My first stop in ABQ and the free salsa was well and truly spicy, like actually challenged me and I love spicy food. The rellenos were also the best rellenos I had while in town, the batter was fluffy and the peppers were juicy. 5 stars
Really tasty. Some of the best Mexican food I've had in a long time!
I like simple when it comes to nachos... and the nachos at Duran’s Station were perfect! The nachos come with melted shredded cheese, pinto beans, and jalapenos. I also tried their hamburger steak plate with fried potatoes. I’m not a fan of steam potatoes so I’m glad they have options. And their red chile is so tasty! Some of the best I’ve had in town. I know Duran’s Central Pharmacy is talked about more, but in my opinion, Duran’s Station better.
Very nice authentic New Mexican food. Fritto pie for 11?! It's good food and very nice staff and owner they assemble plates right in front of you very clean amd tasty. Portions are not a two pounds of rice and beans ! But priced reasonably, good quality amd atmosphere. I enjoyed going there and will go again. You see a picture with empty seat? Yeah good luck with that ! It's always packed and better catch it a bit off rush hours. Hope you enjoy it.
Friendly staff. Everyone looked to be working as a close team. Food prepped quickly for a to go order. Dishes being served looked delicious.
We had the blue corn flat enchiladas with beef. Extra red chili. It was quite enjoyable!
We really enjoyed our dinner here! It was our first time in ABQ and we knew we had to try New Mexican food right away. I got a cheese enchilada and chile relleno, both of which were delicious. The red sauce has just the right amount of spice. Our waitress was also very kind and the service was quick, which was nice because we were in a rush to get to an event, otherwise we would have stayed and enjoyed longer!
Had an amazing #GreenChiliCheeseburger, served fresh, hot, and with a smile - during the height of lunch rush. Staff is beyond accommodating and truly shows interest in making every customer happy. Busy as it was, I didn't have to "ask for a refill". It's not 5 Star cuisine*, but if you rather have a great burger and a smile (*instead of 100 for scallops) - Duran's Station IS the spot! PS, couldn't resist a sopapilla too!
