My wife has often met friends here for years and always raves. This was my first visit with her. I was singularly impressed. I grew up in Abq and yet never went here. They are THE BEST NM/Southwest food I have ever had!! Sorry Monroe's, Sadie's: give up, El Pinto: good when mom and dad were alive but the boys have ruined everything! BARELAS is sublime! Daily homemade dishes. Best Tortillas for the side: thick, soft & chewy, delicious. Excellent Carne Adobada, addictive Red & Green Chile. While many places do eggs well, the over easy eggs were the best prepared I have had in years. I am excited to go back and try everything from their menu! I will be eating here OFTEN!

An epic breakfast. Barelas is a cultural icon and they should be considering it for a World Heritage Site. This is the best breakfast in Albuquerque, new Mexico and perhaps the world. Excellent, considerate and attentive service as always and a friendly, casual atmosphere. The breakfast itself packs a nice heat and depth and combines nicely with their home made flour tortilla to clean up. Once you have finished your breakfast I recommend a visit to the nearby shop The Man’s Hat Shop - ignore the title, all are welcome. Once this is complete you will have the world at your feet. You are ready for a great day. Enjoy

Barela’s is such a delightful find!! I will come here any morning I’m in the area. I was seated in the lovely sunroom and had good, quick service courtesy of Julia! It’s a little loud/echoey in there but just makes it feel like you’re at a big family gathering. Homey. The food was excellent - carne adovada with eggs was the flavor-explosion, melt on your mouth kind of New Mexican food one dreams of. Eggs perfectly cooked, green and red chile packed full of flavor but not too spicy to overpower the rest of the dish, and a soft fluffy fresh homemade tortilla to balance the meal. Hash browns perfectly crispy. Diner coffee to boot. I love this place, so glad to have found it. Will be back!
