Indian Pueblo Cultural Center

What an absolutely wonderful gem of a museum in Albuquerque! Exhibits are all thoughtfully done and educational. Well worth the time. Don't forget to eat there - excellent food but very limited vegan options. Their gift store has a great variety of items at prices that fit all budgets.

Nice museum dedicated to the history, culture, and arts of the Pueblo Indians. It was enriching and full of history that I was not familiar with. Very insightful...self-guided for $12, gift shop, and restaurant serving authentic cuisine.

Great museum. I loved the details of the architecture and design of the Pueblo Nation. The whole feel of the museum is honoring the Pueblo people, their culture, and art. Plenty of interactives for kids and adults alike. And while you are there try a fruit pie from the cafe. I had a peach and took a cherry to go.

This is a marvelous experience. The staff are wonderful people. The exhibits were very interesting and engaging. The on site restaurant was also excellent. We enjoyed watching the dancing exhibitions. This is a must see!

This was such a beautiful place to visit. The admission cost was cery reasonable and the let you take pictures. The staff was nice and I loved learning about the struggles and culture of the Pueblo people. I hate that we were not able to see the cultural dance. That would have been the cherry on top. I would definitely go again. The souvenir was a little pricey, but I understand why.

Excellent restaurant inside the center with friendly servers! The Monte Cristo with fry bread is 😋 so good. Husband enjoyed his Indian Taco. Highly reccomend! We did not have time to visit the museum but hope to in the future next time we travel through to visit family.

We went and it was a great experience. You can buy your tickets online too! There is so much to look at and learn. There's the permanent exhibit which covers how the Pueblos are made, life in the Pueblo and the unfortunate events that happened over the years due to outsiders. There is also a changing exhibit that currently talks about architecture. If you go on a weekend you'll even see the dancers. It changes so if you join as a member you can see multiple groups perform. There is also a large gift shop and a kitchen that serves delicious food.

They allowed the Peer Summit 2025 to be held here. They were polite, and accommodating and we had the privilege of having the youth dancers perform. The food was excellent creating a symphony of flavors. Thank you

This was our first trip to Albuquerque. We really enjoyed our visit to this unique center! We lucked out -- as we walked in there was a docent led tour starting. We found this to be immensely helpful as the guide (Camille) added so much more than we would have understood from just walking through on our own. As avid museum goers, we found this center to be among the best to get an overview of the culture and history of the Pueblos. Also, there is a lovely cafe/restaurant with great food and a wonderful gift shop with authentic native American jewelry etc.

Verry nice place. Super clean and well maintained. Good coffee and a nice place overall

This place far exceeded my expectations. This was my first stop in NM. I had a lot of time to kill while I waited for my friends to arrive, so I came here. The museum does the most amazing job explaining & showing you Pueblo culture from the past-present. I've never seen anyone be so informative, giving, & welcoming to foreigners. I was blown away by their history, knowledge of their land, art, & culture. Looking at the displays was breathtaking. So much beauty & amazing details. I happened to be in town during GON & they had a lot of things going on outside. After touring the museum, I walk out & there are Acoma Pueblo, Navajo, & Apache child dancers showing us their regalia & doing ceremonial dances. It was beyond beautiful. I was in awe. Plus the singers/announcers explained what their dances meant, what their regalia meant, & edge dancers introduced themselves & spoke in their native language. Then there were Pueblo artists around the outside with their arts & crafts for sale. The very first vendor I spoke to (Colleen Chino) was so sweet, she was Acoma Pueblo & had the most beautiful pottery. Having just learned about Pueblo pottery in the museum, & coming outside seeing their modern day pottery was AMAZING. She was so sweet, proud& happy to show you her art & how it's created, told me how to get to her Pueblo & that I have to enjoy the state. She was such a sweetheart & was so funny. As I walked around the vendor tables I was pleasantly surprised by the amazing detail in the art & how it reflected what I saw in their museum displays & far exceeded what I was already amazed by. Thank you so much to everyone who works & came out to the cultural center. This place truly won my heart & was an amazing experience. Not to mention the restaurant attached to it (I ate here thrice while in town). Thank you Pueblo people, The Apache's, & Navajo for showcasing your peoples culture & talent. I had a once in a lifetime experience.

