Hey Jeff, I have heard of Tap N Taco but have not gone yet. I will have to check it out now that you mentioned it. Thank you for all the other recommendations. I will try to check some of them out.

[Brooke]

Hello, my name is Brooke Baldwin, but I prefer Brooke. A hidden food gem I love is Burger Boy in Tijeras, New Mexico.

[Daniel]

Hey Brooke, I have not been to Tijeras but if I ever am I will try to remember to try Burger Boy. Thank you for the recommendation.

[Natalia Morain]

Hi Brooke,
I have never heard of this place. I will definitely try it out next time I go out!

[Saada Alexander]

Good morning Brook, I love Burger Boy! You defiantly shared a good one, and they are worth the drive! Trail Rider is also a good one while visiting Tijeras!

[Kyle]

Hello Brooke, If I am remembering correctly I used to deliver gasoline to the chevron next to the hamburger stand up there and order to go before i started my drop, its been along time but was good when i had it.

[Daniel]

Hey, my name is Daniel Orona, I don’t have a preference on nickname but for the majority people call me Danny. A place that I highly recommend is New Mexico Beef Jerkey Company in Albuquerque. Also if you are ever in Santa Fe I highly recommend Bang Bite Filling Station they are better than In N Out and Lota Burger in my opinion.

[Natalia Morain]

Hi all, my name is Natalia Morain, I prefer just Natalia. A few places I recommend are Tap N’ Taco, IGrill, and Market street. I know market street is a grocery store or what not but they have BBQ and other foods that are so good and decent price!

[Saada Alexander]

Good Morning Natalia, I have heard about Tap N taco, what is your favorite item on the menu? Also I agree with you market grocery!

[jsalbato@cnm.edu]

Yep, I will second the vote for iGrill. It’s solid.

At Tap-N-Taco, part of its charm is that the menu is really simple. For me it’s a couple of fish tacos and a chicken quesadilla. (I don’t eat meat too often, so someone else could recommend more stuff.)

[Brooke]

Hello! Those are all places I have heard of and passed by but have yet to try. I’ve been to the Market Street once and think it is the coolest grocery store I’ve seen but I haven’t tried their prepared food. I will definitely have to try it next time I am in the area.

[Saada Alexander]

Hello everyone, my name is Saada, I don’t really go by anything else other than mom. my Favorite hidden gem would have to be Sushi Xuan they are so Yummy and have a clam quiet environment. The service is what stands out to me the most they are very kind and take the time to know all the customers.

[Jaylene Suazo]

hey saada, I love sushi and so does my boyfriend we have been wanting to try new sushi places since moving here, ill have to check this one out do you have a specific recommendation you like from there?

[Saada Alexander]

I love it all! I don’t think you can go wrong. Another great place to go is Yoshi Mame, its all you can eat sushi like the entire menu. you get a good bang for your buck.

[jsalbato@cnm.edu]

Oooh, thanks Saada! Yoshi Mame looks great. I just put it on my list of places to try.

The other great affordable Japanese place is Nagomi. And, I know this is hard to believe, but when Sushi King has their all-you-can-eat days, it is pretty great and a deal, too.

[Ethan Sullivan]

Hi there my name is Ethan, you can call me Ethan. A hidden gem food spot I can recommend is slice and dice. I love that place they have like hundreds of board games you can use while you eat their delicious pizza and its also a great place for tt rpgs.

[jsalbato@cnm.edu]

Back in the day when I could get my wife to play board games with me, we would hit Slice & Dice often. Very cool joint.

[Marco A. Hernandez-Luna]

hello everyone my name is Marco. A really good place for breakfast is sunnyside up its very good I highly recommend it

[Jaylene Suazo]

hello everyone, I am Jaylene but you can call me Jay for short. a hidden food spot I’ve been interested in recently was Liams and lily’s bistro on the west side.

[Kyle]

Hello my name is Kyle I also answer to Karl becasue growing up down in south eastern new mexico it was often interchangable. A couple of places I really like are Rita’s in Belen has an awesome sopa burger and Benny’s in bosque Farms has Burgers and Tacos I like, also Southwest grill in Bosque Farms has real good chicharrónes they make limited amounts of lunch items like fry bread for indian tacos so its best to go early.

[Boulder]

Hello Kyle. I have never had a sopa burger, but it sounds delicious. I will have to swing by Rita’s sometime and try it.

