So good! Great service, good food!!! We all loved Gilbert and his awesome bartending ???
Food was spot on. Service was not…
Great food and great place to meet with friends ❤️
The salsa was authentic but might be spicy for some. However I and my wife found it amazing. The main course was ok. Good but not great.The server was hospitable and courteous. Its just you would have to remind for stuff, like for example gravy that was part of my order, then drink menu, then a knife and forks but it could be because it was busy.Overall it was an ok experience.
Stopped there for lunch on our way to Santa Fe. The place is very pricey and noisy. The food was alright but nothing to rave about.
I have been to this restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner on visits to Albuquerque and every time it has been good. The menu offers a wide variety of options and provides something for everyone.
It was a very pleasant visit to Cocina Azul in Old Town Albuquerque! Anastacia was a very friendly and professional waitress who came back to the table in a timely manner a number of times to check on us. The place is very clean and has a nice cozy feel to it. The food was amazing and they bring out both a red and green salsa for an appetizer and those salsas are very good but somewhat spicy, just a heads up in case that's not your thing. I had a stacked enchilada made with ribeye meat and red chile, OMG best enchilada I've ever had in my life! Overall I definitely recommend this place if you haven't tried it! I would've given 5 stars had they not forgot to bring my sopapillas out with my main course. All in all, a great experience!
We drove through Albuquerque on our road trip and were really looking for a restaurant that spoke for the town and its culture. All in all the food was good (especially weirdly the rice was super tasty) and the service was AMAZING. The guys that worked there were super attentive and had really fun personalities. The only reason I rate it down was because for the raving reviews I saw on the restaurant, I really was expecting something different I guess. Felt like average good Latin food. My husband's food however was delicious so it may have just been my entrée. Also the Verde sauce rocked! We weren't super fans of the salsa however.
Good but not great. Had high expectations based on the reviews. Started with the chips and salsa which were amazing!! I would make a meal just on those! I had the brisket enchiladas with the red sauce “because it was hotter” according to the waiter. I was disappointed as the sauce was tomato tasting with zero heat. The chip salsas (red and green) were much hotter (in a good way) and better tasting than the enchilada red sauce by ALOT!! For a place in the older side of Albuquerque, they should know how to do enchiladas with a good enchilada sauce flavor with a little heat. This IS Albuquerque, correct?! Nevertheless, I left full but disappointed. The waiter was overworked with too many tables and no time for us!On a good note, this place knows how to do some very, very good sopapillas. You may have to ask for them as they come free with your meal, but our waiter was going to skip them until we requested them. Very fluffy and golden brown, and they go EXCELLENT with the honey that is provided with them. They expand with an inside pocket that is perfect to hold some of that honey. It is worth a next time, but hopefully things get better!
I'm not sure why this restaurant is so highly rated. It was a very pricy for the average Mexican food. I ordered fish tacos for $15 and got little tortillas with four fried fish balls in each. The type of fish balls one might get in the frozen food section at Walmart. Really tacky. The service wasn't that great and there were screaming toddlers being ignored by there rude parents that no one would do anything about.