The cultural center was so enriching and full of history that you may not be familiar with. It was pretty insightful and I loved learning all of the history this place had to offer. When you're there really take the time to soak it all in and learn things you may not be aware of. Once you go outside, you'll see a few local vendors to shop from. All hand made items. All in all a very cool and insightful place worthy of a visit!

This museum was so interesting to visit. It really is unlike any other museums I've ever been to for a couple of reasons. I wish that they had traditional performances on the weekdays as well, I think it would definitely have added to my experience. Here are some of my observations: - I don't think I've ever been to a museum where the descriptions were written in first-person format. It felt like there was a lot of ownership of the museum. - I wish I got the chance to also eat the Pueblo food, I think it would have made the experience more immersive. - This is a weird thing to say but I think my favorite exhibit was the exhibit where they showcased the local Pueblo school kid artwork. I thought it was so funny the price that was tacked onto each of the artwork because it was determined by each child. Special shout-out to the child who said his artwork can be sold for $12.99, it's such a supermarket price haha. Overall, a good museum to visit if in Albuquerque. Would recommend coming on a weekend to watch the cultural performances and eating at the museum restaurant.

The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center offers a truly enriching and educational experience. This wonderful museum allows visitors to embark on a self-guided tour, delving into the rich history of the various tribes in New Mexico. One of the most striking exhibits featured recordings of the languages spoken by many of the tribes. Listening to these unique and ancient languages evokes a sense of reverence for the tribes that have called this land home for centuries, as well as those that continue to thrive here today. It's a powerful reminder of the deep cultural roots that run through New Mexico. The museum's exhibits are well-curated and informative, providing a comprehensive overview of the history, traditions, and art of the Pueblo people. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to answer questions and provide additional insights. Whether you're a local or a visitor to Albuquerque, the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center is a must-see destination. It offers a rare opportunity to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the indigenous tribes that have shaped New Mexico's identity. This museum is a true gem, and I highly recommend setting aside a few hours to fully immerse yourself in all that it has to offer.

Things Will Work Out Indian Owned and operated by the 19 Indian Pueblos of New Mexico, this +10k-sq-ft Museum/Cultural Center/Performance Venue opened in 1976 to showcase and educate visitors and locals alike about the culture and history--both good and bad--of the Pueblo People. The Good: *Lots of amazing artifacts and art to discover. *Extremely inexpensive at $12/adult & $10/kids (w/ additional discounts for seniors and veterans) for what you get. *Native craft makers selling their wares in and around the museum. *Restaurant (Indian Pueblo Kitchen) that features Native American cuisine. *If you see an older gentleman (sorry, I forgot his name) about to give a (free) tour, I highly recommend you take it. He gives lots of amazing info, even if he does go a little long on some things. *Native music and dancing every Sat & Sun (11 a.m. & 2 p.m.) and some Fridays (check their calendar of events on their website). *Rotating exhibits *Terrific gift shop The Meh: *The restaurant was just OK, but that's a review for another day and another Yelp page. :) The Ugly: *Grumpy Gus 12-year-old who bemoans going to museums because it "feels like I'm in school." -_- TLDR: Fantastic place to visit and get your learn on while visiting Albuquerque. Highly recommended.

