Mexican restaurants in Albuquerque

  1. A

    El Norteño

    True Mexican - not New Mexican - cuisine is the thing here, with fantastic pollo norteño, chicken mole and the must-have cabrito al horno (oven-roasted goat).

    Los Cuates

    It’s not unusual for lines to form out the door at this favorite joint serving huge plates of high-quality­ New Mexican cuisine – including meat-free options. Los Cuates changed ownership recently, but the food is still first-rate.

  3. C

    Church St Café

    The food is delicious, and the café is historical and the exception to the plaza rule. Try the Albuquerque roast beef, and the French dip with green chile on a flour tortilla.

    Loyola’s Family Restaurant

    Pure Route 66 style baby, Loyola’s has been serving fine, no-frills New Mexican fare since before there was even a song about the Mother Road.
