Best meal and atmosphere of our whole trip! Guacamole was spectacular. The chimichanga was crisp, and I highly recommend going for the Christmas combination of red and green Chile. The setting is beautiful and the prices are very reasonable. I will definitely return on my next visit.

Really disappointing experience. The food was fine, but the service and atmosphere were both very poor. We had high hopes, but got the impression that this place is a shadow of it's former self.

The food was very good and the service was great. We enjoyed the guitar music. It took a bit to get the food but it was worth the wait. Great place to dine in Albuquerque.

Big portions, good Margaritas, nice and attentive waitress. Almost perfect but for the tortillas that were the thickest I have ever seen, made them too heavy somehow. But other than that it was overall a good experience.
