Limited seating. Noisy. Parking is minimal. Clean. Service was slow but understandable since it was Father's Day. First time here. You must request a complimentary Chips & Salsa (1 order). I ordered the Carne Adovada lunch plate. Decent, but I've had better. I was blown away by seeing the price of Combination plate. $20.00! I may return. read more

Food is good. Chili is excellent. Service is always great. Very pricey tho. Not sure it's worth the cost. It was over $60 +tip for breakfast for three. They also do not give tortillas with the huevos rancheros, that'll cost you $3. Water also tastes like crap. read more

Perea's is one of our favorite breakfast/brunch places: the huevos rancheros are top notch (red, green, or Christmas)! Casual local vibe packed with families. You'll wait for a table, but it's worth it. read more

We were disappointed. We have gone to Perea's years ago and loved it. The green chili was not as hot but it was tasty. Our problem was with the temperature of the food. It was lukewarm. It had obviously been cooked ahead of time (we ordered bacon, egg & potato burritos with green). I t was very busy and service was good. Our dining companions had huevos that they said was fine. Our burritos looked like they used to but were mostly flour tortillas. read more

Go where the locals go. I had asked last night where I needed to go for breakfast and this is one of the two spots I was told not to miss in ABQ. Sunday morning was busy but a table for one opened up after about 15 minutes. Warmly greeted by my waitress who brought a menu and coffee. I chose the Huevos Rancheros and selected both red *and* green chile. It didn't take long before it arrived. While it doesn't photograph well, it was absolutely delicious. A big portion with two fried eggs hash browns, tortilla and shredded cheese. A meal worthy of a ranch hand indeed. [Review 21079 overall - 126 in New Mexico - 42 of 2024.] read more

This place is incredible! We went to a lot of New Mexican restaurants around Albuquerque in the same weekend, and this was the standout restaurant! My grandma said she just wanted to eat the chile with a spoon, it was so good! Extremely kind staff as well. Highly, highly recommend! read more

The mission to find breakfast places continues, and Perea's got their turn. This unassuming place feels almost hidden from the traffic on Juan Tabo, yet the visible sign has caught our attention many times. The decor is simple and unequivocally New Mexican. A mix of young and seasoned patrons, couples, friends, and families filled the space. Our server was quite kind and helpful when choosing our plates. We got the huevos rancheros and adobada with an egg plates. The adobada tasted like home! The green chile was nice and spicy, and the red chile was powerful and spicier. Both plates needed a bit of salt for the flavors to pop and harmonize, and overall it was a nice experience that we would likely want to have again. Until next time! read more

We ate at Pereas last week. The location has ample parking with a handicap spot out front. The dining room was clean and well lit. The waitstaff were patient, knowledgeable about the menu, and quick. The food was outa sight with a northern New Mexico style not commonly found this far south of Santa Fe. I enjoyed a beef stuffed sopilla with red chile. The sopapilla was perfectly tender and crispy at the same time. The red sauce was rich in body and flavor with a chimayo vibe. Just spicy enough without being overly hot. The huevos rancheros that Sarah had was equally exceptional with everything on the plate made to perfection.Quick personable service and great food. Definitely going back for some more of this authentically delicious food. read more

Super loud little place, so folds aren't going for the ambiance. The servers seem to try really hard, but man, this place is unbelievably understaffed. On a positive note, there is always a line. So the foods gotta be good, right? Well, maybe. I'm a big fan of Carne Adovada, so I've been three time recently. The first time was excellent. The second time was completely different food (even though I ordered the same thing). It was just okay. The third time, they brought me the wrong food, and never came back. I gave up and just ate it, and it was also just okay. I haven't been back, but I sue miss that Carne they served me the first time. read more

If you want HOT authentic New Mexican food Perea's is the place to go. Always fresh and delicious. I usually go for the 1/2 order of the huevos but have had many other items. It's a small establishment but they're pretty fast. To-go ordering is available. read more

Perea's New Mexican Restaurant - 1/2 Order Huevos Rancheros XMAS chile. - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

All was forgiven until.... We ate there about 2 or 3 months ago and haven't been back. My husband's expensive huevos rancheros which consists of a tortilla, 2 scrambled eggs, refried beans and chile, is now the size of a mini huevos. He was disgusted but ate it. On our way out he got the "day old" tortillas. We got home and put them in the fridge. The next day we're going to have them with our breakfast and they were moldy. The only reason I gave them two stars is because my refried bean and Chicharron burrito was as good as usual... I'm sad we won't be back...but read more

