I waited an hour to be seated on their semi-indoor patio only to be given a view of their hot water heater. I later learned this may have been the best part of the experience. It was cold but there was a heat lamp nearby...unfortunately it ran out of fuel within 15 minutes never to become hot again the rest of that night. But the food should be ...

The atmosphere was truly Old Town. The Grandmother who owns the restaurant is there all the and is truly Spanish. Maybe it was just us tourists, but we felt like we were eating in her casa. We were well treated by all the staff and these two Gringoes had all the help understanding Southwest cuisine we needed. If I moved to Albuquerque. I would eat there every day.I can't thank the Santo Domingan native who advised to go there enough.

Absolutely terrific fare!

Great atmosphere, excellent value, outstanding service.

Be sure to try it as many times as allows; each experience will be varied and well worth the effort.

We were in Albuquerque for a wedding and Church Street Cafe was recommended to us by locals. We had breakfast there our first morning in town and each morning thereafter. We also made it for dinner several times. Each visit we were seated promptly, the food was delicious and the service was unbeatable.
