" This diner is a hidden gem! I am originally from New Mexico and this place reminds me of home. The sopapillas are a must-try; they're fluffy and sweet, particularly when dipped in honey. I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portions. The staff was friendly, making the experience even better. Just be aware that the location is tucked away a bit, but worth the search! I’ll be coming back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally tried Cafe 66 based on the reviews. I expected great things and they delivered. The adovada was succulent and full of flavor, and the tortillas were freshly made. They do need to update some things around the diner, but overall, I was impressed with the food quality. If you’re in the area, I recommend checking it out! " (*Curated Review*)

The service staff were attentive and friendly, making the overall experience enjoyable. I didn't notice any specific issues with ambiance as I was enthralled with my food. It's well worth a visit for anyone who's in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I really cannot say enough good things about Cafe 66. The food is consistently delicious - I always order the enchilada plate! The level of authenticity is unmatched here. I've also noticed the waitstaff is friendly and very attentive. The atmosphere is comforting, reminiscent of a classic diner, but it is a bit worn. Regardless, the food makes it worth it. I highly recommend it to anyone passing through Albuquerque. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Cafe 66 was delightful. They serve some of the best New Mexican food in the area! I had the menudo, which was rich and flavorful, and their potatoes were excellent. The service was quick, and our server was very attentive. The only downside was the restroom, which seemed a bit outdated. Other than that, it was a great visit, and I will definitely return.
