" Decided to try AJ's after reading reviews online, and I'm so glad I did! Their huevos rancheros are a must-order. The combination of red and green chile was exquisite. The staff was friendly, even though they were quite busy. It was a little cramped, but it added to the charm. I do wish they accepted cards for easier payment, but I'll carry cash next time for sure. Overall, a lovely experience, and I’ll be back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my family to AJ's after hearing the hype and were not disappointed! They were busy, and service took a bit longer than expected, but that was because the food is freshly made. We loved the carne adovada burritos that tasted just like my grandma used to make. The atmosphere felt homey and invited conversations among diners. Just remember to bring cash! Will definitely return for more hearty New Mexican meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" Being a lover of New Mexican cuisine, finding AJ's was like discovering a hidden gem. My first visit was during a brisk winter morning, and I was treated to the best huevos rancheros I've ever had. The red chile was perfectly spiced and not overwhelming. The atmosphere was cozy, just ideal for a family breakfast or a quiet solo meal. The only downside was that I had to wait a bit for my food because they were busy. Overall, a fantastic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" On of the best places for breakfast in Los Lunas! I’ve been coming back to AJ’s for years, and the food has always been delicious. Today, I had the carne adovada, and it was savory with a good kick. The staff are warm and welcoming. The only downside is they do not accept cards, but that won’t deter me from going because the food is just that good! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the most delicious breakfast at AJ's! Loved their carne adovada tacos—just divine. The service was speedy and cheerful, making the experience enjoyable. They only accept cash, which is a downside, but I don't mind it for food this good! I'll definitely be back to try out even more from their extensive menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried AJ's for the first time for breakfast and loved it! The huevos rancheros were divine; the combination of red and green sauce was just perfect! Great service from the staff, who were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The only minor issue was finding parking, but it's a small price to pay for such delicious food. Will definitely return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" AJ's Restaurant is a hidden jewel specializing in authentic New Mexican cuisine. I enjoyed the carne adovada, which was flavorful and had a perfect amount of spice. The staff were friendly but a bit overwhelmed since it was busy; however, they were attentive. There was a cozy feel in the restaurant, and it’s a great family place. Just a heads-up that it’s cash only! " (*Curated Review*)
