Ricas Gorditas Vale: Authentic Mexican Comfort Food in Albuquerque

The food is so good!! The gorditas with meat and red chili/green chili are bomb!! Delicious, warm, soft, and full of meat and not just potatoes! The restaurant is not well maintained and it's difficult to eat and smell fabuloso at the same time (we are outside). Must try even if it's to go!!

You'll have an entire experience when you visit. I chose to try a variety of gorditas rather than a typical entree with sides and boy was that a great move! Our lovely server gave delicious recommendations for pollo, chicharrones, barbacoa, and mole. They offer so many flavor combinations that I must go back to try more!

The first time I ever had a gordita was here, and I fell in love. Whenever I visit family in Albuquerque I always stop here. Muchos gracias!

The food here is delicious and the servers are very responsive.

Excellent and affordable. Great services and taste!

Some friends new how much I like food especially real deal authentic and so they took me here and I was not disappointed one bit! Pictures in this review is the carnage asada plate which as THREE steaks, rice, beans, cheesy baked potato, fried jalapenos served with salsa and corn tortillas. It was so good! They have a small menu but I tried a bit of everything we all ordered and everything so so yum! Go check out this whole in the wall that's packed with flavor!

I didn't wanna cook today for myself or my family, so I stopped to get some gorditas de harina, they are a nice size, good flavor especially the al pasto and picadillo, also try the red chile gorditas they're good. The lady took her time to take my order but was friendly and polite, it took about 15 to 20minutes to get my order ready, but you can call ahead if you wish to. I order 14 gorditas and it was a little bit more than $60.00

So good we ate there twice in one day - bkft was spicy quac on porkchops with eggs over medium and tator tots and then supper we had Lunes Enchiladas $5.99 for 4 amazing enchiladas rice and beans!
