Market has nice parking. We loved our food and will be regulars.

    A Hidden Gem for Wine Lovers in Old Town…read more Stopped into Noisy Water Winery while walking around Old Town and it ended up being one of the highlights of the afternoon. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a really cool art-gallery vibe throughout the space. It's the kind of place where you can easily lose track of time sipping wine and browsing the local artwork. The wine selection was impressive--lots of unique New Mexico wines to choose from, and the tasting flights are a great way to try several different varieties. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable, offering recommendations based on what we liked and explaining the wines without making it feel intimidating. We also tried a cheese board which paired perfectly with the wine and made the whole experience feel a little extra special. Whether you're a serious wine enthusiast or just looking for a fun stop while exploring Old Town, this place is definitely worth checking out. Great wine, great vibe, and great service. I'll absolutely be back next time I'm in the area.

Plus they have a bunch of items for sales that make great gifts. Even when busy they always manage to get to everyone fairly quick. You can buy a bottle, a glass, or do one of their tastings.

To make it more fun, they end each tasting with a green chile wine pour. Good wine, great service and they even have live music at times.

    Hidden Gem in Nobhill Albuquerque…read more I recently visited the restaurant at Mission Winery and had a great experience from start to finish. To start, I ordered the sangria and the crab & artichoke dip. The sangria was on the sweeter side but not overwhelmingly so, making it easy to enjoy with the appetizer. The dip was delicious, creamy, and packed with flavor, although I honestly couldn't taste much artichoke. It was still a great starter, especially paired with the bread. For dinner, I ordered the red chile fried chicken bites with fries. The chicken was the standout of the meal--crispy, flavorful, and coated in a delicious red chile sauce that had just the right amount of kick. The fries were perfectly cooked and paired well with the ketchup. My friend shared the appetizer with me and ordered the Chicken Caesar Salad, which she enjoyed alongside one of the wine tasting flights. The real surprise of the evening came after dinner. Our host handed us a card with a password to access the speakeasy downstairs. If you visit Mission Winery, don't skip this part. The speakeasy had a completely different atmosphere from the restaurant above and quickly became the highlight of the night. The space feels intimate, sophisticated, and thoughtfully designed, with dark wood accents, comfortable seating, and a stylish lounge vibe. My friend and I both ordered espresso martinis, and they were fantastic. The presentation alone was impressive--the unique glassware was chilled and helped keep the cocktail cold longer, allowing us to enjoy it at a relaxed pace. Between the excellent food, wine, creative cocktails, and the hidden speakeasy experience, Mission Winery offers much more than just a typical dinner out. The restaurant was great, but the speakeasy downstairs is what will have me coming back. Recommendation: Start with dinner upstairs, then ask about the speakeasy password and finish your evening downstairs with an espresso martini. It's one of the coolest date night or girls' night experiences I've found in Albuquerque.

    Greetings, discerning Yelpies !!…read more Prepare yourself for an experience where authenticity takes center stage. This is not merely a meal, but a gathering--food crafted with sincerity and served with the warmth of family. The harmony between the kitchen and the hospitality is so thoughtfully executed that departing feels almost improper. It's a rare sensation--one usually reserved for the comfort of a meal at your abuelita's table.

Prepare to wait awhile if you come during peak times. The shop is small, and the set up doesn't allow for much maneuvering inside.

Our cheese monger in Houston had several lanes to split up the "I'm here to taste cheeses" folk from the "I'm here to order a meal". That sort of method could greatly increase the speed of the waiting in line. Just something to think about if they do end up moving to a larger space in the future!

The very friendly hotel staff pointed us to Crafted NM instead, which is Hotel Chaco's ground-level bar. We weren't sure if we would be able to get in last minute, but we lucked out! Alec greeted us right away and set us up in a gorgeous corner of the patio. From there, the evening just got better and better. The menu at Crafted is AMAZING. There are a ton of local wines and you can opt to do a flight if you're curious. I did a port flight and loved it. I don't often see this on menus so it was a welcome surprise. Each pour in the flight was delicious and I loved getting to sample some local products. My fiancé got a glass of red from local winery Gruet, and later found out from Alec that it was a special, limited-edition wine from a partnership between Gruet and Crafted. Apparently you can't find it in stores, so this is the place to come for it! Separately, the food menu looked delicious but we held back since we were on our way to dinner (but in hindsight, should have gotten a snack). The gougères on the menu looked particularly appetizing!
