"Very disappointed"
"My family and I tried this place…"
Everything was lovely & the atmosphere outside was serene. The portion of chicken of the chicken couscous bowl was next to nothing though. However, it tasted wonderful & was cooked well. The employees were friendly as always & it was clean & inviting. I hadn't been in a long while & it felt like a nice treat with my friend.

I have a new favorite entree at Flying Star, the Stewpot Chicken. It is somewhat like a deconstructed chicken pot pie, without the risk of burning the roof of your mouth and tongue. The generous flaky biscuit stays crispy, not soggy. The tender chicken & veggies are full of flavor. Be sure to plan extra time at the Juan Tabo location, it often takes twice as long as the Wyoming or Corrales locations, although same great food.

Get plenty of steps from parking out west, near the baseball fields.
I'm not sure what to make of this place. So many people that I know, love this place. Because of that, I have gone back to try them again, several times. Every time is the same. They have so many incredible "sounding" menu items, and I've tried a different one every time. The food is all just mediocre, and lacks flavor. The deserts are wonderful, and the coffee is great, but the prices are so high; and that's really the only thing I ever remember about the place.

Very disappointed. Our food came out cold after waiting 25 minutes. To try to eat a French dip with cold au jus is not good. And the grilled cheese sandwich with french fries was cold. This was a pickup order that I had ordered an hour and a half earlier. Then had to wait 25 minutes to get our cold meals. Our pickup time was 1: 15, well after the lunch rush. Probably won't go back to this store.

My family and I tried this place….. and we were not disappointed!!!! The hidden treasure is absolutely amazing for an Indian dish. The French toast was delicious, the burrito was delicious. And I tried the chicken couscous risotto………absolutely amazing!! This place is fast, clean, friendly and efficient. Everybody ate all of their food. Bonus… we got to sit out on the patio and it is dog friendly. I highly recommend this place. Keep in mind that you’ll pay for the quality of your food. For 4 of us, it was $80.
Absolutely fantastic service and food! We had a small issue with one of our dishes when it came out, but the manager handled it promptly and well! Everything was absolutely delicious! Had a couple of the seasonal dishes and tried the Mac and cheese and just loved it! Great spot, definitely an instant favorite.

They were able to sub out all the onions on my dish with no issue.
The French toast is a must have. Quality always remains impeccable. Staff is friendly and attentive, cafe is always clean and taken care of. Service is fast and efficient.

It should be illegal to sell an “entree” this small and underwhelming for $14.50. We used to get the posole verde all the time and it was actually a decent size and had a lot of meat in it. Now you pay $30 for two tiny servings and it’s basically just broth. Completely insane how much this restaurant now charges for what basically amounts to hospital food.

Disappointed.. the Menual location is much better quality food. Hands down. Will not be returning. The fish tacos were hard to get down. It looked and tasted undercooked and the chicken tenders were not cleaned very well (tendons, fat etc) and made for unappetizing dinner. The hostess seemed bored. Mmm, no thank you.

Its been years since I waited less than 45 minutes for my food. I keep hoping its a fluke and its not. The last straw was when my order of chicken tenders had two tiny chicken tenders after waiting over 40 minutes. I wont be returning. The food is too expensive for this.

First off no table service, other than they deliver food to your table, 1 time. Food was average. Coffee ok. Refills walk to coffee station fill up. You walk in place order, get flag number. Wait for food delivery. I will say they have some great looking sweets in case by cashier. I did not try any however. Doubt I will go back.

What a first rate place for an amazing brunch!!! You pick your own table and order/pay at the front. Definitely a bit busy, but the food is incredible, and they have an amazing case of desserts, too!! My posole verde was sooo amazing, and really hit the sweet spot for that New Mexico green chile craving!

Food was good but service was really slow and staff had allowed a man to bring in a very dirty, very smelly dog that kept coming over the back of our booth. It was not a service dog and should not have been there.

Sunday breakfast place was crowded and service was good. The sausage breakfast sandwich was just okay. My wife loves their pancakes. Coffee was good . Refills you go get your own but unfortunately is in a small area and gets crowded.

Awesome brunch spot... The food is great and gluten free options are available. The GF flapjacks are amazing! The service is noteworthy. The patio was clean and the tables were far enough apart to be socially distant. The London Fog was a dream. The coffee was an earthy delight.

I order fish tacos, the fish wasn’t cooked. I took it back up, the cashier was very sweet. The gentleman that refused my money not so much. I love Flying Star. I just won’t return to this location.

We had a last minute event and needed a large batch of hot chocolate made. I called flying star - while it wasn’t on their catering menu, the manager was very quick to respond, explore options, give a fair estimate and provide a quick turnaround on something they didn’t typically offer. The customer service was exceptional!

Their breakfast is fantastic and the bowls keep us coming back for more. All the locations are great, but you can't beat the plants, shade, and birds on the patio at this one. Dining in, takeout, and delivery have all been consistently positive experiences. I can't recommend them enough!

Upon entering the flying star Café, it’s a very retro modern style . Very warm and welcoming and you will always receive a smile with your service. We tried the all day breakfast this time. The taste was not what I had anticipated. My prior visit to this establishment had been quite delicious.
