Authentic New Mexican (not Mexican) food with great service. Try the Chile Con Queso for your appetizer! High recommend the de Marcos, de Antoinette or de Los Quates to get samplings of New Mexico favorites. You will have enough left over to take for your lunch the next day!

Drinks & Nightlife
It's a bar, it's a nightclub, it's a comedy joint, and it's a music venue! Patrons request and dedicate songs. Singing along is part of the experience. So much fun and laughter. This is an absolute GREAT time. HINT: they do not serve food but allow you to order food to be delivered or you can bring your own.

Take the 15 minute ride the tram up to the top of Sandia Peak for spectacular views of Albuquerque and 11,000 square miles of the surrounding area. There is a new restaurant at the top: Ten 3 (referencing the 10,300 ft. elevation). We have not eaten there yet but we hear it is quite good. HINT: time your trip so you go up a half hour before sunset. From the top, you can watch the sunset and the lights of Albuquerque coming to life, giving you will have a different experience each way. Also, get your tickets online to save time and secure your time slot.
