Barelas Coffee House

Really great tasting food! Also prompt, friendly service and a pleasant, casual atmosphere like the coffee shops/diners of old. Literally some if the best, freshest salsa and green chile in town!

I expected more tasty food, since many have recommended this restaurant as a local legend. It was ok, but the chicharrons plate recommended by the waiter was fairly inedible. It was supposedly pork, but later I found out that it is pork rind and fat fried until very done, and so it was just not good. The beans were decent. The actual restaurant was nice inside, and I enjoyed the local flair, but will have to think twice about returning for the food. Sorry :-(

This place gets a 5 due to my wife. I was thinking 4, but she says her cappuccino was on point, and abobada was the best she's ever had. I made her a red convert too, as she was going go green (she's never ate in New Mexico!)

Mine was ok, I dunno what that hamburger pictured was supposed to be. The coffee was decent, nothing to write home about.

I can't remember what day I went in but I didn't have to wait to be seated, I ordered food right away and it was delicious! The service is excellent! My waitress was very nice and attentive. I will be going back!
