Best Filipino Restaurant in Albuquerque

Jenna

If you haven’t tried Filipino food in Albuquerque yet, let this be your sign 👀🇵🇭 We just had our first experience and WOW — everything was incredible. The atmosphere was bright and welcoming, and the people there were so kind and made us feel right at home. The food? Easily top 10. The sisig was flavorful and hearty, ... the garlic steak was cooked perfectly with onions, and the garlic rice portions were generous. The lumpia were super crispy and crunchy (a must!), and the pork lunch special with jalapeños, garlic, and a fried egg on top was seriously next level 🤤🔥 Plus, the cabbage on the side balanced everything out perfectly. They do NOT skimp on portions — you’ll leave full and happy! Highly recommend checking them out and supporting them, especially since they may be moving into a restaurant soon. I already can’t wait to come back with family and friends 🙌✨❤️ Read More

If you’re in Albuquerque and haven’t tried Barkadas ABQ yet, you’re seriously missing out. The ube cookies were SO delicious, perfectly sweet and soft, I could’ve eaten a whole box! You have to try the lumpias too! Crispy, flavorful, and honestly some of the best I’ve had. The adobo chicken was also really good, ... super comforting and packed with flavor. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to. I highly recommend checking this place out if you want amazing Filipino food! Read More

If you haven’t been to Barkadas in Albuquerque yet, you’re seriously missing out! This gem blends authentic Filipino flavors with a unique Southwest twist, and it just works! The owner pours her heart into every dish—she’s not only incredibly friendly, but also runs things with impressive efficiency. You feel ... welcomed the moment you walk in, like you’re part of the family. The food? Absolutely incredible :) The flavors are bold, comforting, and unforgettable! You truly can’t go wrong, but the lumpias and gyozas are a must—perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. And the best part? Everything is priced so reasonably for the quality you’re getting. You can tell her secret ingredient is love, and it shows in how she serves both her food and her community. Highly recommend supporting this amazing local spot—you won’t regret it! Read More
