Stufy's

It's interesting to me that this location has 3 stars yet the drive thru is out to the road and almost every parking spot is filled on a Monday around 11:45. Y'all say you don't like it, but here you are! Ha! And I am here too! Because this fast food Mexican is DELICIOUS! This is obviously not Taco Bell nor is it gourmet but it is tasty. It's unique and it uniquely Albuquerque. In the drive thru there are 2 menu signs, the first is basically just food with no prices, the second where you speak into the speaker has prices. It's reasonable. But to feel full you might need to order more than 1 Stufy. Just in case your reading this and you don't live in Albuquerque a Stufy is a stuffed sopapilla, if you don't know what a sopapilla is - it's like a fried bread pocket that you fill with various ingredients.The food if good, on the level of Taco Bell or an old school taco truck.

Friday. August 9, 2024. Lunch.I fondly remember the Stufy's of old. Piping hot, large, fluffy overstuffed sopapillas at very reasonable prices. With all the out-of-control inflation, those cheap prices are long gone. I guess prices are going up so fast, the drive through sign with the printed prices was out of date. Guys, please update your sign.The sign stated the #9- green chile, refried beans, ground beef, lettuce and cheese was $6.97. I paid $7.25. Sign stated #11- green chile, shredded chicken and lettuce was $7.49. I paid $7.79. In addition, the drive through line had about 10 cars ahead of me, spilling out onto Candelaria. I didn't mind that so much, it's a mark of a good restaurant to be that busy. Service seemed fast enough. Sopapillas came out hot. They aren't as fluffy or as stuffed with ingredients as I remembered. Don't get me wrong, they were still tasty, although the green chile could have been a bit hotter. I'm subtracting two stars for the out-of-date menu. It annoyed me.

I really like this little restaurant. This is only the 3rd time I've been here and all 3 times have been some great cheap eats! This time I had the gorilla burger and it's huge. It also comes with fries and two cups of chile for dipping. The service was great, friendly and fast! I recommend this place if you are in the area. Two thumbs up from me

Abysmally slow like it always is (make sure you don't have to be anywhere and have a full tank of gas) but what's with the lobby at the Candelaria location always being closed. Pandemic has been over for awhile now. And in case nobody got the memo, we are living in 2024 but the drive thru speaker system sounds like it came over on the Mayflower. Maybe upgrade the thing, even a Ring doorbell has better audio quality. And considering the signs outside warning about their camera system I'm sure they could spring for it. Oh, and don't ever bother trying to order their queso and tostadas, they are ALWAYS out.

Delicious hand held stuffed sopaipillas! I had the #9 & #11. Great tasty flavor pairing and nice spicy heat on the green chile. Convenient drive thru. Good prices

I have near-forgotten childhood memories of eating at Stufy's during trips to Albuquerque, in fact, Stufy's stuffed sopapilla may have been the first stuffed sopapilla I ever experienced. I've not been in to try one in nearly 30 years, however, and I find now that I regret all that lost time.We were driving through the North Valley, social-distancing from inside the car, and I remembered that this is one of the few places you can get the stuffed sopapilla I've been craving for months via drive-thru window. Raz had seen the business before but never visited. I ordered the Stufy #1, Raz the Stufy #6, and we both got the Stufy #5 for dessert. The #1 was simple, filling, and true to every illusive memory I have from childhood. The #6 was a tasty concoction I'd never think up myself in a million years and Raz was quite pleased. Neither of us are apple pie-with-cheese people, so while we agreed that all the parts of the #5 were pretty darn tasty, we weren't certain on the overall combination. We will very likely be back now that we've rediscovered this unassuming little gem, and I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu.

Food would've been good had the order come right. Not only did the lady in the drive thru rush us to order, the entire order was wrong. why rush us if you're not going to listen? we were missing a stuffed sopapilla and the ones we got were full of green chili that we specifically asked for without. Poor customer service. Do better.

The food is great- always delicious. The service is abysmal, especially this last visit. I've ALWAYS called ahead to place an order to go but this time i was told I had to order at the drive-thru... Well I'm hearing impaired and their speaker is for sh*t so I can't understand what they're saying. Not ideal but fine, whatever. So I pull around to the window for assistance only to be told I HAVE TO order at the drive-thru menu station. I park and call them again to explain the issue and amtold to pull around to the same window I was dismissed from! So I make a second attempt and a different person comes to the window. Finally, he helps me but I'm charged for one stuffed sopapilla what I've been charged for two in the pasy! If the prices have increased, fine, but then make the online menu prices reflect that!

Love the chili cheese dogs. I will say I went in and wish they can fix the speaker because it's hard to hear the person on the other line. It's pretty quick and the food is fresh.

We went to order some food got combination plates which were wrong we paid extra for the changes and didn't get them. Then walked back to stuffys and the lobby was closed we were told to walk through the line. I was appalled. As I was watching the kids/workers through the window I noticed none of them had on gloves they been handling everything without gloves so disgusted. We then told each other we will cut our losses even though it was well over 20 bucks because we didn't want the food after witnessing what we saw. We will not be going back to that location and we will be letting it known the way it is ran so no one has to go through this.....
