I'm so sad that I now live on the east coast and the best Mexican food is so far away. The Barelas Coffee House is a staple of Albuquerque's Best Mexican food that can be had. It's priced easy on the pocketbook and besides being so far away, the only downside is trying to find parking. The place has grown so much over the years that it takes up the entire small triangular block on which it sits. The dining room seems to go on forever. If you're on a budget you should really try this place as you'll get food comparable to other places with 3 times the price. Like usual, you know if the locals all eat there that it must be good. And it is!! Say Hey to "Fro" as we used to call him, Michael Gonzales is the owner and operator. A more pleasant man you'll never find. He's even very gracious when they are slammed, which is quite often. Michael has also been good to the community, giving back so much. He could be the mayor of Albuquerque if he wanted.

Good food, large servings and well priced. This is definitely an institution, which is a pro/con -popular for a reason because it's tasty and filling, but with the popularity comes a lack of speed. Came during a midday brunch/lunch rush and waited over 40min for my food, which isn't outrageous for a busy time. However, my food was only lukewarm/cold, which indicated it had been sitting for a while. My server was friendly, and did her best, but she seemed a bit stretched thin for the crowd. Decent experience overall, but wouldn't necessarily make a special trip here.

Amazing at always, seriously a classic and my go to for huevos rancheros. I love when I go and the patio is open because it's always nice to enjoy a piping hot plate of huevos rancheros deluxe and coffee out in the fresh air. They have misters on when it's a little warmer too.
