Top Ten Eats

Albuquerque is known for our love of food, especially our New Mexican cuisine and of course our chile. But this city has more to offer than just traditional New Mexican bites.

“New Mexican food isn’t the only cuisine to enjoy in Albuquerque. After all, Route 66 runs right through the city, so you’ll see a vibrant diner culture, as well. And of course, there's a strong Native American influence here. It all adds up to some amazing food experiences for your whole family,” says Shellie in KidTripster.

Neighborhood bakeries, family friendly restaurants with major portions, lighter/healthier options, farm to table and beautiful patio dining to enjoy Albuquerque’s unbeatable weather are a few of the delicious options for filling up on your next vacation.
