For a quiet lunch or dinner in the Heights, escape the endless cycle of Chinese buffet runs and sit down to a plate of pot stickers, or have a cup of hot and sour soup that delivers both hot and sour at the same time. The prices are reasonable, there is no open kitchen, and the chairs have plastic covers on them, thus eradicating the need for apologies when your kid’s

pork takes a nosedive. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review Really, it's all about the crust. A slice of pizza, no matter what its style, should stand on its own without the help of heaps of toppings. Venezia's New York-style slice ($2) does just that, right down to the last bit of carbohydrate crunch. You can add lots of the usual toppings (30 cents each) and some better-than-usual ones, like fresh garlic, fresh tomatoes and artichoke hearts. Thick-crusted, deep-dish, Sicilian-style pizza is available in one size, 12-inch by 16-inch ($12). The owner’s mother (who is from Italy) even gets in on the act with her famous marinara sauce; delicious, smooth-textured meatballs; chicken and eggplant Parmesan for heroes; and pasta dishes like meat lasagna and baked ziti. Open until 10 p.m. weekdays. (Alibi Staff, February 2, 2011) Add a Review With a name like this, is there any doubt what the dining future holds? It is truly the yummiest of houses with Korean and multiregional Chinese fare like Mongolian pork, oyster beef, almond chicken and green mussels in black bean sauce. Throw in some Mapo tofu and soybean paste noodles and there’s something for every taste. The crispy fried wontons stuffed with crab and cream cheese are well worth a trip to the Heights, and definitely order the “happy family.” It would mean a lot to us.

The truth of the matter is that you can't get full at Burger Boy for under nine bucks. But damned if it ain't worth every penny. We haven't figured out the secret yet, but Burger Boy serves up the most delicious green chile cheeseburger you'll ever put in your mouth—right up there with the original Owl Bar in San Antonio, N.M. Check out the tasty (and low-fat) ostrich burger or the tasty (and high-fat) Frito pie. It’s worth the drive and the dough!

Breakfast, lunch and dinner in a down-home atmosphere. Mostly New Mexican fare, and mostly tasty. The decor—works by local artists—won't always match your taste, but you can be certain that something on the menu will. Daily specials are usually the best bet and the standard American menu items (sandwiches, burgers, etc.) are perfectly worthy.

Some folks will tell you barbecue is a difficult thing to screw up. Not true. That’s the reason your own barbecue isn't as good as the stuff at Ribs. The portions are large, the grub has a good smoky essence to it and there's plenty to choose from. Not surprisingly, the ribs are ridiculous. Some of the very best barbecue in the area.
