Business Summary what's this?
For two star Mexican, try Padilla's Mexican Kitchen in Albuquerque. This is one of the popular restaurants in the area. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a casual atmosphere. This place is good for groups. Diners found the food consistently good.
4.0 of 5 stars.

This is about the best Mexican food anywhere. Red sauce and sopapillas are superb. One caution however, it is only a few blocks off the 40 freeway east of downtown, but if you are new to the area,...

Sadie's has nothing on this place! The chile is solo good! The tamales are out of this world! To top it off, this is the only place you can get quelites like mama used to make.

Have no idea when you can go when this restaurant isn't busy, so be prepared for a wait. But the food is excellent, and the service has been the best. The waiters are attentive, but busy and efficient.
