The wait was a bit long for what my family and I ordered but really was delicious. We ordered fish + chips and taquitos, and
I found myself surprised at how good everything tasted.
Fresh food prepared by ta talented chef is worth the wait !

Loved this restaurant, the food was delicious and prices were not astronomical like I was afraid of. The family loved getting to watch all the beautiful fish while we ate. Would definitely visit again!

Cannot believe this place exists in Albuquerque! The atmosphere is reminiscent of the restaurant in EPCOT (Disney World)'s The Seas aquarium pavilion that sells out of reservations 6 months in advance. Truly amazing design to have this cafe on the backside of the aquarium's marquee exhibit.
The food was good. We really enjoyed the green chile burger stack, tho our fries were woefully overcooked. Oh well, though, still easily a 5-star experience. And very neat touch with the robot food-runner, too. 100% pencil this place in for lunch if you're in town visiting.

It is kind of spendy but the food is actually pretty good and the view of the shark tank is amazing.

The food was so good! And so was the service!
My niece treated the six of us to food and drinks. She got lavender hard cider for herself and I got the banana strawberry smoothie. Both hit the spot! She ordered fried chicken strips and French fries, and a burger sliders’ sundae with French fries for the table. Everything was freshly cooked and exceptional.
A few other drinks were ordered - a Shark attack and mango lemonade for the young ones. They were sweet! And refreshing! I wish I had taken photos. Everything looked as great as it tasted.

The food was better than I expected. I had the burger and my wife's salad looked great. The lemonades were delicious. My daughter absolutely lost it over the tank. I think this is a must for young kids if you are going to eat at the park.

Best father's day gift for my husband. We had So much fun and it was a slow sunday so we had the place to ourselves. We throughly enjoyed the watermelon Sandia Hard Cider. Wouldn't have even known about it as the cashier never mentioned drinks. But my husband spotted it on the way to the table. I wouldn't put someone afraid to make money on a register.

Quite pricey but absolutely beautiful. The cashiers should communicate more when it comes to what they have to offer. We found the sandia hard cider on our own after placing our orders.

I had the best grilled cheese ever! It had the optional grilled onions and tomato in it which made it extra good. I loved being able to sit and eat in front of the aquarium.

Lunch here is not just for Bio Park Aquarium visitors. The Shark Reef Cafe has spectacular cuisine. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. My hamburger was seasoned to perfection and dressed beautifully with dill pickle boards, tomato slice and green leaf lettuce. The homemade chips we're a lovely addition to round out the plate. My partner had fish and chips (which he didn't share) he said we're crispy to perfection. Our compliments to the chef: the humble ginger we met on our way out. Oh, and you have to try the green sauce and cheese fries!
