TJ's is tucked away in a little area off of 314. It's a very unassuming location but definitely worth the stop. They have the best carne adovada I've had in Los Lunas! Wish they were open later in the day but it's always worth the trip. Highly recommend stopping by. read more

at TJ's New Mexican restaurant in Los Lunas I got there at 1:35 yesterday and they had already locked the door. I looked at the sign on the door, clearly said 2 pm. Looked at my cell phone yup it was 1:35. Bad business tactics. I did look online before leaving as well and they advertise closing at 2 PM. A bunch of lazy owners now running that business? read more

We love ordering lunch for our business at TJs for years now. It's close convenient and the food is great. For 2 weeks I have been trying to order food. They won't answer their phone. They turn down the ringer so low they can't hear it. I had to go get lunch and the phone is turned down so they can't be bothered with to go orders. 4 times in 2 weeks I tried. Food is great service not so good read more

Amazing. Favorite spot. Never messed my order up. Love the staff. Amazing place. Beautiful location. read more

Rude ass manager at TJ restaurant in Los Lunas. Waiting for over 30 mins asked how much longer and the services said "idk". Manager proceeded to call us impatient because our kids are hungry and we were told a 10min wait! Didn't catch her name cause she was too busy running her mouth. read more

T J's New Mexican Restaurant - Rude manager and server who doesn't know what she's doing - Tex-Mex Near Me - Los Lunas, New Mexico

The service is very very good, the hospitality is outstanding. The food would probably be really good if they served it actually hot. The last 3 times we have gone there, our food has been luke warm. This time even the coffee was barely hot. I don't believe in sending my food back to the kitchen because I don't trust angry cooks, so I eat what I'm served. But let me say that boy do we miss A.J.'s. Their food was always served piping hot, and man, was their green chile mean! read more

I've been passing by this place for years and it's always packed. It was no different this morning but I was determined to finally eat here. This restaurant is owned by the same people who own Rutilios here in Los Lunas. There are several similarities between the two restaurants. The CFS here is a little smaller but not much smaller. It is still as large as a pancake and delicious. The eggs were scrambled and fluffy. The hash browns were delicious. I also had a pancake and that was very good. Now I know why this place is always so packed when I pass by, it's almost exactly like Rutilios, which is my favorite restaurant in Los Lunas. You can't go wrong here. The service here was also excellent and friendly. I'd eat here any day of the week. Two thumbs up from me. Definitely a must visit restaurant... read more

The service was good. They were short-handed, so we didn't expect much. Poor server brought me a cup of water with a long hair in it. Ewww. So gross, but not the end of the world. The food was good. The served rolled enchiladas which I wasn't expecting for a true New Mexican restaurant. That was disappointing. I was glad there was some flavor to the green chile. I need a little kick. The ambiance doesn't really have a wow factor at all. They seated us in the back which is a room with a television and your average cheap diner tables. They don't serve chips and salsa, so maybe that's part of what brought the whole feel down a notch. I'd go back for sure, but I'll try to find another place that serves chips and salsa since that's a big deal to me. read more

Standard New Mexican restaurant with a smaller than normal menu for breakfast and lunch items. Appears they close for dinner but that confused me since they do serve some alcohol. I'm guessing the room I saw up front was the bar? When entering the parking lot from the road, don't miss the entrance. If you try to enter though the gas station, the parking lot is blocked so you will have to turn around somehow. Overall the food was good. Chips and salsa are part of lunch. They were ok. I went with the Navajo taco. Overall a standard food joint. read more

T J's New Mexican Restaurant - Huevos Rancheros Christmas style ( red and green) - Tex-Mex Near Me - Los Lunas, New Mexico

TJ is used to be our go to breakfast place in Los Lunas. It's hard to believe how different it is now. The service was very slow but the food was adequate. The biggest change from now in the former owners seems to be a lack of genuine care for the customer experience. Rudimentary items like offering refills checking to see if you need anything else we're never done. We will not be back. read more

Great food. Great service. The only green chili I found that I liked. I'm not a local and do care for green chili, but the waitress talked me into trying it. I glad I did. read more

We ate at Tj's today. I had huevos rancheros, Christmas (red/green) both chile's were HOT, but very flavorful. Eric had 2 eggs, hasbrowns, and bacon. My plate came with a tortilla (store bought) and his choice was a sopapilla. The only thing that could've made it better is Homemade Tortillas. read more