This is such an underrated gem- I've been coming here since I was a kid and my mom has been coming here since she was a kid. This is true authentic new mexican food, prices are good and so is their service. If you're not from here make sure to check it out to try some of the best chili in new mexico. If you're a resident and haven't been, this will be your new go-to restaurant. Indoor seating with new mexican decor makes it even better. This is my favorite New Mexican restaurant definitely give it a try!!! read more

This little restaurant is a treasure. It's got limited hours (closes at 1:30) but the food is delicious. If you're craving excellent Mexican food, this is THE place to go. It's tiny so you may have to wait 10-15 minutes to be seated. Not a fancy destination...just really good food and friendly people. read more

I love this mom and pop restaurant for a morning of delicious food and wonderful conversation. I have never had bad service here at Perea's. This morning was no different. Today we ordered food to go. They open at 8am so I called around 7:50 to see if they were taking food orders yet and they did!! I got there around 8:05 and our food was already ready to go. We both got Huevos with refried beans, corn tortilla, over medium eggs, and red chili. I was glad that they offer a half order. Every time I come here I am satisfied with my food. Cheers! read more

Long John Silver don't live here no mo. But Perea's does. It's a perfect place for a hole in the wall and I got a lot of love for em. In we go all 11 tables occupied so it's a short wait. Our server shows up, young guy, great attitude & let the joking begin. Although the food is no joke! It was the Beef Chimichanga, hold the rice & beans and red chile in the side. It came out nicely fried, stuffed with meat and not holding up the weight of 1/2lb of cheese. They let diners know their chile is hot - yes it was. I'm not a good judge of "hot" for me it was warm, others - well??? Be warned. The Mrs got 2 eggs with chorizo mixed in. It was excellent, they didn't skimp on the chorizo either. It looked like more chorizo than eggs & it had a bite to it. It came with a thick tortilla, not a fan I prefer mine thin. Our meal was reasonably priced and delicious. Good food + excellent service = 5 stars & server well tipped. read more

Coming for years when visiting ABQ. Ordered two egg potato burritos with chile verde. $27 and I tipped 5. I got chilis but had no usual pork remnants in its Tortillas are still amazing. $2 extra charge per burrito!!!!!!!!! Eggs aren't that expensive. We run a successful lil restaurant like Pereas and don't up charge for eggs. I had a smattering of egg in each one. I'm skinny and athletic so I'm not taking like a gordito. Then they put chile over the burritos do I couldn't eat them with my hands. Cashier gave me attitude and accused me of asking for them that way. I said "two egg potato burritos with chile." So, if I want egg and potatoes w chile give me the eggs I paid extra for. read more

We stopped for a Sunday morning breakfast. This location is currently undergoing some work on the exterior. Inside, there is no signs of any update. Several tables, mismatched chairs, a few NM-related pieces of artwork dot the walls. My sister ordered a chicharrón burrito. My mother asked for some eggs and bacon. I ordered a bacon omelet with green chile and refried beans. The omelet and bacon were fine. The green chile didn't have much heat nor flavor. The refried beans had a strange taste. I could taste something smoky like they were fried in bacon grease, but they also had a taste reminiscent of burnt beans. My dish would have been better if it had been served with some tortilla. My sister was less-than-pleased with her burrito; eating only a portion of it. My mother was happy with her breakfast, other than her eggs not getting cooked how she requested. My iced tea was good. Service was ok. I remember Perea's being better, but that was when I lived in Albuquerque, many years ago. read more

If you like great Mexican food, and you like it hot, this is the place to go! I had the Weber rancheros with red and green chili, and it was nothing short of awesome! The place is crowded, which is good meaning, returning customers and nobody complaining about the food.again, if you like your food on the spicy and hot side, this place is legit! Friendly staff, Barry, attentive and fast! Places clean, and a great atmosphere. Seemingly a family owned restaurant. Again, check this place out! read more

Food is wonderful and well worth the reasonable prices. The whole beans are excellent and the Sopapillas are divine. I swear they float down to the plate from heaven. Pearea's does an exceptional job on the Sopapilla and offers chorizo. The problem is service. Perea's employees do not help one another. The front desk is overwhelmed consistently with customers paying for meals such that those waiting to be seated get backed up. And waiting time of customers is apparently of NO CONCERN to Perea's. Evidently the front desk person is also supposed to wash off tables before seating new customers. However the same tables were washed off by waitresses while people were STILL waiting. Lots of open tables and NO one is being seated! Frustrated, I asked a waitress why she wasn't seating people while the front desk person was busy. Her reply was that this WASN'T HER RESPONSIBILITY. Then the front desk person begins to seat people all at once, creating a cyclical burden on cooking and waitress staff. I watched this happen during my one hour breakfast that could have taken 45 minutes as it does in most well-run breakfast restaurants. Customers are all waiting more than they should, management can improve the situation by getting staff to work together. read more

