Summer is here and this is the perfect pit stop along the Turquoise Trail. Food was fresh and tasty and service was friendly. We sat on the patio and watched the world slow down a bit. You can even buy some provisions to take home !
A wonderful hole in the wall place to stop in anytime! Feel lucky to live closeby...our 3 rd time there and they never disappoint! Drinks from the bar was also excellent! Thank you Black Bird Saloon for making our dining experience pleasant! See you when you return after the winter break!
We decided to do a day trip up to the top of the sandias and ended up at the Blackbird Saloon in Cerrillos, where they serve probably some of the best burgers I have ever had in New Mexico. This hidden gem is definitely worth the trip off the beaten path. You get an amazing road trip and a great experience all in one. The old rustic feel of the space the creak of the floor the warmth from a wood fire and maybe if you're feeling saucy you get yourself a craft cocktail. Cheers, To your next food Adventure
We try and get to Blackbird at least once or twice a month. It's worth the drive. Love the atmosphere. Food is great and servers are very good. El Chivato is my go to, but they always have fun and interesting choices on the menu.
All their food is delicious! We loved to eat outside in the peaceful setting. Both inside and outside evoke an earlier time-a step back in history. We miss this place after returning to NYC, but have great memories of visiting Cerrillos and the Black Bird Saloon.
We drove 2.5 hours from Magdalena, NM to check out the sweet little town of Madrid and Cerrillos. We had read about Blackbird Saloon and how it was a husband and wife operation, similar to ours at our own diner. We loved their story and the concept and everything in the photos online looked very thoughtful, vintage, and old world. We ate there twice during our trip. Once for dinner, and once for brunch. For dinner we had the market pork chop, trumpet mushroom toast, and a takeaway cheese board. All delicious, simple, high quality ingredients. Great casual service, beautiful and cozy ambiance. Brunch was also great. Met the owner Patrick, front of house manager Suzanne, and the in house baker Leslie. All very lovely people. Will definitely be back and tell everyone about this place!
Been wanting to come here and finally made the time after a hike at Cerillos Hills state park. Menu is gourmet with interesting choices like elk burgers, quail and wild mushrooms featured. Simple presentation on disposable plates (real glassware and silverware). All under 20. Alcohol served. Indoor and outdoor seating. Order at counter. Friendly service. Be prepared kitchen is a little slow - and totally worth it
I had the finest steak salad and French 75 I’ll probably ever have in my life. The hostess was outstanding, service was prompt, prices were not jacked up. What a memorable meal in a super cool atmosphere.
