    My first visit to this establishment was June 2, 2026. I met a friend there for lunch. There is nice signage and very good parking. Staff are friendly. Seating looks to be about 20 people on one side and then on the other side of the restaurant it opens up to another large seating area. The decor is lively and interesting. I ordered the bistec ranchero. It came with the side of salad with a slice of avocado, Mexican style, rice, and refried beans. The beef was well cooked and had a nice subtle spicy flavor. My friend ordered pancakes and described them as good. Prices are excellent. The menu chose many choices of typical Mexican style food.

    Chicken enchiladas

    The food was fantastic! We got tacos, birria tacos and the enchiladas. All of them were amazing. Their salsa was amazing. All the food we had in there were amazing. Cons The service could be faster but they only had one waiter. The neighborhood is very bad and their parking lot is small.

    This is a hidden gem it's tucked away and from the outside you wouldn't think that it's a restaurant. The decor inside is beautiful the customer service was great. It was very busy but that didn't affect our service at all. The food was incredible I'd highly recommend coming here. The pozole was like a warm hug to my stomach.

    Menudo soooo good..

    Hands down really good menudo coming from Los Angeles looking for a menudo spot found it. Looks beautiful inside and very clean...

    Menudo

    Great homey Mexican food. Menudo was great, the soup was yummy and they gave a lot of tripe. Tacos were good, very crispy. Wished the meat was a bit more tender and more flavorful. Consume was hecka oily and wished it was a bit more flavorful. Parking was a little funky, not super clear on which spots are designated parking for the restaurant.

    takitos ahogados, delicious...

    My daughter found it on Instagram, said she wanted to try it. When I saw the parking lot I was a little apprehensive (I'm in a wheelchair) but once I turned to the door, it was great. They had a ramp and inside the tables were tall enough for my chair to fit. Evi the waitress was great, she answered all the questions we tossed at her. The food was amazing, me being on a keto diet, most restaurants don't have much of a choice. They do. The food was great and I got a plate called augachillis, it was spicy but I gobbled it down, (I like spicy). I thought it was going to be expensive but it wasn't overly priced like some places. I will definitely be going back.

    Menudo so good

    The menudo is incredibly delicious here. Every ingredient is cooked perfectly and the flavor is what you would expect from Mexican home cooking, just like abuela used to make. It's served with buttered bread that you can dip into the soup, and there are side toppings like lime , onions, Chilli, and cilantro that you can choose to add if you wish. The queso birria tacos are good too but definitely second best to the menudo. The menudo is a must try. Also, pro tip, the size small plus the bread alone is enough to fill you up, I had to stuff myself to eat the rest. The servers are friendly; they speak both Spanish and English, and the ambiance gives very much like small mom pop Mexican restaurant. They usually play some lively music in one of the rooms and there's another one quieter room if you want to talk to the person you game with.

    Chilaquiles w/fried eggs (we'd already started. Eating when we remembered to snap a picture).

    On the corner of Zuni and Pennsylvania, there is no signage other than a small "abierto" sign. Although in a slightly sketchy area, the restaurant is totally pristine with a small parking lot or street parking available. Lots of locals which is a major tell on how good this place is. The inside area was full of people, so we were offered the patio. Fully enclosed w/space heaters - was perfect. We ordered chilaquiles with both green & red chile with eggs over easy (less than $12). Service was excellent and food came out fairly quickly. Seemed almost everyone on the patio was ordering chilaquiles! Food was perfect, green chile fairly spicy on the tongue, but sooo tasty. Red sauce also good, but if we go again - will go verde all the way. Bathrooms were spotless as well. Highly recommend this place! Se

    Gorditas de Leche
    John D.

    Ah another hole-in-the-wall. My favorite type of Mexican restaurant. Located in a repurposed house it's small, minimal tables but there's a patio area. Grab a menu and decide our breakfast. Order at the counter and wait for delivery of our menudos. While we wait we bought a package of Gorditas de Leche. They were not overly sweet, definitely good. The menudo arrived in huge bowls accompanied by toasted bread. I keep forgetting that most places we've been to serve bread instead of tortillas. The Menudo was excellent, good mix of meat to broth and best of all - not a lot of grease. Definitely a great stop this morning. My only issue was it was a little hard to navigate parking. It's not well defined as a parking area. We parked on the street and went thru a gate.

    Chips and Salsa
    Lamont W.

    Seriously the best birria tacos in the 505. This spot is in the hood where it's all good. It's not a very big spot but it's plenty of space to sit and take down the best birria tacos in Abq. The service is great and the food comes out pretty fast. I definitely recommend stopping in for a bite.

    Green Chile Chicken enchiladas
    Corina D.

    This place is a delicious little hidden gem!! There's a difference between New Mexican cuisine and Mexican cuisine. Not in a bad way by any means, but their spices and preparation are different. This place is as authentic Mexican cuisine as you can get. I had green chile chicken enchiladas and boy are they amazing. They are rolled, stuffed with chicken and cheese, and topped with a delicious green jalapeños and tomatillo sauce, queso cotija, and onions. The refritos are creamy and the rice is perfect!! The service was quick and friendly, but it looks like they may get busy during lunch. The cute little restaurant also has a covered patio that seems to be the favorite place to sit. Oh and how can I forget! They also serve fresh warm chips and homemade red salsa.

    Definitely recommend this place for food, cleanliness and kindness! The food was absolutely delicious, flavorful and made to order. My wife and I ordered a couple of things to share since we've never been here before, we ordered Menudo, chips and salsa, shrimp cocktail with everything in it and lastly queso barria tacos! Honestly I couldn't pick a favorite, they were equally delicious. I love the inside but there is also a patio. I felt very safe everything was super clean, there's hand sanitizer on the table. And everybody including the cooks are wearing masks and gloves.
