Hi Professor Salbato,
My name is Elena, and I’m a student in your Introduction to Philosophy Spring course. I would consider myself a foodie and love to try new spots! I’ve tried a lot of the places on your list, but excited to try the ones I haven’t.

Hello, My name is Nevaeh Duran. I love to try new food spots but aside from that i love to cook and bake. I find it calming and rewarding. I also like to try new types of food quite often. When i was younger i hated avocados, i kept making myself try them over and over until i eventually liked them. I like to try cooking foods in different unexpected ways.
-
Nevaeh, I too enjoy cooking and when I first saw this discussion on food my thoughts went too home cooked recipes, not low priced restaurants. You can’t get any lower priced than home. But I find that younger generations won’t cook. During COVID, I saw an upsurge because of our isolation. Now it’s back to fast food. Your thoughts?
-
Hi Professor nice to meet you! I love your food suggestions, Coda Bakery is seriously such a gem! I have never been to Arirang thought but have been meaning to and this is my sign to.

Hi Professor Salbato,
My name is Kaydence, and I also love trying new affordable places to eat. One of my favorite places that’s down the street from my house is called “El Modelo’s.” It’s my go-to spot for carne adobada burritos!
-
Kaydence, El Modelo has been a beloved Barelas restaurant for decades. Did you know it is on the National Register of Historic Places? I have been eating there since the early 1960’s. My grand parents lived on 4th and Pacific (by the Arrow Food market) and I was a student at Sacred Heart Catholic School. Good Stuff-ings!

Hi everybody!
My name is Ashley. I am all about hidden gems that are amazing food places. I have 3 in specific I’d like to share! I am all about iced coffee and drinks mostly. Number 1 is Ma’s Tea House on the west side of ABQ. They have great boba, pho (on some weekends), and snacks to share! Number 2 is Park Square Market in uptown. This one is a bit hidden behind some buildings, but the atmosphere is great and they have many food and coffee shops. My favorite is Neko Neko or the coffee shop hidden in the corner of the market! It’s never been super busy. The third is Drop Cafe in the middle of ABQ. The atmosphere is absolutely stunning and the coffee and snacks they have are so good. I’m excited to see and try all of your recommendations! -

Hello Everyone,
My name is Samantha Garza and my favorite food gem in the ABQ area is Kaufman’s Coffee and Bagels, it is located on Central and New York. This is one of my favorite spots to grab a coffee and am amazing breakfast bagel. I also love that this place brews locate coffee beans.
-
This is definitely something that I will need to try. I love supporting our local places.
-
I freaking love that place! So yummy! Have you tried Sunday bagel yet? I keep hearing great things about them but scared to switch up on Kaufman’s.

My name is Andrew Antonen. I like to be called “Andrew”. I consider Dragon Sushi a low-priced hidden gem. This place offers all sushi rolls 50% off. They do not have many sides or other items to order. They are very basic but serve quality food.
-
I never tried sushi till my daughter introduced me to it, so I am always trying new sushi spots, so this is one I will surely try. Especially when they have discounted prices cuz there are some pricey places put here.
-
Hi Andrew. One of my roommates and I are very into sushi. This sounds like a really fun recommendation.
-
Hi Andrew!
I love sushi, but haven’t tried Dragon Sushi yet. Have you tried Tamashi? They have a location on the west side, Unser and Ladera, and a location on the east side, San Mateo and Paseo. So far, they have been my favorite!

I love to eat mostly authentic Mexican but my favorite hidden gem I would have to say is called Eat My Thai, the food there is amazing.

I am Mr Ed. A life long resident of Albuquerque and a Film Production student at the ATC Campus on Alameda Blvd. I decided to open a new topic “Favorite Movies” but as I am now returning to our discussion boards I find that the category does not exist (Jeff can you help?) So I will respond to this Food discussion. First of all let me ask.. What is low price? I know McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s and other Corps all have “Value Menus” at $5, $7, $9, etc. So I will suggest single person lunch and dinner prices from $10-$20. Fair?
UNM/Nob Hill – Two Fools Tavern – British/Scottish cuisine. Best Fish and Chips this side of San Diego. Bangers, Scottish eggs.
UNM – West of Central – Anyone been to Yasmine’s Mediterranean?
Central NE – Cafe de lat – Vietnamese cuisine. Great menu items and portions.
Central SE – Coda Bakery – Vietnamese food. Wow, their new location is fantastic.
San Mateo/Lomas – Quarter Celtic – Brew Pub. Xlnt Reuben sandwich and Fish ‘n Chips.
Paseo del Norte/San Pedro – Cocina Azul – NM Style Mexican food. Out of this world chile (HOT). Taco Burgers w/fries, Flautas, Creamy Green Chile Chicken Soup Wow! Calabacitas.
