Garcia's Kitchen - The Original

"Garcia’s Kitchen was my very first stop after arriving in Albuquerque and what a perfect welcome to New Mexico! This local, family-owned gem gave me an incredible first taste of New Mexican cuisine. Loved the carne adovada. The food was spicy, flavorful, and comforting in the best way possible. The service was also top-notch, Lesly super fast and incredibly attentive. You can tell this restaurant is run with heart and pride. I’m so glad I started my trip here and I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in town. Highly recommend for anyone wanting an authentic local experience!"

"Garcia’s kitchen was recommended to us by a local shop merchant in old town. Plenty of seating, the service was prompt, breakfast was the best we’ve had in Albuquerque. Coffee was mild to strong, Pint of chili without beans add carne adovada with tortilla, outstanding. I also had Garcia’s famous breakfast with Christmas sauce it was Fabulous, amazing, and just the right amount of plate. Not too spicy, very flavorful. Four people, four waters, one coffee, four meals added up to $54.60 before tip."

"Gina our sevice was great...she was polite and kept our drinks full. The young man who came and checked on us was great also. Give this a 10 star for great food and awesome customer service. I recommend this place"

"First time here today and I really enjoyed my meal. Both the red and green chile were tasty, had it on eggs and potatoes with beans and a tortilla. The restaurant was mostly empty as I arrived before 11 on a Friday, so service was fast and it was quiet. It did get busy as I was leaving. This is another one of those places that charges for chips and salsa. I still don’t get why they do this. My server was efficient but not all that friendly. Probably not a big deal for most but I prefer places that make me feel welcome."

"Best quesadilla I have had in a very long time and large serving size for an appetizer. The queso and guacamole were delicious. Very casual atmosphere. Great for lunch."
