    Breakfast Burrito
    Megan S.

    Cute spot. Fast service. Reasonable pricing. Got.. Soy Latte - good espresso. Great flavor. A little too much foam for latte (was more like cappuccino) Breakfast burrito - had fluffy eggs, big potato chunks, cheese and little bit of green chili. (Wish there was a little more chili or option for hot sauce) Quiche - hands down one of my favorite quiches. It was sturdy and flakey. Unlike the ones that are normally soggy or cream filled. This one was great!

    So happy we were in the area so I could treat my husband and mother-in-law to one of the best hidden gems in New Mexico! Parking lot a bit full but was around noon. I remembered they have a lending library so I brought a book I finished to add to it. Greeted upon entering, found menus and didn't feel rushed to order. (Have to watch head near counter due to slope of stairs). All staff were friendly and patient w any questions. The dining room was mostly filled but found a good table for us 3. I love the mis-matched furniture and all the art. Plus all the local made items on display and for sale. Plenty of books and magazines if wanting to read while dining. Food was brought out quickly. We all enjoyed what we ordered, everything tasted fresh. I look forward to next time!

    From farm to table. Fresh food with daily specials. We got coffee, Matcha, lavender lemonade, and huckleberry ice tea. All tasted wonderful and refreshing.

    3.5 stars Came here yesterday for lunch after the main lunch rush (easy to find, plenty of parking). Food came out quickly and there's indoor and outdoor seating (outdoor is a must to watch the hummingbirds of course). I was excited to come here after having previously gone to the farm dinner at Schwebach Farms (prepared by Roots). My dad and I both got the chicken panini $11.50, which came with a pickle and a few grapes on the side. The sandwich itself had nicely chopped chicken, shredded cheese, onion, pesto, tomato, and a zesty sauce (the pesto gave me a little bit of heartburn but it is what it is). It was good and the perfect serving size, but could've used a little more flavor. We got a blueberry coconut muffin and a peanut butter muffin to go ($5+ with a slight upcharge for credit card fees). I kind of wish I had gone with the muffin and an iced pumpkin spice latte, but that'll be for next time

    Breakfast sandwich perfection!

    My aunt and uncle are locals and took me to Roots right after I arrived in Cedar Crest. It is the favorite place of everyone for miles around. The staff is friendly, vibe is chill, and the food and coffee are delicious! They are closed some days of the week so check their hours and plan to stay a while. Indoor and outdoor seating to match your mood. They have a nice little shop to pick up some farm grown gifts or treats to bring home too.

    German breakfast and fruit salad
    Ren N.

    Pretty popular spot right before getting into town, we decide to see what's so special about this place. Ordered a German breakfast and fruit salad. 1. German breakfast: pieces of ham, salami, cheese that seems like it's from one of those packages, super thin, cut into medium pieces and lay on the plate with scattered sliced blood orange? Reminds me of a kids art project. 2. Fruit salad: I thought maybe I might get some leaves with my fruits, just a small bowl, bananas, blueberry, dried cranberries and oranges. Coffee was good and they have non coffee stuff too like tea and chai. Small locally made goods section definitely be sure to check out. I don't know if I be here for the food but the coffee and goods sure!

    After several visits, I can say it has become one of my favorite places for brunch. Fresh from the oven quiche, paninis, cookies... etc....

    5 star for food and atmosphere. Sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful day and resident kitties. My group enjoyed the antipasto platter, chicken panini, soup, and a breakfast sandwich. Perfect portions for brunch. Topped it off with a chocolate chip cookie and or meal raisin. Highly recommend!

    If you're considering stopping here, do it! Such a welcoming feeling, great staff and music, and above all the food here was delicious. We had their breakfast sandwich which I really enjoyed, as well as their fancy toast with butter, cinnamon, and sugar. Both were excellent choices. Also if you're looking for a great drink, their golden milk latte was delicious, just the right amount of sweet and flavorful all around. 10/10 can't wait to be back someday!!

    What makes a good breakfast burrito? Like any self respecting New Mexican, I have spent a lifetime eating my way closer to answering this question. A good breakfast burrito is balanced and contains proportionate ratios of egg, sausage, potato, cheese and of course, green Chile. While I appreciated the freshness of the ingredients for Roots' breakfast burrito, mine contained mostly egg, with a couple of small potato chunks thrown in. The egg was nicely cooked, but really dominated the other ingredients. I wish I had asked if adding green Chile was a possibility-- not a complete dealbreaker to me, provided the ingredient ratios were more balanced. The burrito came with a side of zesty sauce. I think it's sour cream, blended with either salsa or hot sauce. Very tasty, and almost made up for the overwhelming egg. Taste is 8/10, though. Adding green Chile and more equal proportions of ingredients would take this burrito to the top. I'd eat it again! The staff are really kind and friendly. They appear to enjoy working there.

