Best Southwest American Restaurants in Los Ranchos

My wife and I are currently on a cross-country road trip from Ontario to Palm Springs, California, with a two-night stop in Albuquerque, New Mexico. During our stay, we discovered High Noon Restaurant and Saloon while exploring local dining options. Impressed by its reviews, we chose it as one of our planned dinner spots—and it exceeded expectations. Our server, Michelle, provided outstanding service, rivaled only by the exceptional food. We both selected the San Felipe Burrito with chicken and enjoyed every flavorful bite. The restaurant’s ambiance, paired with the authentic New Mexican flavors, created an unforgettable dining experience. We highly recommend High Noon Restaurant and Saloon as a top choice for dinner in Albuquerque’s Old Town.

A very pleasant dining experience, with great food enjoyed in a very serene, elegant and cosy dining room; where the servers were very attentive, but not intrusive, all at very good value for money.

This warm and relaxed little gem is clearly a labor of love centered around their passionate Chef and the impeccable team he has built. Genuinely welcoming and gracious, fine dining protocols without the stuffiness. This lovely team gave us a wonderful experience from start to finish and we are still talking about the food today. Our side room seating felt comfortable and festive with it's deep yellow walls, folk art chairs and thoughtful touches. The staff at Zacatlan are a lovely unified, professional and skilled team. They bring that rare cohesiveness that creates a specific atmosphere and energy that makes you want to come back. Our service was flawless and I'm always extra grateful to the people who work on holidays. Food is lovingly creative without being precious or contrived and executed with precision. We literally enjoyed every bite and are looking forward to supporting this local business treasure. As in, "Like Water for Chocolate," Chef Eduardo Rodriguez's food is the perfect example of good energy in the kitchen. Our beautiful Thanksgiving menu made every course a fabulous, torturously fun dilemma to make a choice and every choice delivered. I have no 'if onlies' to add. A completely wonderful experience. Go there soon and support our gifted Santa Fe restaurant culture.

We had a reservation for 6, we were seated right away. Drinks came out right away and we ordered food. Everything was delicious especially the red chili ribs and enchiladas. Our waitress was very good and efficient (wish I’d caught her name)

Very good food. Never disappoints! Beautiful restaurant
