[Dec. 2017] For the fourth year in a row, Papa Felipe’s has earned a Best of the City award. This year, our luscious avocado dip took the honor — Best Guacamole in Albuquerque – Top Five.

Of course, we make our guacamole, fresh, in-house, using real avocados. Creamy avocados gently mixed with tomatoes, onions, jalapenos, lemon juice, salt and a hint of garlic. For our Guacamole Salad, the guacamole is served atop crisp iceberg lettuce and topped with more diced tomatoes and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese with warm tostadas (tortilla chips).

 

Our guacamole accompanies many of your favorite dishes, like our fajitas and chimichangas. Plus, for a real treat just order the Guacamole Salad — available as an appetizer on our lunch and dinner menus.

  • In 2014, Papa Felipe’s won a Best Hidden Gem, Top Five award.
