Combination Plate
Wow! Can't decide what to order? Get the combination plate! It is a delicious spread with a taste of everything, including a taco, tamale, enchilada, and chili relleno. I got both sauces, green and red, the best of both worlds. You also get two sides, and I chose to the pozole and rice. The pozole is stewed to perfection and the chili is so rich. The rice has a nice flavor and accompanied the rest of the dishes so well. This plate truly does not disappoint!

The Chicken Relleno plate was tremendous beyond expectation! I was a little skeptical at first considering I had never tried a "Chicken Relleno". The flavors blend extremely well, and anyone should give it a try!

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.

Steak Ranchero Eggs
Loved the steak ranchero with eggs. Good any time of day
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. 😉

Creamy Chicken Enchilada Plate
We ordered the family meal twice. One with red beef enchiladas, the other one with green chile chicken enchiladas. Rice, beans, chips and salsa were included. This is by far the best salsa in town. The enchiladas were amazing. We loved everything and will go back to order more dishes. I also like the fact that the family meal is a great deal. The staff is so nice and welcoming. We highly recommend this locations and awesome food.
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!!!
Huevos Rancheros
Awesome breakfast! The familiar flavors remind me of the homecooked meals that I grew up with, when my family would gather to share a meal for parties and special occasions. The eggs, chile, and beans are all classic New Mexican comfort foods. Cocina Azul has great recipes, generous portions, and reasonable prices. I will definitely be coming back to order this again! I also like their soups, salads, and burritos, but the huevos rancheros stand out as especially hearty!
Combination Plate
Fancy New Mexican food that is more than a pretty plate! The combination plate was fantastic. Beautiful presentation that tasted absolutely delicious. Generous portions and excellent chips and salsa. The variety of sides is a bonus. We will definitely be back!
Tacos
We work next door at the salon so we order food all the time, we are there just about every Tuesday for the $2 Taco Tuesday special. The tacos come packed with meat and flavor!
Carne Adovada Eggs
The best carne adovada in town!

Emma's Taco Burger Plate
You just can't beat the quality of food Cocina Azul serves! The Taco Burger plate reminds me of my childhood..mom would make the taco burgers with American cheese just like they do. For a real treat add Franks queso-the best in town!
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. 💯
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!
