Rotiseria Y Taqueria Alcantara on Isleta, S.W.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, grocery prices have vaulted up 29% since February 2020.\u00a0 Indeed, an Associated Press survey conducted in 2025 revealed that “the cost of groceries has become a major source of stress for just over half of all Americans \u2014 outpacing rent, health care and student debt<\/em>.”\u00a0 Very, very few grocery items have proven themselves inflation-proof.\u00a0 Among those rare items is Costco’s rotisserie chicken which has remained the same price for years.\u00a0 That consistently low price is a major reason Costco sells \u00a0more than 100-million ready-to-eat chickens each year.<\/p>\n

The obvious question when you peruse the menu<\/strong><\/a> at Rotiseria Y Taqueria Alcantara is “can a rotisserie chicken at a hole-in-the-wall restaurant possibly be six times as good as a Costco chicken<\/em>?.”\u00a0 Do the math.\u00a0 “Six times” is just about how much more a whole rotisserie chicken at this Mexican restaurant on Isleta costs.\u00a0 \u00a0For the $28, you’ll pay for one chicken, you can actually buy almost six rotisserie chickens at Costco.\u00a0 You’re probably wondering if the $28 rotisserie chicken is gilded in golden plumage.\u00a0 Or perhaps, you’re pondering whether that chicken was pampered with a carefully managed diet of nutrient-rich grains like kobi beef cattle eat.<\/p>\n

The Immaculate Dining Room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

How much diners are willing to pay for an excellent meal isn’t necessarily an indicator of wealth.\u00a0 If that was the case, our diets would be mostly of the “cheap eats” variety.\u00a0 Paying for an excellent meal may be a bit of an indulgence, but most savvy gastronomes are happy to do so when cost equals quality.\u00a0 In my case, paying a bit (or a lot) more is me being a dutiful husband.\u00a0 My Kim loves rotisserie chicken though for me it’s often a salt bomb.\u00a0 For many of us, a rotisserie chicken from Rotiseria Y Taqueria Alcantare is not only somewhat more expensive than we’d normally pay, it’s a bit of a distance.<\/p>\n

Rotiseria Y Taqueria Alcantare (henceforth Alcantare) is\u00a0 located on Isleta Blvd which means driving through Avenida Cesar Chavez or Rio Bravo, both of whom seem to be under perpetual maintenance.\u00a0 \u00a0If you’re hungry, the ubiquitous orange cones can be frustrating.\u00a0 \u00a0Alcantare is located in a small, nondescript strip mall.\u00a0 The restaurant is absolutely immaculate.\u00a0 “Alcantare” is the family name.\u00a0 It’s not a very common name even in Mexico from where the family migrated.\u00a0 Before learning of the name from sweet Veronica, our hostess and server, I assumed the name Alcantare had its roots in singing.\u00a0 Conjugate the Spanish term (cantando) for singing and it would seem to make sense.<\/p>\n

Half A Rotisserie Chicken With Grilled Onions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Though Alcantare doesn’t have anything to do with singing, we found it ironic that a lone guitar is positioned just in front of the counter.\u00a0 Guests are invited to play that guitar.\u00a0 Veronica told us some guests have real musical talent and have been know to regale other guests with mellifluous song.\u00a0 Other than The Dude, our debonair dachshund, the restaurant was devoid of singing talent save for the Alejandro Fernandez<\/strong><\/a>album.\u00a0 Because we arrived at 3PM, only one other table was occupied.<\/p>\n

The Alcantare family is originally from Mexico City where they owned and operated a rotisserie.\u00a0 Veronica, a very outgoing and genial young lady was first to greet us.\u00a0 Her mother–also named Veronica–came in later.\u00a0 We learned that a third woman named Veronica was at work in the kitchen.\u00a0 Rapscallion that I am, I introduced myself as Veronica and told our hosts that The Dude’s name was also Veronica.\u00a0 It was good-natured fun.\u00a0 The family restaurant has been open some eighteen months (as of this writing in September, 2025).<\/p>\n

