We went to Durans tonight on the recommendation of a friend who lives in ABQ. My husband ordered blue corn enchiladas. I ordered huevos rancheros and a side of sour cream (to go). We browsed the gift shop while we waited. An employee brought our to-go to us and we left (after buying some cute merch) Everyone was very nice to us. We returned to our hotel to eat, and when we brought out the food we discovered that my husbands enchiladas were NOT the blue corn hed asked for. My sour cream was not there; there was a small side cup w/some diced lettuce and tomato. We are disappointed that our order was not as we had ordered and paid for. Please, Durans. You must send the correct to-go items. We trusted you. This is the kind of thing that makes us not wish to eat there again.

I live in Brownfield TX. & while back while working in Albuqurque, I stopped in to check the place out. Liked it so much, I took my wife back to New Mexico just to hang out & told here this is a must, so we went in & found it fascinating. I didnt buy anything at the time but went back home wishing I had bought a knife I liked, so I called up there & a young lady by the name of Karen helped me out & in a week later, the knife was in my hand. She even sent me a thank you card for doing business with them. We will return to expireance the restaurant next time. I hear its delicious...... Thanks Karen.....

Duran Central Pharmacy is a great place for food and gift items. The boutique in here is a little more upscale and fun than the average drug store. They have great purses, souvenirs, kitchen items and gourmet food stuffs here. Then theres the diner - very low key and simple in the best way. Old school diner in atmosphere more than looks. Friendly, seasoned wait staff. On point diner selections. One of the better Christmas Enchilada Plates I had on this trip. Inexpensive. I will definitely return on our next visit.

I have taken to visiting The Mans Hat Shop in Albuquerque whenever we stay in Santa Fe. I asked Bill at TMHS for a good place to eat and he suggested Durans. What a great lunch and what fun we had with our odd-ball waitress! Highly recommend for the great food - the tortillas looked amazing. I had the combo plate. Also, the gift section of the pharmacy rivaled that of any hoity-toity gift shop in a major city. Great selection of very stylish, unique and cool items. Got my wife a Moma perpetual calendar.

The food is amazing, the service however is terrible. I get the same old waitress every time I go. She is rude and unhelpful. She greets by asking "what do you want?" and takes my order as she is walking away. As a result she often gets my order wrong. I recently discovered there is another location on Menaul, though it is a much further drive I will be going there from now on just to avoid that horrible woman. Chile is amazing, great New Mexican food but horrible service at the downtown location.

Wonderful old-timey pharmacy with a large selection of local artisan and New Mexico kitch giftware as well as a 5* breakfast/lunch diner hidden in the back! The covered patio on a Wednesday that isnt too hot and veggie stuffed sopapillas (not really stuffed, smothered really) is heaven. I suggest splitting them with someone and getting a side of salad and a buttered tortilla to share. NOMS! Bonus points for flavorful but not too hot red chile, best Ive tasted in the year since I moved to ABQ.

We are here for dinner during our vacation. I had the huevos rancheros in a red sauce. My bf had the chicken enchiladas in a green sauce. The both came with flour hand made tortillas which were quite good. My bfs green sauce as awesome. The red sauce on mine was quite bitter, to the point where had I not mixed it with other things, I would not have been able to eat it. Service was good. I would go back!

Worst service Ive ever had. The potatoes in the breakfast burrito were like dehydrated mashed potatoes, chili had no flavor. Our server, walked away while asking how our nasty meal was, so we were unable to tell her we were not pleased. I felt more like an inconvenience than a guest. For the price of our meal we could have had double the food at Wecks. We will not return

This is one of the coolest spots I have ever been!! After or before your amazing meal head over to the gift shop. This gift shop is not an ordinary gift shop. This gift shop has alot of awesome gifts. Alot of new Mexican traditional merchandise. Did o mention the food its amazing. Not big portions but good. However the tortillas are huge and yes you want butter on it!

Great food. The best red chile in town and how about the flour tortillas, as good as grandmas. The wait staff is super great. They know your a regular so they ask you what you want to drink and know they dont have to bring you a menu cause they know you enough to realize that you know what you want.

on more than 1 occasion Pharmacists made changes to my medication without even discussing with me, techs would give me a hard time trying to refill medications by rudely implying i should have more left thats just not very kosher with me poor excuse for a "friendly" pharmacy

Great, small place to eat at back of pharmacy. Food is very good, from enchiladas, tacos, & sandwiches. Service very good, and friendly people. Helpful to strangers as well. A hidden secret for eating. Worth coming back to, & I will. Came sept. 2015, so not busy for lunch.

I was a skeptic at first about having food at a Pharmacy, but it was recommended by a local and am glad that I visited this place. The good is great, the tortilla is amazing when it is freshly made and warm. The pharmacy is also good selling wonky and quirky products.

I have lived in ABQ since 1986 and Durans still has the BEST green chili chicken enchiladas in town--anywhere! For a amazing treat, definitely go to Durans Pharmacy restaurant. I recommend the blue corn tortillas with that.

I purchased the Torpedo, which while tasty, lacked any type of meat. The tortillas were fresh and good, and all the filling was great too, but it really needed some meat. Next time I go, I will have to add it on there.

Yum! A little pricey for NM food, but very homey feel, and great breakfast. Probably my favorite spot for red chili. If its packed (its always packed), be prepared to wait a bit. GF options as well, fresh and delicious!

Best power-breakfast or lunch spot in town. Whimsical selection of goods in the shop, real people who actually enjoy talking to their customers work there, and nearly everyone youll see is a regular.

My dad has been eating here for about 10 years now & me about 3 years. Everytime I just a order a breakfast burrito with green Chile & I have yet to be disappointed. The food is always delicious.

I like to support local businesses and this place is amazing. I love a one stop shop - I can get my meds, a gift and amazing enchiladas all in one place. If you have not been - GO.
