Do you know any great spots to eat in New Mexico? Let us know in the comments below!
Hi Adam and Madalyn, the best spots in Albuquerque for home made from scratch are - El Modelo, their tamales and carne adovada are second to none. Also, Pereas , a small mom and pop place open for breakfast and lung! Go for Pereas rustic red chile and house made tortilla- their beef/bean combo burrito is one of the best! Last, Berelas Coffee House...And BTW, relleno is pronounced "ree yen oh" :) ...You can also order fresh red and green chile to ship to your home. I highly recommend Sichler Farms for ordering! Luna Burger for green chile burgers...
Thanks for a great video on some of our great food.
Admcmahon2 thanks for watching and sharing your local expertise! We loved New Mexico and looking forward to coming back and trying new spots! We will have to look into your places! And yes…we know we mispronounced relleno, we’re from the Midwest, and pronounce words very lazily!
@@praisingann4him el modelo is the best!
Our great food 🤣 lmao
Wwe
Yes, "Christmas Style" is the way to go!
We hear that!
Best food in the USA, if you ask me. Can’t wait to get back to New Mexico! Great video.
Amen, unreal flavors there!
Best food in the world,I have always said. My favorite!!!
Lies again? New Foodcourt USD SGD
New Mexico food is the best!
I’m from Albuquerque. Lived there for 26 years before moving to Arizona. New Mexico has some of the best food. When I come home I always eat at the best spots! Frontier is iconic. They have a good green Chile sauce I like to eat with their homemade tortillas!
What a great food city to live in! We loved it when we visited!
Expat myself. Cocina Azul looks fantastic and I will have to go there some day. During my 30 years in ABQ, Los Cuates was my go to place. And ordering steak in Santa Fe is totally missing the point!
Born and raised in NM, moved to Yuma AZ about 35yrs ago and the one thing we lamented the most was the food, they have lots of Mexican food here in Yuma but I hate to say it but it can't hold a candle to NM cuisine.... And you can attribute that to one main thing.....New Mexico grown green chili, so many dishes are prepared with either green or red NM chili and it makes all the difference in the world!!!
You missed some of the best green chile cheeseburgers in the country on your way to Albuquerque. The Owl Cafe and Buckhorn Tavern in San Antonio, NM. Not much else in San Antonio, great to stop there. Maybe next time. Safe travels.
Yes I ate the green chili burger at Buckhorn, excellent! I also ate at Buckhorn Exchange in Denver, CO
Hola! From Santa Fe, New Mexico! I'm so happy you enjoyed our food! Great choice on Market Steer! I LOVE their food. Downtown and the plaza are my favorite places to go. When I was a teenager, I would go to this place called the Cross of the Martyrs, past the plaza. So peaceful during sunset. It has such a breathtaking view of downtown. I recommend going there next time you come to Santa Fe. ❤️❤️
Eevee, thank you for your wonderful comment. We loved Santa Fe and New Mexico and can’t wait to return! We will look into Cross of the Martyrs for the next time we visit. Thanks again!
My family and I ate at Cocina Azul recently and thought the food lacked flavor. I heard from some friends that live in Albuquerque that Frontier, El Pinto, High Noon and Duran Central Pharmacy are good places to eat.
Interesting. We’re surprised you thought the flavor was lacking, it was full of flavor when we visited. Frontier is a fun stop but its a bit of a college dive. Would love to visit New Mexico again soon!
In new mexico we don't call it Red or green sauce, it's called red or green chili.
Chile
Next time you visit and are willing to go further north of Santa Fe, I highly recommend Rancho de Chimayo.
Will do!
Love frybread! So good with Stews, burgers, and cookouts🙌🏽
We hear that!
We ate at Carnicia tonight on your recommendation. It was awesome, and reasonably priced. Thank you
Your awesome dinner(and comment) is exactly why we created this channel! We are so glad you enjoyed it...we usually want to try new places when we return to places we've visited, but we'd go back to carniceria in a heart beat if we're in Carlsbad again!
I moved to New Mexico from New Jersey and I have to say tue food is definitely amazing. I’ll never leave here
Jason we really enjoyed it there!
Oh my gosh, the Mexican food with the white cheese-yum!!
Agreed! Hard to make these videos without getting hungry!
Albq --Padilla's Mexican Cafe: the quelites and stuffed sopapillas are very good. Cecilia's Cafe: the tamales, capirotada, natillas, and red sauce are incredible. The restaurant at the Pueblo Cultural Center: the chackewe con huevos, which is blue corn mush topped with carne adovada and an egg, was very good. Rumor has it that is may no longer be on the menu. :( Church Street cafe in Old Town: the green chile chicken stew and sopapillas are good.
