    Like the food here. Nothing fancy about this place just damn good food. You can order at the counter or site at a table. Prices are reasonable and food is prepared hot. My workers like to come here today brought my daughters

    My first visit to this establishment was December 3, 2025. There is plenty of good parking. Outside signage is excellent. Staff is friendly and I was seated immediately. It appeared to me that there are many return customers, and I think loyalty is a good sign in a place like this Decor is relaxed and casual. They offer Classic Mexican cuisine. I'm not sure I can tell the difference between Mexican and New Mexican. Their menu has an incredible number of choices. I went with pork tamales that included a side of rice and refried beans. Prices are excellent. Food came out fast. I love tamales. I never try to make them at home, so I tend to order them at any restaurant I go to. These were as good as I've ever had. Nice wrapping nice filling very tender meat.

    Still fast and delicious! I still recommend this spot for authentic Mexican food. The service is great at this pick up spot.

    Breakfast Burrito

    I thought I was the only one to discover this quaint eatery but once I walked inside, most of the tables were taken! I had a craving for something special and I got it! I ordered the breakfast burrito and requested an addition of lettuce and tomato! It was so tasty that I went back a few weeks later to satisfy my craving for posole. I was not disappointed. The wait staff was always great! Those women work hard and know their clientele well.

    Taqueria Mexico has always been a solid spot and I've enjoyed a lot of their food over the years. Back in the day, I used to work down the street from their previous location and so I was there for lunch pretty often. They always had good flavor and were very affordable. On my most recent visit, I got a few burritos, and boy were they greasy. Still edible but really way too much on the grease. They were also super messy and just kind of fell apart. Fries and flan were great. I also found that their prices have gone up quite a bit and it was pretty shocking to me that the tip option (on a pickup order) went up to 50%! I went to tip a standard 20% but the options ranges from 18%-25%-35%-50%. I know the employees likely don't set those ranges themselves but that's a really abnormal range and if you aren't paying attention...

    Delicious food with friendly service. We enjoyed the breakfast burritos at dinner time.

    Authentic and great to sit inside or out. Service is excellent. But most importantly the food will bring you to your knees. There's not much better for my taco obsession.

    Oh my God, thank you yelp! All I can say is eat here! Eat here! Eat here! Eat here! I'm only spending the night in Albuquerque and I'm coming back tomorrow for breakfast burrito. I can't imagine ever coming through Albuquerque again and not eating here. Please note that if you try to get directions from this website, it will take you to the correct parking lot, but I'm the way wrong side. This is on the north side of the building.

    Do they have crispy. Chicken tacos?

    Hi! Are the fish tacos fried or grilled fish?

    Grilled

    Do they have soft tacos and is the chicken taco grilled chicken pieces or the shredded kind?

    the tacos are soft and the grilled chicken is then shredded :) you can also ask them to prepare the chicken a certain way, they are pretty obliging there

    Yes, I get the hype, and in my opinion, totally worth it!…read more I came here on a Sunday night and they were very busy. The place is huge so they have plenty of tables available. I stood on line to order for maybe 10 minutes or so. I had the Carne Adovada Burrito, one soft Beef Taco, and rice and beans. Everything was excellent and tasted delicious. The price was very reasonable. I wish we had a restaurant like this on Long Island.

    It seems like this place has been around forever. I remember passing by this restaurant as a kid…read moreand seeing the wagon wheel chandeliers from the road. 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,!

Ordered cold beer and cocktails after we were seated inside Lotsa flies.....we get it....pretty much an open-air restaurant this time of year They did set a spinner on our table which helped. Was decently cool inside too I have been wanting to try their Kizer beef and pork offerings so i threw down on a cheeseburger (hard to not order New Mexican food here) But that burger was perfect! Delicious I recommend and was plenty big Of course i dropped a big spoonful of green chile on it And the green chile strip appetizer was outstanding Summer at El Pinto. Enjoy!

I had the house special chili ribs and the ribs aren't flavorful. There is no distinctive taste to these ribs but chilied. But since the chili is tasteless themselves, it doesn't contribute to the overall flavor of the ribs anyway. 2/5 Stuff sopadillas with beef is very large and filling. For the lunch menu, the price is rather affordable for how much food I ordered. The tastes? I can't tell because it is comparable to any other restaurants. Nothing really stands out to me. 4/5 The regular sopadilla with honey as a side dish is amazing and you can't really go wrong with sopadilla and honey 5/5. Chips and salsa is continuously refilled as requested. Overall service is average, with water refill being done per request, not automatically. I personally would take tourists here to experience the cute vibe of New Mexico that this restaurant gives: a cute brunch with the ladies, a nice hang out and gathering with friends.
