Taqueria Alondra's Mexican Food

The food was bland. Was expecting new mexico chili and was disappointed with tomatillo sauce.

I can 't comment on the food, when the waitress asked if idI like anything to drink, I ordered a beer, and was promptly asked for my ID. Ok, it 's New Mexico, no problem, I smiled and handed her my Driver 's Liscence. I was told sorry, this isn 't valid. Thereis a hole punched in it because I renewed my DL 10 days ago and haven 't yet received the new one in the mail. I asked what wasthe purpose of checking my ID, my age? The hostess took over at that point and told me No we 're checking to see if it 's valid . Okay, thanks, I 'll go. There wasn 't any kind of altercation, but I could sense some hostility in the hostess 's atitude. Even though I 'm half Mexican, and my hair is black, (actually dark grey anymore)I generally pass for white due to my lightcomplexion and blue eyes and in today 's modern culture, being white is sometimes viewed very negatively. Anyway, I 'm 57 yearsold and probably old enough to be her grandfather. I probably wouldn 't have written this if I 'd been treated a little kinder. I found another restaurant nearby and was treated very well, I had a beer with my meal and enjoyed it very much. Afterordering, I had some time to check on the laws concerning ID checks in NM. NM state code 60-7B-5 states that anestablishment shall refuse to sell or serve alcoholic beverages to any person who is unable to produce an ID card AS EVIDENCETHAT HE OR OR SHE IS 21 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER . As I see it, the purpose of checking ID 's is for determing that a person isold enough. At 57, I really can 't pass myself off as a 20 year old. Clearly, I 'm more than old enough to purchase a drink and mypicture ID proves that. She implied that age doesnt matter. Maybe she 's right. Maybe she 's wrong. Anyway, only one star from me.The hospitality leaves much to be desired.

Best food around and wonderful staff! Love this place!

Visited today. Food is good, serving portions are good, beer prices are a little high. The waitress could be a little more friendly/ personable. Good service and a welcoming attitude is what drives your customers to return.

A little jewel hiding in the Old Town area. Awesome Mexican comfort food. You know you have found something when you order tamales and are not disappointed. Great food at a great price. The staff are friendly and the service had been spot on everytime. I make it a point to stop and eat here every time I'm in the area.
