Crafting Memories with Every Meal, Since the 1950s
Welcome to Stufy's Restaurant, founded by culinary pioneers Ray Madrid and Lawrence Villanueva. Our journey began in the 1950s when Ray, then Head Chef at the Albuquerque Country Club, opened Mexican Maid restaurant in downtown Albuquerque. With a unique sopaipilla machine and cherished recipes, Stufy's was born in 1968, carrying on a tradition continued today by Paul Madrid and Lawrence Villanueva II since 1989.
