Garduño's is a Mexican and New Mexican cuisine restaurant chain from the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. There are two locations in Albuquerque, and former locations in Las Cruces, Santa Fe, Phoenix area and the Las Vegas Valley.

History

The restaurant was started as a small family-owned restaurant in 1969. Since then, it has expanded into a chain of restaurants. The chain ran into financial trouble in 2011, filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, then was purchased by Southwest Brands. Afterward several of the locations closed, including the Las Vegas Valley location. Garduño's has opened new locations in the Albuquerque area.

Specialties

Garduño's is known for featuring large plates of Mexican and New Mexican foods, as well as large margaritas and various alcohols.

Reception

They have received accolades in both their home state of New Mexico, and their Las Vegas Valley locations. The Palms Casino Resort and Fiesta Rancho locations were voted Las Vegas Review-Journal's "Best Mexican Restaurant" consecutively for nearly 20 years.

In popular culture

The location at Winrock Shopping Center was featured in the Breaking Bad episode "Confessions".
