Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in New Mexico Magazine and Gil's Thrilling (And Filling) Blog. Updated July 2026.

Mañana Taco · Albuquerque
Texan-New Mexican breakfast tacos with Hatch green chile and homemade tortillas.
Taqueria Mexico · Albuquerque
A local go-to for authentic street tacos.
El Paisa Taqueria · Albuquerque
Well-loved tacos and Mexican plates at honest prices.
Lobo Taco · University
Fresh tacos near UNM with Hatch chile and homemade salsas.
RioTacos Co · Northeast Heights
A charcoal-grill taqueria on Alameda that owner-chef Fernando Rios moved from a food truck into a brick-and-mortar in April 2024, rated Excellent by Gil's Thrilling Blog. The mesquite grill is the draw: al pastor, carne asada, and a griddle-crisped quesabirria. A compact northeast-side room doing Mexican mesquite-grilled tacos rather than New Mexican plates.
