Plaza Café De Taos - Albuquerque

This restaurant is permanently CLOSED! However, the open table was still active.

LIke with homemade Mexican food back from my friend's house when I was a kid. Great to have them in downtown.

Lunch at this small café ended a beautiful day, a rare opportunity to leave the house and an exhibition at the ABQ Museum. This café is located near the 400 block of Gold SW Downtown. The owner/sole server was characterized by telling me about the recommended parking spaces near the construction. He was friendly, personal and we were in good hands. The ambience can leave much to wish because the restaurant consists of a wonderfully smelling kitchen and about three or four physically distant tables in the lobby of a large office, but the food was quite delicious. The corn chips as well as the taco shells seem to be fried fresh in oil, and you could also try a combination plate that can contain some Bueno branded tamals, roasted chicken and/or Savory cow. All in all, it was a good experience. The server/owner wears a mask, and he is attentive to meeting a good conversation with his guests. I hope the café can survive the pandemic.

A great little hidden gem! I couldn't recommend it more, amazing food and super affordable. It's a small business that's just kicking off, so don't expect to be in and out in 15 minutes, but enjoy a nice time with amazing food and great service!

My experience here was good. My wife and I went in for a Valentines Day weekend lunch. We had a good four course lunch. It was nice that the chief gave us so much food for a very good price. I really enjoyed the Mexican plate. My wife had the salmon and that was also good. The restaurant was cold but perhaps it was due to the severe winter storm weather. The chief was good enough to set up a space heater for us next to our dining table. The music which was on was relaxing and entertaining. We enjoyed ourselves at Plaza de Taos Cafe and would definitely return.
