Huevos rancheros and burritos smothered with spicy salsa top the list in this friendly, simply furnished New Mexican diner that's been around since the 1950s and is a great bet for hearty breakfasts and lunches. You can also pick up cookies, doughnuts, and pastries from the on-site bakery or a stack of freshly made corn tortillas from the tortilleria.
Located near the southern end of the Turquoise Trail, just a 15-minute drive from Albuquerque, this friendly brewpub and brick-oven pizzeria has a lush, pet-and-family-friendly beer garden outside and a pool table and tabletop shuffleboard inside. The blistered-crust pizzas are delicious, and there's a nice selection of salads and sandwiches on house-baked focaccia.
