          I’m Jeff Salbato (your teacher), but I prefer Jeff. You only need to introduce yourself in one of these sub-topics, but, because I’m the supposed leader here, I’ll post in all of them…

          Hidden food joints: Arirang Korean, Coda Vietnamese Bakery, Magokoro Japanese (closed for now), Viet Rice, Gyros Mediterranean, Thai Cuisine, Don Choche, Curry Leaf, Tako Ten, Tap N Taco, Federidelfos, Il Vicino.

            Hello,

            My name is Anastasia, and I prefer to be called either Anastasia or Ana. In Albuquerque, a local, low-price food joint that is a hidden gem is Viet’s Pho. It is located off Menual, and the restaurant is mainly known for their phở. I have only been there once with my dad, and I hope to go back there soon; the phở was served hot and with fresh ingredients. I also really liked their restaurant set-up, as it provided a comfortable environment to dine in.

                Anastasia!
                This is such a great town for Vietnamese food. If you are new to Vietnamese, go to any of the well-rated places and start with their standard Pho (it’s soup with noodles) and then have someone else order a Bahn Mi (it’s like a French sandwich with barbecue ingredients) and split them, and you will be hooked. There are so many great Pho spots, but Coda bakery is the Bahn Mi king.

                  Hi Anastasia! I love Vietnamese food too! I am glad to know this place is fairly low priced, what an added bonus. I will definitely give it a try, the Pho sounds very good. There is nothing better than a nice hot bowl of Pho!

                    Hi Anastasia. It is nice to meet you. I am Vietnamese and live in Albuquerque, another good joint I love to hit is Wrap n Roll. It tastes really good and you should check it out.

                    Hello my name is Joshua,

                    Some local spots for delicious food I would say are Tai Tip, El Modelo, Pho Ginger, and Giovanni’s Pizzeria. Each one has it’s unique flavors and quirks. All within a fair price range for the quality your receiving. Hope you check them out!

                        Joshua,
                        There are so many great, less-expensive food joints in that area of Eubank & Juan Tabo near Pho Ginger. It is a solid drive for me, but it is food paradise…places like Arirang, Taaj Palace, Tomi Sushi, Nagomi Sushi, etc.

                        Hello! My name is Allyna Thomas, but I go by Ally for short. In Albuquerque, one of my favorite food places that I would recommend would be Relish of off Menaul. It has some of the most tasty sandwiches you could think of! Not to mention they have amazing pasta salad that will leave in impression. I highly recommend it as it is one of my favorite places to go on any given day!

                            Ally,
                            “Relish” has been on my list of places to try for over a year, and I just can’t seem to get over there when it’s open. I’ll move it up my list and go there soon. (Yes, I am that nerd that uses Google Keep to rank my favorite food spots and to keep lists of where to try next.)

                            Hello my name is Cassady. I love to find local spots to eat; I am a pescatarian (mainly eat vegetarian) so finding options used to be difficult but has grown easier over the years. A few local spots I really enjoy are El Modelo for stuffed Sopapillas, Coda for their subs and mung bean balls, Basil leaf or lime for noodle bowls, Lucky goose for vegan junk food, Namaste for Indian buffet, Guava tree café for arepas or Thai orchid for pineapple curry.

                                Hello Cassady, it’s nice to meet you!
                                I can only imagine how hard it is to find places to eat as a pescatarian, but I love El Modelo. They have the best Sopapillas, to the point that I will only eat them there.

                                  Cassady,

                                  I’m similar, most meat is only for special occasions, but I will eat eggs often and seafood pretty often. This is why I tend to favor Asian, Middle Eastern, and Indian food. And your list is praiseworthy. Coda and Basil Leaf are two of the best, and Namaste is as good as any, unless you want to spend a ton for better Indian, but I’m cheap, so Namaste is fine.

                                  The other great veggie places that you probably already know, but I have to mention, are Thai Vegan and Annapurna. But I, like you, can find tons of great pescatarian food at most of the Vietnamese, Japanese, Middle Eastern, Greek, and Indian joints.
