Reviews for Cocina Azul in Albuquerque, NM

My partner and I were looking for a breakfast spot to try that we haven?t been to so we decided to come here today. We were... warmly welcomed and seated right away. We ordered the avocado toast and the bacon and eggs. I was not a fan of the avocadotoast. It didn?t taste like fresh avocado, it tasted more like guacamole. It didn?t taste like fresh guacamole and we came hereat opening hour. My partner didn?t enjoy the bacon and felt it wasn?t fresh. The red chili was not hot. The service was greatand the ambiance was beautiful. The bill was $24 for two breakfast items. We didn?t order any drinks or get salsa. I wouldn?tcome back for breakfast. I might come back to try the lunch or the cocktail menu. Read more

The service was enough but not above and beyond. A pretty mediocre experience but they were also likely a little busier as the... Balloon Fiesta was happening and I doubt they are used to this many people at 9 AM. The food was ok but certainly nothingspecial. New Mexican food can easily be found that would be better. Read more

Greeted, seated, and served by José, who was friendly, prompt, and professional. I ordered the chicken fried steak and it was... excellent. The only criticism would be the hashbrowns were lukewarm. The eggs were perfect for my requested over easy. Toast washuge and tasty, the chicken fried steak was superb with the green chilie chicken gravy highly recommend! Finished off with thepineapple upside-down cake which was good, though maybe not great; served hot against the cold ice cream which was delightful. Read more

So many people rant and rave about this place so I thought I'd try it out....Definitely a no, if you've had New Mexican food... anywhere else then this place is not for you, it's not even mexican food, it's what people who have never had mexican food intheir life would think was mexican food. The "salsa" was like a red chile sauce that you'd put on a burrito or enchiladas, itwas like they thought they did something, but really it was flop. The service was absolutely noteworthy in probably all the badways possible. Our waiter would answer our questions over his shoulder as he was walking off. He never offered more water orreally checked on us. The green chile stew was ok enough, but The street tacos were just steak on a tortilla, not marinated, notanything special. If you're in the mood for something delicious and cozy place to eat, this is not it. Save your time, save yourmoney. Read more

Wow the red salsa is HOT!! A little warning would have been nice. Still very good salsa all together. Entree came out. We both... got "street tacos" yummy. They give you 6 and you really only need 3. We took a full meal home. I expected to get sopapillasor at least asked if we wanted dessert. We didn't but still would have been nice to be asked. Food was good, not excellent butgood. Service was ok. If you found this review helpful please let me know by clicking "helpful"... It helps my feelings. Thanks. Read more

Absolutely delicious food. I inadvertently visited on Taco Tuesday and was delighted to discover their normally $3.50 ala cart... tacos were only $2.00 I ordered two ribeye, one pulled pork and one brisket taco along with a side of refried beans and a chipsand guac side. It was delicious and worth every penny. Read more

Amazing breakfast. Staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was on another level. The pancakes delicious nice light... crunch then a soft warm interior. The coffee and teas are locally purchased and very good. Atmosphere is very comfortable. 5stars I will make this my first option for breakfast from now on. The fresh greens with the hash browns a delightful surprise.Everyone must try this place. Can't wait for dinner and lunch options. Great job everyone there!!! Read more
