Breakfast Place:

Wecks: Get wild and try Buzz's favorite, Zia Pancakes!

​

"Hole In the Wall" Breakfast:

 Rincon Del Pollo, you gotta search this place out, but you get a taste of old style New Mexican food and service.

​

Balloonist's Favorite Breakfast Meal:

The Vaquero at Vick's Cafe.  Careful, they sell it as a meal but it really will feed two of the Crew!

​

Best Mexican Dinner:

Sadies.  Big portions, great food and drink.  The salsa can set off fire alarms.  Be ready to cool off with a Happy Hour Margarita!  

​

Best Mexican Meal in Old Town:

Church Street Cafe.  Love the red chile carne adovada.  Tasty and tender.

​

Best Bischochito In Albuquerque:

Celina's Bischochitos.  If you want a traditional cookie the way Gramma used to make them, these are the best.  

​

Best Margarita (Tie)

El Pinto.  Great margaritas and amazing bar.  El Pinto is a "tourist place".  Tons of personality and great food.  It's often crowded so you need reservations,  but you can sneak in and order at the bar.

​

Sadies.  Where the locals go for a great Margarita and lots of fun!)

​

Best Shop For Albuquerque "Trinkets":

The Old Town Basket Shop.  Inexpensive and lots of fun things to buy for friends to prove you really come to Albuquerque.
