Hmmm, I am trying to remember the burger place, Moldy.
Here are a couple near UNM and Nob Hill:
There's Kelly's Brew Pub, Martini Grille, Route 66 Diner.
The pub on Central that was O'Neills, then Sigs and maybe O'neills again. Lee Ann -- ?
I hope it was one of these.

PS - Thanks for updating my list, Lee Ann. What a difference 2 years makes! There may be other changes too. I know there are some newer ones too but these were the tried and true for us.

This info is great! We're hoping to get to Ballon Fest in October and this will be a great help. In early 90s, we ate at a place our hotel recommended - Hacienda was in the name and it was in Corrales. Anyone know that restaurant and if it's still there?? It was very good.

66 Diner is it, most likely. We really like their food - good burgers, yummy desserts, etc. Mr. Pickle is a fan of their Route 66 Pileup.
There's also Route 66 Malt Shop, on Central near Old Town. It also looks diner-ish, and they have a smaller menu, but their food is wonderful. They make their own root beer, too.

I want to add a few comments: Yanni's (a Greek restaurant) is wonderful, The Range is really great with some of the best Chile Rellenos I have ever had and awesome desserts. The Church Street Cafe in Old Town, which is a favorite of the locals has a wonderful outdoor patio, but I got sick the last time I ate there and the owner could care less. It was definitely from the food cause it was the only food I ate all day, and when I called to let her know all I got was "Thanks for letting me know, I'll tell the chef". When I emailed twice afterwards, feeling like it wan't handles correctly, my emails went ignored. Horrible customer service.

I'm sorry to hear that, islandgirl. I've always had good food and service at Church Street Cafe.
Texasjo - if you're still here, I just noticed your question. Hacienda de Corrales is no longer in business, sorry.
It's true that there aren't a lot of good Chinese restaurants here, but I like Chow's Chinese Bistro (one on the east side and one at Cottonwood Mall) and East Ocean, on Carlisle near Comanche NE.
We've eaten a few times at Viet Taste on Menaul between San Mateo and San Pedro. It's reasonably priced, fresh, and delicious.

Lee Ann, Any restaurant is bound to have a bad day once in awhile. I have gone back to others that I got food poisoning from, but with Church Street, there was no compassion; not even an "I'm sorry". I should have been compensated, a gift certificate or something. And then to ignore my email???? How unprofessional! Any establishment can mess up, but it's the way it is handled that counts.

I just heard back from Church Street Cafe. The owner read my review and contacted me. She never got my emails, and is going to make it up to me. I don't see a way to edit my comments on this page. Does anyone know how to edit or remove a review? I cannot find a link for it on this site. Regardless, the owner did right and I am going to give them a second chance, cause other times I had gone there it was great.
