One of our favorite places to 'get your chile on!' Open 7 days a week for breakfast, lunch, dinner (8am - 8pm). Delicous food but no vegetarian options, unfortunately.

Delicious, updated takes on classic New Mexican breakfast and lunch cuisine. Best green chile in ABQ in this person's humble opinion. Walking distance from the casita with your choice of indoor or outdoor seating.

Order your Costa Rican yummies at the counter then head outside, stake your claim at a table and peruse some of the local shops at the historic and recently renovated El Vado motor lodge while Kattia and her team cook up your meal. Be sure and try the chocolate flan cake if it's on the day's offerings.

This place plays the shows the mainstream theaters miss (some classics too). They call themselves 'eclectic.' We think they are simply very well-curated. Reasonable ticket and concession prices, too.

Taproom with an urban feel and indoor/outdoor seating. Don't let the small space fool you - they make the most of it and produce a nice variety. Walking distance from the casita and if you happen to bring a vinyl record they might spin one for you.