    Great servers! Everyone was helpful and kind so front of house manager must be doing their job!…read moreFood was delicious. Crispy Brussels sprouts had great flavor but way too much cayenne pepper (which adds nothing but heat) my husband ate them but said he would prefer less heat. I had 2 bites and gave up. Baked brie was amazing I loved the granny Smith apples! My husband loved them too. We also got the hummus duo which has dates on it and I used a date in the brie that was fantastic! I'll ask for that next time! It was the bomb. Hummus duo was good the watermelon radish was beautiful on the plate but gave both hummus a bitter flavor. Shrimp and grits. We live in Alabama currently and this was our least favorite dish of the day. Shrimp were cooked well and so were the grits but there was just something else it needed. Parmesan cheese and some onions maybe. Greek salad delicious. The flash fried chick peas made it. We needed more dressing and the wait staff was prompt and sweet about it. Spicy Lime Ceasar was ok till he requested more dressing then it was amazing. I was afraid of ordering it but the dressing wasn't too spicy . White sangria I had was disappointing it was more of a 1995 wine spritzer than a wine infused with citrus which is the very essence of sangria. It was ok and had I ordered a wine spritzer I would say yummo but I ordered sangria. Pork Belly flat bread was the winner of the night the tomato jam made that dish. I would love more on it next time but we will definitely be ordering that dish again! Yes we had a lot of left over food! But I love sampling a menu and this menu has a lot to offer. We will be back to try 4 or five other things. I look forward to my return.

In a rare turn of events, both kids got the same thing, the Korean chicken bites with the sauce on the side, which was a great decision bc it did have a kick to it. The chicken itself was a bit dry. Both adults also got the pork belly flatbread. I found it a bit unbalanced with too much sauce and not enough other toppings, and the base wasn't as crispy as I prefer. Speaking of crispy, we opted for the appetizer brussel sprouts, and they were a bit chewy and on the not so super crispy side. Service was fine, and glad to have a little break from heavier New Mexican cuisine on this night. Lots of variety on the cocktail and adult beverage menu too.

When we walked onto the patio and took in those sweeping views of the Sandias, I was ready to love this place. Los Poblanos has all the ingredients of a truly special dining experience: a gorgeous setting, a thoughtful farm-to-table ethos, and a menu that promises something above the ordinary. Which is exactly why the evening's annoying missteps were so disappointing. Service was well intentioned but unpolished. Our waiter seemed overwhelmed and, at times, unfamiliar with the menu -- a problem when guests are asking genuine questions about the food and wine. We ordered bread which came before our drinks were served. Wine service was inconsistent. I ordered an Albariño by the glass - 6 oz. My sister ordered the Cabernet listed on the menu as a recommended pairing for her entrée, priced at $11. After we placed our drink orders, the waiter returned to inform her that the menu price was incorrect -- the wine was actually $18. She agreed to proceed. He then asked whether she wanted "a half glass or a full glass," which is an oddly imprecise question at a restaurant whose menu specifies pours in 3, 6, and 9 oz increments. She said half glass. What arrived was 3 oz of wine in a small serving carafe, which the waiter simply poured into her glass -- no bottle presented, no taste offered. My own Albariño, by contrast, was brought to the table in the bottle with a proper taste before pouring. The disparity in service between the two of us was striking. A simple, clear statement -- "3 oz of this wine is $18, not $11; would you still like it?" -- would have resolved everything cleanly. Instead, the vague "half or full glass" framing left my sister without the information she needed to make an informed choice. For what it's worth, the wine itself was extraordinarily tannic -- borderline undrinkable -- and I would have sent it back. My nephew ordered a top shelf whiskey. The waiter told him "we don't have that". My nephew said "it's on your menu" to which the waiter responded "oh, let me check on that". There seemed to be too many instances of the waiter running back to the bar to check on stuff. Anyway, it was available. The waiter apologized. We ordered the bread which was served before our drinks arrived. Food took about an hour which is fine - I don't have an issue with that but during that time we never saw the waiter again. I ordered the soup of the day - potato and leek which was delicious. Followed by the blackberry salad, which was my main course. Both arrived simultaneously, with the salad placed in front of me and the soup set to the side as an afterthought. At a restaurant at this price point, the expectation that soup precedes salad is not an eccentricity -- it is simply correct service. When I expressed my surprise, the servers seemed genuinely puzzled, which suggests this may be a training gap rather than an isolated incident. As for the salad itself -- it was pleasant, but pleasant is not enough here. The blackberry salad was the kind of thing you might enjoy at a well-run casual chain: competently assembled, inoffensive, and forgettable. At a farm-to-table restaurant with access to exceptional local ingredients, I expect the plate to reflect that -- more intentional presentation, more layered flavors, something that is more elevated than what was presented. This one didn't. The gap between the setting and what landed on the table was wider than it should have been. My sister and nephews ordered the filet mignon and rib eye. Both arrived pre-sliced -- a presentation trend that has made its way into fine dining, though one that divides opinion. My concern, beyond personal preference, is practical: sliced meat loses heat faster, and at roughly $80 per entrée, guests should receive their steak in the condition that best showcases it. The quality was good, not exceptional. Los Poblanos is a restaurant with genuine promise and a setting that few can match. The concept is right; the execution needs work. The issues I encountered -- inconsistent wine service, course sequencing, and a discombobulated waiter-- are not kitchen problems. They are fixable. I hope the restaurant takes that seriously, because the bones here are excellent and the experience should be too.
