I stopped by Ben Michaels in the late afternoon and had the place to myself. our party had the rare privelege to order a la carte from Ben himself. Sitting outside under the warm new mexican sun I ate the most authentic NM cuisine I have ever encountered. perfect proportions, nice presentation,Just ...
We stopped here in an RV on our way to Memphis with two college age kids, my husband and I and our 7 yr old. Ambience was great. Food was fabulous and the staff (Ben and a lovely older woman) were fantastic.
My husband and I are huge fans of New Mexican cuisine. This was grest for everyone. Will g...
We are fairly new locals and one of our first priorities when we moved here was to try all the NM cuisine in ABQ, we have accomplished that mission. We prefer the small independently owned businesses and we must say, Ben Michael's is on top. Everything on the menu has a distinct flavor that is not d...
First time here. It was excellent! chef came out to meet us, had an acoustic band playing some soft music. Very quaint, cozy atmosphere! service, Mimosas and food all excellent. Only downside, is they don't accept debit/credit cards. Just cash or checks!
Delicious, fresh food. Lovely new building; always great service. Some of the best red chile ever. Delicious steak fingers. Huge portions. Over all - great New Mexican food. A favorite place of our's for breakfast or lunch!
we used to live in alb,now in san diego calif. and there is no better breakfast burritos in town. also the the mex.food is our no. 1. this is from 1973 to now we also volunteer at the balloon fiest. then we go here for dinner.
This is one of the best NM restaurants in NM. The food is the closest to homeade cooking you will come to. My only complaint is that their taco beef is runny and at times their Carne is too watery as well, but the Carne tastes real good. Most of their ingredients are fresh and you taste it. It is ou...
Garduno's is the best mexican food in Albuquerque. If you want good food with fast service then this is the place. It is kid frendly and adult friendly at the same time.
a great night of wine and dining
Great New Mexican food. I suggest the Chilequile or the Camarones Victor (Shrimp Victor).
Best Mexican Food Around!
Went to Taco Sal tonight and it was great. I had not been there in a few years, it was nice to know that it was still open and still packed with people. Everyone must love that super hot green chile. There is nothing like it in New Mexico. You can't beat the prices for the large plates you get a...
Somewhat long waits here but the service and atmosphere are excellent. I had been here as a kid, long ago and recently re-visited. They have, by far, the hottest salsa I have ever tasted! Eating outside on the patio by the small pond was also very interesting and added a great deal to the experie...
Great food. Try their green chile cheeseburger. Only downside is that they're closed on the weekends.
this place has turned into a great place
We were visiting from Louisiana. Best food, staff, & sunset! We went 3 times. Best coconut margarita EVER. Will go there again, it is well worth the drive. Looking forward to our next trip to ABQ and Sandiago's.
Charming little renovated house turned restaurant in downtown Albuquerque. It is a cozy and clean family style Mexican restaurant with made to order sopapillas and homemade flour tortillas. Being from the east coast I have never heard of or seen anyone making the tortillas from scratch. But my brea...
The service is great and the food is just as good. The carne Adovada Enchiladas are a must have.
EXCELLENT seafood Mexican restaurant! The grilled whole fish is wonderful...not greasy and meaty. My husband enjoyed shrimp stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon...delicious! The complimentary trio of dips w/chips was a pleasant surprise. Friendly staff and lots of food...good rice too. We've bee...
