It is the best Carne Adovada on the planet! Period. That is the food I try in every place in New Mexico. Nobody beats Perea's , Barelas Cafe House comes somewhat close, but Perea's is the undisputed king.

The just melts under the fork...yummyyyy...

These people are not about the decor but the awesome Carne Adovada! 6 stars!

• Pros: The Food!
• Cons: The new location is far away from my store, but once or twice a month I'll go there anyways

Not quite genuine

They have a very New Mexico feel to the restaurant meaning that they are warm and it seems like a family operation. I was disappointed with the food. The red chili was made from pods and you could still taste the skin and get specks of it in your teeth. The refried beans tasted like they were smoked and should be eaten at a bbq roadhouse not with New Mexican food. The service was warm and cordial, but I will not be returning anytime soon.

• Pros: Warm Service
• Cons: Food not up to par.

A hidden gem with great New Mexican food.

Every trip to ABQ includes a breakfast or lunch (sometimes both!) at this unassuming

family restaurant. Their salsa has got a serious kick, as does the green chile. Their refrieds are quite possibly my favorite anywhere. To paraphrase another review: "I'm going to Perea's for breakfast today!"

• Pros: Great food, solid service, reasonable prices
• Cons: Not open for dinner
