Crema's Take
“Ramona's is a beloved Albuquerque institution where traditional New Mexican breakfast and brunch shine, from their standout red and green chile to homemade tamales and huevos rancheros that keep locals and visitors coming back. The family-friendly spot moves with genuine efficiency, getting you a satisfying, authentic meal in your lunch hour without sacrificing warmth or quality—the team here clearly takes pride in both their craft and their customers. It's the kind of place where homesick New Mexicans find comfort and newcomers discover why this cuisine is irreplaceable.”

Honest Reviews We had brunch and ordered the combo plate with enchiladas, tamale, relleno and a plate of the beef flautas. The enchilada was just a tortilla with a drizzle of red and relleno was with batter not tasty, the tamele was dry and small. The flautas were a decent size but not much flavor. The food was ok the servers were great and the restaurant was clean. Maybe an off day for the cook. Staff is attentive and helpful.
The pancakes were nicely made, huevos rancheros chili had some flavor perfect eggs, menudo needed more corn more flavor and didn't get the cabbage, told the waitress give us a while because we're gonna be talking and stuff you know eating chips, salsa, drinking coffee and she gave us the time that we needed. She didn't come by and bug very polite
We love Ramona’s for their food and also the wonderful team that works so hard to give you a great meal and experience. They are efficient and get you in and out during your limited lunch time but they are also ok if you want a leisurely meal. They check in on you periodically to make sure you don’t need anything and you are enjoying your meal. I cannot recommend Ramona’s more. Wonderful!
A local friend of mine recommended Ramona's for breakfast and it was amazing. Great food. Great service. Simple, tasteful and comfortable atmosphere. This was my second visit. The breakfast tamales and huevos rancheros came in an ample serving with numerous options and were delicious.
Wow this food was everything I needed. I am from Albuquerque, NM originally but I am currently living in Texas where this type of food definitely does not exist. The True Red and Green Chile can only be found here! The food was absolutely DELICIOUS! Fresh and home made! The customer service is unmatched! You NEED to come here! 100000/10000 recommended! Delicious, Delicious, DELICIOUS!
