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.

We had a reservation for 6, we were seated right away. Drinks came out right away and we ordered food. Everything was delicious especially the red chili ribs and enchiladas. Our waitress was very good and efficient (wish I’d caught her name)
