I agree with Bearcreek. There are not too many Mexican resturants in Albuquerque or Santa Fe; there are plenty of New Mexican restuarants. There is a big difference. New Mexican has more green or red chile poured all over the dish instead of a little bit of hot salsa on the side like Mexican places. Both are good.

The next time you are going thru, give a shout. Put Hillsboro on the agenda. The general store has great food.

I lived in Albuquerque for four years. Try the Albuquerque Tortilla Factory on 4th street for a quick lunch. Best are carnitas or carne adovada burritos. Its a lunch place only. Go to the Isleta casino south of town. They always have Native American food on the buffet and is very good. El Pinto and Sadies are excellent. Remember, on Tamales and carne adovada, ask for red sauce. On chile rellenos, ask for green. Never mix red and green. The church street cafe in old town is also good. Have fun in Albuquerque.
I lives in NM most my life, I'm living now in livington Parish, La . Miss the Food of NM

My wife and I ran across this place accidentally when we rode to Santa Fe from Tucson. Horseman's Haven ( 4354 Cerrillos Rd, Santa Fe, NM 87507 ) is very casual and has huge servings of some really great food. It's family owned and the service was great. We plan on going back this year and making that one of our stops again.
