After spending the morning at Meow Wolf, we went to the Flying Tortilla for lunch. We all had their lunch special, which today was a Navaho taco. Two of us had the ground beef version and one of us had the chicken version. The fry bread component was very good which is a significant part of a Navaho taco. We enjoyed both the beef and chicken version. The service provided to us was excellent. Diner atmosphere.

Really nice little place. Had tire issues so walked over from Discount tires. Great staff, seated right away. Spouse ordered the chicken tacos - wow, really good. I got the Chipotle Chicken wings, spicy, smokey and full of flavor. Good atmosphere, comfortable seating and super clean restrooms!! If you are in the area, this place is definitely worth a visit.

It's been a while since we have been to the Flying Tortilla Cafe, and we were pleasantly surprised with the great improvements. The dining room has been renovated and brightened. It's really warm and inviting. Staff is friendly and the prices are very reasonable. I enjoyed a blue corn piñon pancake that was packed with buttery piñon nuts. My husband had the Denver omelette that was so big, he took half home to enjoy the next day. We also enjoyed the artwork on the walls and the cheerful music. A great experience!

We stopped in after a while on the road because it was close to our hotel. The friendliest wait staff! They made room for us on the patio even though it wasn't open yet for the season so we could bring our dog, and we're all just so nice and attentive. We had some drinks and the dip trio. It was good, but I think their specialty is breakfast. Would return.

I was so hungry I forgot to take photos! So sorry. But know that all four of us cleaned our plates. Chicken enchilada with green chile, ground beef enchiladas with red chile, carne asada plate and the brisket plate all had just the right amount of heat. The staff were helpful and very attentive. As luck would have it, we came on Thursday night, the night a Mariachi band performed. They were amazing. We had a delicious dinner AND a wonderful show.

We really enjoyed our brunch here! The pancakes are amazing, Corned beef was very good (of course there has to be avocado and chu Lula involved for me)! The biscuit was very hard but they replaced it with a very delicious replacement biscuit, and the gravy had GREAT flavor! There was no wait, very casual and very attentive staff! We would definitely recommend having breakfast/brunch here! Seriously. Try the pancakes!

We stopped in on the way out of town at the flying tortilla. It was our first time. The place was a bit slow, but they were also closing early for the 4th. My husband and I scanned the menu and I chose the flying T burger smothered in red Chile. My husband chose the tortilla burger smothered in Christmas. They both lacked salt, but the portions were very fair for the price. The fries were super crispy on the outside and soft on the inside which we really enjoy. We wished our server had come by to serve us more ice tea, but that did not happen. Our food did come out quick. We can say we tried this restaurant, we probably will not be back as we have other favorites that rank higher.

I like to try NM restaurants that I have never been to before while visiting "home". Met an old high school friend here for dinner around 6pm on Saturday. We were the first customers and were quite shocked as everyone must've been out shopping or didn't want to be out due to the cold weather. Service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. As for the food, it wasn't bad but it wasn't excellent either. Portion sizes were very generous though. I ordered a stuffed sopaipilla with ground beef and red chile. There was too much ground beef and not enough red chile so it was somewhat dry. The chile was rather bland and it was not spicy at all. One friend ordered the chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes with country gravy and veggies. My other friend ordered huevos rancheros and both said their plates were ok but lacking flavor. One of my friends and I had their house agave margaritas but there was nothing special about them and didn't have a "kick" to it. As for the dining area, plenty of seating and very open and airy, which I liked. Plenty of parking as well.