When we first got to the Center, we saw the Turtle painted on the wall, next to the parking. It was beautiful! After paying for one New Mexico resident ($10) and 2 Seniors ($8 each), we joined a Mural tour outside. The one mural the tour operator was describing was by Helen Hardin. He asked about the faces in the mural - 6 faces, singing & providing music for dancing men. He suggested Googling her to learn more about her. Before moving on to the next mural, it was too cold outside so we went inside. Inside, I liked looking at all the fetishes in individual small display cases - especially the Pelican with a fish in its mouth. In one room, we looked at a Pueblo. Around it, we saw the many ways the Pueblo people used every bit of hunted animals and harvested vegetation. We watched videos of dances. We liked the exhibits featuring pottery, and a touch screen explaining each way it was made by each artist. In another room was a display about making drums and moccasins. We sat and listened for a bit to greetings and stories of different Pueblo families in their languages, north to west of Sandia. We walked through a hands on exhibit, with magnetic pictures to use in 4 seasons. It had tables and chairs & books for young ones. Next to it, in another room, we saw where little ones could build a Pueblo. In a small alcove, we listened to storytellers. One section concentrated on the Spanish forcing religion on Pueblo people. That was disheartening. We were happy to see the story of the revolt! But then came boarding schools and colonization. The inside mural - before the projected quotations from Pueblo people on a wall - was colorful & beautiful. I was ignorant about so much of this history. Now that I'm learning, I'm understanding. This center is a marvelous way to preserve their history, and allow us to know their stories.

Me & my family came here yesterday and had a beautiful experience. I love to be surrounded by Native music in the air, it just feels up my soul. The pottery & art that is displayed so uniquely is incredible. If you choose the door to your right when you walk in, the displayed pottery is so beautiful to see the way it is displayed. A great way to view it & for children not to touch it. They had Native Artist there selling there wares. Some of the most beautiful pots I've ever seen. We kind of went late (our mistake) & I wanted to buy stuff but by the time we finished the museum, we were so hungry & decided to go eat at their restaurant. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Was invited to speak at a conference that was hosted here. It's a lovely venue and the service during the conference was great. We had some technical audio difficulties in one talk and they were promptly there to offer a fix. Food was ok but that's not on them. Make sure to check out the exhibits and take time to walk the venue and appreciate the history. Look forward to coming back to future conferences here. Lovely place for a conference with added history.

A really fantastic and enriching experience to visit. The exhibits are lovely and well done and there are wonderful performances on the weekend (check out online calendar). We were fortunate to see Ria Thundercloud talk about her culture and perform some beautiful dances that my daughters are still talking about. The restaurant was a treat as well - reasonably priced and tasty meals for the family!

I love visiting places I've never been and learning all about the culture and food of a place. We mainly stopped by the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center to grab a bite to eat at the Indian Pueblo Kitchen but it was pretty interesting inside so we decided to stay a bit. Even if you don't want to come to a museum, I'd recommend eating here. Very delicious!!! The center itself is a good size but I will agree with most other reviewers that the exhibits are smaller. I would say that it wouldn't be more than an hours worth of viewing. We got to see the tail end of a tour and the information given was very interesting. I would say that I do think it's worth the $20+ to enter. The courtyard out back is really nice. We didn't get to see a performance but I'm sure they are good when there is one. The gift shop was pretty darling and the people working inside were knowledgeable and friendly. There are a lot of different items to choose from but I will agree that most of the items are higher priced things.

Some of this place is done SO WELL, but it also misses the mark in a few places. I love that an institution like this is still connected to the people it represents. The market in the center area really brings this home, as does the rotating local artists displays. This ties in perfectly with the displays of cultural artifacts, dioramas, and the like. However, rather than embracing this, the setup tried to feel like the sterile smithsonian... but without the maintenance to really keep that up. Things like broken audio speakers and kids interactive displays that weren't really thought out detracted from the experience. One glaring item was the different dances looping on with dancers in on a black background in a blank room. These dances are supposed to connect to nature... but instead they are just suspended on the wall. I would still recommend checking it out. Tickets are reasonable and the market has some great finds and local artists.

Let me say after reading reviews I expected more. I do not know how someone could spend hours there unless you eat in their restaurant or like to shop in their gift shop. My daughter mentioned she would love to have an Indian blanket and itvwould cost around $300. We took a look at them and they said made in China. Very disappointing that they can't souce authentic items. There was a skateboard exhibit where teenagers pained on them. There was an artist that sold prints and a Native American exhibit with pottery and some history and some native garments and jewelry. They had a display showing how Pueblos built houses from the earth. The native dances were interesting. We saw the end of the 2pm show and then the 15 minute show. Interesting but not very entertaining. Adult cost of 22 dollars which is totally fine.