I'll be honest I was quite impressed with this place. We came like 30 minutes before closing (to be fair we didn't know it was closing time) and we didn't get seated promptly. Being hungry and ready to eat the first meal of the day, we sat ourselves at an empty table since it seemed like a good thing to do since they had seen us and hadn't seated us yet. I sat down and waited for a bit and the lady who bussed the tables informed me they would be closing soon. I said okay that's fine. Since we had to get back to town, we planned on eat quickly and not linger. We promptly placed our order and got our food rather quickly. I will say the restaurant has two great things, the food was pretty delicious and our waitress was very polite and kept our beverages filled.. My family was rather impressed with the burrito and Navajo taco, and they were super impressed with the chile. My tacos were pretty tasty, and overall I was super impressed! I would gladly eat at this place again! However, next time I will get there a lot earlier in the day. I understand that people want to get home, but be flexible with customers. read more

I am taking the most recent comments to task and will NOT be supporting TJ's any more. It was an EXCEPTIONAL restaurant with EXCELLENT food and service before the new owners took over. I will not throw money to bad, especially considering the poor food quality, the nasty attitudes, and the discrepant prices passed on to people. read more

Highly recommend!!!! Great food! Exceptional, delicious food! Fabulous service! Excellent comfortable outdoor patio seating. COMPLETELY Covid-19 compliant! Owners are friendly and very personable! Went there for the first time today because of great reviews here on YELP. Celebrating a birthday! We were not disappointed. Seated and our orders taken in a timely manner. Our food was fabulous, warm and what we ordered. Went with red chili due to reviews I read, but ended up trying the green and LOVED it more! If you're looking for good New Mexican food in Los Lunas or up for a short drive from ABQ ....DO IT!!!! read more

TJs food use to be so good and enjoyable..Now it has new owners.. So sad..Their food is far from delicious.. The pancakes were cold and rubbery, the oatmeal didn't taste right, the red chils pork was dry, we ordered eggs over medium, they were cooked over hard. One female older lady, (wait staff) was very very rude, she told me she didn't care what I thought, people can cone and eat what they want, she didn't care..and had no concern how we felt about our breakfast. The original Tjs was always full of customers, When we drove up we weren't sure if they were open for business. We were charged over 74.00 for simple breakfast for 4. Good luck if you take a chance at that place.. So sad to experience bad food their. One thing I can honestly say is the 1 male server that works there was very nice and understanding. read more

This was one of our favorite restaurants but after they changed owners the food wasn't as good the restaurant was dirty and their prices had really gone up! I was very disappointed. There were Chile sacks and Chile seeds all over as you entered the Resturant. It looked tacky! I will never go back! read more

Really good food. Salsa is awesome. I read some bad reviews but I hear the original owner is working with the owner of Rutilio's in Los Lunas to bring it back to its former goodness. Mission accomplished! If you've had bad experience here during Covid give this place another shot. Super friendly staff and Joey the new owner even came out and checked on us. read more

12/16/2020 - Ralph and Janette Rmirez Best and frendliest New Mexican Restaurant we've ever eaten at. It's comfortable homey, good people, great atmosphere. Plus the food is great! We miss going there very much! We're from Albuquerque and found a gem of a restaurant! It's just been hard to get there lately. My Sister Maxine introduced us to TJ's and she left us this summer for her heavenly home, we miss her so much! Come on give these great owners some help, we can't let TJ's close! On 12/16/20 from 9Am to 2:30 Pm, take out, you pick up. We promise you won't regret it! read more

Mmmm...sooo good! My husband's family is all from NM - particularly, Los Lunas - and now every time we come to visit we have to make a trip here. Simple, casual restaurant with real NM red chili that is amazing! And you have to order extra sopapillas to eat with the honey! read more

T J's New Mexican Restaurant - Bowl of beans with red chili, and a sopapilla! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Los Lunas, New Mexico

Great place to have a family meal! It was so "homestyle" which is exactly what I miss! We were quickly seated by a young woman, which is the norm for these small town family owned places. As I grazed through the restaurant, I noticed the abundance of cowboy hats! I say to myself "I'm home"! No need to click your heels here, if New Mexican food is what you want, send your taste buds no further. I ordered the bean tostada plate, enchiladas and a beef taco. Everything was fab! The sopapillas...amazing! I think they use yeast? Which in my humble opinion gives them a good taste. If homestyle is what you crave, put down that corporate kool-aid and grab a sopapilla! Try it, Love it, Yelp it... read more

This is a hard one to give a good review on. To start the first younger girl that took our drink order just seemed not to care to much. Our drinks were wrong. However the waiter was super polite and corrected the issue. Now on to the food it was good and average. I had chicken fried steak and eggs. The steak was nice and crunchy, although the gravy was from a package. I'm thinking this place is far better suited for lunch. So if we are in the area again will give it another go. read more

