Easy to order, not a lot of distractions on the menu, simple decor and a small eating area. Been here once and had the Birria taco plate. Great tacos, will come back tomorrow to try something else, but the birria was so good, I might just get that again! read more

Los Pookies - Birria taco plate - Tacos Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Los Pookies is the new tenant at Magokoro's old spot. I was so, so sad to see Magokoro go, but I am happy with Los Pookies! I am certainly a fan of the birria craze that is still trending super hard. Los Pookies can feed that craving for you. I came with some co-workers for lunch. They filled Magokoro's old spot, and along with that, comes their small dining room. So if you want to come and stay to eat, come early to snag a table. All the tables were filled when we arrived. So we had to scoop up the diner seating up at the counter. A little hard to conversate when we are all sitting beside each other, rather than in front of each other, but we made it work. It was also taco Tuesday. Birria tacos are $2/each! All I wanted was birria tacos. So that's what I got, an order of 3. We also ordered the nachos with steak. We slide the plate up and down the counter to share. Like I said, we made it work. Their birria tacos are delicious. Much less "greasy" and "messy" than some of the other places in town. I appreciated that. It's nice not to get a splash of grease coming down your chin or your arm after each bite. My only qualm is that the birria tacos (only on taco tuesday) don't come with the consume. You have to be sure to order a side of it. Because let's face it, what is a birria taco without the consume? It's just a taco right? They have other birria goodness that I need to come back and try. Birria pizza, and birria ramen too! read more

I have been to Los Pookies a few times now - including once for my birthday, and I love it. This place is soooo delicious. I love the Birria Pizza and the Ramen. The service is speedy and good, the workers are kind always. It's a cute place to go with good food. It can get busy at times but that's because they make quality food (and a lot of it). It's also in a busy place of Albuquerque but it's so worth it. read more

Los Pookies was recommended by Yelp and a few days later we tried them. It was in a very central location and they will soon move to a bigger establishment on the same shopping strip. The place is small but cozy. It was busy yet everyone was comfortable. Also the service was quite prompt to get our order and helped with recommendations. We ordered the horchata in a custom made jar that deserved its own picture! We ordered the beef fajita molcajete and the birria tacos with rice and beans. They came out fast, which helped, as we were hungry. The fajitas were good, tender, juicy, tasty but not spicy. The tacos were good, tender, and cheesy. However the consomé was not what I expected. It had flavor but the flavor was not as good as other places in town. The rice and beans were lukewarm and bland. And the price was too high for what this was. Overall, this was an ok experience with its service and fajitas as the highlights! read more

Their 2 dollar birria tacos on Tuesdays are good for the price, but nothing spectacular. The consomé is usually the best part for me for birria tacos, but they give a small sauce container and I'm not sure that was even consomé. It was unlike any other consomé I've ever had atleast. Maybe they serve the more typical consomé when it's not part of the special... read more

The people there were friendly and helpful. They had lots of good suggestions of what to eat. Good place good food. Everything is very enjoyable. I will definitely go back again and again this place is a must try. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

Service is horrible, we saw two tables that sat down after us get greeted before us, had to remind the waitress twice what our drink orders were. The food is honestly nothing special, this place was recommended highly and it was honestly such a let down. read more

The chips are so delicious and fried fresh. Tacos Are fantastic too. You have to try this place.

Don't let the outside or location fool you. From the time my daughter and I walked in it was a great experience. The sever was very friendly and extremely pleasant! The food was dynamite! My daughter had the birria ramen and I had the birria pizza. Both meals were delicious and portions were huge. The pizza will feed 2/3 people. I will definitely be back!! read more

First time going to Los Pookies and had a horrible experience. I didn't know they closed at 9 and I went with two more friends around 8:40. We noticed they were cleaning up so we decided that we were going to order our food to go. We got seated and our server was super kind. While we waited for our server to get our orders we heard another server complaining about having to stay late because we had just gotten there. Him talking extremely loud about us being there close to closing time made us super uncomfortable and unwelcomed. When our food came we asked our server for to go boxes because and he insisted that we stay and eat. Overall the food was so yums and the other people working were kind, definitely not the best experience. read more

The food is good. We always order it on DoorDash. We ordered this evening and I got the pookie tacos and I'm missing my sauce and my broth. The only reason I go is for the broth and the tacos. And I didn't receive any of that. Very sad for I place I like. Wouldn't recommend even on doordash. read more

Bad business! Won't be returning or supporting anymore. Definitely better tacos in town

This place's food is by far THE BEST I've had in a long time. My family I stopped here when visiting this town and googled where to get some good food. We ordered the birria tacos, birria noodles and the birria pizza! OMG we loved everything!! This restaurant is a hidden jewel. You won't get disappointed with any of their selections I promise you!! I want to add that their customer service was excellent!! read more

Tasty mexican food, great service and a fun atmosphere. Highly recommend! I got the Torta and have absolutely no complaints!

