Place came highly recommended by several friends so I had to stop in. Got the carne asada fries and the elote fries. Both were fantastic but the elote fries were my favorite. Tons of flavor and all the fries were cooked well. I'll be returning and getting their burgers which again have been highly recommended.

Delicious tacos! Particularly the rancher, the butcher and the fighter. The green chile cheese fries are spicy, the queso they use tastes homemade (which is a great thing!) The service is friendly and quite fast. Tako Ten is a treat and hits the spot for fresh tacos.

Tako Ten presents traditional and non-traditional tacos, so I won't compare it to authentic places I've tried. I thought the cartoon portraits, decorations, and theme were so fun. This place wasn't too busy on a Sunday, it's located right on the outskirts of the city. Plenty of parking and seating available. The sauce bar had a nice variety of sauces and limes available. The Lover / Al Pastor Tako - (3.5/5) - Good, but not as memorable even with the pineapple topping. The Fighter / Tender Brisket Tako - (5/5) So tender, my favorite of all the takos I tried! The brisket pulled apart and had a nice mix of lean/fatty meat. The Fisherman / Battered Fish Tako - (3/5) The fish was pretty tender, solid fish tako. Sweet Potato Fries - (5/5) The non-bee honey was surprisingly delicious. These fries + honey + the sauce bar were a deadly combination. Solid place to dine, I really enjoyed the food and the vibe here. Only con was that this meal generated a lot of waste even though dine-in is available, no reusable plates or compostable items.

Was looking forward to trying out this place, but it was quite disappointing. I think the painting of the Disney Princesses caught our attention via Yelp and made us eager to come check out this taco spot. Ambiance is clean. Love all the decorations and paintings on the wall. Best part of the place. Service was alright. Cashier wasn't too interactive when asked questions about menu. Prices were decent, but not sure about $6 for sweet potato fries, so we didn't order that. We ordered the following tacos - al pastor, 3 fish tacos, garlic shrimp, & 2 brisket. Fish tacos 3/5 - weirdest looking fish tacos, we'd have to say. The little one kept questioning if it was fish or not. It was okay. He ate 1.5 of the fish tacos but said it was too salty for him. Garlic shrimp 2/5 - 3 shrimp pieces, small sizes. Barely a hint of garlic flavor and a lot of topping, making it very wet and washed out the garlic flavoring. Brisket 0-1/5 - EXTREMELY oily, dripping amount. It was moist at the initial bite, then there were dry parts. This was the very first taco I ate and saved a tiny bite for last and basically ruined the entire experience for me. WAYYYY too salty!!! My tongue was burning from the excessive saltiness of this one taco alone, that I took a break and moved on to the fish and shrimp tacos. Then went to eat the last bite and confirmed that same impression once again. My partner was very upset with his brisket taco, says that the guac in his taco was gross and also very very salty with dry meat. Taco was not finished and thrown away. And he ALWAYS finishes everything he orders even when not good. So this shocked me. Al Pastor 3/5. Overall good per the bf and would be the one considered to be reordered again in the future. Maybe. We did like the sauces available. The pink crema one was flavorful. Overall disappointed at these New Mexican tacos & don't think will come back.

The tacos? Absolute fire. But wait--check out that burger in the aluminum wrap in the picture. And the green chile? Spicy enough to make me question my life choices in the best way. After devouring all that goodness, we rolled over to Boxing Gear for a drink and some chill time. Definitely getting back.

This is my green chili cheese fries review for Tako Ten. I already love Tako Ten as one of my top favorite street taco eateries. Their green chili cheese fries are very good. Bountiful amount of fries, a ton of green chilies, all smothered in queso. I wish they included real cheese as I don't enjoy the canned queso as much. But, there's enough of it to coat all of the fries to the very end.

I was pretty close to the tramway location and every once in a while, I end up here for a bite. I love that the location is right next to a few other businesses so you can grab food and go enjoy a beer on the boxing bear patio or grab your bite and then hop over next-door for dessert at Paleta Bar. They have so many different menu offerings, and they definitely get creative, including with things like birria mac & cheese. I was craving some tacos so we came over and I ended up getting three different. An Al pastor, a fried chicken taco, and a shrimp taco is what I got. I honestly wasn't a huge fan of the way they do al pastor but the other options were really good especially the fried chicken. Another thing I love about this spot is that they have a ton of different salsas to choose from. You really can't go wrong and you gotta try them all. I personally love the Frida nachos for doing just this. Be sure to keep an eye out for their specials as they do daily offerings. I will most surely be back for fried chicken Sunday which is the Sunday special featuring three fried chicken tacos and a drink for under $10.

