This building is known as Casa de Ruiz, which translates to “the house of Ruiz,” a name that goes back to the history of the property.

Bruce B/TripAdvisor

Though much information has been lost, the building this restaurant operates in is said to be the oldest property in Albuquerque, and was originally built for the Ruiz family. The house remained in their family until the last member passed away in 1991.

The house was built using terrones, which are a type of adobe brick that was used near the Rio Grande marsh because they could weather the swampy conditions.
