Delicias Cafe

I met some friends here for brunch and had been excited to try it when I saw a new place had popped up in this location. The old restaurant that was in this spot was one of my absolute favorite brunch spots so I really wanted to see what the new owners had done. I wasn't disappointed, the decor is a lot of fun and the food was delicious. I tried the spinach omelette and it had lots of fresh veggies in it along with the hash browns and refried beans. The hash browns were done just right and nice and crispy and not oversalted or soggy! Our server was wonderful. Her English wasn't great, but that was fine, it gave me the opportunity to practice my spanish and she was quite patient with my flailing (and would switch to English if I really got lost). So let's just say both our language skills were good enough to get the meals ordered no problem. I think if you're a straight up English speaker you wouldn't have any issue either but I enjoyed the opportunity to practice. She was great about coming by and refilling the drinks and checking on us. The prices were completely reasonable and I will be back to try more things!

My recent visit to Delicias Cafe was a mix of highs and lows. Starting with the complementary chips and salsa, they were a delightful beginning to the meal. The chips were crisp, and the salsa had a nice, fresh flavor.I ordered the Desebrada Tacos, which I found decent but somewhat lacking in flavor. The meat could use a bit more seasoning to truly stand out. Unfortunately, the rice that accompanied the meal didn't fare much better, as it didn't taste fresh and was a bit crunchy at times.The Taco Alambre, however, were a highlight. The combination of onion and tomatoes brought out a great flavor that I thoroughly enjoyed. The horchata, though, was a bit disappointing. It had too much cinnamon and missed the characteristic milky flavor that makes horchata so refreshing.On a positive note, the service at Delicias Cafe was good, with attentive and friendly staff making the dining experience pleasant overall. With a few adjustments to the food, this cafe has the potential to be a standout spot.

Delicias is a good name for this restaurant.   I like the food and it couldn't have prettier seating which you'll see in the photos.  Chips and salsa come with the meal. So does a yummy vegetable, beef, and rice soup. I've never had that at a Mexican restaurant before. I went today with a friend. We each got the Wednesday Special of 3 Tacos (chicken,  shredded beef, or ground beef) for $12.  It also came with rice and beans.  The salad was just a little shredded lettuce on top.  If you order the exact same thing on a different day without the Special, it would be $15.29 so I think it is a good deal.  I ordered one chicken and two ground beef.  The chicken taco was better. The waitress was very nice and did a good job. The only thing I would change is that the prices, other than the Specials, are on the high side. Still, I'll be back many times.

Loved this place for breakfast!! Best we've had in Albuquerque. It is pricey for mexican food. Decor and booths were very colorful and fun to look at. Enchiladas Montadas ($14.54) - 2 eggs atop 3 enchiladas. Eggs were coked perfectly and oozed out all over the enchiladas....heaven! Huevos Divorciados ($13.24) - 2 eggs atop corn tortillas red and green sauce. Served with a corn chorizo quesadilla. Delicious!! Chips and salsa were so good we purchased some to go. Service was good but my wife did speak in spanish. I could see some reviews mentioned language barriers. We will be back!

Felicia's is a hidden treasure in the city. Just behind Amy's Donuts, it's easy to miss. When you open the door it looks like you have just stepped into Costal Mexico. Tables and chairs are brightly painted and it makes you happy just to sit down and take in the atmosphere. Service is prompt and the food is just amazing. Prices are very reasonable. This is a place only the locals know about, and if you haven't discovered it here's a recommendation. Don't miss it!

I called in the order and it was hot and ready when I got there. The food was delicious.

Came for their Menudo and Pozole! Besides Juani's, this is the only other place I know in the city that serves BOTH pozole and menudo. Cute decor inside with plenty of seating! Gotta go back to try more breakfast items! So far Delicias and Juani's has good menudo in ABQ. I haven't tried El dorado yet!

Cócteles de camarones are one of my favorite indulgences. IMHO, those from Cafe Delicias are perfect. They're a bit sweet, whereas other places tend towards spicy. Filled with nicely sized shrimp, cucumbers, and other tasty treats, I like to crumble up the chips they bring with their flavorful salsa and then eat the juice soaked chips along with the shrimp. They have a complete Mexican menu from breakfast to dinner. And the decor inside is beautiful!

So my lady asked what I wanted for lunch? I replied, "El Viva Mexico!" Then she says she wants me to try this place. Well El Viva Mexico it is not. The dish I wanted to try had jalapeño and onions in it. "Can I have it prepared without those?" "No." So it isn't prepared from scratch... I passed. I ended up getting three meats hash Browns and pancakes. Nothing to write home to mother about. The word for today is: disappointed. I find myself wanting to ask, "Why ask me where I want to eat if we don't go there?" In any event, the best thing about this place are its hours of operation. 8am to 7pm. If you are in the mood for just okay Mexican food...this is your spot.

Food use to be good and tasted authentic. This was awful. Service not goodWill not go back
