We love Cervantes! They have amazing New Mexican food. Whenever we visit our daughter at UNM we stop by and have a great family dinner. Got to love their combo plates and margaritas!

In Albuquerque first Fri of Balloon Fiesta. Have eaten at Cervantes off and on for over 20 years. This was the last time. Food good but not exceptional. Drinks good with large selection of tequela for the margaritas. We were a party of five. My wife and I split one entree as we were not too hungry.

When the bill came we were charged TWO extra plate charges and an 18% tip was added to the bill.

When I asked the manager on duty about TWO extra plate charges was told their charge was low ((most establishments of this level have NONE). That attitude does not deserve my business again, after being a customer for two plus decades!!!!

If you love great food with horribly poor service then this place is for you! Watch out for kyle b.

I'm a customer for over 30 years and have always had consistently great food and professional service at Cervantes. It's like eating at home without the work.