Easily my favorite restaurant in Los lunas. I recommend the green chile chicken enchiladas. Their chile has great flavor with mild heat. I would say the prices are excellent for lunch and the portion is great! I travel to Los lunas multiple times per week for work and I almost always find myself ordering TJ's. The staff is also super nice, it's a family owned local spot which makes it even better. read more

Delicious food I love eat-in at TJ'sthey have an amazing classic selection of New Mexicans food. Weather its eating with my family or taking a friend out for breakfast, they never disappoint and if you haven't already tried TJ's missin out! read more

The best priced New Mexican food in Los Lunas. The plates come with 3 sopapillas too! The only problem I've found is the chips are a little stale sometimes but other than that the food is great. The stuffed sopapilla with chicharrones is my favorite! The chilie is medium heat although it might be a little hot if you're not quite used to eating chile. It's become our go to lunch spot at work. read more

Breakfast is served all day here, and they have your typical New Mexican fare. Tacos for breakfast? You can get those too. The entire menu seems to be available all day long. I had a breakfast burrito with bacon, smothered in red. The chile was flavorful and spicy, but not too hot. The bacon inside was crispy and tasty (this is inportant, no one likes floppy bacon in their burrito). Service was really quick, especially considering how busy they were. This place is sort of hidden, but worth stopping by if you're in the Los Lunas area and looking for something tasty. It's clean, and service is fast and friendly. read more

*AVOID THIS PLACE* We had a TERRIBLE experience!!! This place had a new ownership change recently. New owner, Maria, was very rude and very impatient with us. We had a question about our bill, and she straight up refused to help us. Our bill was higher than expected, we had ordered an a-la-carte stuffed sopapilla, but we were charged more than the plate itself. When we asked Maria why this was, she said "a-la-carte is sometimes more expensive, that's the way some people like it I guess." We asked if we could see our itemized bill, but she refused, waved her hands in our faces and shooed us away saying, "I'm too busy for this right now." Unfortunately, we had already paid, and so she had no more use for us and completely ignored us. MARIA is RUDE, IMPATIENT, DISRESPECTFUL, and DISHONEST. We will NEVER GO BACK TO TJ's. I would NOT RECOMMEND this place at all, take your money elsewhere. *Version Español* ¡Tuvimos una experiencia TERRIBLE! Este lugar tuvo un nuevo cambio de propietario recientemente. La nueva dueña, María, fue muy grosera y muy impaciente con nosotros. Teníamos una pregunta sobre nuestra cuenta y ella directamente se negó a ayudarnos. Nuestra cuenta era más alta de lo esperado, habíamos pedido una sopapilla rellena a la carta, pero nos cobraron más que el plato entero. Cuando le preguntamos a María por qué era esto, dijo que "a la carta a veces es más caro, así es como a algunas personas les gusta, supongo". Le preguntamos si podíamos ver nuestra cuenta detallada, pero ella se negó, agitó sus manos en nuestras caras y nos ahuyentó diciendo: "Estoy demasiado ocupada para esto en este momento". Desafortunadamente, ya habíamos pagado, y ella ya no tenia uso con nosotros y nos ignoró por completo. MARIA es GROSERA, IMPACIENTE, IRRESPETUOSA, y DESHONESTA. NUNCA VOLVEREMOS A TJ's. NO RECOMIENDO este lugar para nada, mejor ir a comer en otro lugar. read more

Favorite place to eat NM food love the red chili!!! Good prices and great food- really missed them during covid-19 shutdown of restaurants

Poor poor service manager I'm guessing was yelling at the waitresses/waiters walking while she was around like a maniac. I was embarrassed for them. It took so long to get our food and was OVER CHARGED!! Menus we were given are not the same prices they charged us for we spent $121 for 7 people definitely was not worth that amount. Poor poor service food was ok. read more

We will NEVER go back to TJ's again. Maria, the new owner was extremely rude and disrespectful. I've never experienced such bad customer service! I do not and would never recommend this place! read more

Horrible customer service at TJ's since Maria is the new owner. The food is barely what you would consider edible and lacks in flavor of authentic Chile in there food. Prices are much higher and smaller positions. I've had over heard the owner arguing of salsa and chips with a customer that was told by the original waitress who took the order they were free with their order. Maria definitely lacks customer service skills when issues arise with her customers due to her workers making mistakes and acting like the customer is the problem. I really miss the original owner's food and service was better! I will never go back to the restaurant and I don't recommend it to others!! Very rude owner and workers.

Casual atmosphere with New Mexico/American food. Has always been good when we have eaten there.
