We know it can get pricey very quickly when taking the entire family out to eat. Sometimes parents need a break from doing it all, but we also need a break in our wallets. So, we have gathered all the places in the Albuquerque area that let kids eat free (or close to it)!
Daily
Fogo de Chao
Children six and under enjoy complimentary dining at Fogo, and ages seven to twelve dine at half-price for the Full Churrasco Experience. Date night for mom and dad, and a fun experience for the littles. It’s a win!
IHOP
Kids eat free at IHOP between 4-10 p.m. every day with the purchase of an adult entree. Who wouldn’t want smiley face pancakes for dinner?
Tucanos Brazilian Grill
Kids under 6 eat free with a paying adult, and kids 7-12 are discounted. A great date night or birthday option for your whole family!
Christy Mae’s
Not free, but still an exceptionally good price! Kids meals are $2.99 at Christy Mae’s on the Northeast side with the purchase of an adult meal.
Cici’s Pizza
It’s not free, but it’s hard to beat a $5.99 kid’s buffet combo deal! Available daily at the Montgomery location. Plus, if you download the Cici’s app and sign up for rewards, adults can enjoy the buffet for $5.99 on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Jason’s Deli
Two Albuquerque locations (Uptown and on the Westside) said they hand out vouchers for a future free kids meal. When you visit the store, purchase an adult meal, and get a kids coloring page, you can get the voucher. The voucher wouldn’t apply to that visit, but to a future order.
Chili’s
Okay, there is a bit of a catch to this one. If you sign up for My Chili’s Rewards, you will be sent the occasional kids eat free promotion for kids 12 and under with the purchase of an adult entree.

Monday
Texas Roadhouse
The Pan American location has $3.99 kids meals on Mondays! Your kids can fill up on rolls, and you won’t feel so guilty when they only eat a few bites of their meal.
Outback Steakhouse
On Joey Mondays throughout the summer, kids eat free at Outback with the purchase of an adult entree. Make sure to check their promotions before ordering because this can change.
Tuesday
Denny’s
Kids eat free every Tuesday from 4-10 pm with the purchase of an adult meal. Make sure to check before you go; this is only available at select locations!
Thursday
Chick-Fil-A Cottonwood
Th first Thursday of every month, kids eat free at Chick-Fil-A Cottonwood in the dining room or ordered through the drive-thru. It is limited to two free kid meals per family. Kids must be under age 12 and present for the offer. If you choose to eat there, they will also have a game night, and maybe even a visit from the cow! The perfect after practice, after school dinner!
Sergio’s Bakery & Cafe
Enjoy yummy Italian food at Sergio’s in the Northeast, where kids eat free EVERY Thursday.
Weekend
Dickey’s Barbecue Pit
Kids eat free on Sunday with any adult purchase of $15 or more! Keep an eye on their ongoing promotions, because they do add in some extra deals for kids, families, and adults!
