Been coming to Los crates for over 20 years, the food is great, inexpensive and fresh. Portions are a bit big but you'll always have left overs to look forward to.

After being seated, we were served chips and salsa to enjoy while we read through the extensive menu. We were impressed by the reasonableness of the prices and the value presented. The salsa was complex and interesting, while the chips were just ok.We ordered the chile rellenos platter and the cheese enchiladas from the lite menu. The chile rellenos was one of the best versions we've ever had; the enchiladas and sopapillas were below average; and everything else was average. Our server was nice, but we didn't get the sopapillas until he brought the check, and I told him we hadn't gotten them. Overall, decent value for the money. We'd order differently next time.

Im becoming one of those old people who expect anything but the original is probably inferior... Don't get me wrong ive loved the various locations on Lomas, i still miss the cafe. But i digress this location both the bar was nicely lighted and fun, and the food was as good or better than the others. The chimichanga was crispy and perfect, the spinach dip was cheesy and creamy. and the green was good. Been back 3 times since i started this review, and all 3 times the service and food has been great.

The Stuffed Sopapilla w/Carne Adovada took me back to 1985 seeing Frank cooking & then-wife serving us in the dining room. Savory taste & chile in each bite. The Compuesta salad was outstanding served in a tortilla shell. The rolled enchiladas w/Shredded Beef had tender bites. The room temp was perfect and respite from the Summer heat outside.

Man I have not had ABQ food in 12 years and was so excited. Sadly Los Cuates is not as good as I remember it being. I ordered the carne adobada and a Chile relleno. The Chile relleno was great but the carne was very bland and cold.Sopapillas were freaking amazing!

It seems the problem was in the kitchen with the cooks. Sitting in the bar hearing many plates were missing rice or other issues with their food. It took my waiter that was also working in the main restaurant a long time to get to me. I always ask for the taco salsa for my chips for they serve a deep red one that is too sweet for me. Waiter finally took my order and before ending he asked if lettuce, tomato and cheese would be okay, which I ordered steak tacos and I said yes. When they were delivered there was no lettuce, tomato or cheese on them. PLAIN!!! I already knew the issues going on with other tables, so I decided to enjoy as is, since I don't like returning my food back, due to not knowing what the cooks would do. In the meantime, two employees had a conversation about another employee was getting better treatment from management. One said they had more longevity that that employee and it was not fair to them. It seemed like my favorite waiter had left the business. I worked in HR and I was always fair and fought for fairness. I guess the Menaul restaurant is cut off, since it is out of my way, with the Lomas location being much closer. I just like that waiter that quit is way I went there. I guess maybe I need to check another New Mexican crusine in Albuquerque to enjoy my culture food.

This review was meant for the LOMAS Los Cuates location. We have nothing but awesome feedback for the Menaul location. I'm not sure why it posted here.We had just been on vacation, and when we returned, we wanted our favorite Los Cuates dinners. As we drove into Albuquerque and I placed the order on the website with a completion time of 20 minutes, by 8:15 ish. We arrived at the take out desk at 8:24 pm. We had paid online with my debit card but decided to pay a tip in cash. Dinner came out to $76.04, when we walked in, and we heard the staff asking if we had left a tip. The girl bagging our dinner said no. We walked in, gave her my name and held up $10, and said, "Here is your tip." I think she may not have realized we heard them talking about the tip. We live 30+ miles away from the restaurant. We arrived home, and I began handing out the 3 meals ordered. The first plate was large ground beef red chile enchiladas, which looked and tasted great. 2nd was a shredded beef red chile chimichanga plate, looked and tasted great. My meal was a shredded beef quesadilla. Which should have been a large flour tortilla with cheese and grilled beef, served with olives, tomatoes, jalapeños, shredded cheese, guacamole and sour cream. The picture below is a slice from that meal. In the to go box, a quesadilla with shredded beef and cheese, no olives, no tomatoes, and the jalapeños were in a small pile in the corner. Where was everything else? Since when did a quesadilla become a build your own? And how would I add the jalapeños to it when the shredded cheese inside had fused the top and bottom of the quesadilla together. Placing the jalapeños on top would now make this a tostada. I wanted a quesadilla. I am so disappointed. The order also had a quart of salsa (loved it), a pound of chips, and lastly, a quart of queso. The picture below shows the queso (we added some of the salsa to it), it was so thick it was like spreading cold cream cheese on a room temperature bagel. We have tried heating it up again (started smelling burnt almost immediately), but it didn't loosen up. Again, we were so disappointed. We couldn't call last night because they were closed by the time we arrived home. I'll call today, but it's too late. For dinner, I had chips and salsa, which really sucked after a 13-hour drive home. What happened Los Cuates on Lomas? I was simply wanting an acknowledgment and maybe an apology. I won't say we will never eat at Los Cuates again because we will, but probably not the Lomas location.
