My wife and I recently went to Cocina Azul for a weekend dinner and had a great experience. Even…read morethough we came without a reservation and the restaurant was busy, we were able to get a table in under 10 minutes. 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. I highly recommend going to Cocina Azul if you are in Albuquerque!

But, this place is a staple of ALBQ. Burgers, Mexican food combo platters, sandwiches and big, fat cinnamon rolls. I ordered a combo dish consisting of enchiladas, taco, beans and rice. Overall: Everything was good. The people-watching was top notch. The atmosphere was Albuquerque. Frontier was decent. Not amongst my top choices to revisit if ever back in town.

My husband and I went on a Saturday night and did not have to wait long to be seated. The service…read morewas good but slow and they seemed to forget us at times. Henrique is sweet and came around to all the tables to check on everyone. The food was good. My husband had the taco appetizer which consisted of 4 mini tacos which were all delicious. I had the mole which was good, however after being spoiled by a particular Santa Fe restaurant and their mole, I have high standards for mole. My other issue was I asked for a tortilla which didn't come until we were ready to go. I thought I was getting the soft ones my hubby had but instead got the blue corn ones which were very hard and not made to eat with mole. The veggies and rice were yummy. I have been with some girlfriends for lunch another time and my food was better at that visit. We will go back and try other items. The place was packed and had a beautiful mural on the far wall.

We had the guacamole and salsa, I recommend mixing them together, they pair surprisingly well. A little pricey at $9.60 for the plate. For entrees, we had the green chile chicken enchiladas and carne adovada Christmas style. The latter is one of the most distinct and delicious regional dishes I've had. All entrees had really nice pairings with pinto beans, potato hash, and freshly cooked sopapillas. We chose to have the sopapillas with honey as a dessert, but there's the option to stuff them with the entree.

So glad we did, it was a great experience for a large group. There were 8 of us and no complaints, that is always a win! The food is delicious, definitely very New Mexican though, so make sure that is what you are wanting. There was a long wait time for a table, which is typical for a Friday night most places. The food came out fast and are good portions. Service was amazing: quick, correct, were on top of drink refills, to go boxes and bags, and great teamwork and energy from staff.

When they ask if you want green or red sauce on your enchiladas, don't fall for the green sauce is milder. Ask for the sauce on the side.
