Albuquerque - Downtown
Tucanos Brazilian Grill
Mon-Thu: 11am-10pm
Fri-Sat: 11am-11pm
Sun: 11am-9pm (hours can change without notice)
Meat, meat, meat. All-you-can-eat meat. And then there's the salad bar. This joint’s got more dead meat than you can shake a chunk of meat on a stick at. From the kill to the grill, Tucanos makes all your dreams come true. That is, if you dream about meaty hunks of marinated flesh sliced right at your table. This lively, busy and fun Brazilian-themed restaurant next to the Century 14 movie theater is open late.

Albuquerque - Fairgrounds
The Cooperage
Mon-Fri: 11am-2:30pm, 5pm-10pm
Sat: noon-2:30pm, 5pm-10pm
Sun: noon-9pm (hours can change without notice)
The Cooperage is old-school Albuquerque, right down to the dusty light fixtures. The barrel-shaped steakhouse has been a standby for 30 years thanks to its mile-long complimentary salad and soup bar, aged steaks (at a place like this, prime rib is king) and a big dance floor that’s always packed on the weekends.

Albuquerque - Far Northeast Heights
Saffron Tiger
Don’t get turned off by Saffron Tiger’s cafeteria style of service. It’s a local restaurant that’s fast in the sense that you order quickly, but this is classic Indian cuisine prepared the traditional way. There are plenty of vegetable-based and vegetarian choices—golden lentil soup is a standout, and don’t pass on the paneer dishes. For meat eaters, the lamb curry (made with local, kosher meat) is as decadent as any dish you’ll find anywhere, served in a brown gravy that’s full of disintegrated potatoes and the occasional green fleck of fresh herbs.

Tomato Cafe
$ • Vegetarian Available • Booze Served • Wine Bar • Craft Beer • Wine • Delivery • Catering • Take Out / To-Go • Wireless Internet
One of you wants pizza, another insists on soup and salad, the third won’t eat anything but pasta. Don’t waste time fighting; just get on over to Tomato Cafe. It’s quick, inexpensive and all-you-can-eat. Those aren’t usually words you’d use to describe genuinely good food but the pizza here is. Super-thin-crusted and topped with things like feta, basil, barbecued chicken and artichoke hearts, it’s a dream come true (except for Chicago-style fans).

Albuquerque - Midtown
Taj Mahal
Sun-Thu 11am-2:30pm, 5-9:30
Fri-Sat 11am-2:30pm, 5-10pm (hours can change without notice)
Taj Mahal has some killer naan. In fact, you’ll probably ditch your fork in favor of this edible utensil, using it to scoop up mounds of delicately textured, beautifully sauced and aromatic Indian food. Wash it down with not-too-sweet hot chai, which is frequently replenished at no extra cost by the attentive service. For dessert, don’t miss the refreshing mango custard.

Albuquerque - Nob Hill
Korean BBQ House and Sushi & Sake
Mon- Thu 11:30 am-9:30pm
Fri-Sat 11:30am-10pm
Sun 4pm -9pm
Closed Daily 2:30pm-4:30pm (hours can change without notice)
Sit out on the pretty patio, and your server will help you cook your dinner on the built-in grills. They’ll also show you how to wrap your spicy grilled meat or seafood in herb and lettuce leaves. For a full course of fine lunchtime cuisine, try the tofu kimchi appetizer, ginger tea and spicy chicken box plate. Nothing in Nob Hill goes down better. Go big on the appetizer list for the taste, but if you're cutting costs, the box plate menu offers more than enough chow for a starving midday appetite. And it's worth every penny. Also, Nob Hill’s newest sushi bar (behind Korean BBQ House) offers all-you-can-eat sushi for $18 at lunch and $23 at dinner. Ordering á la carte is always allowed, but if you’re going for the all-you-can-eat, you’ve got two pages full of options and an hour in which to explore them. Edamame, tempura, miso soup, rolls, hand rolls and a small selection of nigiri are all fair game.

Luigi’s Restaurant & Pizzeria
Sun-Thurs: 11am-9pm
Fri-Sat: 11am-10pm (hours can change without notice)
$$ • Vegetarian Available • Gluten-free available • Delivery • Catering • Take Out / To-Go • Outdoor Patio
Luigi and his mom, Tina, do all of the Italian cooking themselves at this North Valley staple. Try the pasta dishes with a variety of family recipe sauces or the veal and seafood specialties, then top it all off with a fresh cannoli or a slice of homemade tiramisu. (There’s also New York-style and Sicilian pizzas and calzones.) Luigi’s dishes out a daily all-you-can-eat buffet (along with an all-you-can-eat spaghetti special for lunch) and a seafood buffet on Friday evenings. Cap it all off with a fresh espresso and, believe us, you won't leave hungry.

Sushi Gen
The service here is warm and the food is good, especially if you go the all-you-can-eat route. We’re pleased with the freshness of the fish (especially the silky-smooth mackerel) and the generous size of the rolls.

Taaj Palace
Outside is a strip mall, but Taaj Palace’s interior is understated elegance. Hit the buffet for various curries that are tolerably piquant (go for the goat) and fresh naan that’s soft and chewy. Returning for dinner, the saag paneer is thick and creamy, infused with a lingering zest that warms the mouth but doesn’t overstay its welcome. The samosas (fried patties stuffed with tender potato) have a nice kick to them, and tandoori chicken, pulled from hot ovens, displays a delicate spice and moistness (as all Taaj’s meats do). Wash your marathon meal down with a mango lassi on ice.

Albuquerque - Westside
Mimmo’s Ristorante & Pizzeria
Mon-Thurs: 11am-9pm
Fri-Sat: 11am-10pm
Sun: 11am-9pm (hours can change without notice)
A New York-Italian setting so authentic, Don Corleone would feel comfortable. Co-owner Sal Cerami has compiled a simple list that’s better than those found at most small Italian restaurants. It won’t win a Wine Spectator Award, but that’s not his goal. Cerami’s love and excitement for wine is contagious as he mills around the tables selling bottles of Chianti. The real treat is having him personally recommend your wine—somehow, Cerami always finds a hidden jewel stashed away, as though he were saving it just for you.
