Garduño's Of Mexico Cantina At Old Town

This was one of the few restaurants still open when I arrived on a late-night flight. The food was great. Thank you for being available!

The taco salad was disappointing. It lacked flavor and had so little meat that I felt like I was paying $14 for just a salad.

A fantastic place to visit with reasonable prices and high-quality food!

I made the mistake to invite some of my coworkers to lunch at Garduños. We did not order anything crazy, there were three taco combos four adult drinks and three non-alcoholic drinks. However, my check was $103.06. I thought it was soooo high!!! After tipping the server 15% my check ended up at $118.06. One of my co-workers noticed that Garduños had already tipped the server 23%. The consumtion was only $77.85, which sounds reasonable but Garduños tipped, without my conent, 23%. The server conveniently ommited that he had already been tipped, and there was no posting anywhere in the restaurant or on the menu, so I almos tipped again. This is a total rip off!!! There is no wonder why Garduños has closed most of its restaurants. I will never go back there!!!!

We arrived at Garduño's about 7pm to eat dinner, as guests of the Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town. There was nobody at the host stand and had to wait for someone to notice us to be seated. The restaurant had other diners present besides us but seemed to lack any sort of management. One of the employees was busy sweeping and mopping, even though it was still the middle of dinner service and was even sweeping under other diners' tables. Two of the glasses we were served were dirty and had things floating in them. The guacamole was made with avocados that were not ripe. Even though our waitress was very nice and the restaurant wasn't busy, it took a long time to get our drinks from the bar. With the unfortunate dining experience we decided to avoid the restaurant for the remainder of our stay.
