Casa De Benavidez In New Mexico Has Patio Dining With A Waterfall

Mexican food and New Mexican food is certainly plentiful in the Land of Enchantment. If you love the flavors of the Southwest, you’re definitely in heaven here. We particularly love the long-standing, family-owned restaurants, and we recently found this little gem in Albuquerque that has a gorgeous patio with an enchanting waterfall. Check out Casa de Benavidez:

The Benavidez family got its start in the restaurant industry more than 50 years ago. When it was time to expand, they fell in love with this 100-year-old home that even had a partially-finished waterfall in the backyard. Today, Casa de Benavidez continues to be a little gem for Mexican and New Mexican food in Albuquerque.

Casa de Benavidez/Google The address of the restaurant is 8032 4th St. NW, Albuquerque, NM 87114.

The dining room here is comfortable and quaint, but you’ll want to dine outdoors on the patio for the most enchanting experience.

Of course, you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. If you can’t decide, order one of the combination platters, or build your own. You can order up to four entree items to create the perfect, customized meal for you.
