  | Far Northeast Heights Restaurants in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico Albuquerque - Far Northeast HeightsTheobroma ChocolatierMon-Sat: 10am-6pm
Closed Sunday (subject to change)
There may be times in your life when chocolate seems like your only friend. But look at what a good friend chocolate has been. It covers pretzels for you. It makes truffles for you. And you never have to wonder if it really loves you, because it always does. Floor-to-ceiling shelves boast gift baskets and bags, chocolate sculptures and molded items, giant "kisses," and sugar-free assortments. A chilled candy case shimmers with an assortment of chocolate truffles, creams and caramels sold by the piece. The counter is heaped with our favorite items, mostly chocolate poured over salty, crunchy things like pretzels, popcorn, nuts and cookies. Also, look for chocolate-covered strawberries and Taos Cow ice cream in eight flavors. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review Add a Review
Gobbling down a perfect Belgian waffle with homemade strawberry sauce, you might see this restaurant’s founder, Tim Harris, sitting with a table full of diners. (Besides having a knack for people, he’s won dozens of medals in Special Olympics track and field, hockey, and basketball.) Tim’s menu is New Mexican home cooking with a twist—green chile cheese grits, burritos, huevos and omelets for breakfast; sandwiches, burgers, salads, enchiladas and a daily homemade cobbler for lunch. Generous portions are all comfortably below the $10 mark, and the hugs are always free. (Alibi Staff, June 14, 2012) Add a Review New location! One of you wants pizza, another insists on soup and salad, the third won’t eat anything but pasta. Don’t waste time fighting; just get on over to Tomato Cafe. It’s quick, inexpensive and all-you-can-eat. Those aren’t usually words you’d use to describe genuinely good food but the pizza here is. Super-thin-crusted and topped with things like feta, basil, barbecued chicken and artichoke hearts, it’s a dream come true (except for Chicago-style fans).

Fri: 11am-10:30pm
Sat: 3-10:30pm
Sun: 3-9pm (subject to change) Cuisine: Italian
Trombino's Bistro Italiano has been an institution of family-style Italian dining in the Heights for almost 30 years. It houses an impressively fat menu that includes a full bar, espresso drinks and an ample wine list. The service is quicker than a Hollywood marriage, and the waitstaff seems particularly knowledgeable about the food and wines. Gravitate to the more rustic Italian fare—lemon-basil chicken salad, grilled homemade Italian sausage or meatballs, prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, and manicotti are amply portioned and tasty.

Until recently, we had not discovered your bottomless drinks, your enormous coffee cakes and your sausage and bacon gravy? How we long to return for another “bowl o’ stuff” filled with hash browns, carne adovada, red chile and an over-easy egg. How we dream at night of your belly-bustin’ biscuits and gravy. How stupid we were to have ignored you for so long! (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review Whole Hog CafeSun - Tue 11:00am - 8:00pm

Gyros, souvlaki,
taramosalata
, roast chicken and potatoes, leg of lamb, lentil soup—the menu at Zorba’s rings familiar, and no wonder. The family behind Zorba’s is the same that opened the Olympia Café near UNM more than 35 years ago. But here, in the Far Northeast Heights, you’ll notice a long, expanded list of dishes, including more seafood and desserts, plus a lot of elbow room and a generous patio.