This is a decent if very small cultural center and museum. It's better on weekends when there are more events run. If you have the time, I'd recommend going to the museums in Santa Fe which are much more comprehensive. It's a shame that many of the audio devices were broken and that there weren't more AV presentations. Not sure if that was a function of going in January which was the off season. Enjoyed talking to the local artists who were selling their artwork at very reasonable prices. This would be a great museum if they got a curatorial team to revamp and reupdate everything.

When in Albuquerque go to this cultural center! I loved it here because Native American Indian culture fascinates me. I love the appreciation for land, animals, the art that they even use for everyday life. Although it was a bit smaller to other places I had been to it was about 2 hours spent depending on special exhibits & vendors outside. It was a good flow and collection of pieces with some interactive parts. I bought a gorgeous necklace from a vendor and the shop had a few items I liked. The restaurant on site had a great breakfast & offer a wide range selection. People were very friendly at the center. There is a parking private lot with limited space.

One of the coolest museums we've been to in awhile. Loved learning the history of the native tribes from the area. I also loved that they had a cafe inside with native ingredients which unfortunately we didn't get to try. As you walk through there is a mix of photography, pottery, and paintings that all tell a story. We also found a small vendor outside who was selling his jewelry whom we purchased from as well as from the indoor shop.

The artwork and the history of American Indians is so rich, & I am glad I got to experience it at this place. They are working so diligently to keep their culture and history alive, & it is very exciting to experience, how they evolved over the years & continue to maintain & showcase their identity using this platform. The food at the restaurant was truly very very delicious, many different things on the menu I haven't tried before, & would love to try on my next trip. The dance by the Pueblo from Sky City was mesmerizing, almost like traveling back in time, even though it was bone chilling cold and windy, the dancers continued to smile and perform in the open courtyard. I believe the dance performances are only on weekends, you can check it on their website for the calendar of events. The artwork by the local pueblos is at display, truly skilled in their art and so proud to display their culture, must visit on your trip to the area.

I really enjoyed the museum areas of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. There were some nice displays explaining the history of the Pueblo people and how they were treated by the Spanish, Mexicans and Americas. Its not a pretty history but very important to learn about. There were also some rotating exhibits with one being an art content for young people. There were some beautiful pieces done by a variety of children. Overall a very nice visit and I enjoyed learning about the Pueblo people.

A must-visit when you're in Albuquerque! The exhibits aren't very large but provide a good overview of the history and culture of the Pueblo Native Americans. I enjoyed the cultural dance performances in the courtyard and it was neat getting to browse the amazing items for sale by local artists. I'm especially awed by amazing craftsmanship and history behind the Acoma pottery. The gift shop is also actually much better than expected. Lots of locally made items like drums, moccasins and sage bundles.

Astounding and awe inspiring are too simple of words to describe one of the cultures who predated our ancestor's arrival to North America from every part of this Blue Marble we now call home. The Pueblo peoples with core values and beliefs that continue to this day. Here at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center one can come to understand how the 14 Nations, each a sovereign nation of its own of the Pueblo have come to be, survived millennia and continue to exist in the modern world. This fantastic museum houses examples and exhibits that allow the world to learn who and what they are. From ancient paintings, pottery and ceremonies to new artwork, love and respect for Mother Earth, murals to handiwork and crafts we learn in depth of this exceptional and amazing culture. Kudos to the creativeness, wisdom and bravado of a culture that lives on. This is an amazing experience to enjoy, learn from and appreciate - and venerate. We are honored and privileged to have had the opportunity to experience it.

