Padillas Mexican Kitchen - Albuquerque

We stopped here while driving through Albuquerque, NM and got a craving for great Mexican food. The place is just a bit off the freeway but it’s super clean, the service is outstanding and as expected, the food is amazingly good. I ordered a Chicken Enchilada (breaking my vegetarian diet) mostly because it sounded good and most all of the menu items contain meat. The food came quickly and the waiter told us to try the Sopapillas with honey. It’s worth the stop just for those. Don’t miss this place!

Unbelievably delicious food. Reasonable prices and generous portions! First time having New Mexican cuisine and it was excellent. Would certainly go back if in the area!

Five stars is not enough! The food is absolutely amazing. Very fair price. Staff was super friendly. If a place is cash only today you know something is going on and it definitely does not disappoint. The enchiladas were great and the #1 combo was so good my mouth is watering writing this review a day later.

Good, no frills NM food! Service is always quick and friendly. We’ve never had a problem placing a to-go order. It is good but not the best NM food in the whole city however, to be fair, there is a lot of competition. The chile could be spicier and a bit more flavorful. But if you’re looking for good prices, decent portion sizes, and to support a local family owned restaurant, this is your place. Seems like there are a lot of regulars. Keep in mind-they only accept cash so be prepared! This is something to remember since most of us in the younger generations don’t generally carry cash.

Absolutely the best beef burrito I've ever had! Quesadilla was served open faced (which was weird, but my son loved it and I know I will have to serve them to him this way from now on). Fresh chips and salsa, reasonable drink prices, and healthy servings. Rice and beans were outstanding too! My dinner came with a basket of sopapillas and those were a HIT! Douse those bad boys in honey and DEVOUR! Staff came up regularly to chat and mingle... And made recommendations for what to get. If you want family style New Mexican food with TONS of flavor, do not miss out on this place! Side Note this place is CASH only. There is weird little red ATM box out front that is empty, so I had to end up running to a gas station to get enough to cover the meal and tip. Even with that, I'd do it the same a hundred times over. Absolutely fantastic!!!
