Duran's Station

Durans Station is set up in an old firehouse building. Inside the walls are brick and it is a nice open space. It is the 2nd location for Duran's downtown. The food is delicious! I love the fresh tortillas with butter please! The guacamole, cheese enchiladas on blue corn, the crunchy tacos, both chicken and beef, the torpedo for all you potato lovers and if you ask me red or green, I for one prefer the red chili over the green. The service is quick and the turnaround after you order is pretty quick. It's a perfect lunch spot during the work week hour lunch.

Let's start with the fact that when my mother-in-law and wife agree that the food is fantastic this is a good find. They're red chili sauce is outstanding and the dishes that my wife and mother-in-law had were super enjoyable in both raved about the flavor of the their dishes.The menu is a little limited but the special board is loaded with great offerings as well. You won't be disappointed I guarantee it.You can normally tell right away with a Mexican food restaurant when the salsa is good everything else that follows usually is as good as the salsa. May I say that the salsa was very good as well.Our server Sarah was super accommodating and made sure that we wanted for nothing. Everybody there treated us great. It's nice to be in a different town and find a place that you would go back to time and again. If you've never eaten here I would recommend that you give it a shot. We found it to be quite enjoyable. #irishcatv2

The red chile and food is always fantastic! However two weeks ago I ordered a torpedo for take out. There was hardly any potatoes or cheese inside. It was like eating a folded tortilla with chile. I've never had that experience before. Not sure if this is how it will be because of food costs, but I hope not. The cost of a torpedo is not cheap!I will definitely be back but I am hoping for a better outcome.

Always good service. Always crowded, not necessarily a bad thing, as it's a local favorite! Food is always good! Building its self is an old fire station .

Pleasantly surprised! Parking was a tad odd- one way in, one way out parking lot so bigger vehicles be warned. Waitress was super nice. I'm always on the hunt for a decent burger. This one blew me away. It's fabulous. And the green chili was superb. The place was packed within 15 minutes of opening. It was jammed! Oh and the chips and salsa hit the spot. Chips were still warm, and the salsa had a nice bite

Foods always good and people are great. Done in or takeout, you can't go wrong. Been a family staple for years.

I wanted to like this place way more for the price. I had been wanting to eat here for a long time and finally got an opportunity. I thought the portions were relatively small for the price. The food did come out REALLY fast, but that also led me to wonder how fresh everything was. For huevos and 2 tostadas, it was about $35 before tip. I just didn't think there was much to it for the price. The service was great though! And the red chile was awesome.

I very much enjoy Duran's Station, even despite the marked price increases. Their red (from powder, alas) and green are both good and I look forward to eating here probably once a month. Same chile and same salamander blasting your plate before you're served as at the Duran's Pharmacy downtown. Free chips and salsa (not my favorite, but always tasty) and your drink is always kept full. In fact tht service (generally delightful - we're sad there's been such turnover lately, but they still hustle) and cooking are always on-point and the owner, while more lugubrious in demeanor than any other restauranteur I can think of in the city, is almost always there keeping on top of things. The room can be a little crowded, but is more cozy than oppressive - the Ghattas family has done a fine job with the old Number 8 fire station. Be careful coming out of the one-way parking lot onto Menaul, though: the sign blocks your view and people _fly_ down that street. It's "a liability nightmare," as my dear Uncle Art used to decry.

This place is one of my favorite places to eat real authentic New Mexican food! The food is flavorful and the red and green chili are always so delicious. The service is consistently amazing every single time. Be sure to ask for a tortilla with butter as they are made fresh and are slightly larger than a frisbee! The steamed potatoes pair well with the red chili! Duran's Station never disappoints!!!

Enjoyed our dinner on a Saturday afternoon! The fairly small venue was nearly full with people. The food was tasty and the salsa was hot!! Will go back again. Appreciate the hospitality :)