I would like to update my review and provide evidence for my accusations. (Check photo of my meal vs. other pics of half huevos rancheros orders.) We just ordered Perea's for the first time in awhile and we were SO EXCITED! We ordered on Doordash because we have a toddler who is out of control. :D I was so sad when I opened up my half huevos rancheros order. Usually, when I ordered previously, I would have a small carry out box FILLED with a tortilla, a bunch of hash browns, and an egg with cheese and chili. Just enough for one person to be filled up but not over-full. This time however, I had about a quarter cup of hash browns, one egg, one corn tortilla. It was TINY. Literally toddler sized. It's sucks to spend $8 on such a small amount of food... Such good food but the restaurant cuts too many corners. We will be permanently getting our chili fix from Barela's from here on out. read more

BEET GREEN CHILE EVER. It is not for the faint of heart, though! I'm obsessed with the Huevos Rancheros! Perea's has never done me wrong. It's disappointing that they have such inconvenient hours, cause I'd eat here all the time if I wasn't living and working in Sant Fe. If you want an authentic chile experience, and it happens to be within their business hours, GO FOR IT! read more

Working in the restaurant business , I know how important it is to hire great staff, in order to bring customers back. Perea's is a very tasty and most of the time are welcoming and work very efficiently , but today we encountered a very discourteous and unwelcoming waitress.. When taking our order she basically forced us to place our order, not being ready. I continued to order chips and salsa and in the end we didn't get them anyway. She ignored us and when we brought it to her attention and ask to take the chips and salsa off , she stated they were free anyway.. Before we were seated I had already heard this waitress telling the cashier staff,that she was basically tired and done for the day, so when realizing we got her as our waitress, I already did not have high expectations. You may be done, but the customers want a great experience and do not want to hear this. I really hope customer service is taken as a priority and corrected when not. Thank you to the great waitresses that do work there and are always welcoming, regards to how busy they get. read more

Everything is really good The huevos Rancheros are excellent But the chile rellenos are to die for.

Took my mom here over the weekend as she's been wanting to try it. Wasn't overly impressed at all. I ordered a combination plate. The taquitos were ice cold. I asked for them to be reheated. The brought all items of my combination plate separately and at different times. First i got the enchilada, had to wait several minutes, then i got my taco, waited several more minutes then i got the taquitos. Not sure what was going on staff wise. Food was fair. read more

Finally made it here! Came with 3 friends for breakfast. A bit of a modest place, not huge, nothing fancy. Prices are also modest which I applaud. Service was fast and efficient, so was the kitchen's response time. We were all happy with our dishes and would be happy to return again to try some additional fare. (A week later) So, I have twice ordered online this week and I have to say that I am impressed with their online ordering system. It is quick and efficient. Customizations are easy to make and it saves the cashier time in not having to answer the phone. Give it a try! read more

Perea's is one of my favorite spots when I get a craving for New Mexican food. The Red Chile is delicious, the Green is nice and hot, and the the coffee cups are straight out of the 1960's and that makes everything better. I have never had a bad meal here, have often had to wait which is never too long and the staff are always helpful and attentive even when the restaurant is packed full of people. read more

Great food, friendly service, and reasonable prices. A little bit noisy, but still a great experience. I will definitely be back.

Very good, fast service, wait staff very friendly. I just wish they would stay open a little later

I am extremely disappointed. I've been eating at Perea's for 30+ years (Juan Tabo, central/san Mateo, central/Eubank and back to Juan Tabo) this is the 3rd time I've been disappointed. I come back because I continue to hour they get it right. I understand the busy, short staff. Or I wouldn't have waited 45 min to be seated. Today (2 adults) we ordered full huevos ranchers and tried to order the child's pancake and bacon but were told we couldn't because it was only for kids and elderly. It's not like we weren't already ordering $30 worth of food. Honestly what was another $6?? Time before we got there at 1pm. After church, they close at 230 so they were rushing us out, time before that they had run out of half the items we were ordering. I will say the 2 young girls (hostesses/bussers) blonde & brunette were on top of it, kind, courteous & respectful. They never stopped or slowed down all with a smile on their face. read more
