Ay Mi Mexico Restaurant — Restaurant in Albuquerque

My folks were here last night and the restaurant helped me do them a kindness. I wanted to show my appreciation, so I went in for lunch today. A lot of you had good things to say about this place on my last post so I was excited to get in here. I was impressed. Even the chips & salsa were above expectations. The salsa has a great garlic flavor up front and a delicious, lingering heat. The chips and thicker than average. I had some simple street tacos, asada, pollo & al pastor. The al pastor was my favorite, but they were all good and heavier than your average street tacos. Hot sauce was a delicious option. I'm happy to recommend this place on the basis of the food alone, but I also got to meet the owner today. You will not find a bigger sweetheart than this lady. (I'm a horrible person and forgot her name) She took care of my folks for me and made sure I had a great meal too. Customer for life.

There's a lot of heart and a lot of flavor packed into this little restaurant. Definitely...

Not sure why this place has a 4.5 rating. The salsa that comes with the chips has a strong garlic flavor and not much else. Chips also come with nacho cheese. Ordered the shrimp ceviche, it was ok, the shrimp looked raw. My friend ordered shrimp veracruzana and I ordered bistec ranchero, but asked for ranchero beans over refried. The beans were ok, the steak ranchero was a slop of tomato soupy based broth with small chunks of charred meat. All of it was flavorless. I asked if the meat was precooked and thrown together, but she said everything was made fresh. That's debateable. I came here as I'm in town for the night on business and met a friend for lunch. I honestly wouldn't spend...

My husband and I stopped in Albuquerque overnight on our way to Arizona and found this great little place. The woman was very friendly the moment we walked in and helped us with the same kind, quick service. Our food, which was Triple(steak, chicken and shrimp)Fajitas and Asada tacos were delicious and authentic Mexican. Which is what we're used to being Hispanic ourselves. The salsa and chips were homemade and really good. And my iced tea was a little bit too strong and I only asked for water, but instead and she took it off our bill. Great customer service and great food. Highly recommend in a town with lots of Mexican restaurants! We may go back in for...
