a diner from Albuqerque
We ate there this evening and the waiter was good, the food arrived in a timely fashion. We thought the red salsa was on the bitter side but everyone liked the guacamole salsa. I ordered the goat tacos and boy, did they forget to add the flavor! The meat was tender but flavorless and the garnishes were lost on the plate. Big chunks of iceberg lettuce were mixed with minced onion & a pile of cilantro, whilst the tomatoes were all but mashed into the flavorless refried beans. The children were happy with their corndog, bean & cheese burrito & chicken tacos but my husband's chicken mole was also bitter and lackluster. Overall, we were diasappointed and won't eat there again. Too many better restaurants to choose from.

Unusual dining experience in this out of the way spot. If you are a brave diner, you will be rewarded with interesting seafood dishes as well as traditional favorites. Try the different green salsa. Great fajitas too.

There are alot of Mexican places in ABQ but Papa Felipe's has good food and most excellent MARGARITAS. The lunch menu and happy hour specials make this place a go to for good food at a good price. Worth checking out.
