    My mother and i have been sneaking over to this place for a few years now. We go early, when everyone else is asleep. When we first moved to Albuquerque, my mother would come to this location to buy salsa. It was called something else then, Mi Casita? In any case, great salsa, ok food. That place closed down and this new place opened in its place. There is nothing particularly remarkable about the exterior. The interior has some cool paintings with 3D touches and some blown up pictures of the food. The decor is just a mess. Tables and chairs are banquet ready. Just the bare minimum for what you need to eat. The food, however, is what brings us in. I can only speak to breakfast. But, what a breakfast they present! I'm a fan of a place that does chilaquiles right. I've had the green and the red. I prefer the green, but the read ain't half bad. The plate comes with either eggs or chicken/carne asada for an upcharge. I opt for the eggs. You can get beans and rice, but I eschew the rice for the beans, of course. The eggs are always cooked the way I like. The chilaquiles are made from the same tortilla chips that are brought to your table. Those chips are amazing. Super light and have a deep crunch that is super satisfying. If I have enough sauce leftover, I might add a few more chips to extend my chilaquiles. The basket of chips comes with two squeeze bottles of salsa, a red and a green. The green is typically milder and the red is always spicy. I like to squeeze a bit of lemon on the chip and then dot a little salsa on top of that. So damn good! There is one thing on the menu that I have been dying to try. It is the molcajete. It costs $18. I don't even know what comes in it, but the picture on the wall makes it look delicious. Bacon is thick and perfectly cooked here. Corn tortillas made by hand are always a joy. The menu has all kinds of funny misspellings. Give them a try!

    Best authentic Mexican food in the entire southwest. I'm from Mexico City and I can only stand so much New Mexican food. This place is a little slice of heaven in abq. Try the chilaquiles with steak or the pork ribs with Red chile or their best: the barbacoa you can't go wrong unless you're expecting New Mexican food.

    This place has been around a number of years, but like a lot of small spots in Albuquerque, it hadn't made its way on to Yelp yet. I spoke with the owner, who's from Michoacán, Mexico, and he said he's terrible with technology, so that explains things a bit. It's unfortunate though, because as I explained to him, being on here will be favorable to his business. I do believe a few good reviews on Yelp can really get things going for a business and so I'm going to set out to do that with this review. For starters, I recommend going for breakfast. When you do go, heed my advice and get the chilaquiles de pollo with green chile. For the uninitiated, chilaquiles are simply tortilla chips soaked in chile to the point that they lose some of their crispness and then topped with the meat of your choice, raw onions, cotija cheese and sour cream. As a chile-loving New Mexican, this dish seems made especially for me because it's so dependent on the smothering of chile to derive its taste. A tasty order runs about $7 or $8 and will likely leave some remaining for later consumption. My mom comes here a lot, and her thing are the huevos rancheros. Everyone knows this dish and there's really nothing especially different about how the dish is made here, but it is always good and costs less than $5. I'd also recommend the enchiladas here, which are made Mexican-style, meaning no cheddar cheese and a different consistency of chile (here it's thinner), and are really a lighter alternative to the monstrous servings New Mexican restaurants will serve. Which is not to say you will leave hungry---you'll eat well--- but you won't feel stuffed and gross like some of these lard-heavy Mexican spots. Today, I went with my wife and I had been craving barbacoa, the roasted lamb that can be mind-blowing when made well. Here, sadly, it was only good, which was only a bummer because of my high expectations and the months I'd been craving it. Yet and still, my serving was plentiful and the rice and refried beans that accompanied were excellent. Also, I liked the homemade corn tortillas that were just massive and the fresh cilantro, raw onions and lemon that I received to make my own tacos. It was a massive amount of food and I failed to finish (beginning harakiri now). My wife had the jamon y queso torta and enjoyed it despite only eating half. She remarked how good the bread was here as opposed to some spots she'd had the same sandwich in NYC. The price was right at $4.50, so that made me happy when the bill came. For those new to authentic Mexican restaurants, it is truly essential that you try an agua fresca. Today they had melon (canteloupe) and sandia (watermelon) and we went with the former. It was sweet and refreshing and helped wash the food down. I'll continue to endorse this place because the owner is likeable, gregarious and loves to wax philosophical on the way we are all under the control of our governments and corporate entities and because the food, especially the chilaquiles, are good if not great.

    This place has got to be one of the best finds - a great place, wonderful family style service, excellent food, and cheap! Quintessential dive. We weren't sure if the razor wire around the parking lot was to keep the neighbors out or the customers in, so we started with a little trepidation. The place is actually pretty charming inside, like your slightly crazy aunt's house, if she can make awesome molcajetes. But once we were seated and asked if they had chicken tamales, the proprietor made us feel at home and important. The kids thought the chicken tamales were tasty, the Mexican soda sweet and different, and Mom & Dad enjoyed the lamb molcajete. Perfect meal. We don't visit ABQ often, but we're definitely coming back next time we are there.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
