Albuquerque Food Scene - Places I frequent when I visit home 🏡
14
items I lived in ABQ for 10 years before moving. My parents still live there and so are majority of my friends. When I visit, we normally frequent all these food spots I've been to several times in my life and thoroughly miss.

This place is hands down one of the best places to get breakfast burritos. If you love a hearty burrito that is massive and not filled with potato, this is the place to go. Their green sauce is also so good. Absolutely a place a frequent when I visit...
New Mexico - Federico's Mexican Food
I still dream about the clay pots. The dang clay pots are so freaking good and the lemon grass chicken, get it!!
Basil Leaf Vietnamese Restaurant
This is just an ABQ pizza staple. Still convinced to this day that the pizza is made around their ranch. My favorite is double of the 505 (green Chile and pepperoni). Their special pizza is great too. Oh and get the lemonade!
Dion's Pizza
Get the fried chicken and a side of BBQ sauce. Best combination, ever.
My best friend literally sent me a photo of their chicken and had the audacity to say "I gotta convince you to come home somehow". If that doesn't scream that this place is my g...
Golden Pride
So, I attended the University of New Mexico and unfortunately for me, a lot of my money went to frontier while in university. I used to bring my laptop to code here during my breaks and you'd find their famous cinnamon roll and a coffee on my table o...
Frontier
If you have not caught on the vibe of the list, I am no stranger to hole in the wall places. Honestly they are usually much better. Would give you a heads up that this is located near the international district which can be a little sketch, but don't...
Phở #1
Carnitas plate all the way and don't forget to get the churro cart. Great place for Mexican food if you're looking for some!
Lindo Mexico Grill and Seafood
So we totally stumbled upon this restaurant on accident but it did not disappoint. The vibes were on point, the food was on point. We went for brunch and got the eggs Benedict 2 ways and bloody Mary!
Central Bodega
And this is where my love for Peruvian food was born. Nestled outside of Kirtland Air Force base, this mom & pop shop serves amazing rotisserie, Lomo Saltado and other Peruvian dishes. The wife is actually from Peru!! The flavors are amazing and ...
Pollito Con Papas
The only boba place that I found that serves avocado boba with the correct consistency. I love this place and it's so cute too! They have board games and you can just hang out. They have some apps as well!
Rustic Bubble Tea Cafe
This place is so underrated, but a great place to get surf and turf and prime rib!
Pelican's
May or may have not been one of my spots for a breakfast burrito 🌯. This is just a NM staple!
Blake's Lotaburger
If you've never been to a teppanyaki grill, here's a rec I can get behind. The chefs are always so funny and the food is always good!
Samurai Grill & Sushi Bar
My parents actually took me to this place! Normally it's the other way around, but it did not disappoint. My best friend and I loveeeee this place. It's soooo good!!
