No restaurant does NM-style chicharrones better than these folks.
You will not find better chicharrones for sale in Albuquerque.

James Beard American Classic. Foodie tourists rightly seek it out.Family run - and the grandkids have it going as good as ever. (In my experience, this is a rarity: oftentimes the second generation fumbles the ball handing things to the third. These folks today are sharper than ever - and they have to be, because it's now a foodie destination on top of being a local fave.)Delicious red (from a Salem, NM small farm, perhaps the best you'll find served in any Albuquerque restaurant) _and_ green.Phenomenal chicharrones.World class carne adovada."Mexican wedding cake" is kind of more of a pineapple/carrot cake and it sells out fast - quite yummy (worth getting one to share at the table).Tasty complimentary chips and salsa.Great service - constant drink refills and no hassle about guests' silly requests.Friendly and welcoming, fast and inexpensive.They have all the business they need - come or don't come, makes no difference. The only one who will miss out if you don't come is you.Parking can be challenging - they have spots out back and street spots in the front, but these fill up quickly. Be _very_ careful pulling out of their lot onto Fourth, as people gun through there.

This place is good! Food is delicious, staff is friendly and service was good. Place is a challenge for parking but we went after breakfast and before the lunch rush which seemed to be a good time on a Friday. Red and green Chile had good flavor and some heat but not too hot that it would take the flavor away. Portion was plenty and filling. They had plenty of seating comfortable and clean. Will go back again and to try more on the menu.

Gave me meat when I told them I was vegetarian!After I asked if both the chile were vegetarian, the employee told me they both were. I asked for a bean burrito with the vegetarian chile and when I opened my takeout order, it was covered with ground meat in the chile. Very disappointing. I have no tolerance for that.

This has been ind of my favorite restaurants for close to 30 years. The chile is my favorite. I used to only get the red , but now I get Christmas. I often take a pint to go. It's family owned and operated and the love , quality and consistency has only continued to improve over time. Mary was there every time I went for lunch . Two of the cooks have been there for most of that time as well. Mary's daughter and grandson's are there enthusiastically serving what I think is the gold standard in New Mexican cuisine. Everything is amazing but I have some favorites. A side relleno with Xmas on the side . Blue corn , ground beef enchiladas with red chile and an egg . You'll be filling up their old school punch card in no time.

First of all, when you drive up to the restaurant you have to know that you are walking into a traditional New Mexican home style restaurant with paper napkins and tile floor with nothing super fancy. Ok ok,, so no white table clothe or fancy hostess, but let me tell you about the service and the food!!!! OOhh my goodness the red chile sauce is amazing, just the perfect amount of spice. Most of the time the green is hotter than the red chile, but the carne adovado stuffed sopapillas w/egg over the top are to die for!!!! If you have any room left over or not, and if you're lucky enough to get a piece, you have to eat a piece of the home made wedding cake. It is a MUST! Five stars are a must from me.

I first visited this restaurant in 1966 with a friend from the University of Albuquerque. I was so impressed with their absolutely out-of-this-world bowl of Green Chiles!! It was so burning spicy hot that I couldn't even finish it in few minutes. Never had I ever tasted such hot dish before.. But I liked it so much!I highly recommend Mary and Tito's.They also have the best-tasting red chile sauce. Absolutely delicious!
