Duran Central Pharmacy

"Founded in 1942 and family owned for over 50 years! Popular hot spot with friendly and welcoming staff. The store is well curated, abundantly packed with an eclectic assortment of fun and local items to include clothing and jewellery. The Diner serving New Mexican staples has been open since the 1960’s. The waitstaff was friendly, helpful and clearly enjoyed their job. We had the Duran’s Style Huevos Rancheros with a buttered tortilla. The large portion consists of fluffy, boiled potatoes, two eggs cooked to your liking smothered in your choice of chile along with beans & topped with melted cheese. The green chile is flavorful with a bit of heat, you never can go wrong. The red chile was as bright as canned tomato sauce yet watered down and flavourless. The beans although cooked tender were consistent with recent reviews as watery. The fresh, flour tortillas are rolled on the thicker side and as large as a dinner plate. With a couple tweaks the meal would have been more enjoyable yet visiting Duran’s was a fun experience overall."

"What an interesting place! You have to walk through the pharmacy/clothing, card, giftware section to get to the restaurant. If you have to wait for a table, you can shop in their well curated store. The women’s clothing is fabulous. But back to the food. It’s New Mexican comfort food and we loved it. The staff are friendly and efficient and the food comes out quickly once you place your order. We will return to try more dishes."

"Amazing & authentic NM food. The red and green chile are so tasty! The gift shop is so much fun and full of so many items both handmade and retail. The pharmacy looks like it’s running well too, although we did not utilize this service. We grabbed some chocolates to-go and we are excited to try them, although they are pretty pricey at $5 a piece. Can’t wait to come back again in the future."

"My wife and I went to Duran’s after a doctor’s appointment downtown, because of proximity and our previous visits have been memorable. We were seated immediately and provided drinks with food orders taken quickly. Our waitress Joy was awesome. She recommended ChileQuiles w/Carne Adovado christmas sauses which I ordered and it was outstanding. My wife ordered Huevos rancheros and it was also amazing! The environment is always vibrant and busy, with tons of shopping in main area of the pharmacy. We love this place and will definitely return more often."