[Landon]

Hello, I am Landon and would like to be called as such. A hidden food gem that I love dearly is called La Guelaguetza. Highly recommended if you love Mexican food or want to try something new! (My personal recommendation is the quesabirria pizza!)

[jsalbato@cnm.edu]

Landon,
La Guelaguetza looks genius. I wish it was near me. My wife is a Mexican food snob… if a joint doesn’t make their own chips and taco shells that place is despised. When I show her this spot, she’ll be stoked.

[Ruby Sotelo]

Hello, Im Ruby! I also prefer to be referred to as Ruby. A place I love and truly vouch for is “Vamos con Gloria”, my all time favorite is their birria tacos and aqua de Piña or melon!

[Jaylene Suazo]

hey ruby, I work next to Vamos Con Gloria and I’ve been loving it recently. their hard shell birria is my favorite as well! I will try out the aqua de Pina or melon next time.Great suggestion!

[Brooke]

Hello my name is Brooke, my preferred name is Brooke.
Two of my favorite breakfast/brunch spots is Vic’s and Daves Grill. Vic’s gives you that traditional cafe feel you might have went to as a kid. It also has an outdoor patio and they allow dogs! Daves Grill is more modern but has such great food from breakfast to dinner.

[Dante]

Hello my name is Dante, Hot Tamales Restaurant is my favorite place to eat in New Mexico because the food always has a lot of flavors and reminds me of home. I like the relaxed atmosphere and how it feels like a local place where people can enjoy good New Mexican food. Their spicy dishes are my favorite because I enjoy food with chile and strong flavors. Whenever my family goes out to eat, I always recommend Hot tamales

[Boulder]

Hello Dante. I also enjoy food with Chile and strong flavors. I will have to try Hot Tamales out sometime.

[Boulder]

Hey everyone my name is Boulder Brundage, and you can call me Boulder. The Frontier Restaurant by the UNM campus has really good green chili burgers.

I also love al pastor tacos so if you ever visit Phoenix Az, there’s a place called Taco Viva with some of the best al pastor.

[lynette trujillo]

Hello my name is Lynette, you can call me by my first name.
I have found the BEST Caesar salads that is huge and a good price over at Gimani downtown! I recommend if your a pizza lover or salad person! One to try.

[Krissy Coyle]

Hi Lynette! That sounds like a super yummy salad, I’ll have to go to Gimani’s sometime soon to try it. Have a great semester.

[Virginia Perez-Ortega]

My name is Virginia Pérez-Ortega. I go by Virginia.
My favorite food in town is from Coda Bakery, Lindo Mexico, Taqueria Mexico, Pollito con Papas, and Taste of India. Tacos Sanchez (food truck on East Central) is by far the best food ever.

[Celeste Hernandez]

Hi Virginia, I love Lindo Mexico too, and I’ve also tried Tacos Sanchez they’re so good! I haven’t tried the other places you mentioned though, so I’ll have to add them to my list. My husband and I are always trying to find new places to eat.

[jsalbato@cnm.edu]

Woohoo! Virginia rules. Coda Bakery and Pollito con Papas were in my original post, too. Must tries! You’ll thank us.

[Celeste Hernandez]

Hello my name is Celeste Hernandez but you can just call me Celeste. My go to breakfast spot in town is Leroy’s New Mexican food, I am definitely a regular there. !0/10 recommend.

[Samra Mtz]

Hello my name is Samra Mtz but you can just call me Sam. My favorite food is probably Pho Bar I like there Pho Bo Mem. I 10/10 would recommend it you want to try Vietnamese food and if you like Raman.

[jsalbato@cnm.edu]

I can second this recommendation. Pho Bar is great. Just be forewarned (or thrilled if you are like me) that some of their Pho portions are huge.

[Mariah Maynes]

Hi class!
My name is Mariah Maynes, you can call me Mariah. I’ve got to recommend “New Mexico Beef Jerky”, on 4th street in Albuquerque. Don’t be fooled by the name; as this restaurant has a menu that accommodates appetites for breakfast, lunch, tacos, sandwiches, and burgers. The green Chile is always tasty and hot!

Mariah

[Krissy Coyle]

Hi, my name is Kristin but I go by Krissy. I really love Frontier on Central. It’s low priced and has tons of options from breakfast to burgers. The cinnamon rolls are a must try! I’m really looking forward to this class and I hope everyone has a great semester!
