Corrales - Food Truck
Fresh, A Mobile Bistro
Sun 9am-2pm, Wed-Fri 10 am-9pm, Sat 9am-9pm; Make reservations (hours can change without notice)
Magically nestled inside a 1955 Fageol Twin Coach bus is a French fine dining restaurant with gold cutlery, burgundy cloth napkins, handpainted wood paneling and soft European cafe music. The price and menu are fixed for the month, but the $50 per person price tag seems like nothing after six courses of delectable food made with fresh, local ingredients. There’s even a waiter, and you can see Chef John Young cooking in the back third of the bus. Reservations required.

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.

Little Anita's
Tues-Sat: 7am-8pm
Sun-Mon: 7am-2pm (hours can change without notice)
Cuisine: New Mexican
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.

Satellite Coffee

Satellite serves up not only coffee but also burritos, sandwiches, desserts and pastries. This is a good choice if you need a quick pick-me-up or you’re hungry late--it’s open until at least 9pm most nights. We recommend the black velvet which is a vanilla coffee with five shots of espresso.

Al’s Big Dipper
Mon-Fri: 7:30am-4pm
Closed weekends (hours can change without notice)
Al’s still serves a hefty menu of inspired hot and cold sandwiches. There’s an emphasis on homemade touches, from the sweet onion jam on the roast beef sandwich to the cookie that comes with every order. Good salads, daily made-from-scratch soups and a new sandwich special every day keep the lunch crowd on its toes.

Baca Boys Cafe
Cuisine: New Mexican
Baca Boys Café happened to appear practically out of nowhere. That’s when the ZS & T’s Diner, near San Mateo and Menaul, pulled up stakes and headed for a more promising parcel in the middle of all that action happening Downtown. The lunch offerings, including enchiladas with steak and calabacitas, are awesome and the bright, family-style vibe adds to the join’s Nuevo Mexicano authenticity. The dessert is tremendous, a perfect summation of an overwhelmingly positive gastronomic adventure.

Barelas Coffee House
Mon-Fri 7:30am-3pm
Sat 7:30am-2:30pm
Closed Sun (hours can change without notice)
Cuisine: New Mexican
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 tamal. Barelas is known for huevos rancheros, and they are tasty here, slathered in particularly good red chile and served with a fresh flour tortilla.

Café Lush
Mon-Fri 7am-2:30pm
Sat 8am-1pm
Closed Sun (hours can change without notice)
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.

Cecilia’s Café
Cecilia is the matriarch of one of Albuquerque’s best breakfast burritos and red chile. Clinging close to the heart of Downtown on Sixth Street and Silver, Cecilia makes the food herself in the kitchen. The red chile is no joke and the prices are pretty friggin’ cheap, too.

Espresso Fino
Cozy without feeling crowded and comfortable without all the trappings, Espresso Fino is a gem of a coffee shop tucked into a narrow building Downtown. A single man (but seriously, a really, really nice one) runs the register and espresso machine, working quickly but still managing a perfect pour every time. Order up your espresso and get snug near the small communal library or sit outside and watch the traffic on Gold pass by. Whether you need a quick fix or you have hours to spend, Espresso Fino is the ideal spot for a personalized cup of very fine joe.

In this cozy cafe, a small crew serves top-notch, freshly made and locally sourced foods to Albuquerque's hungry brunch crowd. It may seem like there’s a delay on tour order—but believe us—it’s worth wating for.
