  | Restaurants in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico serving Breakfast AlbuquerqueA New Mexico tradition since 1952! For a quick, award-winning (for both Best Burger and Best French Fries) burger or chili dog, fresh fries and fountain favorites that hit the spot for just a pocketful of change, it’s got to be Blake’s. Countless counters are scattered throughout the city, and each is a model of efficiency and cleanliness. Why look any further? They’re easy to spot from afar—just keep an eye out for the giant Asian Uncle Sam sign. This one even has a drive-through. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) A New Mexico tradition since 1952!

New Mexican food in the Garduño’s vein—plus burgers and booze—in a bucolic valley setting. In fact, El Bruno’s does indeed occupy the site (and, one might assume, the demographic) of the former North Valley Garduño’s. (Alibi Staff, April 10, 2013)  Flying Star CaféSun-Thurs: 6am-10pm
Fri-Sat: 6am-11pm (hours can change without notice)
Winner of Best Casual Dining, Best Veggie Burger, Best Toast, Best Healthy Breakfast and Best Desserts in our restaurant polls. Sure, you go in thinking you’ll be good and get a skinny latte, scrambled egg whites and a side of turkey and green chile sausage, but five minutes later somebody’s saying “eclair” and the voice is coming from your mouth. But, boy, do they taste good. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Guava Tree CafeMon-Fri: 9 am-4 pm / Sat-Sun: 11 am-3 pm (hours can change without notice) Cuisine: Caribbean/Cuban, Coffee/Tea/Espresso, Cuban, Deli/Sandwiches, Dessert, Ice Cream/Smoothies, South American
Here, you can eat one of the best green chile burgers in the state of New Mexico. Laguna Burger doesn’t offer much in the way of atmosphere, but more than makes up for it in sheer flavor. (Alibi Staff, October 10, 2012) Little Anita's menu is New Mexican to the core, with enchiladas, burritos,
carne adovada
and stuffed sopaipillas. The red chile is generally milder than their green but is seasoned just right. Consistency, generous portions and fair prices make Little Anita's an Albuquerque mainstay—not to mention its many locations ranging from full-service dining to quick and easy take-out counters. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Loyola's Family RestaurantTues-Fri: 6am-2pm
Sat: 6am-1pm
Sun: 7am-1pm
Closed Monday (hours can change without notice)
If you spend just one Saturday morning at Loyola’s, we swear you’ll leave feeling like a regular. And at that point, you probably will be. The food is down-home good and the service is friendly and fast. Wander in for the awesome late ’60s diner atmosphere and stay for the pancakes—they’re made fresh to order and heaped up with genuine love. But you can’t go after 2 p.m. or on Mondays. They’ll be closed. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Rey's place Mexican RestaurantMon to Fri 7 am-3 pm

Satellite serves up not only coffee but also burritos, quiches, desserts and pastries. This is a good choice if you’re hungry late. It’s open until at least 10:00 p.m. most nights. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Albuquerque - Downtown Barelas Coffee HouseMon-Fri 7:30am-3pm
Sat 7:30am-2:30pm
Closed Sunday (hours can change without notice) Cuisine: New Mexican
You’d better get to Barelas early on Saturday morning if you don’t want to wait in line for a table. This homey New Mexican joint is popular, and though it’s much bigger inside than you can tell from the street, regulars pack the place tighter than a tamale. Barelas is known for huevos rancheros, and they are tasty here, slathered in particularly good red chile and served on a fresh flour tortilla. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) This cute, Italian-styled café is tucked
between Gold Street Caffé and P’tit Louis Bistro in one of Downtown’s most desirable dining districts
. The rest of the place follows suit with
bello
hand-pressed espresso (tea, too), panini and other Euro-centric treats. (Alibi Staff, July 12, 2011)  Café LushMon-Fri 7am-3pm

Closed Sunday (hours can change without notice) Read more: Locovore: Café Lush for life (11/10/2011)
Café Lush is like a daydream of the way things might be in some future hybrid of Europe and Albuquerque. It’s an urban café on a quiet street corner, with a small menu of simple yet well-crafted dishes and a pledge to use local, seasonal and organic ingredients whenever possible. But unlike in Europe, the red and green chile won’t disappoint. (Alibi Staff, November 17, 2011) This little restaurant clings close to the heart of Downtown on Sixth Street and Silver, and the food is actually made by Cecilia herself in the kitchen. The tacos, burritos and enchiladas are traditional, tasty and pretty friggin’ cheap, too. The red chile packs a wallop, and Cecilia’s is even open on Sundays. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Chicharroneria OrozcoMon-Thu 7 am - 8 pm

Chile Bowl7am-3pm Monday-Friday
8am-3pm Saturday-Sunday (hours can change without notice) Cuisine: New Mexican
Throw down about $6 at this New Mexican joint and you’ll get more red chile pork stew than you can eat in two sittings (we know, we tried). Make it $9 and a plate of carne adovada taquitos will fill your belly with a flavorful Southwestern zing, and they’ll be accompanied by some of the best sopaipillas in town (and real honey to douse them in). The place, tucked into a quiet strip center off of Fourth Street, is a bit hard to find, but well worth the effort. (Alibi Staff, January 30, 2014)
Winner of Best Casual Dining, Best Veggie Burger, Best Toast, Best Healthy Breakfast and Best Desserts in our 2008 restaurant poll. Sure, you go in thinking you’ll be good and get a skinny latte, scrambled egg whites and a side of turkey and green chile sausage, but five minutes later somebody’s saying “eclair” and the voice is coming from your mouth.
