“ Love this place! Located in the historic Hotel Albuquerque which has a cute gift shop inside, too. My favorite meal is the chicken fettuccine with green chili’s. I add shrimp and it comes with 2 sopapillas. They melt in your mouth. The salsa served with the free chips is way too spicy. The cheese dip is yummy and so is the guacamole. This restaurant has a great old-town feel and last time I was there they had a musician playing his acoustic guitar singing Spanish songs. ”
“ Great to come back on a visit. Food was delicious. Serving sizes are large. Service was great. Desiree was our server. We ordered the Chicken Burrito, the Enchiladas de Colores, and the Rolled Tacos. We definitely recommend these three dishes. We will be back. ”
