“ Tomasita's in Albuquerque? Alright, because I know the one in Santa Fe is delish! I've had the opportunity to visit the Albuquerque location a handful of times. I will admit, I wasn't as smitten with it as the Santa Fe locale, but, it's growing on me. I have yet to find that dish that I want to order every time, buuuuuuuuut, I have tried a few different plates. My top two right now are the Randy Travis plate and the Flauta Plate. The pork chops on the Randy Travis always hit, and the Flautas are practically mini fried burritos! You can't go wrong with those. Be prepared because the servings are healthy! You can share if you are feeling peckish rather than hungry. Save room for the sopapillas because they come with every plate. Have them traditionally with honey, but they do offer a butter in the basket too! It's a busy place like most New Mexican fare can be for us, so you can expect a wait during busy hours and season, but they seem to pretty fast. ”
“ So I've heard of Tomasita's for years especially with their Santa Fe location. I believe the Albuquerque location opened around 2017. I visit Albuquerque often, but had never gone. Today was the day and it was good New Mexican. I got the menudo and a side of carne adovada. The chile is a little spicy and flavorful. The place was well laid out and used to be a steak joint years ago. My large party got a variety of food and everyone seemed to enjoyed their meals. The service was very good and our server was fast, friendly. If you're in Albuquerque and wanting New Mexican cuisine this should be in the conversation. ”
“ I sat at the bar and ordered the stuffed Sopapillas with Christmas sauce aka red and green, the famous swirl margarita and some chips with guacamole. The New Mexican food was flavorful and delicious and the service was excellent. You know Tomasitas was good because there was a line out the door the whole time I was there. The restaurant hit all my needs great food, great service and great prices ”
“ Came here based on a recommendation from a local friend cuz we were looking for the local flavor. Enjoyed our meal and the lively ambiance. Good selection on the menu. Attentive service even on a busy Tuesday night. Ample parking in front. Tried something I never had before: the sopaipilla filled with grilled vegetables ”
“ Great service after they took our big table of 10 without any warning- sorry about that! Our server was efficient and knowledgeable and friendly despite being very busy with us and our demanding crew! My first time having New Mexican food and boy was it delicious! I got the Tuesday plate of mixed items. The chile relleno was my favorite but ALL of it was so good. Not too spicy for my palate and the chile sauces were excellent! The cheese used for melting made the dishes savory, comforting and special! I loved everything and could not stop eating until I was completely stuffed and still had extra. The portions were amazing and the Sopapillas served with honey butter and honey were spectacular and something I will crave for a long time. I want to come back to try everything!! Thanks Tomasita's for a great work dinner experience! ”
“ An essential New Mexican element is having your favorite New Mexican restaurant. When it comes down to it, outside of the breakfast spots that are absolutely amazing, my go to dinner spot is Tomasitas. There are a few reasons why I choose them over other favorites. The main two are they have the best sopapillas around and their margaritas are unbelievable. I specifically love the swirl. You can only have one, but it is so good. I mean, you can have two, but I've never been able to have more than one. Some of the other elements aren't as notable, their beans could totally use some work for example. But really I like the food overall, everything from the stuffed sopas to the flautas, it's solid. ”
“ Celebrating Tomasitas 50th year anniversary :) Mariachis, music, drinks, food, prizes and more! ”
“ New Mexican food at its finest. Tomasita's never disappoints. From the first day I walked in those doors all the way to today it's the super highway to New Mexican deliciousness. At this point it's basically become an Albuquerque staple for me. The staff is phenomenal! The service is amazing. They take care of you from start to finish! This time around I decided to explore the menu and try the flautas. My jaw dropped when I discovered the size of those bad boys! I took my first bite it had the perfect amount of crunch and the savory juicy chicken inside had me screaming for more. All I know is a blinked and it was gone. Of course you know I added the sour cream and the creamy guacamole! These guys make a such a great guac! Not to mention the epic sopapillas they come with! Alright I'm just gonna come out and say it, I freaking love this place! Honestly if you're a local, or even just traveling through and you've never been here, I highly recommend it! For good food and a classy vibe, this is the place! 10 outta 10! It goes without saying, you know I'll be back! ”
