Restaurants in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico with Wireless Internet
Albuquerque - Coronado/Winrock
Slapfish
Cuisine: Seafood
I know what you’re thinking: a seafood shack in the desert? How on earth could this be any good? But it truly is. Slapfish prides itself in sourcing fish from sustainable farms and fishers, which means that what’s in your taco is pretty high caliber stuff. Their fish and chips are as greasily satisfying as you could want, and the ultimate fish taco (famously large enough you’ll need both hands to eat it) tastes like a surf trip down to Baja. Crack a couple cold ones on their patio and dig into the catch of the day.

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.

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.

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 keeps the lunch crowd on its toes.

Brixens
Sun-Thu 11am-midnight

With everything all shiny and new, you may feel overwhelmed on entry but allow the friendly staff guide you to your table and own little slice of heaven. While the menu is on the concise side, all the dishes here are executed to perfection. While you wait, watch the game or play a game—a board game, that is! With all the hubbub happening at night Downtown, this is a perfectly chill place to escape for a drink or two.

If you’re looking for something light and fresh, try Conchita’s weekly five-dollar salad special or a six-dollar daily special such as the meatball sub. Other fantastic fresh dishes include a strawberry salad, a quinoa wrap and a taco plate. Sandwiches are a great choice here, too.

Dialogue Brewing
Mon-Wed 4pm-midnight, Thu-Sun noon-midnight (hours can change without notice)
$$ • Vegetarian Available • Booze Served • Craft Beer • Wine • Cider • Live Music • DJ • Outdoor Patio • Wireless Internet • Dog-Friendly
This indoor-outdoor brewery is as cozy as it is fun. The bartenders are friendly and informative, and you’ll even find the smiling owners working the taps. The identifying feature of the outdoor patio are metal towers that stretch high above the building. Enjoy Asian fusion cuisine from resident food truck Kitsune or order a pizza made in the wood-fired oven.

Espresso Fino
Cozy but not cramped and comfy without excess, Espresso Fino is a gem of a coffee shop tucked into a narrow building Downtown. One (really nice) man runs the register and espresso machine, working fast but managing a perfect pour each time. Order an espresso and get snug near their small communal library or sit outside and watch traffic on Gold pass by. Whether you need a quick fix or have hours to fill, Espresso Fino is an ideal spot for a personalized cup of very fine joe.

The Grove Café & Market
Sun: 8am-3pm
Mon: Closed
Tues-Sat: 7am-3pm (hours can change without notice)
$$$ • Vegetarian Available • Booze Served • Wine Bar • Craft Beer • Wine • Catering • Outdoor Patio • Wireless Internet • Dog-Friendly
This ray of sunshine in EDo serves gourmet breakfast and lunch, sells house-made English muffins and even has a mini-shop filled with goodies like honey, jams, mustards and vinegars, not to mention cookbooks, serving vessels and greeting cards. The tiny wine list is just as chic—five reds and five whites marked on a chalkboard and constantly changing. This list is well thought-out and offers some of the most esoteric varietals and brands available in town. There’s also a large, shady patio, incredible house-made cupcakes and adorable macarons.

Cuisine: Coffee/Tea/Espresso, Deli/Sandwiches, Dessert, Diner, Organic/Locally Grown, Take Out/To-Go
$ • Vegetarian Available • Gluten-free available • Booze Served • Delivery • Catering • Take Out / To-Go • Outdoor Patio • Wireless Internet • Lounge
Hartford Square’s menu changes weekly but always features quality, locally sourced ingredients in dine-in and take-out options. The salads are stocked with fresh, seasonal ingredients, and there are always a few hot options such as the Canadian salmon or ratatouille pot pie. The tea selection is simply divine. Try the Sandia spice tea over ice, a steaming cup of an herbal-blood orange blend or go for broke with a vanilla tea latte. Get here early enough, and you’ll get first crack at the crossword in the house copy of the New York Times.

Humble Coffee
Cuisine: Coffee/Tea/Espresso
You already know and love Humble Coffee. While their Lomas location is a home to coffee nerds, first dates and laptop nomads alike, their new Downtown spot provides all that plus a lot more space to stretch out. Get yourself a breakfast burrito and a single-origin cuppa, then find a spot on the ziggurat bleachers out back. (Go and you’ll see what we mean.)

Java Joe’s
$ • Vegetarian Available • Catering • Take Out / To-Go • Live Music • Outdoor Patio • Wireless Internet
Java Joe’s boasts a cool ’60s Haight-Ashbury feel but isn’t jam-packed with hippies or anything. It attracts a diverse crowd of cyclists, artists, musicians, hipsters and even grown-ups simply searching for a good cup of joe (albeit one made with house-roasted beans). From freshly baked scones and waffles to sandwiches and salads, the menu is simple and satisfying. Warning: Joe’s breakfast burritos may cause you to audibly but the regulars here will totally get it.

There are no TVs here, but there’s always plenty to look at.

Lindy’s Diner
We love Lindy’s retro décor, convenient Downtown location and $5 pitchers of beer. The food here is typical diner fare with a healthy number of New Mexican and Greek specialties thrown into the mix and served in hearty portions.

MÁS Tapas y Vino
Mon-Sat: 7am-10pm
Sun: 7am-9pm (hours can change without notice)
Cuisine: Spanish
As its name reveals, the focus of this restaurant is tapas—dainty plates of beautifully presented succulent morsels. And, as you may have guessed, there’s vino aplenty. Best of all, though, is the space, inside historic, renovated Hotel Andaluz. We recommend trying a glass of sherry with a plate of assorted Spanish cheeses.
