  | BernalilloAntojitos Lupe is the Bernalillo cousin of Lupe’s Antojitos in the Southeast Albuquerque. This one is installed in the corner of a gas station convenience store on Camino del Pueblo: You walk through the convenience store to get to the restaurant. Once inside, the Central Mexican menu includes three types of
molcajetes
, a specialty of Mexico City that presents an entire meal served in a stone mortar. Lamb barbacoa is cooked for hours until it barely clings to the bone, its drippings cooked into a brothy consommé. There are several caldos that could bring the dead back to life, including a chicken soup rivaling mom’s. And for you
marineros
, there’s even excellent ceviche and fried, whole tilapia. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review Bad Ass CoffeeCuisine: Coffee/Tea/Espresso

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. But, boy, do they taste good. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review
When you enter La Casita in Bernalillo, you’re greeted with a pair of chile-shaped chalkboards announcing the strengths of the red and green that day. And if they say something is hot at La Casita, they mean it. Posole, tamales (green-chile chicken or red-chile pork) in sweet masa, enchiladas—it’s all down-home and
bueno
. To go along with La Casita’s New Mexican offerings, there’s even a New Mexican wine list. Or if staying in is on the menu, La Casita’s family-size takeout is one of the best bargains going. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010) Add a Review
Not only do these people serve thick, meaty bacon, dreamy globs of queso and hot, buttery biscuits—because that would most certainly be enough on its own—but The Range Café in Bernalillo also happens to keep things interesting at night. Step into their Lizard Rodeo Lounge for free live music three or four nights a week, a full-service bar, nice atmosphere and a fine BLT. Thank you, Range people.

Ruby’s Tortilleria is a small hut in the corner of a large gravel parking lot on Camino del Pueblo in Bernalillo. It’s in the heart of New Mexico but completely south of the border in spirit. If the phone cards, paletas and corrido CDs don't give it away, the green tomatillo salsa should. On weekends Ruby's turns the dining service up a notch, serving tamales and menudo. Though spiced simply, the barbacoa is rich, soft and full of complexity. For 10 bucks you get a pound of meat plus an assortment of salsas, chopped onions and cilantro, grated cabbage, and lime wedges. Pints of red and tomatillo green are sold in tied-off baggies for $1.25 each. The order comes with a stack of fresh corn tortillas, but consider buying a kilo more for $2.25. With the proper reinforcements, that pound of meat will multiply into a lot of juicy tacos. (Alibi Staff, June 21, 2012) Add a Review |
