If you want HOT authentic New Mexican food Perea's is the place to go. Always fresh and delicious. I usually go for the 1/2 order of the huevos but have had many other items. It's a small establishment but they're pretty fast. To-go ordering is available.

This little restaurant is a treasure. It's got limited hours (closes at 1:30) but the food is delicious. If you're craving excellent Mexican food, this is THE place to go. It's tiny so you may have to wait 10-15 minutes to be seated. Not a fancy destination...just really good food and friendly people.

The mission to find breakfast places continues, and Perea's got their turn. This unassuming place feels almost hidden from the traffic on Juan Tabo, yet the visible sign has caught our attention many times. The decor is simple and unequivocally New Mexican. A mix of young and seasoned patrons, couples, friends, and families filled the space. Our server was quite kind and helpful when choosing our plates. We got the huevos rancheros and adobada with an egg plates. The adobada tasted like home! The green chile was nice and spicy, and the red chile was powerful and spicier. Both plates needed a bit of salt for the flavors to pop and harmonize, and overall it was a nice experience that we would likely want to have again. Until next time!

We ate at Pereas last week. The location has ample parking with a handicap spot out front. The dining room was clean and well lit. The waitstaff were patient, knowledgeable about the menu, and quick. The food was outa sight with a northern New Mexico style not commonly found this far south of Santa Fe. I enjoyed a beef stuffed sopilla with red chile. The sopapilla was perfectly tender and crispy at the same time. The red sauce was rich in body and flavor with a chimayo vibe. Just spicy enough without being overly hot. The huevos rancheros that Sarah had was equally exceptional with everything on the plate made to perfection.Quick personable service and great food. Definitely going back for some more of this authentically delicious food.

Great food! Hot chile! Great service! My only complaint is that it's really loud. Still my favorite breakfast in Albuquerque.

Go where the locals go. I had asked last night where I needed to go for breakfast and this is one of the two spots I was told not to miss in ABQ. Sunday morning was busy but a table for one opened up after about 15 minutes. Warmly greeted by my waitress who brought a menu and coffee. I chose the Huevos Rancheros and selected both red *and* green chile. It didn't take long before it arrived. While it doesn't photograph well, it was absolutely delicious. A big portion with two fried eggs hash browns, tortilla and shredded cheese. A meal worthy of a ranch hand indeed. [Review 21079 overall - 126 in New Mexico - 42 of 2024.]
