Casa De Benavidez

Ideal place for a baby shower. That's the first thing that comes to mind. A staff so sharp they don't even need to write down your order! And they still get it right!!! Anyone know a place they pass by all the time but never try for some reason? This was that place for some! But no longer because now we have been. Go Lobos5 stars

Very accommodating! I made reservations (last minute) for 16 people and they were able to schedule us in. Their New Mexican food was excellent! We had one server for 16 people and she was attentive and friendly. Loved the atmosphere since it wasn't as noisy as other restaurants. I'll be back!

Service:Excellent waiters and staff. Super attentive and helpful. We had to wait 20 min for a seat but the place was only 1/3 full - seemed like maybe some staffing/management issues. Ambiance:Inside space was a little dark but the fountain in the foyer is neat. Overall a fine space inside. Food:We got a sopapailla burger which was decent but left a little to be desired. The sopapaillas are tasty but don't make good hamburger buns - better as a separate treat. Red Chile was excellent but warning that it is quite rich. It has a distinctive taste though that you can only get in NM.

Highly recommend this New Mexican style old-school restaurant. The service is fantastic. The food is excellent. However, recognize they don't take reservations and they get pretty busy in the evening. If you're going on Friday, go early. The good news is that they've got a nice waiting area and an excellent selection of tequila and local brews. I've posted a few pictures of the menu, however, they are known for their sopapilla burger of which I highly recommend smothered red and green chili. Price is reasonable! And there is entertainment on the patio on Fridays.

Hands down one the best places to eat in Abq. Authentic New Mexico food. Top quality made fresh in house home cooking. Don't cheat yourself treat yourself. Stop by on Thursday or Friday to eat in the outside patio. Guitar player starts playing at 5:30.

Could of been a four if the smallest side of chile was not $3.95 . The happy hour beer was $2.99 and two tacos $2.95 I asked for red chile instead of salsa . I checked the bill and for 2oz of red they charged $3.95 . Now they should of said that when I ordered I believe and brought this up to management and bartender and they where so dismissive like that's the price , so !! Well I have been in the service industry 18 years and when I worked at a place and people are at the bar ordering happy hour and something is expensive as an add on I have always mentioned it to the customer. Also it's not a 5 because no one was that friendly and food was ok .

The usual dilemma - where to eat? So here we are. We get a seat indoors near the window,With a great view of a pond with waterfalls and fish oblivious to the going's on around them. A quick look at the menu and guacamole comes into view, sounded good so it gets ordered. An ample mount of the green stuff arrive with chips and green chile salsa. Entrees ordered as we noshed on the chips. The fajitas came out sizzling - the skillet hot. The fajitas sizzled for10 minutes after being served. A little too salty for my taste. But I am sensitive to salt. My chimichanga was a nice golden brown, not over cooked. It was stuffed with meat and cheese and topped with more cheese. Add excellent service and you get a good meal. You owe it to yourself to check this place out - if for nothing else the atmosphere and old style adobe looking walls surrounding the outdoor seat

I've been wanting to come here since last year. Unfortunately, the patio was still closed when I came last Monday (it was voted as one of the best patios in ABQ during COVID) and wouldn't be open until at least May 1st. We were seated in the sunroom, with a view of the patio however and you could see the koi swimming around. The hours have been a little strange and I know they're short staffed. We had planned on making it for "breakfast' as it's only served until 12. We left a little later than planned, went through the to go entrance, and had trouble finding a handicap spot. So, by the time we got in and sat down, it was a few minutes past 12, and they had to check with the cooks to see if they would still be willing to make breakfast. Food came out quickly. My mom got the el mexicano omelette with tomatoes and onion (served with hashbrowns). The omelette was a good size, but she thought the flavor was just okay. I got the chicharron breakfast burrito (eggs, green on the side, beans, chicharron, and hashbrown). The burrito was hot (temperature-wise) on the inside. The chile was somewhat mild, although had a little bit of a kick in a few bites. Out of the chicharron burrito tour I've done in tonw, I'd say this ranked in the top 3, as the chicharron was crisp and not overly chewy. We also got chips and salsa brought to our table. Our waitress didn't pay a lot of attention to us, as our waters went unfilled, but she did have several other tables. The decor is a little outdated, but still has a comfortable atmosphere. I will be back, even just to have a coconut margarita on the patio. 2023 #7

Great food and service was superb. Stuffed sopaipilla with carne adovada was the best ever. Great location.

Amazing beef enchiladas with red and green chile. The flavor was perfect. Chips, salsa and guacamole was good too. Great service!
