Eating in ABQ
 

We will have 1 night to have a delicious meal in ABQ. Would love New Mexico or Southwestern food. Price ~$100 for 2 if that's doable. Suggestions? Thank you!

You should be fine with that budget.

We don't go out for New Mexican food that often, but if you're here on a weekend, Mary and Tito's on 4th St. has great food and they're open until 8:00.

Monroe's is pretty good, though it's been a while since we've eaten there.

Sadie's, on 4th St., and El Pinto, way north on 4th St., are popular with a lot of people.

Hopefully someone else will chime in with more suggestions.

An odd thing - the best New Mexican restaurants tend not to be the fanciest or priciest. They also do as good a lunch as dinner.
These are in order of my preference:
Zacatecas
El Pinto
Cocina Azul
Sadies
Mary and Tito's [only open til 6 pm]
Casa de Benavidez
Zacatecas

Here are some favorites, not necessarily SW or NM:

Artichoke Cafe
Farina's [same owners as above]
Seasons
Scalos
Farm and Table
Elaine's
Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm
Jennifer James 101

Mary & Tito's til 8pm on Friday and Saturday, closed Sunday.

Thanks! I think that gives us lots of choices. Will check them out. Not sure what day we will be there.
