    I loved the street quesadillas. The flan was good, but more cheesecake- like than the usual.

    I always enjoy dining at Herencia! Our server was so friendly and professional and food top-notch. Great to have a high quality Mexican food restaurant along with so many New Mexican food restaurants in ABQ.

    In a state where "Mexican" food is distinguished by "New Mexican" food Herencia stands out for its exceptional menu that coalesces both. The chicken mole is as good as any you'll find in a grandmother's kitchen in Mexico! Service by Augustin was outstanding. The very friendly owner dropped by to ensure that we were satisfied with dinner. All in all, a very good restaurant that is far above the average fare at just about every other southwestern or Mexican food restaurant in Albuquerque. Herencia offers sophisticated food like none other in the area.,

    The service was great- except waiting long between each interaction, the longest wait was for the check. It was almost empty when we were there so I'm not sure why the long wait times. The food was not great. Very bland foods and some items were soggy (like the chicken). Due to the bland foods, the variety of proteins tasted similar to one another. We ordered a variety of foods as that was our first time visiting. Lots of flies if dining outside. Again, the hostess and our waiter were very kind and respectful.

    Absolutely delicious Mexican food. Loved the homemade tortillas and dip as appetizers. Vegetables and poblano rice that came with the entrees were delicious - above the usual at other restaurants. Service was pretty quick. Prices very reasonable. One of our party loved that not only did they serve non-alcoholic beer, but ALSO had a N/A gluten-free beer! A definite plus.

    As always, service was excellent and food was delicious. Menu is always slightly different but the lobster enchiladas are reliably good.