Picture yourself in a boat on a river With tangerine trees and marmalade skies Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly A girl with kaleidoscope eyes Cellophane flowers of yellow and green Towering over your head Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes And she's gone Lucy in the sky with diamonds.. After zapping down Tramway we stopped into Tako Ten for their fare.... We shared "The Fighter" a delicious Brisket Taco w. Salsa & good guaco mon and "The Rancher" a Carne Asada Taco w. Cheese, Onion & yes more of the good guac mon..:) We topped our tacos with a most excellent kaleidoscope of sauces. We washed our Grub down w. cans of Modelo Especial. We also enjoyed the Art Work on their Walls... This was a fun Late Lunch for the Old Folk..:) Newspaper taxis appear on the shore..Waiting to take you away Climb in the back with your head in the clouds..And you're gone.. Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds..:) Best, Avram Len McCartney Jr.

We went to Taco Ten last night and actually sat in the brewery and ordered our food online. From ordering to time it was done was about 5 minutes. The service and prep was incredibly fast which was impressive. My spouse ordered the plain hamburger (purest) and I ordered 3 tacos (brisket, carne asada & garlic shrimp). My wife's review of the burger was very positive. She stated it was one of the better burgers she has had in Albuquerque. For her, this is a ringing endorsement. All three of my tacos were tasted and had lots of flavor. The brisket was tender and had a slight Smokey flavor to it. The garlic shrimp was plentiful and not overcooked. The sauce on it was very good with a slight Cajun flavor. The carne asada was also tender and has a slight mild taste to some of the other asada I've had in town. Taco Ten has around 10 different salsas on tap for you pleasure. We sampled 3 of them and none are like your traditional New Mexican salsas. All had distinct flavors and heat ratings, the 3 we sampled were very tasty but honestly, I thought putting them on my tacos would have detracted from the original flavor of the taco. The key for Taco Ten was their corn tortilla. They have mastered a slightly thicker tortilla that does not fall apart. The only hit against Taco Ten was food temps to include the tortilla. Slightly warn and the tortilla was cold. Otherwise, highly recommend this new addition Albuquerque! read more

I was a little disappointed to be honest. I ordered the tacos which were decent but reading the reviews I expected more and is kind of reflected in my review. I had the carne asada and shrimp tacos. This is good for a snack/light meal. The prices I guess are typical of a commercial taco spot but like I said expected more. Flavors were decent and sauces ok. Still left hungry when I finished my tacos. Overall, I'll give this place 3.5 stars. read more

I have had multiple experiences at this location, and most all of them have been delicious! The main reason I usually indulge in these particular tacos, is when I am enjoying a night at Boxing Bear Brewery in the same shopping center. The complex makes it convenient and effortless to order some tacos while downing a cold one. You get a bang for your buck with these tacos. They are a bit pricey, but loaded with toppings! You will not regret spending $3.00+ for each taco at this spot. And not to mention the crazy supply of different salsa choices you get to choose from that really make the tacos unique! read more

My husband and I were trying for a new place to eat tonight, but the restaurant closed early tonight for its NYE. So we went to Yelp and wanted something that was close by. The reviews were great! So we tried this place. Can't say enough how great the food is, service was very fast. The Tacos of Battered Avocado , Brisket and Fried fish, are so YUMMY! The mango salsa is very tasty and so are the Tri chips and the Ox Queso. It is a bit hot, but worth it. The tacos are really stuffed and double blanket of tortillas are a nice touch so the first taco corn I believe don't fall apart. So worth the try, this will be a Go To place for us. Thankyou for opening up such a fantastic place to eat and great location. read more

We picked up takeout last week and we were a little disappointed. We thought the tacos at their location at the indoor karting were amazing. The ones from the Juan Tabo location were good. The ingredients were fresh and tasty but nothing special and the shells were greasy. I think it may have been because we didn't sit down and eat them when they were ready but instead took them home. The staff was friendly and the order prepared timely. I will go back again but eat them at the restaurant or at the Boxing Bear. You can order from Tako Ten and then eat them while you drink a beer next door. I will definitely give that a try. read more

