We'll be spending a few days in the Albuquerque area next month. We'd appreciate any suggestions for New Mexican, Native American, and Mexican restaurants - inexpensive to moderately priced. A few places I ate at when I was in the area a few years ago: - Mi Casita in Albuquerque. Had Mole Poblano de Pollo - very good, and very cheap ($8, for dinner and a drink!) - Po Suwae Geh in Pojoaque Pueblo (between Albuquerque & Santa Fe) - excellent chicken dish (forget the name, but it had a red chili sauce) and inexpensive. - M & J Sanitary Tortilla Factory in Albuquerque. Very good - forget what I had, but lunch and a drink was about $8. Thanks, Steve & Laurie [email removed] or [email removed]
