Wining and Dining Tips
Albuquerque is the place to test you taste buds with the star attraction in most dishes being the chile pepper, which by the way is the state fruit. The town has abundant restaurants featuring Spanish, Native American and Mexican cuisine. Some of the best food experiences can be found in one of the local “mom and pop” restaurants, with down home cooking.There are so many great restaurants to choose from, but some that stand out are La Salita for Mexican grub, Pueblo Harvest in Old Town and Rudy’s Country Store and Barbeque, which many call the best barbeque in town. If you and your love interest are in the mood for romantic fine dining, then it’s reservations at Antiquity Restaurant in Old Town.