The tacos were dry, not my favorite. The salsas were great and the service was attentive and nice. I wouldn't come here for tacos in Albuquerque when you have options like Flora. The fried avocado taco was pretty good and I'd recommend trying that if you go to Tako Ten. The fries were yummy also but again a bit dry. We ordered the fried chicken taco, shrimp, carne asada, brisket, green chile cheese fries. read more

I'm so glad Tako Ten has moved in right off of Tramway. It's been fun to snag food from there and then a drink from Boxing Bear Brewing down a shop. The nachos are delicious!! We almost ordered a full nacho to split between two people before the staff told us that would be the size of a full pizza box. A half size was more than enough for us both. (To-go nachos are served in two styrofoam to-go boxes. Great for sharing!) Four of us didn't get anywhere close to finishing the full size when we ordered it last. I've had almost all of the tacos now, and all of them are great. My go-to sauce is definitely the crema sauce. The salsas were good but didn't add too much to the tacos. I think my favorite taco is the fried avocado. I'll be back soon! read more

We loved the food at Dia de Los Takos when it was inside at the indoor kart track between Central and Copper. Everything was great; the tortillas used for the tacos were fresh and tasty, the fillings were always hot and generous, etc. At Tako Ten, based on two visits, one right after they opened and one on Oct. 23, '20, things have gone downhill. The tortillas used for the tacos are kind of a gross yellow/orange color, pretty tasteless and on both visits were cold and very greasy. Greasy tortillas? Sup with that? The fillings were still tasty but on our most recent visit were all room temperature or cooler. How difficult is it to ensure the taco fillings are hot? And ground beef tacos? I thought this is supposed to be Mexican food. My wife and I lived in Cuernavaca, Mexico, south of Mexico City for about 5 years fairly recently and never did we see any taco joint or restaurant that served any tacos made with ground beef. Tako Ten isn't Taco Cabana or a school cafeteria so I don't expect to find ersatz Mexican food there. I'd much rather see a taco such as cochinita pibil offered and not dolled up by making it sweet and/or picante as I've found locally at Zacatecas before it closed and at Flora at the Sawmill Market. Cochinita pibil isn't supposed to be sweet or picante; it's supposed to taste like achiote seeds which are tart or bitter depending on your viewpoint. There's nothing in well made cochinita pibil to make it sweet or picante. If you want it picante, that's the purpose of adding salsa habanero. And sweet? No way. The typical condiment in Mexico are pickled red onions which make it even more tart, not sweet. But keep the ground beef taco if you must. BUT YOU MUST GET RID OF THOSE TORTILLAS; they're a disaster. Go back to the tortillas that were used at Dia de las Takos. And ensure the taco fillings are HOT, not room temperature or cooler. We'll probably give Tako Ten one more try but if we find those tortillas still being used or if our taco fillings are cold again, then we're done. Tako Ten is a long way to drive from where we live in Nob Hill. read more

We had to catch an evening flight and knew our food choices would be limited at the airport so we yelped a taco place and saw the amazing reviews and decided to check it out. We were a little skeptical at first because it's located in a indoor karting park. And just to be clear, we weren't even hungry but we both ordered the pork belly, al pastor and fish tacos. All were amazing. No regrets on ordering three. The meats were well seasoned, the tortillas were warm and had the right amount of chewiness, the veggies on top were fresh. The batter on the fish... perfect. We couldn't choose one that we liked the most because all were so damn good. The homemade sauces especially the green Serrano one were delicious. It wasn't too busy when we went around 4pm on a Tuesday but by the time we left there was definitely a line forming. We had El Paiso the first day (authentic tacos) which were delicious in their own way but soooo glad we finished off the trip with these delicious fusion tacos. read more

Although the wait was a little longer than desired, it was taco Tuesday so it was understandable, but it couldn't have been more worth it.