Los Lunas and Belen -- Teofilos: the calabacitas stuffed sopilla are good. Petes's Cafe: the carne adovada burrito with calabacitas is yummy.
Gallup -- Don Diego's Cafe: the stuffed sopillas and the sheepherder's special are nice. Dine Grill: the lamb and steam corn, and lamb and dumpling stews are good. This place is in a meat market on the far south side of town. The 9th St Flea Market: hunt up some pueblo bread, mutton sandwiches and kneeldown bread.
Farmington -- Ashkii's Navajo Grill: the grandma's boy special and the stews are very good.
San Antonio -- Owl Bar and Cafe: the green chile cheese burger is great.
Taos Pueblo -- Tiwa Kitchen: the blue cornmeal crusted trout is very good.
Roswell -- Martin's Capital Cafe: the green sauce is fantastic. I could drink it with a straw, lol. La Escondida Cafe: the breakfast burritos are really good. Get them Christmas.
In Santa Fe, my favorite place to get green chili is at Ramblin Cafe and my favorite take out, food truck is El Chili Toreado. 🤤 Family owned establishments! 🥰
Awesome! We can’t wait to visit Santa Fe again and will look those spots up per your recommendation!
@@AdamandMadalyn They’re breakfast/lunch places, so they close early, around 2pm. 🥺
Lunch is our favorite meal ✌️
My mouth is literally watering!!
That’s what we aim for!
Thanks for this video, it made me more homesick than I already was but I love my hometown Albuquerque. And our food
Sorry to make you home sick! Your home has really tasty food though!
@@AdamandMadalyn that's ok, glad you liked it!!
Im from NM and joined the navy half a year ago and man do I miss New Mexico so much. I took it all for granted ESPECIALLY the food! I’m enjoying the navy so far because it’s taken me to Chicago and now I’m in Florida and who knows where else I’ll go once I go on deployment, but man I can’t wait for my contract to be up so I can go home ❤️
I'm from New Mexico I grew up with all food. We cook that good food I miss that good food.
I hear you MaryJojola!
omg the shrimp and halibut pasta from Tuneup was one of my guilty pleasures when I was living out there, w the cute little garden salad and bomb garlic bread! Missing it a little extra today
We had a really enjoyable meal there, can’t wait to get to Santa Fe again soon!
The banana-wrapped tamale is definitely not a new thing. It's a regional tamale to central America. Hope you enjoyed it.
It was quite good, thanks for watching!
We are headed there from Michigan in January with the family. So excited!!!!
You’re going to have a blast…great state and great food!
Watching this video got me hungry I love New Mexican food thank you for this amazing video new subscriber
Watching this while fasting here in Albuquerque. We'll get some of this food tomorrow.
Good luck!
Did you notice a difference in the food from Southern NM to Nothern NM? I live near Carlsbad. When we eat up north the food is a little different. But still great!
Marie, thanks for your question. We only ate the one meal in Carlsbad, at Carniceria. It was incredible and we would go weekly if we lived in Carlsbad. In terms of difference, I did not find much difference, but that was probably because all the food was so good!
@@AdamandMadalyn There is a difference. Northern NM tends to use red chile - esp from Chimayo. Also, black beans instead of pinto beans are the preference in Santa Fe. Blue corn tortilla is also preferred over yellow or white corn. And there are the Pueblo areas. When in Albuquerque again, try the Indian Cultural Center for a different kick!
From Alamogordo, and live in Cruces now, Ive noticed the same lol.
I'm just so jealous 😔. I live in San Antonio and a lot of our restaurants are Tex-mex. Some of authentic good ones are always packed and only open certain hours and days.
What are some good restaurants in San Antonio?
Hi, You did hit a variety of food in NM. It was fun watching you get so excited about all the Chile, I guess we take it for granted. But The true NM food was at Cocina Azul. The others were Mexican, and Navajo tacos are not really tacos. lol. Kinda hard to explain differences but when you grow up here you just know. Anyways, We do have food from all cultures here and you hit many good ones. For true NM food, try Durans, (torpedo) Pereas, (green!) Garcias (red!) and El Pinto for the beautiful patio and scenery.
Great advice, thanks for sharing!
You guys made me so hungry, I can’t wait to get back to Albuquerque and Santa Fe
Each year when I can, I return home for the Green Chile harvest. 300 lbs. of XXXHot Hatch, roasted and then dehydrated on the family ranch, when dried about 100 lbs. That way when I return to California, I have my daily dose.
