Evelyn's Bowl of Posole
I love eating here! The food is always fantastic. The service is great. :) I am in love with it all. Yum!!!
Chicken Fried Steak Eggs
This is my absolute favorite meal of all time, from any restaurant, ever!!! The chicken fried steak is battered to perfection and tender enough to cut with a fork. They have several sauce choices to pour on top of it, but I love the creamy green chile gravy the best. The hashbrowns are buttery & crispy and the eggs are always consistently perfect. The toast or tortilla on the side is an added bonus that completes the amazing meal. You can find many pictures of mine shared on social media of this delicious dish because I order it so often.

My honey and I visit the Holly location regularly, it's "our spot" đ Staff members are always so pleasant! We have tried almost everything on their menu, they cook with love, everything is tender & juicy and full of bursting flavors! Their salsa's and chile's are to die for! Perfect kick to it!

With Faith & Hopeđ we will together get through this.đ #oneabq

Enchilada Cheese Casserole
The green Chile chicken enchiladas are amazing!
Huevos Rancheros
Best huevos rancheros plate! I got "Christmas" (red & green chile) and both had great flavor, the red was slightly hotter. Love their tortillas too. Great service as well!
Creamy Chicken Enchilada Plate
My husband loves this dish. It is a large portion, and comes with rice and beans. It is not overly spicy, so people with milder tastes should enjoy it.
Huevos Rancheros
Every single item we ordered was absolutely awesome and delicious. If I had to point to one thing in particular that stood out to everyone, I'd have to say Try The Queso! It is by far the absolute best we've had in Albuquerque, and it even comes in a fried tortilla bowl and homemade chips. We even got a tub to go. This is what you stock up on in a crisis.
Huevos Rancheros
I'm super picky about my huevos rancheros and this is my favorite! Lots of fond memories of eating and talking and eating and talking at this fun little nook of a restaurant. I have a lot of favorites from their menu and have never had a meal I didn't love. Staff is super friendly and we always enjoy our selves.

Adrian's Chile Con Queso
Best queso in town! I've made it my mission to taste queso at every restaurant I can find in ABQ and this one wins first place. It's the perfect mixture of chile and cheese. đŻ
Franky's Tortilla Burger
This was a pickup order, which also included the green chicken enchiladas, the wife's enchiladas were good. My tortilla burger was dry and the girl upfront promised the bacon was in it this time. Got home and of course it wasn't. That is twice that happened. They always mess up my burger. But the other items are good.
Combination Plate
I am native New Mexican and I KNOW good NM food. I have patronized Cocina Azul for many years because of the authenticity of their chile and great menu. I ordered GrubHub today and my boyfriend and I ordered the combo plate. It was ridiculously, amazing. The tamale was full of meat and the masa was flavorful and not overpowering. The relleno was cooked to perfection and not mushy, the chile pepper was firm and had a great flavor (must be from Hatch). The enchilada and taco were spot on. We had green and red chile sides and I ended up stealing both from my BF for my plate. Keep up the good work and we are proud to support local businesses like this. -Mil gracias! Marisa y Jeremiah
Huevos Rancheros
I stopped by to place an order to go for their wonderful huevos rancheros on Wednesday, May 27, but no one was wearing a mask - not the lady working the cash register and not the server who came out from the kitchen carrying a plate of food to a man seated at the bar (who may have been a worker on a lunch break eating lunch?). I left.
Shrimp Tacos
I have been desperate for some Baja Mexican food after moving to Albuquerque from Las Vegas, Nevada, and this dish would be the bestseller on any California beach. Best shrimp tacos I have ever had! Try adding some of the super spicy salsa into the sauce that comes with the tacos and you'll be in heaven. I am so glad to have found this restaurant! If you are a West Coast transplant looking for the type of Mexican food you grew up on, look no further!
Carne Adovada Plate
Best Carne Adovada I have had in a long time! That's my test for a good restaurant, and Cocina Azul is the best!
Grilled Chicken Taco
I had this dish on Cinco de mayo and even though they were REALLY busy, the quality did not suffer. These tacos were delicious! I absolutely loved them! Chicken, cheese, lettuce and tomatoes on small corn tortillas. They hit the spot!
Ribeye Taco Plate
The Ribeye Tacos are to die for. Picked up curbside, fast and courteous service..Make sure you tip them good!!!!
Brisket Relleno Plate
This is the best brisket plate in town. I love it but I always get the same thing because I know I won't be disappointed. that is a problem because I want to try every else on the menu because it all looks so good. Oh, oh , the green Chile stew rocks. !
Creamy Green Chili Chicken Soup
We love Cocina Azul! We have eaten at all locations. We got their COVID family pack which was yummy and a great value. Their chile is spicy but has great flavor. Fun twists on New Mexican classics.
Adrian's Chile Con Queso

Creamy Green Chili Chicken Soup
This is an amazing bowl of soup. I order it again and again and I never seen to get enough.
Creamy Chicken Enchilada Plate
Salty very Salty, if you have high blood pressure re-think this food. Staff not too sharp, they didn't answer the phone and when they do they place you on hold for an extended period of time. I asked for green chili enchilada with a flour tortilla on the side, well I got the enchilada made with a flour tortilla!! Ugh I wouldn't complain but this very salty flour tortilla enchilada cost me $20!!!!!!!!!! I will NOT be returning to this location !!!!
Cheese Enchilada Plate
I always visit this location. They are always attentive, courteous and the good is consistently delicious. I have ordered a variety of items from their menu and I am never disappointed. I will continue to visit this location and now during thus difficult time we are all experiencing, I will order take-out. We are all just trying to keep our heads above water. Please, when you are looking for authentic, delicious New Mexican cuisine, order from Cocina Azul.
Emma's Taco Burger Plate
Cocina Azul makes the best burger in town. The beef is high quality, lean, and flavorful. I love the combination on taco shells sauce, lettuce and tomato. The menu features a lot of other things I'd like to try. So far, the Emma's Taco Burger Plate always wins.
Ribeye Taco Plate