Torta de Salchicha with Fries<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Alcantare is not solely about rotisserie chicken.\u00a0 Far from it.\u00a0 The menu is replete with Mexican food favorites.\u00a0 Rotisserie chicken is available in whole and half portions with two sides or one respectively.\u00a0 Tacos with all your preferred proteins–al pastor (marinated pork), carne asada (steak), longoniza (spicy sausage), pollo (chicken) and campechano (mixed meat)–are available in quantity (the menu lists 25 tacos for $55).\u00a0 These proteins may also be used to construct a behemoth burrito or titanic torta.\u00a0 \u00a0Breakfast is served all day long, featuring such waker-upper delights as chilaquiles, huevos rancheros and enfrijoladas.\u00a0 Flautas, sopes, quesadillas and much more are also available.<\/p>\n

It was a given that my bride would order the rotisserie chicken.\u00a0 The question was “half or whole.”\u00a0 Not being quite the voracious eater that her husband is, she opted for the latter, a half chicken<\/strong><\/em> with one side.\u00a0 Sides include beans, rice, fries, grilled onions, grilled potatoes or salad.\u00a0 Her choice was grilled onions which she seems to prefer to steak when she orders fajitas.\u00a0 Glistening, pearlescent onions literally covered the entire half chicken which itself was gleaming with juices.\u00a0 You’re undoubtedly wondering if this chicken was really so much better than Costco’s bird that we were happy to pay the price.\u00a0 For us, the answer, is a resounding “yes.”\u00a0 This rotisserie chicken was superb!\u00a0 Every morsel of tender chicken was moist with a marinade or rub that penetrated all the way through.\u00a0 There was a lot of chicken on the bone, so much so that my Kim couldn’t finish it.\u00a0 Predictably, the grilled onions were a perfect accompaniment.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Fresas Con Crema<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Long have I proclaimed my love for tortas, the popular Mexican sandwich served on a soft, split roll such as a telera or bolillo.\u00a0 It’s no secret that I much prefer a torta to a taco or burrito.\u00a0 Tortas are among my very favorite sandwiches, particularly when a telera split roll is stuffed generously with ingredients.\u00a0 Alcantare obtains its soft, light and addictive telera bread from Mexico Lindo<\/strong><\/a>, a vibrant neighborhood store specializing in authentic Mexican products (and reputedly some of the best empanadas in town).\u00a0 Only at No Te Rajes<\/strong><\/a>, my very favorite food truck in New Mexico, have we enjoyed a comparable telera bread.\u00a0 \u00a0My torta of choice was torta de salchicha<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Though salchicha translates from Spanish to “sausage,” this sandwich was made with wienies, the type of which you’ll find on a Mexican hot dog (which are far superior to their American counterpart).\u00a0 Also on the torta were tomatoes, lettuce, avocados and cheese.\u00a0 This was an outstanding sandwich, brimming with flavor and fresh, high-quality ingredients.\u00a0 Although the French fries served with the sandwich weren’t quite worthy, three salsas were definitely top shelf.\u00a0 My favorite was an avocado-Serrano chile salsa, but the chile de arbol salsa was also magnificent.<\/p>\n

Three desserts–fresas con crema<\/strong><\/em>, flan and arroz con leche–are on the menu.\u00a0 In honor of my mom’s wonderful strawberry garden, fresas are a favorite dessert of mine.\u00a0 Fresh, luscious macerated strawberries are topped with Mexican sour cream and sprinkled lightly with sugar.\u00a0 Few things in life are as wonderful.\u00a0 My Kim, who often eschews desserts if they’re not ice cream, polished off nearly half of a dessert I had hoped she wouldn’t like much.\u00a0 My mom would have loved this fabulous dessert.<\/p>\n

You’ve got my verdict! Not only is Rotiseria Y Taqueria Alcantara a wonderful eatery, the rotisserie chicken is worth the cost. You might never want another Costco bird again.<\/p>\n
