Cervantes Restaurant & Lounge

Truly the best Carne Adovada I have ever had, and I've had tons. This is the only place I will go when I visit ABQ in the future. What a find! Oh and the red chili is to die for as well .

Always get the blue corn with red either chicken or shredded beef . A regular stop for us and there is no equal in the city ! Tough service this day but food was still epic!

The red chile isn't for the faint if heart. I got the chile rellenos dinner . Big green chiles stuffed w/ cheese then deep fried & covered w/ your choice of chile. You really can't go wrong here. 👍

The Adovada Burrito is outstanding. Get it smothered in red. Not hot in my book but who's to say? Beyond great, any way you look at it. Good margs and sopapillas too!

Best Dive Decor ... And the food is good too! Bathroom is WAY too small though, but at least it's clean !!! Get a drink and enjoy good NEW Mexican food :-)

Carne adovada w red! Not for timid palate! Delicious, though. Salsa is GREAT w a smoky bite! Will be back.

Carne Adovada Burrito is excellent

Classic New Mexican cuisine . I suggest the carne adovada

Red, stacked, cheese enchiladas with an egg on top.

Wait staff was kind of slow for how busy it was. Food is top notch though. Haven't had any better New Mexican food .

Try the silver coin margaritas ! You won't be disappointed :)

Great food, excellent prickly pear margaritas . :-)

South of the border is a great meal

Let's call the decor...interesting. Looks like they decorate for everything. There's a Valentine's tree ...
