This food was absolutely delicious. It has a great hole in the wall/diner atmosphere. Such great New Mexican flavors! Service was friendly too. Highly recommended.
True "New Mexican" food. Hole in the wall that you'd probably drive by if you weren't with a local. The blue corn enchiladas with the green chile is very tasty.
Always a great meal! The staff is friendly, some of them know our order by heart. This is a great no frills weekday dinner spot. Company always like it too.
I've never experienced red chile that was this good. Smothered over a burrito, this is one of the best red chile sauces in town, but it is rather scalding! The highlight was my server bringing freshly made tortillas to take home!
My fav. Duran's is my place of choice for New Mexican food. Anything with chicken in it is outstanding. Try the chicken enchiladas with red. Reasonably priced. Service ranges from outstanding to satisfactory. Have never had bad service. Have never had a meal I didn't throughly enjoy
Always Good. This place isn't going to wow you but it is consistently great.
I'm there every Saturday with my kids and the new Lucy burger (think I got that wrong) is terrific.
Good food, great service, great value. A rare find in Albuquerque.
PS: Please bring back the apple cake.
Go to New Mexican Restaurant. This is my favorite New Mexican restaurant. The service is always friendly and the food is very good. My favorite is theTortilla soup. The Carne Adovada burrito is a close second. This is a local hole in the wall that I highly recommend. They also have a nice Mexican beer selection. One caution, don't order a Margaritta, they are from a box and not very good. But since my preference is beer, not an issue for me!

Simple, straightforward. In every foodie's bag of tricks, there are the show-stoppers, the avoids, the regulars. Duran's is the fourth category -- that simple place that you pop in once in a while to have a solid, nicely priced meal. (I could see this being a "regular" for some, but my regulars are a bit more eccentric.)
Started out with chips and salsa -- chips were a nice rough corn composition, and the salsa was fresher and less spicy than most ABQ New Mexican food joints. For my meal, I had a breakfast burrito, with sausage and green chile; everything tasted just as it should (maybe a bit less spicy than natives might like, but just fine for my east coast palate).
As others have noted, service is friendly, informal, and attentive. I had the classic drink refill experience:
Waitress: "Would you like a refill?"
Me: "No, I'm OK."
(a short time later)
Busboy: "Here's a refill."
I *was* fine, but that level of attention was appreciated.
All in all, a nice neighborhood spot. You won't be blown away, but I don't expect you'll leave unsatisfied too often, either. If I'm in the uptown/midtown Menaul area and suddenly feel hungry, I know where I'm going.
My husband and I enjoy eating at Duran Station as often as we can. Their chicken tacos are fabulous...It is a Homey feeling place with friendly wait staff... would recomend again and again..
Good New Mexican food that's very underpriced.... Service a bit slow due but worth it... Red Chili good and almost Hot, green chile mild... Salsa is good and hot... Ordered Sopapillas and obvious the fry oil was bad..... But looked great and probably most people couldn't tell, but I could.... Still support Local, it's still a better casual eatery then most in town.....
This is a very warm and inviting space. The food options are excellent: the feature authentic New Mexican dishes and a great selection of wine, beer, and spirits. Location is easy to find, and the parking lot features easy access to the front door. Very convenient for those with mobility issues.
Holy smokes. Talk about a diamond in the rough. It's outside appearance and full parking lot are not one in the same. We stopped here for lunch on a recommendation from tiktok and we were not disappointed. I'm on a mission to try the green chile cheese fries from every place that offers them and between that and the tortillas I was in heaven. I will be back. That is a promise.
I'm a bit biased because I'm a HUGE fan of Duran's Pharmacy, so unfortunately, I compare them to each other. 🤦♀️ With that being said... it's definitely different, I know the two restaurant owners are within the same family. The food was good all around, and i can say it holds up to the others in town. The red chile was HOT, which was a win in my book. We had red chile blue corn enchiladas, and my niece had a cheeseburger that she raved about. The sopapillas were little pillows of goodness 🫶
Recommend by my boss, no wonder he loves it so much! Got the combination plate with Christmas. Delicious! Nice place, great atmosphere, and great service. We'll be back again.
Where do I begin…
Duran’s Station is homegrown New Mexican delicious, outstanding food and outstanding customer service is exemplary. This staff is polite and efficient at all times which is why we keep coming back over and over again. Not to mention we love the music they play on the stereo. The food really is though, outstanding and we have never had a bad meal or even a questionable one. , I am certain that they would go above and beyond to make it right if we did. If you’ve seen this place driving by or have heard the wonderful buzz, don’t wait any longer and put yourself out of misery from all of the other miserable places . There are a hand full of genuine NM food restaurants in this town and Duran’s is right up there with the very best.
Thanks Duran’s Station for setting the standard higher and delivering what customers expect. You guys ROCK!!!
The place is small, situated in an old fire station. Small but mighty. Excellent NM food. I LOVE the chicken enchiladas, but everything we have eaten here is excellent.
Can't go wrong.
What a gem!
Damn good food. This Iittle place has charm, and fantastic food! A sweet find. The staff are wonderful, attentive, friendly, and well organized for this busy eatery.
My new absolute fav for chopped green chile and the red chile! Good stuff! Their buttered Tortillas are thick and tasty. Their entrées are tasty, well proportioned (not too much)
Durans has great food!
Great service!
And is a great place for one, two, or more people.
We will be back for sure.

It was good. I'm still not quite sure how it is officially a Mexican restaurant. When we asked the server what the best dish is she suggested to get a hamburger! 😛
That being said, our server was very nice and the food we had was good. I don't think there was any egg in the chili relleno. It was not one of the best I've had.
Some of the best Mexican food in Albuquerque! I was in town for work and was set on finding some good Mexican food. This place was close to my hotel so decided to give them a try. I loved the green chili but do not pass up their red chile. It was the best I've ever tasted. Super friendly staff and great beer options.
Amazing New Mexican food! Will definately be coming back!! Sopapillas were hot and delicious!
