How locals rank it
From the local food press
- Cheap Eats
An Albuquerque tamale institution since 1929, reviewed by Gil's Thrilling Blog. The counter-service kitchen on 2nd Street SW is known for red-chile pork tamales, chicharrones, and carne adovada by the pound, plus breakfast burritos smothered in chile. A no-frills spot open seven days that generations of families have ordered holiday tamales from.
Picks from New Mexico Nomad, Gil's Thrilling (And Filling) Blog, An Inspired Cook, Gil's Thrilling and Filling Blog, and Albuquerque Journal
