Amazing food and coffee in the Old Town area! Only open for breakfast and lunch. Traditional New Mexico options as well as French and American. I love the Croque Madame and the Pancakes with Apples and Brie. Scott loves the Carne Adovada Burrito. All of the homemade baked goods are yummy too. But, if you're not planning to visit Old Town anyway, save it for next time; the traffic is a mess with the road construction.

They have good quality meats and acceptable produce. Much more expensive than Walmart and not as convenient, but if we're buying meat, we'll go out of our way.
