Padillas Mexican Kitchen - Albuquerque

Good, no frills NM food! Service is always quick and friendly. We’ve never had a problem placing a to-go order. It is good but not the best NM food in the whole city however, to be fair, there is a lot of competition. The chile could be spicier and a bit more flavorful. But if you’re looking for good prices, decent portion sizes, and to support a local family owned restaurant, this is your place. Seems like there are a lot of regulars. Keep in mind-they only accept cash so be prepared! This is something to remember since most of us in the younger generations don’t generally carry cash.

Absolutely the best beef burrito I've ever had! Quesadilla was served open faced (which was weird, but my son loved it and I know I will have to serve them to him this way from now on). Fresh chips and salsa, reasonable drink prices, and healthy servings. Rice and beans were outstanding too! My dinner came with a basket of sopapillas and those were a HIT! Douse those bad boys in honey and DEVOUR! Staff came up regularly to chat and mingle... And made recommendations for what to get. If you want family style New Mexican food with TONS of flavor, do not miss out on this place! Side Note this place is CASH only. There is weird little red ATM box out front that is empty, so I had to end up running to a gas station to get enough to cover the meal and tip. Even with that, I'd do it the same a hundred times over. Absolutely fantastic!!!

Their proces are affordable. The combination plate was delicious. I added chicken to my enchilada. Great homelike atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Very authentic cuisine. Busy, fun atmosphere. Service was friendly and fast. The Sopaipillas are phenomenal. Should’ve ordered more.

Great place at great prices. This restaurant has some of the best New Mexican food in Albuquerque at very reasonable prices. It is not surprising this is restaurant is packed every time I go there. It is well worth it even if you have to wait a few minutes for a table. Highly recommended!
