NM Report I was in town for a couple of days and here’s my scoop: Loved: - The Frontier on Central. It isn’t swank. Nothing fancy. And when it comes down to it – is pretty much a cafeteria looking like a relic from 1970. You order

Work is taking me to Albuquerque this coming week, so I am looking for some good choices—local specialities, good eating, casual ambience. Moderate prices are a plus, but I will pay for a special experience. Last time I was...

? When I was last there, I thought the Frontier fresh tortillas were still better.

They were there last year through October if I remember correctly. I was there on Saturday. Tacos. Arepas. Sliced mango in a bag with salt and lime. All for a few bucks. Beyond fantastic....

Just returned from a trip to Vegas and was pleased, though not overly so, with Hugo’s Cellar at the Four Queens. Twenty-three years ago, it was spectacular; last week it was quite good, though lacking in those flourishes of...

When we drove from D.C. to Phoenix and back last year, my wife and I found Cattlemen’s steakhouse in Oklahoma City charming and delicious. http://www.cattlemensrestaurant.com/ You’ll find some other ideas if...

possibilities that are above Sadie’s/Orlando’s/El Sombrero, but not not so “trendy” that the food’s no longer southwestern? And for our last night in Albuquerque we’ll be wandering around the...

in the naan makers finger’s, if he hit a trifecta at the track, or if he got lucky last night. Whatever, the naan I had with my lunch today was perfect—puffy and chewy and crispy all at once, perfect for soaking up...

to Albuquerque last month and there were raves about Saggio’s for Pizza. It was truly mediocre. My wife and I LOVE pizza at Streets of New York in Phoenix. I would like to look up "If you like Streets of New York pizza, you...

restaurant. After all, I am going to NM specifically to get my green chile fix this August. I used to eat at the Frontier all the time (what kid in college in Abq didn’t?!) and still plan on eating there just for nostalgia,...

I’ve eaten at Bahar twice. The first time (last summer) was great. The second time (last weekend) was really disappointing. Service was unfriendly and unattentive, and the food was just really blah. Plus the place was...

There’s Bistro Provence on Pass, but the last time i was there I seemed to get a lot of “attitude” from the host, which is a bit offputting considering they’re in a stripmall in Burbank! Personally,...

There’s a current thread on the Boston board about the relative lack of huevos rancheros in town that held up the version as served at the Frontier Restaurant in Albuquerque as the Platonic ideal of the dish. I pointed out...

I’m interested in restaurants that are unique, yummy and interesting but also welcoming to children. The restaurant must have some kind of kids menu so that chicken fingers and mac and cheese are available as a last resort,...
