    My first visit to this business was at noon on August 19th. I was in the mood for light lunch. Parking is a bit tricky here, but with a little looking around found a space fairly close. A small, cozy place, with friendly staff. Very clean, unpretentious decor. I dined in with a nice bowl of beans with chili and cheese. I noticed that about 50% of the customers were greeted by name; indicating to me that there is a deservedly loyal clientele. I will return to try other menu items; for now I got a distinct feeling of New Mexico comfort food. Prices are low (shhhhhh). Also, please note that the cook and kitchen are in full view, and the chef said thanks to me as I left. I always like being able to see the kitchen. To me that is marker of high hygiene standards.

    A lovely, small family-owned business in the downtown area that serves food ready to go by 5:30 am. Their specialty are breakfast burritos, but they have other things as well. I ordered the steak breakfast burrito which came with potatoes, red chile, cheese and steak. It was good, especially for $6!

    For the price these are the best value breakfast burritos in town. They recently increased their price which wasn't ideal. If they keep raising the price I'll just go somewhere else. Service was friendly and food came out quick. Location is decent. I find the sitting options to be okay. Overall the environment is clean and bright.

    The burrito was amazing. So much flavor. I got bacon with green. The burger and fries were yummy too. Parking is difficult but it's worth it.

    The entrance.   $3.75 breakfast burritos!

    We arrived just before closing and they had been slammed at breakfast so were out of tortillas. They were super apologetic and offered to make us shredded beef burrito bowls instead. Run by a husband/ wife team out of a converted house, it feels like walking into someone's home for lunch. Everything was fresh and tasty.

    Love this cute little place! This is the reason I love yelp. Small, local places with affordable, delicious food! I don't particularly love going downtown mostly due to parking. Immediately in front of the restaurant is a 15min loading great for takeout but just down the street is free street parking. Their menu prices are unfortunately difficult to see, but wow their breakfast burrito is only $3.75! Even fast food chains can't go that low. The staff is very kind, the woman who greeted me was very nice, and in the very short time I waited for my burrito knew multiple customers by first name, I was impressed. Went with the bacon green chile breakfast burrito, one of the best breakfast burritos I've had, and I've had MANY breakfast burritos. Nice amount of heat, not too much potatoes (ratio is key), and they use real eggs - you can tell while eating it. None of that liquid egg crap. Real cheese to boot, and for a few bucks, it's win win win! They do have a lunch menu, I'll keep coming back for more! Come try this local hot spot that made the top 100 list!

    Hmmm, small place just another hole in the wall, family operated biz. Nice and modern inside with very few tables. We ordered Huevos Rancheros & the Breakfast Plate with bacon & green chile at the counter. My coffee came from a small coffee maker - self serve. But it was hot & fresh. Our food was delivered and dining began. The huevos rancheros came with 2 over easy eggs done perfectly. The beans were whole - not refried. Everything was covered with melted cheese. The breakfast bowl came with scrambled eggs, not overdone, potatoes, bacon and of course the green chiles. It was also covered with cheese. Both meals were well made, flavorful and filling. You can tell the difference between this food and something from a high customer turnover restaurant. Small is just better. I was surprised that there were only 54 reviews for a biz that has been around 23+ years. But they were doing a brisk business in to-go orders, filling many in the short time we were there. Food was great, conversation friendly and our breakfast was reasonably priced. For us this is a be back soon place!

    My wife and I recently went to Cocina Azul for a weekend dinner and had a great experience. Even…read morethough we came without a reservation and the restaurant was busy, we were able to get a table in under 10 minutes. Our service was outstanding-food came out quickly and our server quickly and easily was able to accommodate some minor modifications to our dishes. We started our dinner by sharing the guacamole salad, chips, salsa verde, and salsa rojo. The guacamole was rich, fresh, and creamy, and the chips were warm, crispy, with the right amount of salt. The salsa verde was delicious; the salsa rojo was OK. I got the sample platter for my main dish; I particularly liked the brisket taco. I highly recommend going to Cocina Azul if you are in Albuquerque!

    We were looking for lunch after arriving in Albuquerque and were happy to be seated quickly when we…read morearrived. We ordered the green chile stew, fish tacos, green/red wet burrito with steak and taco salad with steak. They accidentally brought shrimp tacos instead of the fish, so we got to try those too. Everything was decent. - Green chile stew: good flavor. A little spicy for some. Liked that it was served with a tortilla. - Taco salad: got it with rice and beans. Steak was good. - Red/green wet burrito with steak: Really good flavor. Loved the combo of the sauces. Side of pozole was also delicious. - Fish tacos: the fish was nice and crispy, but I didn't love the cremas, which in my opinion are key to a good fish taco. The papas side was delish. The beans side was a bit salty. The horchata had good flavor but seemed a bit watery. The Diet Coke was good (looks like they recently switched from Pepsi since some of the menus still said Pepsi). The seating area is large. The AC was on a little high -- we had to go to the car for jackets.
