Stufy’s Drive-Thru

The food here is good, most of the time, and there is a good variety, but having to wait for 35 minutes or more is unacceptable. There is no reason it should take so long, Stuffy’s has consistently had this problem for over a year, they just aren’t interested in making it any better.

I asked for a stuffed sopapilla and 3 rolled tacos to go. IT was very small and hardly any green chili, 1 small slice of bacon cut in half. They messed up my order and only gave me 2 rolled tacos and No I did not go back for it… The place is old and dirty. Now I know why there was not any other people there. I will NOT go there again. SUCKS

Stufys is a prime example of Divey delicious food. Is is bad for you or is it good for you? Who really knows. The food isn’t overly greasy or super processed like those fast food chains.
They now serve stuffed sopas from breakfast to lunch. Ive only had the stuffed sopapillas, taquitos, fries and their homemade natillas. They have several different choices for the sopas but I stick with the #7 potato, carne adovado, and cheese. It also comes with lettuce but i prefer it without. This location is the original one. There use to be 3 locations but after a fire it leaves this guy and on located in the NE heights. If your ever in ether part of town and want a quick tasty lunch stop by and enjoy or call ahead to take it with you.

I’ve come to this Stufy’s for years. I enjoy the workers as they are always friendly. I usually go through the drive thru but this time my sister and I decided to eat in. There wasn’t anyone else there so it was nice and quiet. The food was awesome and I always order the Stufy #1 with retried beans and red chile. I always add fried potatoes to give it an extra crunch and flavor profile. This was my first time back to Stufy’s in about 10 years and I was not disappointed. I definitely will not wait that long again to go back.

I have been coming to stufy’s since early 2000’s. I have made many special drives out of my way just to come here once I moved out of the north valley. The stuffed sopapillas are always big. Enough for an average appetite to feel satisfied. My favorite is the #7, carne adovada, sliced potatoes with the cheese and lettuce. But I have tried them all and they are all very tasty. I do prefer the red Chile to their green and sometimes the green has a slight taste that I feel like they maybe forgot to add chile and I have to search for it. But you can always ask for extra chile. For me, this is one of those small businesses that if it were to close down, I would literally have to shed some tears for. It’s very nostalgic for me to come here. The food still tastes the same every time, they haven’t changed the recipe since they opened I found out by talking with a worker. Speedy service, friendly. Drive through or sit down available

As a native New Mexican now living on the east coast, we make a point to stop at Stufys every time we come back. The sopapillas are so good, well worth the wait. The staff has always been pleasant and courteous. Yes, there is a bit of a wait, but that’s how you know it was made fresh. I love their sopapillas hot, just from the fryer. The #2 has always been my favorite and it didn’t disappoint.

This place has been a staple of Albuquerque for as long as I can remember. I don’t eat there too often but when I do, I have to say that although the food is very good and reasonably priced, the service is horrible. Every time I have gone there in the past I’m never greeted with a Hello or a thank you. So with that being said. I would recommend this business only because the food is good.

Live and direct from the North Valley: It’s my first time trying carne adovada in a Sopaipilla and I don’t regret it! Rich red chile, egg, seasoned meat, in a fluffy flour pouch sure makes for a great eat. Stufy’s is a small restaurant but the big tastes they serve are why I recommend eating here. Locals love it; I would try again to satisfy a New Mexican craving.

Great food #7 is my favorite, you wait a little while but you won’t regret it once you taste the food

The carne adovada and pork tamales are tasty, but guess what? I can get these items of equal taste and quality, or better, ten other places, within five minutes, and not wait in a ridiculously slow drive through line with unwarranted rude service.

So, yesterday, I drove thru, was promptly greeted and asked to hold. Two vehicles lined up behind me and waited. I waited. Two vehicles behind me left, and after 10 minutes waiting TO ORDER, I left.
Tried again today. Same prompt greeting, and asked to hold. Only had to wait 4 minutes today, but with one car in the lot and one car at the window, that’s too long. The order taker didn’t repeat my order, so surprise, it wasn’t right when it was given to me. I waited another 4 minutes for them to get it right. The new person at the window obviously hasn’t been properly trained and is costing them money.
BUT THE FOOD IS GREAT!!!
I’ll keep coming here even if lousy service has to be tolerated to get to those yummy #7s.