Been here twice now, first time i had the Asada Tacos, beans and rice, and the beans were some of the best ive had. and strangely enough the next visit i noticed they are canned. but even saying that they do flavor them up perfectly. hell if they are saving a day of cooking im ok with that (some may say its cheating, but im ok with whatever they are doing because yum! ). On the 2nd visit we tried out the Birria Pizza, it was more like a tripple decker quesadilla very tasty consume, and wile a little messy it was delicious. read more

Wow, what a pleasant surprise! Great staff, neat little hole in the wall atmosphere and the food was fresh, the perfect amount of spice and came out steaming! Loved the birria tacos and the loaded fries with asada meat! We will be back very soon! read more

Went here for dinner on Sunday night with my mom and husband for dinner. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. Cheap prices as well! read more

I had a shrimp taco plate. After I opened my tacos and took off the tails on the shrimp, they were seasoned well and did taste ok. The tacos were simply a fried shell with melted cheese; it was messy getting the shrimp out to detail them. My rice was cold as if it had just come out of the refrigerator and the bowl of beans were also cold, about room temperature. The rice and beans didn't taste that great, but cold they were uneatable. We had to go to the counter to get the rest of our utensils. The waitress never came back after delivering our food. I am very disappointed and won't go back. read more

I heard the food was good? But the service lacked exponentially. No welcome at the door, we sat at a table for 10 minutes then had to get up to order at the bar which is fine if there was communication or a sign. The server didn't seem like she wanted to be there at all honestly no one seemed like they wanted to be there. Didn't even get to eat the food, because it took over an hour for a quesadilla and fries and then they tell us that they're out of something 40 minutes in so we just left. I got a refund absolutely ridiculous. read more

Really good and flavored food. We got the Birria pizza and it was so good, highly recommend. It can freed 4 ppl. My kids got their birria tacos, was also a hit. read more

Food is great no complaints. It's the unprofessional staff. I should not be waiting for an hour for 10 tacos and when I go up to the desk to ask if my order is ready the guy (not the first guy I checked in with) hands me my order that has been sitting there. No one called me or announced my order when it was sitting there in the front. read more

Dinner tonight was delicious I would love to come back again. Service was very good as well. read more

I was really excited to try Los Pookies, but unfortunately it didn't meet our expectations. We went over there last Friday afternoon and found the place to be small with limited seating. We had to sit on a stool side by side next to the window. I had ordered the birria tacos and queso fundido. The wife had ordered the combination fajitas, but got the steak fajitas instead. My rating was based on the following: 1. Waitress offered me a refill on the small horchata, but never provided a refill. 2. Fundido was not like pictured/described, but instead a large glob of mozzarella like cheese with NO chorizo(burnt cheese on top). 3. Waitress was inattentive and never asked about food, but looked at us funny as we complained about the food. Gave funny look to me at checkout. 4. Birria tacos tasted like straight pot roast with pot roast juice as consume(not good). 5. The horchata was tasty so I gave + 1 star as the only thing pleasant. Overall, poor quality service and food. Would not recommend at this time. read more

If I could give a zero I would no one should wait 45 minutes for them to even start my order especially if I'm dining in for 2 people the cooks and front house need to learn how to prioritize orders and costumers with dine in and to go orders. So ridiculous That's why Red Taco shop will smack any birria place in ABQ read more

Drove across town just to try this place and they are closed at 6pm on a Monday when both Google and yelp show that they are open.

We ate here last night and both of us got food poisoning! We were up all night with intestinal problems and had not eaten another meal that day so we knew it had to be this restaurant. The food was horrible, we only ate it because it is a small family owned restaurant and we were trying to support them. We will not return and wanted to warn you about the lack of good food and good service. read more

Awesome food and the restaurant is quite cute! Quick service as well! Highly recommend the tacos and birra pizza. However, wasn't too fond of the queso. read more

Tried this place as I saw on IG. Staff was very friendly. I order the tacos as well as the ramen. I enjoyed the tacos more. The ramen I think the consumé was too salty and the ramen is just the regular instant ramen so I would not order it again if I come back. Decoration was minimal but overall the place is clean which is a plus. read more

Meh- best Birria tacos is actually in the most unusual spot- Smokin Oak BBQ in Vancouver, Washington. Enchiladas came out cold in the middle. After reheating, the flavor was actually very good. Chorizo was decent- good flavor. Beans were rather plain. Rice slightly under seasoned. read more

Just ok/not awful. Chicken had zero seasoning/flavor. Torta was on day old baguette. Prob won't be back.

Ate here for the first time and it was excellent. Had the guacamole and the birria tacos and I'll definitely be coming back!

First time. Ordered food for 5 at our office. EVERYONE was thrilled. The food was terrific, plenty of it and priced reasonably. I will be back with my wife. read more