Wow. What a cultural delight. We were desperate to find something to do in the area that was NOT outside hiking and gave us a good cultural experience and this is where we found it. The museum was both knowledgeable and entertaining. There was different sections including historical information, modern struggles, vendors, and the AMAZING restaurant. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Since New Mexico was pretty closed off when we passed through, we were very grateful to find this place.

Go! Don't question it, just go! You'll appreciate the cultural experience and learn about the history (although sad but it makes you rethink about life and appreciate our delicate and short time on earth IMHO). Loved seeing all the exhibits and the rotating exhibit as well with amazing talent! The highlight was watching their cultural dances with live singing and music.

Informative cultural center about the New Mexican Pueblos current and past history. We arrived just before 11 am to attend the mural tour, which was lovely and our volunteer guide was George Arthur. He was welcoming, engaging and informative. Afterwards, we walked through the museum and viewed all the exhibits, ate lunch, and watched the beautiful one hour Zuni dancing in the courtyard at 2-3 pm. We left around 4 pm. I also got lured into perusing the local vendors and bought a handmade sterling silver ring from a gentleman from the Santo Domingo Pueblo. I'm glad others had packed up as I may have bought more! Eek! We didn't anticipate staying so long! It was informative and sad but these stories of perseverance, adversity, abuse need to be told. Everyone should visit to learn more and support the indigenous people in the US. We didn't have any issues of broken displays. And it seems the exhibits changed compared to prior reviews. There was pottery, fetish animals, boarding school, farming, and more. The kids area has building blocks and magnetic board. In addition, two artists were painting an adorably, colorful mural on the wall.

Wonderful museum! Loved the collection from several places.. The tapestry's are wonderful, need to look high and low the museum has so many artifacts.

Our group was visiting the ABQ area and stopped by the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center for a local cultural experience and to learn more about the Pueblo people. George was a phenomenal docent and gave thorough explanations of the history and culture of the Pueblo peoples. He was very knowledgeable on all the subject and had a vast knowledge of the New Mexico area. The tour was very insightful and gave our group a broader understanding of both the adversity which the Pueblo peoples have faced and their fascinating culture. The cultural center overall was very clean and the staff were all super nice. The displays had great information and many even had interactive displays. If you are ever in ABQ and are looking to learn more about the Pueblo peoples this is the place to go!

I am from NM and have lived and traveled all around the world been to many museums. I highly recommend this museum and cultural center to both locals and visitors. Even if you are familiar with some history of various Native American tribes/ pueblos, you will learn an incredible amount of new information. The museum features beliefs, traditions, cultural practices, and history from multiple NM pueblos. I was very moved at moments and became far more educated.

I absolutely love Native American culture and visiting this place was the highlight of my vacation in New Mexico I even bought some Native American art from a couple of people

Just went to the restaurant and it was fantastic. Great service and amazing food. Bison and cabbage soup is delicious. Get the onion rings! I wish they had a sampler platter to try all the great soups, stews!

When we went to Albuquerque, I was sorta disappointed because I expected more Indian culture. Perhaps I just didn't know where to look. The city just sprawls and a lot of strip malls. So the day we left, I made it a point to go to the Indian Cultural Center when they first opened. We had breakfast there (see separate review) and spent exactly 1 hour looking at the exhibits It's not very big. I had hoped for a really awesome experience like the one in Anchorage for the Eskimos, one could spend 3 hrs there. I found it odd that one wing was dedicated to modern day female-only local Indian artists whose artwork revolved around Black Lives Matter. The gift shop wasn't that great and very pricey.

Was glad to visit them again, Covid 19 has been difficult for them however however they had really good covid 19 protocols at the museum. Lots of wonderful exhibits and a tour with a pueblo gentleman, Who was informative and positive about about all the different exhibits. I there are 19 current pleblo's in New Mexico and it was interesting to be guided with someone who understood so much about most of them. Is there a lot of beautiful exhibits and information about the Pueblo's in the area. It's a great informative tour of indigenous people and their experience. The exhibits and art work are all outstanding. Well worth a visit It's also well worth checking out the restaurant within the museum while you're there the food is outstanding and interesting. The food and has both Indigenous offerings and gringo offerings and New Mexico standards.

