Triana

Stopped by Triana on a Friday night around 7 pm after flying in to Sunport. There is decent street parking by the restaurant. The restaurant has a very modern and intimate vibe, with low lighting and smaller tables. There were several open tables, so we got seated immediately and placed our orders. We started with the pan con tomate, a classic Spanish tapa. The presentation was fantastic -- I thought it was super creative to have the olives on a skewer sticking out of the bread. I personally enjoyed how the bread was slightly over toasted, giving the bread so much crunch. Next was the Filet de Lomo, or steak skewers. The meat was incredibly tender and cooked to a great medium rare. I absolutely loved the green sauce it was paired with, it gave such a garlicky? kick to the dish. We then moved on to the Rabo de Toro, or oxtail. The presentation of this dish was amazing, with fried onions on top of the oxtail and mashed potatoes. The oxtail was very tender and tasty with the espangole, and the mashed potatoes were very rich and smooth. Next was the tartar -- since they ran out of tuna, salmon was used instead. Despite the switch, the fish was still great: the fish was very fresh and soft, and there was a lovely tang due to the lemon. We finished off with the glazed duck breast. The dish arrived very warm, and the meat was very fresh. I will say that with the skin of the duck breast on, the dish was quite salty (but I removed the skin and the duck breast was perfect). I found the raisin-orange-lettuce salad was very unique, but a great compliment to the salty nature of the duck. Triana was an amazing welcome into Albuquerque! The dishes had amazing flavors and beautiful presentation. I will definitely look to come back the next time I'm in New Mexico!

We went there for my birthday dinner. It was about seventy dollars plus tip for four tapas (enough for two people), dessert (shared), and two drinks (one each).I would recommend getting a reservation there, but it's not completely necessary probably.The ambiance was nice and the server was cheery.

came with family, and had a great evening. Food was amazing great seasonal cocktails and our server Serena was attentive and informative. Fun little tapas type place definitely worth a visit

Amazing Tapas. Vegetarian selection has plenty to fill me up an it was all incredible. Serena was just right as a server and the ambience is both cozy and bright at the same time. My wife and I love this restaurant.

Overall it's a solid place with a lovely menu. I personally didn't care for the mushroom croquettas. We were a group of 7 and also ordered the shrimp, beet salad, shishito peppers, and the albondingas and the tabla de jamon y Queso. I asked our waiter to hold the blue cheese from the board since I'm allergic and he got very confused by my request and didn't want to make any modifications to the board even though I am specifically allergic to bleu cheese. The food was delicious overall except the mushroom croquetas, my favorite was the albodingas and shrimp. The entire restaurant feels very different inside from before when it was the taco spot. They really did a nice job remodeling and decorating. I liked the drink especially the pink hibiscus lime vodka cocktail. Will be back to try more tapas!

Stopped here with a friend after having dinner down the street. We just really wanted to see Triana since we had not been there before. It's so nice. A contemporary no frills and kind of stark but clean place. Small tables. Nice bar area with booths and tables. They have a happy hour menu which is always a nice thing. Small plates and tapas are featured on the menus. We had one dish and wine / espresso. Service was very friendly. Not a stuffy pretentious place - very comfy. I will enjoy going back again.

Extensive renovations and remodeling last year; have resulted in a chic, comfortable venue. I went tonight during happy hour and stayed for live music. The staff were friendly and accomodating, and service was excellent. The tapas menu is extensive and varied; clearly I'll go back to try more. The happy hour is a bargain! Three different tapas at five dollars each, reduced prices on select beverages. Live music tonight was flamenco guitar by Joaquin Gallegos a top notch performer with amazing dexterity. Sound level throughout was good; on occasion a bit hard to hear the guitar. Conversations everywhere were certainly lively. I love the decor and lighting. Another jewel in the Albuquerque restaurant crown.

Very lovely restaurant! The inside has a couple seating area options, the main dining area or the bar. We chose to sit at a high top table in the bar area. It was cozy, welcoming, and warm. They offer some very tasty happy hour options from 4-6pm. We ordered everything on the food section for happy hour plus the shrimp from the regular menu. The presentation and the flavors were amazing! I look forward to going again and trying some more off the main menu.

Wow. I am so very impressed. I've been dying to come here and finally made it! Excellent atmosphere, great service, fabulous dishes. Every dish I got was made perfectly. I cannot wait to try this place again. Pro tip- happy hour 4-6p with $5 offers!!

Triana is very unique and a nice little taste of Spain. Its has a very intimate relaxed environment to easily enjoy conversations with friends or family. The food is over the top amazing! My sister from Fort Worth who enjoys lots of fine dining there was totally impressed by the quality of food. The staff is top notch and catered to our very need. the bartender, Ben, was especially pro and personally came by our table. If you eat out, you have to try this place!
