Old Town Alburquerque, Albuquerque

We asked and were told about a good Mexican food restaurant in old town Albuquerque. We thought we'd try it. We are a family of 5 and it was a little pricey. My son and I shared a meal and my wife and one of my daughters shared a meal. So you'd think we would get out fairly cheap. We ate our chips/salsa and finished our drinks before our meal arrived. The waiter walked by our table a couple of times and completely ignored us and the empty glasses/bowls. We placed them at the end of the table to make them all more visible to the waiter. We were still ignored like we didn't even exist. I got up and went over to the waiter and asked if we could have some refills of pop/chips/salsa. He said, "sure". When we got our ticket, we had been charged for every REFILL. Our bill was over $50 which I complained about. We ate at 3/4 Mexican food restaurants and all charged for refills. It isn't like that in Oklahoma, ANYWHERE that I know of!!! I'LL NEVER EAT MEXICAN FOOD AGAIN IN New Mexico without making sure that there are free refills.

Family and I have return for 2yrs. just a nice place to tour...shopping is great if you love southwest but, not many dinning areas you can make the best of it.

I love coming to old town, it has many items to choose from, its a fantastic place to come and browse and also eat! Very good selection of resturants to pick, I love Old Town at night, its to beautiful, I will be coming again to visit, and I am sure I will have a great time!

We stopped by there for one night. Old town was fun, it's different from the rest of the city. The shops were fun to look at. We would go back there when we get a chance.

it was amazing seeing all of the things that the natives have made and just the overall culture. people of all ages would love it try to go in the spring time.

I visited on a Saturday and the music in the center of Old Town was wonderful.The food was great and there were lots of friendly people around.

We really enjoyed walking around looking in the different shops. And when you are at Old Town make sure to stop and eat at Church Street Cafe. Being from Texas we eat and I cook alot of mexican food, but the mexican food is much lighter then what we eat here...

The charm of Old Town is unparalled. You could spend days there shopping, dining and just taking in the whole Native American experience. I absolutely loved it. I've been there 3 times and can't wait to go back again. Pam O. Minneapolis, MN

The parking is horrible and it was way too crowded. Many of the shops were over priced and we were able to get a better deal in Santa Fe. We took the "Ghost" tour and found it to be okay. the guide was hard to hear and wasn't very knowledgeable about the paranormal outside of the script that she had obviously memorized. it got boring towards the end.

Being an avid fan of ghost tours i was very excited to return to Old Town to take the ghost tour again. However, things have changed allot in three years. The original ghost tour company is no longer there. There was another ghost tour but it was very lame. The guides claimed to be "Ghost Hunters" but had no working knowledge of things that your typical "Ghosthunting 101" website would cover. Paranormal enthusiasts can see right through that kind of act. The stories are not the same and sound like they have been exaggerated or even made up. Fortunately, the Church Street Cafe is still there and I was able to have some great New Mexican Style food the following evening.