This location is the original, and it’s awesome. It’s your typical New Mexican place, service is slow sometimes but the food is made to order and delicious.
This place has breakfast, lunch, or dinner options and they’re all great. I love their tacos, taquitos, and stuffed sopas. My favorite option is the carne adovada, with potatoes and cheese. The chile has a great flavor, and it’s a filling meal.
It’s not the cleanest, nicest, biggest place you’ll visit. It’s kind of a hole in the wall but the food is awesome.

My first time here. Drove through for a quick lunch pick-​up. No wait in line, and no wait on the food. Affordable and filling. I had the #9 Stufy with refried beans, beef, green chile and cheese. The chile had good flavor and the serving was enough to fill me up until dinner. Way better than paying more for some chain «Mexican food» I’ve had before, that didn’t taste near as good as this. I’ll be back!

I usually like the guacamole tostadas and ok for a sloppy stuffed sopa but today I saw them make the tostada with no gloves and then take my money with the same hands not to mention they put to go food in styrofoam containers then stuck them in the microwave. Make sure if you eat here you are careful of the food prep or order your food minus the formaldehyde.

What is strange is that part of me wants to hate this place and I have no idea why. Likely because this has to be the most unhealthy place you could ever eat.
I have had it three times in the past three months, all at work.
It’s cheap New Mexican food, but it’s not bad.
The Stuffy 4 is good. It’s a stuffed sopaipilla, filled with a hamburger, potatoes and chile. It’s a sopaipilla burger. It’s good. Really. It is. The chile is good, as well. It is this sort of food that makes me wonder how on earth I am thin. It’s straight comfort food, New Mexican style.
The Dinner options are gigantic. They are all around 7 dollars and you will have food for tomorrow’s dinner, too. You would think the Rellenos would be bad from a little place like this, but they are actually… good. The dinner plates all come smothered in chile and cheese. I am not a fan of the tacos, though. The chicken was dry. Maybe next time I will try the beef.
It does hurt my heart that the posole is only served seasonally. I wish it was year round.
I can say that they are not always consistent. My coworkers have gotten salty beans or bland dishes before. Overall, though, it’s a not a bad place for a quick bite.
I cannot say anything about the service, because it’s picked up by my work.

Carne adovada is great! Love being able to get a great stuffed sopa on the go for next to nothing. :)

This place is tiny and gets pretty packed for their lunch rush. The food is no-​frills New Mexican and is pretty good. I ordered a Gorilla Burger because I wanted cheese, green chile, and all the fixins. That thing is HUGE and it comes with fries. It’s really good, but definitely overkill. Next time I’ll just add cheese to the regular burger. Their stuffed sopapillas are great – love the carne adovada and that they offer more gringo-​y options (like stuffed with hot dogs and hamburgers, etc.).
This is way outta the way for me, so I don’t go often and it’s very heavy food… but it’s good if you’re looking for something super casual and pretty tasty. The service was a bit odd, but no worries.

Love the food! Only bad part is it is kinda run down and dirty. Staff is sometimes nice. The staff can be very rude and I much rather go through the drive thru so I don’t have to deal with them for too long.

This was by far the worst food and service I have experienced at any restaurant. The cashier was sarcastic and rude. The food was made incorrectly and took over 30 minutes to prepare. When I complained about my order being wrong I was told, «it’s lunch time, what do you expect?». I will not return here.

The 5-​stars are for the Gorilla Burger!!! It’s truly a truly awesome burger and you can’t beat the price.
I’ve had several other items from the menu, and they were just OK, the Carne Adovada is pretty good to, but honestly the only thing I would ever order off the menu again is the Gorilla Burger.
The location is small, the service is slow, and the the overall dining experience is not that great, but the Gorilla Burger, yes it is GREAT.
A side note: I like the food at this location much better than the Juan Tabo location.

There are so many other places in Albuquerque to get really good green chili burgers that are cheap. The fries tasted like the freezer and the taco ordered was maybe a teaspoon of ground beef. The beef was mixed with beans, potatoes, and who knows what else as fillers.
I will not be going back here even though it’s one of the few restaraunts not to far from my house.

Love this place. I grew up with like 3 or 4 of these in town. There down to one or two of them around now, sad. I am a big fan of stuffed sopapillas. And stufys has a great selection, and on the cheap. my favorite is #8 but try all them, each one has a great new taste bud find. umm wish I had one close to my house.
