Tomasita's Albuquerque New Mexican Restaurant - Mexican restaurant in Albuquerque - 4949 Pan American Fwy NE, USA

The food was tasty but very spicy. We ordered the super combination plate and we got the Tuesday Atrisco plate. The Atrisco plate was good so I can't complain about the food. Just be careful about the food they bring out. As a side note when you do hit something spicy it will light your mouth on fire. The sopa that they gave with dinner is very tasty and with the honey is a great dessert after your meal.

We’ve been to Tomasita’s more than once. We are disappointed every time and I’m unsure why we keep giving them a chance. I think the biggest issue is that we are pescatarian. Vegetarian or pescatarian options are EXTREMELY limited. Some chefs do a really fine job of providing offerings on a traditional menu that are tasty and well worth the price, not Tomasita’s. We had their chips and salsa which, unlike practically every other restaurant on the planet, are not complimentary. The disappointment starts there, as they are consistently overdone. We ordered the vegetable enchiladas as our main. The pinto beans were just okay, I’m not a fan of their Spanish rice so only ate a bite and the enchilada itself was really bad. The high-moisture vegetables used make for a liquid filling, there was very little cheese and the amount of green chili (which I actually love) was overwhelming and had to be scraped off. Neither of us felt there was anything appealing. The enchiladas seemed to be a warm corn tortilla with filling slapped on and another tortilla slapped on top with cheese and chile. These ingredients weren’t cooked together like a real enchilada and were sorely lacking. The sopapillas are adequate but are served with the good, so are cold when you eat them which significantly diminishes their appeal. Unfortunately, we’ve given them their last chance and we won’t be back.

Wonderful atmosphere and great service! Our food was fantastic, very generous portions and the price is right!!! The sopapillas are huge and tasty! We had the Tortilla Soup and Chicken Quesadillas- superb! Definitely on our list for many returns.

Our server was very nice and our food came out fairly fast. The portions are good and the price is hard to beat. That being said, the food was very bland. We tried the tamales, the enchilada, and tacos. The flavor was just… basic. The sauce covering the tamales was spicy but not in a flavorful way. It just tasted like straight heat. I rarely leave food on my plate, but I ended up finishing maybe half of the plate. I don’t think I’m unique in this opinion. The table next to our’s also left behind a good amount of food behind as well.

I am so happy there is an Albuquerque location now! The food is SO good! The green chile has a nice bite to it and the blue corn enchis are a nice touch. Don’t miss the sopapilla with the sweet honey butter, it is to die for. The bartender Hailey and the tall guy were great company and fun to talk with.

Tomasitas is New Mexico! Recommend to out-of-towners all the time! Love both locations- Santa Fe and Albuquerque - same to me. Wonderful family-owned business. All dishes are delicious. Recommend it all- salad and Hamburgers included. Can't wait to go back! Update11/1: the chile was so hot and good!

My wife and I came back to Albuquerque and wanted some authentic New Mexican cuisine. We were not disappointed. I ordered the roast beef burrito with green chile, and she ordered chile rellenos. Both dishes came out hot, served on Fiestaware platters, with so much food that we were challenged to finish our entrees. To top it off, they served our lunch with fresh, hot, large sopapillas. They were fluffy pillows of goodness that finished our meal with panache.

This place is amazing!! I wish we had one where we live. The food was great. The waiter Nate was very proficient and nice. Would recommend to anyone in Albuquerque.
