About the Original Old Town Steak House

High Noon Restaurant & Saloon opened in historic Old Town in July 1974. From that point on, they’ve been serving wild game, New Mexican cuisine, and margaritas to the residents and visitors of Albuquerque.

The Villa family keeps to the tradition of serving eclectic food in an elegant fashion. Plus, they provide top-quality service to every person who walks through the doors.

Whether you’re coming for a special event or just for a good meal, hanging out in the lounge or eating in one of the dining rooms, you’ll get to enjoy a unique dining experience.

Making Your Events More Special

High Noon offers the perfect backdrop for a birthday party or other fun event. The 250-year-old adobe building gives off that traditional New Mexican charm. This is especially true through the brick floors, kiva fireplaces, and viga ceilings.

If you’re interested in having a party here, you can do so in one of the three private rooms available:

• The Santos Room: Seats up to 24 people with lighted nichos and authentic santos.
• The Gallery: Fits up to 45 people with a kiva fireplace and divided light windows.
• The Kiva Room: Seats up to 70 guests with high ceilings, lighted trees, and cozy bancos.

You can even rent the whole place, if you’d like! If you’re wanting to throw a wedding or other big party for 150 guests, just call the restaurant to make arrangements.

New Dishes from the Old West

Meanwhile, you’re welcome to visit the restaurant for lunch or dinner. While there are tons of dishes to try, we recommend getting their signature steak. It’s a brown sugar-coriander cured tenderloin served on top of wild mushroom enchiladas.

As you can see, the dishes here are quite unique. Here’s a look at more available options:

• The “Plaza” Platter: shredded chicken taquito, pork tamale, cheese enchilada, and a braised short rib relleno.
• Green Chile Cheeseburger: half-pound burger with sliced cheddar and New Mexico Hatch Green Chile.
• Peach BBQ Short Ribs: braised short ribs, peach BBQ sauce, mashed potatoes, and crispy fried onions.

Don’t forget to get one of their specialty margaritas! Between The Carlita and 1800 Grand Gold, there are plenty of ways to add more excitement to your meal.
