Gardunos of Mexico Cocina & Cantina- Cottonwood Mall

Garduño’s Restaurants was founded in 1981 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, by Dave Garduño and his family. In the summer of 2011, a group of local investors created Southwest Brands which stepped in and saved this well known New Mexico Brand, immediately setting its goals to re-establishing and expanding the once proud Garduño’s brand of the past. There are two corporately owned themed restaurants that exist today, the Garduño’s Chile Packing Company located at the Winrock shopping center in the Northeast part of Albuquerque, and the Garduño’s Margarita Factory and Blue Agave Bar located on the Westside of Albuquerque at the Cottonwood Shopping Center. Each concept remains fresh and appealing through continual design, decor, and menu updates. At the same time, new concepts are evolving and expansion is moving forward through a number of licensing agreements where the concept and great food can be shared with the rest of the country.
