Albuquerque - Food Truck
Europa Roaming Kitchen
Europa Roaming Kitchen: tasty food and friendly people. Could you ask for more than that? They serve paninis, gyros and a rotating menu of European treats you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in the city. Check them out at La Cumbre and Red Door Brewing, or hire them to cater your event. Follow them on Facebook to see where they’ll show up next.

Irrational Pie
Cuisine: Pizza
Irrational Pie supplies some of the best American-style pizza we’ve ever had. Our personal test to find good pizza is to order a Margherita pizza: It’s simple and just delicate enough to know if a chef knows what they’re doing, and time after time they’ve proved they have more than capable kitchen staff here. It’s a food truck, so they’ll likely be near you at some point during the week but if not, it’s worth seeking them out.

Soo Bak Food Truck
Soo Bak Food Truck’s tag line reads: “Korean Seoul Food”—an apt description of the innovative fusion of traditional Korean and New Mexican cuisine apparent in the dishes. You can get adventurous with the Korean chile cheese fries or stick with classic and deliciously light kimchi and rice. Vegetarians and meat-eaters alike will be pleased with the fresh mandu (veggie dumplings) or daeji bulgogi (spicy pork) tacos.

Lam's Chinese Restaurant
Certainly the place is small (though not as small as the Dog House, only about 10 blocks to the east) but it is amazingly bright and sparkly; most of all it is authentic; clothed in the red and golden tropes of Chinese-American culture that adds a rich texture to the American casual dining experience. Each plate’s presentation is simple yet pleasing—such as the sesame chicken, coated in a dark, luxurious sauce that features scattered snowpeas and is abundantly sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Albuquerque - Corrales
Flying Star Café
Sun-Thurs: 6am-10pm
Fri-Sat: 6am-11pm (hours can change without notice)
$$ • Vegetarian Available • Gluten-free available • Booze Served • Craft Beer • Wine • Catering • Take Out / To-Go • Wireless Internet • Dog-Friendly
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.

Ichiban Japanese Restaurant
Lunch: Mon-Sat 11am-3pm,
Dinner: Sun 4:30pm-9pm, Mon-Thurs 5pm-9pm, Fri-Sat 5pm-10 pm (hours can change without notice)
Whether you’re a certified sushi lover or have never tried the stuff before, Ichiban can make you a roll you’ll love. Heck, they even make vegetarian rolls that aren’t half bad. Their lunch specials are a reasonably-priced way to try several different things on the menu at once. Ask the server to recommend some sake and make sure you try the yellowtail roll.

Il Vicino
Sun-Thu 11am-11pm
Fri-Sat 11am-midnight (hours can change without notice)
Il Vicino’s thin-crusted, gourmet-topped pizzas are perennial favorites among Alibi readers, but the big salads are equally popular. Order at the register and a server brings the food to your table, making weekday lunches speedy. The open kitchen gives you something to stare at while you wait. Stop in for a quick lunch or a late afternoon microbrew on the patio.

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
$ • Vegetarian Available • Gluten-free available • Take Out / To-Go • Outdoor Patio • Wireless Internet
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.

Thai Kitchen
Mon-Fri 11am-3pm, 4:30-ppm; Sat noon-9pm (hours can change without notice)
Cuisine: Thai
At the crossroads of the far North Valley and the Westside sits Thai Kitchen. From the outside looking in, hanging out at the end of an average-looking strip mall, it’s an easy place to overlook. That would be a mistake. The egg rolls are top-notch, and the spicy Jungle noodles with beef are out of this world! We highly recommend that you go and thai something new at this warm little joint.

Albuquerque - Downtown
2G's Bistro
Mon-Fri 8am-4pm
Sat 8am-3pm (hours can change without notice)
If you’re in the mood for generous portions of house-roasted meats in a simple setting, 2G’s Bistro is the place to go. What are these meats, you ask? Get a taste in the form of a rueben, French dip, pulled pork slider, carne lunch burrito and more. Plus they have a $5 kids’ menu.

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.

AmerAsia & Sumo Sushi
Dim Sum Mon-Sat 11am-2pm
Dim Sum Fri 5:30-8:30pm
Sushi Mon-Fri 11am-2pm, Sat 12-2pm
Sushi Mon-Sat 5:00-9:30pm
Closed Sun (hours can change without notice)
$$ • Vegetarian Available • Gluten-free available • Booze Served • Catering • Take Out / To-Go • Outdoor Patio
Dim sum and sushi under the same roof? It's like a dream come true. The beautiful interior of the antique filling station just east of the federal courthouse is a marked change from the cozy home interior of where AmerAsia used to reside near the university. Hyangami Yi's food is just as good as ever. Expect her familiar dim sum plates and buns, and feel free to order sushi like you've never had in this town from her brother Woo Youn. He's got all the usual sashimi and nigiri in his adjoining restaurant, but it's the original, creative rolls that really set Sumo apart—that, and the adorable little train that ferries your pickled ginger around the sushi bar.
