Clean place, clean eating, very savory spices. There is something to be said about a place that can provide spicy chile with a savory flavor. I usually refrain from eating meat because of how processed it tends to taste, however here the meat tastes fresh and not overcooked.

Cócteles de camarones are one of my favorite indulgences. IMHO, those from Cafe Delicias are perfect. They're a bit sweet, whereas other places tend towards spicy. Filled with nicely sized shrimp, cucumbers, and other tasty treats, I like to crumble up the chips they bring with their flavorful salsa and then eat the juice soaked chips along with the shrimp. They have a complete Mexican menu from breakfast to dinner. And the decor inside is beautiful!

This is our go-to for authentic Mexican food. Family-friendly and kid-approved!! The environment is festive and you'll leave satisfied!

Delicias is a good name for this restaurant.   I like the food and it couldn't have prettier seating which you'll see in the photos.  Chips and salsa come with the meal. So does a yummy vegetable, beef, and rice soup. I've never had that at a Mexican restaurant before.  I went today with a friend. We each got the Wednesday Special of 3 Tacos (chicken,  shredded beef, or ground beef) for $12.  It also came with rice and beans.  The salad was just a little shredded lettuce on top.  If you order the exact same thing on a different day without the Special, it would be $15.29 so I think it is a good deal.  I ordered one chicken and two ground beef.  The chicken taco was better.  The waitress was very nice and did a good job. The only thing I would change is that the prices, other than the Specials, are on the high side. Still, I'll be back many times.

The DELICIAS CAFE is almost hidden in a small shopping center at San Mateo and Osuna NE, but the authentic Mexican food is consistently fantastic for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The atmosphere is colorful and feels like you are visiting Mexico. You can see the open kitchen supercharged with busy cooks and rushing servers. Everything we ordered was delivered quickly and steaming hot from the kitchen - really great service! The food is amazing! The Deshebrada Plate was filled with grilled shredded beef, tomatoes, onions and jalapenos, and it was delightful, especially topped with eggs. The Enchiladas Suizas came with 3 enchiladas (chicken, in this case), rice, refried beans, and a side salad - everything was super tasty. The Enchiladas Verdes (with beef, rice, beans and egg) was equally mouthwatering, as was the side of beef stew (Caldo de Res) which had just the right balance of spices. And the Combo Plate of 2 Beef Flautas, Ground Beef Taco and Ground Beef Gordita was absolutely mind-blowing! Even the breakfast pancakes are large and thick, absolutely yummy with butter and syrup. Portions are quite big, and prices very reasonable. Very highly recommended.

Came for their Menudo and Pozole! Besides Juani's, this is the only other place I know in the city that serves BOTH pozole and menudo. Cute decor inside with plenty of seating! Gotta go back to try more breakfast items! So far Delicias and Juani's has good menudo in ABQ. I haven't tried El dorado yet!

Loved this place for breakfast!! Best we've had in Albuquerque. It is pricey for mexican food. Decor and booths were very colorful and fun to look at. Enchiladas Montadas ($14.54) - 2 eggs atop 3 enchiladas. Eggs were coked perfectly and oozed out all over the enchiladas....heaven! Huevos Divorciados ($13.24) - 2 eggs atop corn tortillas red and green sauce. Served with a corn chorizo quesadilla. Delicious!! Chips and salsa were so good we purchased some to go. Service was good but my wife did speak in spanish. I could see some reviews mentioned language barriers. We will be back!