***newest update- the battered avocado option is now vegan!! Woot woot:) thank you!!! *Update: after further investigation - the avocado burger is NOT vegan!! I spoke with 2 employees that insisted that it was. Other members in my community followed up and were advised that there is egg in the batter. So disappointed! I hope this business educates their employees ASAP because I was lied to, and now can't support them until they make the necessary changes. Please just double check instead of being dishonest! Also, why does it say 'V available' right on the menu?? The location of this place is wonderful for families with young kids. I ordered 2 vegan options: The Electric Bike tacos and the Green Acres 'burger'. The Green Acres was absolutely delicious - a saucy hot mess but I like my sauce! BBQ sauce, cilantro crema, and 'Baja slaw'. This item was a delightful surprise on a meat heavy menu. I was a little hesitant to get the vegan taco option, I've never had a sweet potato taco before... but hey, it was taco night, and do as the Burquen~os do on taco night ... don't ask questions and enjoy yourself! ... I have to be honest, the Electric Bike was a bit underwhelming- the main ingredient was quite literally just sweet potato fries. But the fresh guacamole on top was nice, but the cashew crema which I was expecting to be the star of the dish accidentally got muddled and lost in the taste of sweet potato fries. But! For a special event price of a $1.50 each, this girl will take it. What would be super rad is if they took their Vegan Green Acres burger and turned that into a taco option! The beer battered fried avocado would make an excellent pairing with the cashew crema, especially with some added hot sauce. This was a fun experience, and am glad to have supported this little local spot. read more

So came here for the first time with six friends. The location is the old boxing bear brewery where…read morewe used to go for live music. Nothing has changed really inside it's pretty much the same. That's a good thing in my view. So for ambience I give four stars. The inside is attractive with a lot of windows. Outside there's a nice patio which would be great to sit at if the wind is not too bad. For service, I give four stars. Service is on pretentious and just down to earth. I think some of the people that used to be there at boxing baee are still there. If you are a younger soul who likes to play arcade games there are several there. Again, they were there when boxing bear was there. So for me the reason I give four stars is because this is a wonderful place to just come and be with friends. There is no high pressure to purchase expensive entrees or drink excessively. That is what I love about this place. As far as the kitchen and food goes, it's pretty humble. I would call this authentic lowdown tacos and burritos and nachos which is equivalent to pub food. My disappointment with the menu is that there are no really interesting options such as enchiladas. I'm an enchilada girl I admit it.. so I did not actually get any food although all of my friends did. I also don't drink alcohol any longer so my favorite beverage which is an athletic IPA was available in a can and I was very happy for that. All in all, if you like humble easy inexpensive tacos burritos nachos pub food go for that. If you're looking for a place to hang out with some friends and have an easy conversation without too much overhead noise from music or TVs do that. This location is really good for groups who want to hang out. I would suggest to management that they consider putting some music meaning live bands on the schedule here and there. This location is also appropriate for music bingo, karaoke, and trivia along with live band performances. Or even just have solo guitar players come in. I love this place before I still love it. I'll be back.

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.

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.

Cervantes New Mexican Restaurant in Albuquerque is, without question, the best New Mexican food…read moreI've ever had -- and honestly, some of the best cuisine in the world. I ordered the Combo #2, Christmas style, and it was unreal. Tender, deeply flavorful carne adovada, a perfectly fried chile relleno, a classic cheese enchilada smothered in red and green chile, and a crunchy taco that somehow still held its own next to everything else. And just when you think it can't get better, the combo comes with four fresh sopapillas -- warm, fluffy, and the perfect finish. The red and green chile together is mandatory here -- balanced heat, smoky, earthy, and comforting without being overwhelming. This is food made with confidence and tradition, not shortcuts. The atmosphere is warm and lively, packed with locals who clearly know they're in the right place, and service held strong even with how busy it was. If you're in Albuquerque and want authentic New Mexican cuisine done at the highest level, Cervantes is non-negotiable. This is a meal you'll think about long after it's over.

The hype is real! As soon as I heard Tako Ten was open for business I made it my mission to get down to the new Bridges Business Center off of Tramway and see for myself what everyone has been raving about. . . . Yes, the line is long. Yes, they are slammed every day regardless of time. Yes, they are a new business trying to manage extreme volumes of people. And YES, I WILL BE BACK! Thank you, to the several people in line who were already repeat customers telling people (like myself) who contemplated leaving after seeing the line that, "they are worth the wait!" you guys were sooo right. Tako Ten is absolutely, WORTH THE WAIT! Do yourself a favor and get down there to experience the ambiance, the flavors, and sense of community. A small business, brave enough to open during a global pandemic, and ready to make a huge impact here in New Mexico. read more
