    Outstanding! By far, the best Mexican food I've ever had! I ordered beef brisket tacos. The meat melted in my mouth! I've been here once before on a road trip across the country. I chose the route this year across country to include Albuquerque just so we could eat at Sadie's. Highly recommend this place!!!!! Amazing. You will thank me.

    Roberto's Special with all papas, Christmas, chips and salsa, and sopapilla.

    I ordered delivery from Sadie's as I was missing one of my old favorites. Still tasty food. Portions seem a tad smaller and this time I noticed I had to order chips and salsa separately, which was an additional charge. I don't know if that's just with delivery but in the past when I've ordered carry out it comes with chips and salsa. I also wasn't sure if I was gonna get a sopapilla so I ordered an order of sopapillas, which was an additional charge. I believe prior I was given one sopapilla, but again, the description didn't say whether I would get one or not. Might be helpful for them to clarify their menu a bit. Overall, it was expensive for a delivery order. I did get two meals out of it, but it was still costly. I still highly recommend this local favorite even though I will limit my ordering due to "shrinkflation" and increased costs that are affecting restaurants across the board.

    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!

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

    Enchiladas
    Christy S.

    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.

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    I was in town visiting a friend and stopped at Sadie's because it is very well reviewed and recommended for being authentic New Mexican food. It was a huge portion, I think in exchange for fresh food you get a larger quantity. It was good enough, the enchiladas were ground beef and not very noteworthy. I also got a house margarita which definitely was mixer and on the sweet side.

    We had margaritas and nachos They were delicious and you can share with many There were three of us and we had leftovers

    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!

    Food and food safety. Was served a bloody Mary with discolored and foul smelling celery, obviously spoiled and unsafe to eat.

    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.

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.

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.

    Delicious made-from-scratch casual vegan Mexican food. Yum. I'm so glad I came here amid numerous…read moregreat vegan options in Albuquerque. I was impressed with the wide array of vegan "proteins" including tofu (grilled or fried), soy curls, homemade seitan, calabacitas, and avocado. I got the enchilada plate (because I can NEVER resist enchiladas) Christmas style. It comes with 1-2 proteins and I added a third so I could try the grilled tofu, the grilled soy curls, and the seitan. It was hard to tell what was what with so many things in there - probably should have gotten an extra side of one of the proteins instead. Nevertheless everything was incredible. Great chile sauce and beans and rice. I was super disappointed that they were out of kombucha during my visit - they typically have both Stargazer and New Mexico Ferments.

Fresh ingredients packed with so much flavor! A true gem of Albuquerque.