Green Chile Stew, Sopapillas, both dessert and stuffed with beans, rice and meat, I'll take them either way. A little aside about Sopapillas, as many of the first Spanish settlers in New Mexico were descendants of Sephardic Jews from Spain, it is a Jewish dessert in Spain and Greece called Bumuellos. While the traditional Mexican Chile Relleno is easy to find in New Mexico our version, usually only found at home is a chuck roast boiled with spices, and after it's cooked put through a meat grinder mixed with copped green chiles, and some egg. They are rolled into football shaped balls (albondigas) about the size of a golf ball. Dredged in flower then dunked in the same egg batter Mexican Rellenos are dipped in and deep fried. Served hot or cold, they are very New Mexican.
Last but not least, Bizcochitos, an Anise flavored cookie which is the official State Cookie of New Mexico
Love those fresh green chiles!
cocina azul is authentic as it gets
Next time you're in Albuquerque stop by Perea's and Sadie's.. You must.
You got it!
Been watching you guys all morning. Im sooo hungry 😋
That makes sense!
Loved the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much, from Vietnam 🥰
Thanks for watching Nguyet!
Continue to have fun and respect America's regions
👍🏻
the pozole and sopapillas from El Modelo.
also recommend trying a christmas breakfast burrito from Blake's.
Great suggestions!
Thank you so much for this video. I will go to NM next month and can't wait to experience what you guys did. YUM!
Wok…thanks for watching! Safe and tasty travels friend!
Looks amazing
It is!
All that beef 🥩-my husband would LOVE that!
He would get along with Adam then!
@@AdamandMadalyn he raises beef cattle! If y’all ever swing by Missouri, he can make him a fresh steak! 😂💕
Great video!
Thank you Jessica!
Ye bro, really spano-mexicon!
I absolutely love Carniceria in Carlsbad, I come for the Menudo and the Posole.. I absolutely love living in New Mexico ❤️
Carniceria was amazing and we’d definitely go back next time we visit your awesome state!
I’m from California and I wish I was from New Mexico. Maybe in the next life, see you in when the spirit hoarse comes.
I can't find it anywhere but new mexico and western Texas. A pastry called sopillas it not fried tortillas but they resemble hollow donut so good with honey!
sopapillas
LOL. The Chile RayLENyoze got me dying. 🤣🤣🤣 Even us gringos no better than that!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
K
What kind of chillys do they use for the chilly rellenyos?
Im from Albuquerque, got to try El Paisa 🔥
Alrighty, next time we’re in town
Go to the herradura in Artesia and try the tacos desabrada.
Alrighty 👍🏼
DId yall stop in Hatch to get a green chile cheeseburger? Saw you drive by Sparky's that place is really good!
Invader…we wanted to eat in Hatch but everything closes really early and we didn’t get there in time! Next time!
Watching from my city of Albuquerque. Some of the best food I’ve had is from food trucks & hole in the wall places. I’m not really a fan of Frontier. It’s actually pretty close to my work.
Frontier was definitely a college eatery however we’re glad we went because it’s a local institution! Also we had a long day and we’re definitely not up for somewhere fancy!
SHE SAID ITS A WHOLE NEW MEAT DELIVERY SYSTEM... WOW......!!!!!!! NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE ..... THATS WHATS UP
Heading to New Mexico next month. Thanks for the video. Was the risotto very spicy?
Dusty, have a great time! No it wasn’t spicy. Depending on how green chili is prepared, it isn’t necessarily spicy. There are definitely spicy versions though!
@@AdamandMadalyn not sure how I'm going to handle the food in NM, it all looks so good but I can't deal with spice. Two days each ABQ, Santa Fe and Taos. Can't wait.
Sounds like a great trip! They should have very solid food options that aren’t too spicy, just ask when you’re at the restaurant 👍🏼
Nice video.
Nice comment 👍🏼
That background music playing in the first minute of eating.... that's familiar... what is it called??
Try to Shazam it, it was just in the background so we don’t know!
There is Mexican food and New Mexican food big difference .
Next time u vist Albuquerque go to either dions pizza 🍕 😋 or gino's pizza and order the pepperoni and green Chile pizza you'll love it
Pepperoni and green chile pizza sounds right up out alley!
You should have gone to Loyola's on East Central.
Next time!
😋😋😋😋😋
👏🏼
If you want awesome NM food in Albuquerque try Pereas
Does anyone Remember the chicken stuffed relleño from Garduños?😢
I live in Los Lunas the food 🍱 is dank
Quick google search and it looks like a restaurant called Europa might be tasty!
