A selection of restaurants local to Albuquerque with New Mexican, American and Southwestern flavors. If you want a taste of what the locals love, all with tried-and-true reviews and fans, these are restaurants not to miss. My favorite for outdoor seating is El Pinto, but for breakfast you can't beat the papas at Weck's. And for those wondering, everything can always be enhanced with chile! Just be prepared to answer the question: Red, Green or Christmas?
