best homemade tamales in town, with lines arounds the block at christmas time. try the red chile and pulled pork, and the chicken and green chile with cheese=truly amazing. chile rellenos and fresh chips are also delicious. everything is made in-house in the kitchen right in front of you. there are a few picnic tablels to sit at.

Great place for lunch. Get some New Mexican take-out or order and eat at the picnic tables outside.

Amazing New Mexican food on a budget. It's counter service and there are only outdoor picnic tables as far as seating goes, but you will not be disappointed in the food. Try the $3 bean burritos.

You need to drive here, but only 10 minutes by car. If you want to experience a true Mexican kitchen, check this historic restaurant. You can peek through and watch an enormous kitchen with steaming vats of delicious food being prepared. The chicken green chili burrito is the best in the city. Not too spicy. All their menu is enjoyable.
