" I adore AJ's! For breakfast, I had a hearty carne adovada dish, and I could taste the love in every bite. The staff was incredibly friendly, making it a delightful experience. I do wish they accepted credit cards, though, especially since it's hard to keep cash on hand these days. Overall, highly recommend visiting this gem in Los Lunas! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had breakfast at AJ's, and it was a treat! The staff was welcoming, and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. The carne adovada burrito had a rich flavor, and I left feeling completely satisfied. A small drawback is the cash-only policy, which can be inconvenient, but I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone looking for genuine New Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" AJ's is a delight for any lover of New Mexican cuisine! My breakfast burrito was life-changing, with just the right amount of green chile. The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The cash-only policy is slightly annoying, but the food quality definitely makes up for that. I'll recommend AJ's to anyone who's in town; I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" AJ's is my go-to breakfast place whenever I'm in the area! Their red chile is simply the best and it pairs perfectly with any of their breakfast items. The portion sizes are fantastic, making it a great value for the price. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, ideal for families. Be prepared to bring cash, though, as they don't take cards, but that won’t stop me from coming back! " (*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*)
