Very new restaurant. Moved into one of the closed Garduno's after they filed bankruptcy.

I love NM Mexican food. Everything should be as it was at El Patron. The chips & salsa, the enchiladas, sopapillas, and Iced-tea (with lemon). Wonderful, fast and efficient service. I like the decor. It is very conducive for a 2 hour lunch with a dear friend.

This is usually a gathering hole for friends and family for me. Last night it was my husbands birthday and he wanted to go there. Evening started off well, despite how busy we got seated fast. After that the service was horrible, our kind waitress was overloaded but didnât show it.Our food took 4ever, and drinks were great as their margaritas are, when we got them. Food was great as remembered, the worst Sopas ever. Not brown, still white and one was flat didnât puff at all. Shame on the cooks for letting the Sopas go out looking like that.Considering all the apologies, I expected some kind of compensation. Their chips taste store bought I donât eat them anymore there. Going on a Saturday night around 630 is not a good idea. Not sure if I ever want to go back there, there are better options in town that the staff take care of you. Dear Lybraq,We appreciate that Papa Felipe's is a favorite watering hole and we're honored that you choose us for the birthday celebration. We're sorry that we let you down on your last visit. You are correct, there is no way the sopas should have come out of the kitchen they way you described them. Despite our best efforts, sometimes we fall short. Please know, if a matter is brought to our attention, we will solve it on the spot. If the server can't take care of the issue, just ask for a manger. We value your business (because, you are right, there are a lot of great food choices in Albuquerque). We also appreciate your review. It helps us know where we can improve. (We've already addressed the sopa issue with the cook on duty). Thanks for your patience. We do look forward to seeing you again.

Just got home from having dinner at La Salita tonight. It was my wife, her Service Dog and I. I had the shredded beef burrito with refried beans, pappas and covered in green chile. My wife had 2 turkey enchiladas with refried beans, pappas and covered in green chile. We also got chips and salsa and sopas. The food was delicious, generous portions and the staff was wonderful. Now that we are home we are all sitting on the couch absolutely stuffed. Great Dinner!!!

Not 1-in-a-100 Mexican restaurants prepares homemade, fresh chips ... Cranes does, & they are simply outstanding. Freshly hand-made tortillas, fried, then seasoned - served-up hot ... not some kinda Doritoâs or Tostitoâs from a bag right outta the Walmart or 7/11 kitchens. So, what else is different at Cranes than the 1000âs of other Mexican eateries???1.) truly wonderful chimichangaâs - order them smothered w/red-Chili sauce ... unless you are a fellow gringo like me, then order the sauce on the side unless you want to chance having your britches-lit-up, as Cranes chili sauces are NOT for the timid; 2.) fine, delicate sopapillas - w/honey naturally; 3.) dessert âflanâ - really nicely done w/an unusual, but amazing fruit based sauce. Really tasty. Note: their chili-rellanos are NOT made with traditional mild pablano peppers - donât know what they use, but they are volcanic. You done been warned. Net/net: really good food; large portions = great value; VERY reasonable prices; served-up by genuinely nice people ... so, whatâs not to love about all this???

2. Grill At Cedar Crest Shell
Reviewed By bob w
I'm traveling on Route 66 by bicycle so driving long distances to find breakfast is not an option. I stayed the night at a local campground and stopped here for breakfast. The breakfast burrito was excellent. And the coffee was hot and very flavorful. I highly recommend this out of the way place.
1. Acapulco Taco
Acapulco Taco and Burritos has been a part of the New Mexico landscape for 45 years. We elevate traditional Mexican dishes like the taco and the burrito to something more. We serve Mexican entrees at excellent prices. Want to throw a Mexican diner party?

Very nice restaurant, new place to have a meal in the East Mountains. The rice & bean portions seemed small, yet the tortillas were huge! Wish them all success..
