Brad MaloneSeptember 3, 2015A place that has existed forever, the staff are friendly and work as a team in a way that I've rarely seen. When the place is busy, every customer is every staff person's responsibility. Great food.
Offbeat L.A.May 26, 2018Opened in 1962 by Monroe Sorenson. The original location at Rio Grande & Mountain was demolished for a hotel and the restaurant moved to Loma Blvd in 1975.
Michael O'RourkeJanuary 19, 2017I absolutely loved the food at Monroe's. Their enchiladas were amazing and the staff couldn't have been more friendly or welcoming to Albuquerque. The local beer was great as well!
- BeckyNovember 5, 2016super casual restaurant with really yummy food. recommendations: sopapillas with honey, christmas chicken enchiladas, indian taco (taco toppings on top of fry bread).
- Offbeat L.A.May 26, 2018This sign may have been moved from the original 1962 location, but I’m not sure. The restaurant was bought by Miguel & Kathy Diaz in 1976 and a second location opened in 1985 on Osuna Avenue.
Mark Neurohr-PierpaoliApril 5, 2015Try the Red Chile Cheese Dog, Onions - Red Chile Cheese Dog with Onions at Monroe's New Mexican Food, Albuquerque, NM (via @Foodspotting)
Gayla Reese WalshMay 19, 2022Recommend the chicken and carne adovada enchiladas. Skip the sopapilla dessert (not freshly made) and the margaritas (no hard liquor license, so they use wine). Have a beer instead.
Kadee WhiteMay 16, 2016The fajita quesadilla with beef and the taco fingers were nice. The chicken burrito was okay
Jesse VJuly 2, 2011For visiting NM expats like me, their stewed green chile is great and an easy way to bring the good stuff home.- Blue corn cheese enchilada platter with green or christmas, can't go wrong.
Jeff CdeBacaDecember 24, 2017I’ve been there multiple times throughout the years, food to me has always tasted bland. Not my style of NM food.
