I'm going to be perfectly honest: this review is personal!
A few college friends of mine were traveling through Albuquerque. They spent the night. We also went to dinner. Beforehand, I asked my aunt about good new mexican restaurants. My aunt suggested Sadie's, but it turns out she's been out of the loop for a while!
Anyway, me and my guests arrive at Sadie's and the experience goes from bad to worse. The wait is bad. The staff is bad. The worst is the ambience. This restaurant was full of loud, crying, out-of-control children. I suppose I'm old school, "children should be seen, and not heard." At least that's how I was raised. Certainly, children should not ruin an adult's meal. There was food all over the floor. I felt like a cow in a cattle-feed.
I was so embarrassed in front of my friends. I should mention that both my guests were female and, one of them, in particular, was a young lady that I had my heart set on. I won't claim that this experience completely ruined any romantic opportunity that i had with her, but it certainly didn't help!
Anyway, for better new mexican food, and an ambience geared more towards adults, look towards "los padillas" and "los cuates" new mexican restaurants. Otherwise, if you have spoiled, entitled, out-of-control children, they'll be welcomed at Sadie's.
Whew! Now that i've got that off my chest, I feel better!