Enjoyed a walk through this lovely museum and grabbed some frybread and chile verde afterward. Nice people working here... and the restaurant was busy although the museum was relatively empty. fellow patrons commented that the chili and cornbread were also excellent. There i a large parking lot attached.

As an educator and one who values and treasures each individual's uniqueness and history; I absolutely loved this museum. There was so much to learn and so much to see. If you are planning to travel to Albuquerque, New Mexico this museum is a must to visit.

The Indian Cultural Center is well worth a visit during a trip to Albuquerque. The Cultural Center is Non- Profit opened in 1976 and is owned and operated by the 19 Indian Pueblos of New Mexico. The center is dedicated to the preservation of Pueblo Indian Culture, History and Art. The Cultural Center consists of a Museum, Restaurant and Gift Shop. It took us 1.5 hours to tour the Museum and Gift Shop. Masks weren't required, and Photography is allowed. There is a interesting temporary exhibit called PIVOT, dedicated to Skateboard Deck Art. This exhibit is very unique and fun to explore. Many of the museum exhibits are audio-visual, which was a bonus. I learned a lot about Indian Culture during the museum tour. The Gift Store is fairly large and has a lot of Indian Merchandise. We purchased some gifts, and the store is shipping for us. The restaurant looked nice, but we didn't try it during this visit. Parking is free and an easy walk to the center. Admission is only $10.00 for adults- so a real bargain. This is a fairly small museum, but considering the reasonable admission price makes it a fun way to spend some time while in Albuquerque.

So glad we went to the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, enjoyable and a great learning experience. First took a tour of the exhibits with an enthusiastic knowledgeable docent (sorry forgot her name). The building is immaculate and modern with artfully arranged exhibits. Especially liked the native produced art detailing daily life in the pueblo both historical and modern. But the most enthralling part for me was watching the dancing in a courtyard at the back of the building. We were told that Native American dancing is not primarily for entertainment, it's a religious experience that's very demanding for participants. Dancers ranged from 4 years old on up, and some of the youngsters were absolutely adorable. Costumes were exquisite, including several dancers whose faces were covered by green leaves and antlers. Those dancers had to use walking sticks to orient themselves, amazing! It was inspiring to see the Pueblo's cultural pride even after so many years of oppression. Wonderful experience.

This is absolutely one of the best museums I have ever been to. It features all the Pueblos in and around Alburquerque and Santa Fe. Such beautiful displays. So much information. In the public square they had a large variety of vendors. Each vendor was thoroughly vetted to ensure their items were entirely locally made and nothing was imported. I was able to complete my Christmas and Birthday shopping of beautiful and wonderfully made gifts. I loved talking to the vendors about their individual Pueblos and how they differed. The artwork made me cry.

A great place to visit to learn more of the NM Indian history and practices and to see some beautiful art. I spent around 3 hours reading and listening to every bit of information the center had to offer. They have a large gift shop that I'm sure anyone can find something they want. There are great books that you can read to expand on what you leaned at the center. The restaurant has good food and bakery items.

Loved walking through museum and watching cultural dances. Highly recommend visiting if ever in the ABQ area.

Time for a brief walk after a filling meal. They had some native craftsman selling their wares. We are especially interested in the pottery. Buying it direct from the craftsman gives you the story and meaning behind it. Plus the money goes directly to the artist, not to 2 or more middlemen. Unfortunately we didn't have ally of time to go thru all the exhibits. But we did see was impressive and gave insight into struggles faced over decades of decisions not made by tribes and not to their benefit. We'll be back for a more thorough look at all the exhibits.

Went there the other day with family to experience all that this center had to offer and was amazed by all the beautiful pieces of art, culture and people. Underwhelmed however by the lack of attention and customer service in the restaurant. We were sat immediately (party of 2) to a table then walked past and ignored for at least 30-40 minutes. Tables were cleaned around us, waitresses applied makeup and joked around, and every table around us was taken care of in an untimely manner. That bus boy though...he was running circles around the staff and the manager on duty!! I wish I could've given the entire tip to him!!!