@@AdamandMadalyn the place to eat in Los Lunas would be Bennys or Village Cafe! :)
We’ll take your word for it!
@@jessihope8148 damn Jessi, what’s up babe? Can I take you to Bennys then?
SO MUCH MORE GREAT NM FOOD than "Sante Fe" quick tourist tour of "NM" every little town has a killer NM Restaurant!!
Am I the only one who noticed the strange object in the sky behind you in you whites sands footage. but anyway food looks amazing. Im hungry now. lol
Probably a UFO
@@AdamandMadalyn exactly lol
I clogged three arteries watching this video. I love New Mexcian cuisine.
We ate very well in New Mexico that's for sure!
It’s better watching this full lol
Trey we see what you did there!
@@AdamandMadalyn you guys depicted New Mexico perfectly I’ve lived all over the u.s but had to move back here to New Mexico for some reasons I bet you could guess one of them keep up the good work on the channel!
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words Trey! You live in a great state!
I live in Jalisco, MX. Have for 10 years.
NM food is better!
In Mexico most butchershops double as a restaurant
Can’t wait to find out some day
Excuse me jersey wow
No clue
A little painful to hear the pronounciation of "relleno" 😂 But I'm excited for a trip to NM!
Have a fun safe trip!
Break it down: “rey-en-o”
As someone who lives in New Mexico I was a little disappointed because there are far better places in Albuquerque and Santa Fe for wayyy cheap too.
K make a list then
How about that list, kye?
You had the Navajo taco and Navajo burger at the wrong place.😔
Where then?
"Chile Ruhlenyo?" Oh lord...
It’s not “Relenyo”. It’s pronounced Rayeno. 2 “L”s make a “Y” sound.
Wrong place to have a navajo burger or taco
That's a Mexican restaurant not new Mexican I am confused for the first place they visited
These are restaurants in New Mexico, and New Mexico cuisine pulls from a variety of different backgrounds.
New Mexican 😁😁😁😁
There is nothing like new mexico food. Its just cooked so very different than classic mexican cusine. Some of the small cafe's along the highways have excellent food. Being born and raised in albuquerque We still stuff many of these foods in a sopappilla. Most that come from around the US dont realise a new mexico enchalada is flat. kinda messes with there minds. but once they try them there hooked
Amen to thay
Please don't call it sauce it's Chile been living here my whole life and the one thing New Mexicans find disrespectful is comparing our Chile to that other crap
The elected officials not governing our city is creating chaos for the people visiting and people living in Santa Fe. The loud cars that take over our city day and night and the speeding cars and running red lights is an embarrassment to this city and the tax payers. There is no police presence to control any of this. In short, Santa Fe is going in the wrong direction. The officials are more interested with making the rail and art district another Disney park and not fixing problems at hand. I moved to Santa Fe over 14 years ago and love it, but the last few years of increased noise from the modified car mufflers have taken over the sound scape and is causing noise pollution that's unacceptable for most cities. My family and friends will no longer visit due to lack of sleep either in hotel rooms or at my place due to the noise. There are laws in place to curb the illegal cars but it's not being enforced. This is unfair and I don't know to approach it. I have contacted the governor's office and never received a reply, same with the mayor. Do our elected officials ever step outside to see what's going on in this city? This has been going on for a long time and there's been more than ample time to fix this.
That's not new Mexican food. That's more like Mexico and Guatemala food!
In the intro that was Mexican food not New Mexican food. Trust me on this I'm a descendant from the first colonizers that came from Spain. Many of whom were Sephardic Jews fleeing the inquisition. Loved your video will subscribe.
Rio, thanks for watching…this video was a compilation of all the places we ate in New Mexico. Yes the place we ate in Carlsbad was Mexican, however they did have a lot of green chiles
I dont know but i believe you...just picture yourself back then if you where jewish i would definately stay far away from those crazy spanish catholics.
in mexico or any spanish countries u cloud! be arrested! if u called new mexico spanish food the same as mexican food
Salvadoreño food guácala 😢
🤷🏻♂️
There are so many better restaurants in Santa Fe… You went to the wrong spots.
Nothing compares to El Paso Tx...and no..it ain't Tex-Mex..they call it Mex-Tex... 🔥
Had to fast forward your chewing multiple times 🤢
Disgusting ill never say otherwise
Ok
Did you know what to look for?? lame.
You two clearly don't know what you're eating or how to describe our dishes. You suck.
Enlighten us
I'm watching this video at 3.am delicious food I'm getting hungry. Worst part i don't have anything to eat 😫
Oh no! Thanks for watching!
...thank god I'm Italian
