Ana's kitchen

There is nothing fancy about this mom and pop hole in the wall restaurant. It is a tiny restaurant but a gem in the north valley. It is like walking into your grandmas kitchen for a bite to eat. We were greeted by a young woman with a huge smile. The menu is small just like the dining room. The prices are super reasonable. For us the portions are just right and fit the price. If you have a huge appetite you might find it small but we found it just right. The plates run between $8-10. But the flavors are just like grandmas. I order the chiliquiles and my husband ordered the machaca with shredded beef. The plates came hot pretty fast. We will definitely return

Well, when a restaurant draws us back again, we go back. This time with some new customers who experienced Ana's Kitchen for the first time. Tom Neiman and Jim Tritten have been back more than a few times since our initial report last March 8th. We are pleased to report that the food, especially the machaca, is as good as ever. And Ana is as delightful as ever. This informal establishment is located on Edith Blvd., NE, between Montano Rd., NE, and Osuna Rd., NE; this informal establishment caters to the early morning breakfast and lunch crowds. Bring a coffee mug and see if Ana will add it to her wall collection. Want music? Ana plays country and western on a small table-top radio beside an indoor plant garden. We love coming to Ana's Kitchen and know you will, too. Just click on the following YouTube link and join some of the boys from the VA Creative Writing Group as they feast on machaca and other delights. Great food, friendly service, and a relaxing indoor setting. BTW, Ana now accepts credit cards. And if you are from New Mexico and have never eaten Mexican machaca, Google it. https://youtu.be/VY9bhK27vuE?si=gqwHVxkJa9dDgvFC

Just absolutely horrible food and service in an environment that I can't believe passes inspection.

Stumbled upon this little hole in the wall and stopped in for lunch. The young lady that waited on us was pleasant and asked if we wanted chips & salsa. "Of course" I said.The complimentary chips & salsa tasted unique. The chips were freshly fried. The salsa was not too hot, with kind of a lemony aftertaste. We ordered:* Huevos rancheros, they came with whole beans, hash brown potatoes and freshly made tortilla.* Large green chile stew. It came with whole beans, potatoes, ground beef, and a freshly made flour tortilla.The dining area & restrooms were clean. There was not a lot of decor, more like an old time diner atmosphere. But the food was the real deal and it wasn't too expensive. Our check was about $13.00 for the two of us.

Had breakfast here today and it was just okay. Hard to screw up breakfast. Coffee was not so good. Service was slow. Food was just okay. Green chili was hot. The decor was is basic Walmart. In a pinch, it will do, but there are much better breakfast joints out there.

It is what it is! Nice hole in the wall restaurant locally owned and Operated. Thick slices of bacon with fluffy eggs surrounded by perfectly sliced potatoes smothered in cheese and some of New Mexico's finest green chili. WoW! Now don't expect fine dining- no that is not what this is... You got mom in there cooking you a meal- a meal that will provide you the energy to get shit done type of meal. If you are in town to visit or live here it should be on your must do! It tops all chain breakfast joints, Twisters and even Blakes. I would give it five stars but they don't charge enough and I don't want to wait in long lines haha.!.!Thanks for the years of service and sorry I haven't written you a review sooner.

Straight up delicious. Family owned, good food that is still reasonable and the family is a sweet kind family. Green Chile sauce is robust and exactly what one needs on huevos.

This is a hole in the wall place which isn't glamorous from the outside. Just basically a family run establishment, the kind which flourished years ago, and are being supplanted by big chains and corporations from coast to coast. Great food on a low budget. Support local small businesses like this before they are gone forever. Caveat : They don't have a credit card reader, so please bring cash. A disappearing part of Americana.

UPDATE: Came to Ana's again this month on another trip to ABQ. We found she had moved down the street to a cute little place. Ordered the Rellenos again and they were Great again. We really enjoy her cooking and her! Very sweet and gracious host. We will be moving to the area and plan to make Ana's a regular stop when we do.

First of all, this is a blue collar workers diner. Nothing fancy about this place. BUT, if you're looking for food like grandma, your mom, or whoever used to make - this is the place for you. I have ate there a few ties for breakfast, but wether it's the Fireman's Special, Huevos Ranchero, or Huevos con Carne Adovada it's all been really good and absolutely delicious. This is the best bargain in town. We had two fire mans special (two eggs, 3 bacon, hash browns, tortilla, and green chile) and two coffees for just under 14 bucks with tax. It's a family friendly place and because it is off the beaten path I've never had to wait. Seriously, do not judge a book by its cover. From the outside it looks small. But once inside it holds 12-14 tables. I've been waited on by Ana herself and Rose and the service is always good. Food comes out quick and nice and hot.
