    Location

    Large portions, delicious food, friendly service. You'll find none better in this area. Classic New Mexico ambience, truly wonderful restaurant.

    Went for lunch with a group, we wanted to sit outside - it was not busy and they had no problem sitting us there, which also led to more customers wanting to sit and enjoy the weather! Service was good the whole time, a couple mishaps in some orders but nothing that was not corrected right away! The food was good, we all enjoyed our meals and drinks! The sopapillas are dangerous!!! Like I could eat an entire basket to myself...if you don't put the honey on them you are doing it wrong!! Also cool to see they are adding a location inside the airport! Love to see when airports are willing to support local restaurants and shops!

    We were looking for some good New Mexican food while staying in Albuquerque, and we found it at Sadie's. Excellent chips and guacamole, chile relleno, and enchiladas. We were very satisfied with our entrees. The restaurant is very large and can easily accommodate groups. It was very busy, and we had a short wait to be seated. Our server was attentive and took care of us well.

    Spectacular Roberto's Special. Rolled enchies and sopa burger was excellent to match stellar service!

    Sopapillas

    Our uber driver recommended Sadie's and I'm so glad they did! The cheese enchiladas were tasty, the side of beans and potatoes were a great addition. The chili con queso was melty cheesey yumminess. The chips were fresh, the sopapillas were warm doughy and so good. The salsa was fresh and had a bit of a kick. The margaritas were pretty average but I'd come back for the food and great service.

    There is a reason that Sadie's is a must visit if you're in Albuquerque! We went about 5:30pm on a Tuesday and were seated immediately at a table in the bar area. Service was great! Our server was friendly and efficient. Food was good and the portions are large. A great experience and would definitely go back.

    I enjoy Sadie's a lot. I have been dining here for many years. My favorite meal is the Robeto special with red chili. Their salsa is my favorite in the city The service has always been excellent.

    Sadie's is truly an excellent choice for Mexican food! The service is great, and the restaurant is very clean. The food itself is outstanding--you get large portions that are bursting with excellent flavors. If you're looking for quality, cleanliness, and a satisfying meal, this is the place to go! Don't sleep on the green salsa!

    This place was recommended to us by a local foodie in New Mexico. It's an old establishment Their food is decent. The wait time from ordering until the food comes out could be improved, but it's not too bad considering how crowded they are. The only 5/5 dish is the chips and salsa, which ironically is complimentary.

    Soybean oil
    Michael L.

    They put soybean oil in their salsa. Freaking wack for a New Mexican restaurant. Like why would you do that? Pace Picante doesn't even do that!! Never purchasing this salsa again!!!

    Ask the Community - Sadie's

    Why doesn't Sadie's serve Spanish rice? Do they not know how to make? Papas are best for breakfast, rice with dinner or lunch.

    Incas and Aztecs didnt grow rice

    Do they have fry bread tacos (or Indian fry bread tacos or Navajo fry bread tacos)? I grew up having them called Indian fry bread, but I don't think it's culturally sensitive to use those names anymore.

    No they do not have frybread tacos. I'm guessing you are referring to Navajo tacos.

I ordered the cinnamon roll, frozen horchata, green chile stew (comes with a warm tortilla), and adovada taco. The total comes out to less than $20! In this economy?! That's amazing. The most expensive item of my item was the iced horchata, which was good. The food still takes the spotlight though. The cinnamon roll could use a TINY bit more cinnamon and brown sugar, but is still pretty good. I'd definitely come back here.

Directly across the street from University of New Mexico's main entrance, this place is packed when school is in session. This place is huge, but not at first glance. Walk into the retro-looking, Western themed dining room, and you'll see a huge menu board above the order counter. There is are several freestyle soda machines in the middle of the room. There are little digital screens in the corner where you watch for your order number and a counter in the corner where you go pick up your food. It's not until you go into the next room that you discover there is another "next room," and then another. There is a lot of art on the walls, including several John Wayne pictures. The girl at the counter who took our order was an absolute ray of sunshine--so friendly and sweet. We ordered the green chili cheeseburger with onion rings and the daily special which is the "green pile-up" (beans, hash browns, scrambled egg, and green chili beef). The good came our talented quickly, and was quite yummy. Frontier is an Albuquerque classic. If it old? Yes, but it has a huge faithful following, not including the things of UNM students that pack this giant diner during the school year. It may not be a "must try" for some, but if you want Albuquerque nostalgia, this is your place. Btw--it's pretty darn cheap,!

My parents lived in ABQ for years and always thought that the atmosphere was great, but the food was so-so. However, on this instance, we all thought the food was quite good. Flavorful carne adovada, although it was a bit tough. Red chile sauce was spicy but had great flavor. The green chile sauce was hot and tasty. Posole was also good. The gold margaritas were also good - to anyone complaining about the price - at $14.50, the price is very fair considering the cost of ingredients. If you want a cheap junk margarita that is more sugar than anything else, go somewhere else! Our gripe... The place is huge and has an abundance of great places to seat guests. We had a pretty large group - 7 people celebrating a family reunion of sorts. However, they sat us right next to the bussing station that had noisy carts, dishwashers, and other distractions. It was so loud, it was hard to hear the person across the table. There were at least 10 other tables that they could have seated us at! It seems to me that this area should be used only when the restaurant is completely full. This seems to be a poor management decision rather than the fault of the servers or hosts.
