Abuelita's New Mexican Kitchen

Nice experience. This was my first time dining at this location and it was excellent. Our server, Amber, we very friendly and pleasant and always had a smile and provided great service. The food was excellent I had the carne adovada plate and it was delicious, very tender and flavorful. I would definitely recommend stopping by and you won't be disappointed!

I really enjoyed our lunch here! Such welcoming and friendly service and the meal was terrific. Classic NM fare in a fun and happy restaurant.

This is one of our favorite go-to restaurants. This is a real family business, so sometimes there is a wait, so go before you are starving and order a beverage (wine-irita was a fun treat!) while you wait! everyone is always so nice, You can see it's a neighborhood spot, which is a ringing endorsement! It's relaxed yet classy. And of course the food is awesome, (real New Mexican) & there is plenty of it. I will happily bump them to a full 5 star as soon as they are able to staff up (which I really hope they do!) I have no pictures because I eat it up so fast!

Finally get to check this historic New Mexican restaurant off my list! Walking in we were greeted and seated in a very bright dining room. The service here was really good except for one thing. We ran out of chip's before we finished our salsa and guacamole. The waitress didn't come back til she brought our food so we never got a chance to ask for more. The tacopilla is a large fry bread folded in half full of beans and your choice of meat for $1.75 more. It was full of guacamole and sour cream and came with a side of both red and green chile. I thought it was really good. I ordered a chile relleno on the side and it was the one thing I really didn't like because it seemed to be of the frozen box type of rellenos. I don't believe it was freshly made. Lots of restaurants use these types of rellenos. Anyhow, I ordered some sopapillas and I'm not going to lie to you, they were the best I've ever had. They were soft, fluffy and sweet before I even put honey in them! I ate the whole basket! I've never had natillas and when I asked the waitress about them she brought us a bowl of it for free! I now like natillas! This was a great restaurant to come to for the first time today. I'd definitely come back even though it was a little expensive. $48 for me and my daughter before tip. Two thumbs up from me!

This wonderful South Valley family owned Mexican restaurant nourishes families for generations.Lovely daily specials, warm sopapillas, and carne adovaThe waitresses are attentive, but not helicopterish. Checking out is smooth and quick!Excellent soda/soft drinks, but Arnold Palmer's are the finest.

I'm no particular order: Fabulous!#1 the salsa is legit! I mean all the flavors are right where they are supposed to be with the heat level at a good medium. It's not chunky and it doesn't break your chips.... Super important! #2 Denise my server, on point. She is so friendly and just so bubbly. She got a little busy, as we came in a wave of 5 tables, but everyone was chill about it. She was super quick, even with the tiny rush. She was very pleasant and so polite! The busboy was very helpful in getting waters and chips and salsa. He was also very kind with checking on tables in between the food being dropped off and Denise coming back. #3 Sopaipillas are as big as my head and I will tell you YUM! Their honey is fresh and good! And yes, you must douse your sopa in honey! What a nice treat! #4 green Chile has a ton of flavor.... It did burn my mouth a little bit... I'm trying to adjust to NM! #5 portions are huge.... No way could I finish all my food, but gave it a good try! The pulled beef in the enchiladas was OMG.... I could've honestly just had a solid plate of that! #6 sweet little spot! I'm happy to have found it!

ABUELITA's New Mexican Kitchen is a delicious dining experience in the South Valley. For starters, we ordered Chips and Salsa, Chile con Queso and the Guacamole Salad. Everything - the salsa, the cheese, the guacamole - was very tasty - even the chips were crispy and flavorful. For main dishes, I ordered the Beef Fajitas and my wife ordered the 3-Taco Plate - both meals were perfectly cooked - and the portions were big! We weren't planning on dessert, but their "Yum Yum Cake" sounded intriguing - and it was indeed very Yummy Yummy! Service was excellent and prices extremely reasonable. The dining room exuded a strong 'south western' ambience. We'll be back! Highly recommended.

Absolutely the best green chile stew in New Mexico, maybe in the world. Lots of pork that falls a part in your mouth, potatoes, delicious green chile, corn, green beans, and squash. It was hot and the tortilla was warm. Service was great atmosphere warm and welcoming.

We had not been at Abulitas on Isleta for several years. Decided to give it a try two days ago, went there and what a disappointment! The food was cold. It took over 35 minutes to get our lunch and when we brought home 2 pints of Natillas to eat, they were spoiled! They tasted like lime, horrible, horrible horrible will not be eating there again .. $16.50 a pint and in the garbage it went!

Great local restaurant with friendly service and delicious food. Warm atmosphere and welcoming staff.
