Went for breakfast after a year or so not being back. The flavor of the food, the waitstaff has remained the same. The quality continues to be amazing. The food comes out hot and fast. The green chile is definetly much spicer than the red, but the red chile has an amazing flavor. I ordered the huevos rancheros with eggs over medium. My husband ordered his usual (2 eggs over medium, sourdough toast, sausage and a side of green chile). The wait staff kept up on the ice tea. The food is priced right. I highly recommend if you want food that tastes just like grandmas. read more

This is such a great spot. Great old diner with some great chile. The frito pie is as good as any you will find. Excellent Huevos, enchiladas and burritos. Non- chile items also great. Save room for homemade pies. Service is efficient and friendly. read more

Very friendly and attentive service! The red and green were milder than I like but still tasty. Portions were average and not huge like many other places here in the Duke city. read more

Our Saturday breakfast spot! I always order the same thing, ham and cheese omelet with hashbrowns, tortilla, and peach or raspberry iced tea. I just love it so much that I can't get off of this choice! My friends always get the huevos rancheros or the carne adovada, we are just creatures of habit! This place is just a traditional diner and busy all morning long! Service is super-fast and friendly! read more

While driving through New Mexico on our Route 66 trip we read in our guide book that Loyola's Family Restaurant was a great place to eat, so we gave it a try and were glad we did. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and seated. I ordered Super Breakfast Burrito and my wife ordered the Mexican Breakfast both came with red and green sauce. We also ordered 4 Sopapillas. Everything was great and we also had a great waiter. The place was immaculately clean even the bathrooms. One other bonus this restaurant was used in several films and the series Breaking Bad. There were several photos on the wall of actors who had been inside the building filming. This was a great place to visit. We will definitely be back. read more

One of the best staples in Albuquerque, great food and service. Ask for Shannon. The Carne special on Saturday mornings is a must try.

It's another Breaking Bad/ Better Call Saul location. We came on a Wednesday at 8:30 am, plenty of parking and we had the pick of the place if we wanted to sit in the "Better Call Saul" booth. The restaurant is known for their pozole (according to an article posted on the cashier booth) yet everyone seems to get the breakfast burrito, Christmas style. As much as I was craving pozole, I went with the breakfast burrito, bacon, Christmas style. Stephen went with the same but with chorizo. The waitress said the green chili can be a bit spicy, and she was right. It doesn't hit you until you're chewing, and then you feel the heat. I mixed the green and red to cool it down. It's still delicious, but I swear my tastebuds are still tingling. The burrito filled me up until dinner... no lunch for me. read more

We haven't been here in a while. We both had huevos Rancheros with green chile (one on the side). They are so fast at getting your food out hot and fresh. Quality is so consistent. Staff is always friendly. Love feeling at home with home cooked food. If you haven't tried this local gem, it's a must! read more

Really attentive service and delicious breakfast. Had not dined in this space for 47 years!!

So, you have to go to Loyola's when visitors come in to Albuquerque... ya know, cuz of Breaking Bad. Anyway, good food, reasonable prices, big portions and nice service. Breakfast Burrito with red and green sauces (Christmas style) seems to be a favorite. read more

This local diner is a goldmine of flavor and green and red chili delight. I wanted a green chili omelet n with sausage and a cup of pozole. The waitress said almost anything was already on the menu. She was right. It was called the cactus omelet. The breakfast plate came with toast and potatoes and was more food than most people will be able to eat. But I must say get a cup of the pozole with green or red chili's or both. It was exactly what I wanted on a cold day on February. Great for breakfast and Brunch the are open only til 2pm weekdays see photos for hours. The staff here are on top of it. Thanks for an amazing brunch in Albuquerque. If you want to feel like your at home or at friends house try a meal at Loyola's. read more

Great locals spot on ROUTE 66. Old school feel with lots of variety on the menu. I got Loyola's Special - 3 egg omelette filled with seasoned ground beef. The beef was delicious. I'm also a big fan of hot, hot coffee and lots of refills. The server did a great job. Next time, I'll try the Mexican omelet or Sarah's special. I'm might look around a little more too. Apparently, this restaurant was used several times as a filming location for Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. read more

