If there’s one thing New Mexico does exceptionally well, it’s food. I love the idea of trying new places, but in the busyness of motherhood, it’s easy to rotate between one or two reliable favorites and call it a day. While there is comfort in familiarity, I’ve found that switching things up can bring a little spark of novelty and joy to an otherwise typical weekend.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably spent hours scrolling Reddit threads, Facebook groups, and Yelp reviews in search of the perfect hidden gem, only to end up ordering Dion’s for the fourth time this month. Now you can look no further. I’ve rounded up five family-friendly, off-the-beaten-path restaurants that are well worth the trip!
When you think of delicious food in Albuquerque, Eastern European classics do not necessarily come to mind. However, this little deli/restaurant/specialty grocery store does not disappoint. You can stop by the counter, order a traditional Polish sausage, some borscht, or homemade perogies and sit amongst the Russian and Eastern European grocery staples. Their Ukrainian stuffed cabbage has been featured on Food Network and got the stamp of approval from Guy Fieri. Like any good deli, you can come back again and again and find something new and incredible each time…
