I used to live in ABQ., and fortunately within walking distance from Duran's. Nothing beats their home-made tortillas! Get them without the butter to truely savor the char of the grill and homemade taste that compares to no other. While their chile is not hot by any means, it is still tasy. Watch your meal be made while sitting at... more

They have the biggest and best buttery tortillas in ABQ. Also recommend the huevos rancheros and the chicken enchiladas. Try to hit it any chance we get! more

The staff makes you feel like you're at home, Donna's the greatest. The food is great, the atmosphere is great. If you've never been there, you've got to try it. more

We stopped here for breakfast on our way out of town. Needing provisions as well, we liked the combination of drug store/cafe.

I actually crave Durans - I love to go to the little drugstore and see the same people that have worked there for years making the tortillas and serving them. It is great.

This place has a long history and this was our first visit for lunch. Special was 3 chicken enchiladas for a somewhat expensive almost $10--tasty but smothered in cheese.
