    Everything about this experience was absolutely top notch, and I mean everything. The reservation and entry process was easy and fun. The entire staff was so friendly and committed to making the experience what you hoped for. The ambience was perfect, from the lighting, to the live music playing softly in the background. The drinks and food were nothing short of being spectacular and perfectly on point. Our host/waitress was so friendly, and attentive/on point, which made the entire experience. This place has the experience and quality down perfectly. Will absolutely be back every time we go through ABQ.

    Excellent food and service. A nice variety of apps and entrees, creatively done. We aren’t vegetarians but ordered vegetarian dishes because they looked so good on the menu. We were definitely not disappointed! Warm friendly attentive service from the hostess and server. A wonderful dining experience!

    My wife and I are currently on a cross-country road trip from Ontario to Palm Springs, California, with a two-night stop in Albuquerque, New Mexico. During our stay, we discovered High Noon Restaurant and Saloon while exploring local dining options. Impressed by its reviews, we chose it as one of our planned dinner spots—and it exceeded expectations. Our server, Michelle, provided outstanding service, rivaled only by the exceptional food. We both selected the San Felipe Burrito with chicken and enjoyed every flavorful bite. The restaurant’s ambiance, paired with the authentic New Mexican flavors, created an unforgettable dining experience. We highly recommend High Noon Restaurant and Saloon as a top choice for dinner in Albuquerque’s Old Town.
