Monroe's was recommended to me by some friends who had lived in Albuquerque. It's a couple of blocks from Old Town. It is not a fancy place but the food is plentiful, tasty and inexpensive. I recommend either the Green Chili Cheesburger (not for those with active heart disease) or the Carne Adovada Platter. Both great meals for less than... More

This family owned New Mexico restuarant has a loyal following, we love the staff and food. It is consistent, authentic, fresh and well prepared. It is a no-fuss place, but enough attention to the food, service and detail to make it a place to go to again and again. More

I always meet up with family or friends to eat here. The staff is very friendly and treats you like you are a part of their own families. The service is fantastic and the food comes to you quickly. I would suggest this place for a more authentic taste. More

The food here is great--sopapillas always fresh, too!! The service is pretty good, sometimes it depends on how busy they are. It's not a fancy place, but if good food and reasonable prices is what you want, you'll love it! More

We went here for lunch. The kids loved the soapapillas and we loved the green chili. I had the indian taco and it was tasty and my hubby had a combo plate. It was good with the exception of the tamale. Service was quick and friendly. Our glasses were refilled quickly and it is very casual which suits us. More

Passing through Albuquerque on a road trip we were in need of a family friendly restaurant that appealed to all tastes (we have a picky eater in our family). We used trip advisor to search for restaurants near our hotel and this one fit the bill. When we arrived we were allowed to pick our seats. Don't be deceived by... More

Chile Rellano was good. Other stuff was just okay. Sadie's, San Diego, Gardunos' are much better. More

I've lived in Albuquerque for four decades, and as a local my favorite place for New Mexican food is Monroe's - either location, though I'm partial to the one near Old Town. After living overseas for a year without green chile, we went straight there from the airport; didn't even go home first. For New Mexican favorites try their chile... More