Perfect spot to bring visitors and family! One of the highlights is the restaurant. Pairs modern food with cultural flavors. Great atmosphere and very good service. Some of our favorites include the Monte Carlo sandwich and the Tewa Tacos (but ask for the green or red chili sauce on the side, otherwise the fry bread comes out soggy). And you MUST order the blue corn onion rings! When the weather is nice, it's great to sit on the patio with their iced passion tea.

Went here for brunch in late May, and the food was very good! The menu had many different options to choose from, and the food was both flavorful and filling! We ordered the kicked up atole (my entrée), Indigenous Gather plate, Green chile pork stew, Pueblo oven-bread French toast, fry-bread, and localized honey tasting plates. Great experience, and would come back here again in the future.

Excellent food and service. Great Native cuisine of New Mexico Pueblo foods. Kwak kwah for delicious food.

My mother dated a Native American man when I was a child. Ever since I've been fascinated with the culture and history of ever since. This place was amazing and I'm looking forward to returning, friendly staff and the exhibits are wonderful. Wish I had enough money to donate a huge sum.. one day.

Website says "Open for indoor or patio dining, or takeout" and four of us dined on the patio two weeks ago. Today we came back and was told that they don't allow patio dining. They are not very friendly or accommodating. Maybe they should change the website to be more accurate. I most certainly won't be back.

We came for Thanksgiving. We began by ordering waters since the server wanted to come back for the kids' drinks. We were initially given one too few waters. Then she brought three apple juices and said she needed to refill the cranberry, before returning to say they were out. My son has a serious nut allergy. The server did not know whether the Monte Cristo from the regular menu has nuts, and insisted the restaurant was too busy to check with the manager or chef, until I told her it was life threatening. The manager came after hearing "we had a lot of questions" and told us the sandwich didn't have nuts. She said that because the rib eye from the Thanksgiving menu had a rub, it would contain sage (which makes my husband have undesirable digestive issues that aren't deadly, but are best avoided) because the gravy on the turkey dish (a different entree) had sage. The server later returned and insisted that my son should not order the Monte Cristo because it is covered in berries. We reminded her that his allergen is nuts rather than berries, and mentioned that the manager had been by. We were not allowed to order the ribeye any temperature other than medium. When our food came, we were missing the salads that were supposed to come with the meal. Those were brought later upon our request. One kid's meal had fries instead of fruit. A grilled cheese was brought instead of the burger for another, so my six year old had to wait for the correct meal to be prepared. The server returned with a half slice of strawberry, one blackberry and a few tiny blueberries in the type of cup they put catsup in. She assured me that portion was the proper size for a side. When my other son's burger arrived, it had no fries. The server refused to bring the fries that were described as included on the menu saying, "There's nothing I can do," and suggested we give him the fries from my other son's plate, that had come instead of the fruit he ordered. She said, "You don't look happy. Do you want to talk to a manager?" I said yes. Fries were brought out by another server, and the manager did not come. The food was acceptable, but not particularly desirable. A 20% tip was automatically added to our bill. I do not intend to revisit. I would not recommend this restaurant if you have any allergies and a will to live, or if you aren't interested in Dick's Last Resort-style service.

Authentic Native American cultures represented through art, history, dance, and storytelling. Exhibits are interesting and informative. Native artisans also display and sell their work...beautiful craftsmanship.

We waited 30+minute for our food. My husband ordered a Navajo taco and was so disappointed. I ordered a taco salad and it was nothing to write home about. The most disappointing part was the wait after ordering only to get very mediocre food.

Visiting the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center was one of the highlights of my trip to New Mexico. I enjoyed the education and learned so much. We were fortunate that on a Saturday there was Native American dancing which was awesome to see. I highly recommend a visit here.
