Bert's La Taqueria
Chef Fernando Olea’s father-daughter operation (his daughter, Samantha, who works the front of the house, lays down a sauce of charm and hustle as thick as her father’s), is as hospitable as it is delicious, and when a table is in the mood to celebrate, the staff is in accompaniment.
Bumblebee's Baja Grill
This small, Santa-Fe-owned chain of restaurants (there are now two in Albuquerque as well) has become a local favorite by serving large portions of well-made, high-quality Mexican food in lively, friendly surroundings.
Coyote Café/La Cantina
With New Mexican and Central American influences. The rooftop bar is a popular gathering place.
El Paisano
As is tradition among Mexican carnicerias and tiendas, there’s more than one El Paisano, but the little grocery’s iteration on Cerrillos Road, next to Big Lots, has earned a special place in our hearts.
El Parasol
The tamales are plump, moist and filled with spicy red chile and pork. The Frito pies are heaped high with corn chips and chile and cheese, meaning that the Fritos on the bottom stay crispier than usual (which is good, if you’re into that kind of thing—some people like ’em mushy). Even the tortilla chips are crisp and salty, perfect for dipping in the spicy, tangy salsa.
Felipe's Tacos
The tacos are just a vehicle for Felipe’s mouth-watering salsas.
Horseman's Haven
Horseman’s Haven was a homespun cook shack with fiery hot chile, intimidating portions and a take-it-or-leave-it attitude that, despite being relocated to fancier, cleaner digs at a more reasonable distance from the gas pumps, remains a favorite among locals and roadhouse aficionados alike.
