Driving north on Wyoming from the freeway, you can’t help but notice this grocery-cum-café’s vibrantly painted building. Inside, you can nibble on Middle Eastern fare ranging from kabobs to hummus to herbed tabouleh. Everything is made fresh to order. Vegetarians will appreciate the meat-free selections.

Closed Monday (subject to change)
After a hiatus, Dagmar’s has come back to us in a new Northeast Heights location. One enthusiastic reader called us up to rave about Dagmar’s deliciously authentic German cuisine. Whether it’s a full German breakfast with
jagerschnitzel
the size of a baby’s arm, German rye bread and
späetzle
, or a big honkin’ breakfast burrito, the food here is "big, affordable and fantastic!" If warm apple strudel is one of your favorite things, then you're in luck—they've got that in abundance, too.

Taste a little bit of each so you can pick out your favorite before taking home a pound of chocolatey bliss and a dozen buttermilk, raised or cake donuts. There are cinnamon rolls on the weekend, too. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) View/Add Reviews [ 1 ]
Back after the fire in a new location! Sometimes we in New Mexico ignore Mexican food because we get enough enchiladas and salsa at restaurants that serve local cuisine. But when you crave true Mexican food like mole and fish tacos, you’ll need to head to someplace like El Norteño. Outside it sure looks like Albuquerque, but inside it tastes just like Mexico.

Fratelli's reincarnation revives the menu and familiar decor from the former Lomas deli with oven-baked subs, pasta platters, pizza, and their popular calzones. Add a side salad or a Fratelli antipasto to complete your meal or sample the pastries and donuts (made fresh daily). (Alibi Staff, October 29, 2012) Add a Review If it’s salt-of-the-earth, tried-and-true New Mexican favorites you’re after, hit up a Garcia’s in your area. It has daily specials, breakfast anytime and even a "
gringo
menu" that’ll fill you up without depleting your wallet. The huevos rancheros with green chile will leave you licking the plate and contemplating seconds. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review If the café’s mural of French street life doesn't quite make you forget that you're in an Albuquerque strip mall, closing your eyes and tasting a flaky blueberry cheese croissant might. If the croissant doesn't work, try some petits fours. Le Chantilly was voted Best French Pastries in Albuquerque, after all. But if sweets aren’t doing it for you, maybe you need something savory: Perhaps one of the daily lunch special sandwiches and a cup of espresso will do it?

Well, aloha! Artificial palm trees and beach murals wrap around elevated booths that look over tables with wicker chairs—there’s even a tiki bar and walls paneled in bamboo. Fittingly, Pacific Paradise serves up diverse cuisine from all around the Ring of Fire, Asia and Hawaii. And the tropical ice creams are fantastic. Mild and almost savory, the avocado ice cream is a calming end to a large meal, while the plum wine ice cream is light and slightly tart with chewy pieces of fruit.

A tiny, L-shaped Mexican joint with a tiny, tempting menu of tacos, tostadas and more. Order a ceviche tostada and some
tacos al pastor
and you’ll feel like you’re sitting on the beach of a coastal Mexican getaway. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review  San Pedro Mart Middle East Grocery & RestaurantGrocery: M-S - 7am to 10pm

Mohamad Jalil and Bilal Omar opened Middle East Restaurant as a grocery with just a few tables in 2009. Their in-house bakery produces fresh breads daily. The dining area is canopied, giving the space the feel of a desert ramada. Two rows of booths lead to a traditional dining room for private parties. The menu boasts some of the best falafel and shawarma sandwiches around. Perfectly spiced, the combos include a beverage and a piece of rich, buttery baklava. A dark Arabic coffee is Jalil’s own blend, enhanced with a touch of cardamom. Jalil, Omar and Ebramem Kahla all cook the traditional dishes with flavor to spare. At the grocery, you can take home halal marshmallows with your halal meats. (Alibi Staff, May 20, 2011) Add a Review Satellite serves up coffee but also burritos, quiches, desserts and pastries. This is a good choice if you’re hungry late. It’s open until 11 p.m. every night.

Venerable northeast heights “gentleman’s club.” (Alibi Staff, December 23, 2010) Add a Review The menu at Thai Tip is extensive, with pages and pages of noodles, curries and stir-fried dishes. The spicy and sour
thom yum
soup (served over a flaming Sterno) is as delicious as its presentation promises; the brightly colored green bean curry is fantastic. Fans of Thai food will not be disappointed. Winners of Best Undiscovered Restaurant and Best Mom and Pop Restaurant in

Fri – Sat 11am-2am,
Sun 11am-Midnight (subject to change) Cuisine: Bar and Grill/Pub $$ • Booze Served • Full Bar • Craft Beer • NM Beer • Outdoor Patio • Wireless Internet • Dog-Friendly
The space has high ceilings that remind us of a ski lodge bar, with an upscale feeling but less colorful sweaters. You'd never know it shares a wall with Uptown Sports Bar. ABQ Brew Pub’s kitchen boasts black cultured mussels in court-bouillon fumé, steaks with Chimayó chile rub and cheesecake with crème de cassis sauce. Ten taps host Sierra Blanca / Rio Grande offerings, available in 10-, 16-, or 22-ounce glasses ($3.25, $4 and $5.50). Four-ounce samplers go for $1 each. All the sizes fit nicely on high-tech, built-in coasters that keep drinks frosty. (Alibi Staff, December 23, 2010) Add a Review Add a Review Cake Fetish is a boutique bakery with a singular passion for cupcakes (it won Best Cupcakes in the 2010 Best of Burque Restaurants poll). Not only that, the shop makes teeny, tiny cupcakes—dense, two-bite buttons of cake, so you can comfortably troll through 30 flavor concepts like "Velvet Elvis," red-velvet cake with cream cheese icing; or the minty, dark-chocolate grasshopper, mounded with fluffy French buttercream. This is one instance where you can have your cake and eat it, too. Regular-sized cupcakes also available.

This place is a dive. And we mean that in a good way—unpretentious and broken-in like a favorite pair of scuffed boots. The cozily dim restaurant (front) and bar (back) are separated by a kitchen that services both rooms with Charlie’s signature New Mexican-American fare. Roll up your sleeves for delicious sour cream-chicken enchiladas and enormous, juicy burgers; then order a round of Bud Light for your blue-collar buddies. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review We love this strange little place with aggressively retro décor, like super ’70s wood paneling. Cool. Plus, they serve New York deli stuff like bagels with lox and cream cheese, and a club with dill Havarti on rye bread. Our favorite option is the salad trio—you get to pick from Caesar, Greek, apple Waldorf, pasta, potato, fruit, tuna, chicken or egg salads, and it comes with a roll. Wash it down with a Dr. Brown's soda. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review |
