Best Huevos anywhere

by Gruberman

Do yourself a favor and order the Huevos Rancheros Deluxe. Make sure to sub the home fries for the hash browns, you won't be disappointed. Their green chile has amazing flavor, and isn't all starch.

• Pros: Food is awesome.
• Cons: Crowded especially fri/sat mornings.

Best New Mexican Restaraunt in Albuquerque

by carlotita

Barelas is definitely the best "New Mexican" restaraunt in Albuquerque. It's like eating at Grandma's. From breakfast to dinner-it's all fantastic. Red or green...both excellent. No sopapillas, but the tortillas are fantastic. Chicharones wrapped in a tortilla - to die for! The drive down into the old Barelas neighborhood is worth it. You will have to circle the block a few times to find parking, stand in line for a few minutes and pray that you find a table. The good service/servers quarantee you will get back to the office on time. I highly recommend this restaraunt to visitors to Albuquerque who seek the authentic New Mexican cuisine, at reasonable prices.

• Pros: Great food,service, atmosphere
• Cons: Parking

Great New Mexican cuisine.

by vinny59

Good food, fast and efficient waitresses, but what a disappintment to find out they did not serve SOIPAPILLAS. I have to have SOIPAPILLAS with New Mexican cuisine. Sorry BARELAS.

• Pros: Great food! Fast, efficient and courteous waitresses!
• Cons: Where are the SOIPAPILLAS? I have to have SOIPAPILLAS with New Mexicine cuizine.

Chili breakfast on the patio -- WOW !!!!

by rumcow

This place is so crowded that you can't get OUT the door, let alone in. But it is DEFINITELY worth it. Get a table on the inside patio and have breakfast with their red or green chili -- you know the debate. Either here is fantastic.

• Pros: the patio, green & red chili, breakfasts
• Cons: enormous lines, very crowded, little parking

Excellent

by drjohn46

Best green chile in Albuquerque, perhaps in New Mexico. Great southwestern atmosphere. The smells of nearby tortilla factories add to the experience.

• Pros: Eclectic atmosphere, great food, best green chile
• Cons: lack of parking