We had a great breakfast here with the family last week. The food was great and came out quickly. The service was friendly and great. And if you're a Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul fan, it's fun to get to see one of the places they did production at for the shows. We had a cozy booth and loved the old school diner feel. Definitely go check it out! read more

Food is home made diner food with New Mexican flavor. They are open for breakfast and lunch. Staff is friendly and quick with service since as the building does not have many tables each server can spend time with the customer. If you want an authentic New Mexican breakfast try Loyolas. read more

Don't think I have been at Loyola's in thirty years. It was delicious. Mini hievos rancheros was perfect. Egg done the way I like it. Their potatoes are homemade & to die for. Green chili and red chili authentic. Burrito was good. Spinach omlet terrific as well. Plenty to choose from on the menu. Clean as well. Our server was attentive and thorough. Kept the coffee coming without us asking. It was a pleasure. Will go have breakfast there again. read more

Man oh man, I just adore Loyola's!! Delicious food, attentive service, an authentic diner ambiance...consistently great. After seeing it on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, I made sure to visit this place on my travel to ABQ. Such a great choice, it was better than I expected. The first time I went was during the pride parade. It wasn't as busy as I had expected and the service was great. Angela consistently refilled my iced tea and made sure I was attended to. I got the chimichanga plate, which was delicious! The two sopapillas were freshly made, warm, and just the right amount of thickness. I ordered the chimichanga christmas style, and found the red to be a little too spicy personally (my spice tolerance is medium) but both chiles had great flavor. The second time I got Sarah's Special and coffee. Again, both were great. Really love their green chile. That being said, Loyola's isn't necessarily cheap for ABQ but is definitely worth the price. Can't wait for the next time I dine here!! read more

Ate here twice! We were in town for the ballon festival and stayed nearby. Loved the food, service and value. We had the cinnamon roll, which was so delicious! We also had basic eggs and an omelette but smothered in a very tasty green chili. We had a different server each day and both were friendly and efficient. Definitely coming back if in the area. (Note, they are closed on Sundays & Monday's) read more

Loyola's Family Restaurant - Cheese omelette, cinnamon roll and eggs smothered in green chili. - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Loyola's is a beloved neighborhood diner located in a part of East Nob Hill that feels preserved in time. Private lot with many spots, and abundant street parking as well. They open at 5:00 AM, so early birds are welcome. On my first visit, I had the carne adovada and eggs. The carne was soft and flavorful; the eggs, over medium, like I requested. Beans and potatoes filled the plate, and I ate every bite. Absolutely delicious. Today I returned with my girlfriend for brunch. We shared a couple of plates, both of which were good, though not at the same pinnacle as my first encounter. The breakfast burrito seemed a bit haphazard, with the eggs at one end and potatoes at the other. Like much of the menu, it's also a couple bucks more expensive than it should be. The Loyola's special omelette was big, but greasy. The potatoes were oily, as was the ground beef inside the omelette. And yet, the chile is so good here, I can't get upset. They offer it in bulk as well, perfect for family events, birthday parties, etc. The service is also fast and attentive here. I'll definitely be back. read more

Loyola's is a classic 'round here. Back in the late 80s early 90s we knew it as Loyola's Cactus Flower, and the stuffed sopapillas were a staple for me. The breakfast give me all the down to earth diner feels, and the chile was fantastic this morning!! (the waitress gave us multiple warnings about how hot the green was, and it truly was, but oh so flavorful). Their papas hit the spot, just like my mother in law makes them. The service was prompt, and we had a blast chatting about iconic scenes from Breaking Bad and Better Saul Call where this location was used to film. I'm really happy to see this place thriving. read more

If anyone's coughing coming out of here it's because the Chile is hot. Today on the recommendation of Angela, I ordered the Mexican pizza, "Christmas" - red and green Chile - with pinto beans. It was delicious, the sopapilla was warm and fluffy, just a nice texture. I had a great time. I know it's changed since the last time I dined in. I did bring a mask with me but eventually took it off to eat. They are cleaning all menus, seating and tabletops between customers. The place was already clean well before covid, and now the staff merely hold the same high standards as before. read more
