El Camino Real de Ron (there used to be a Marcia) an absolute must if you are in Albuquerque.

A block or two south of the UNM campus (on Harvard or Yale). The outdoor patio is delightful. Sadie's - An Albuquerque institution. Big, busy, noisy dining room. Pretty good hot salsa, but I was disappointed in the huevos rancheros. NW 4th Street. Gyros - a small Greek place just south of the UNM campus. The people in our group like their gyros, Greek salads, and tabouleh. Pass up the hummus. Scalo - Wonderful Italian food. Located on Central in the trendy Nob Hill area east of the UNM campus. The patio is loud & fun, indoors is more subdued. Semi-upscale (about $20 for salad & entree). Well worth it. Mi Casita - Good, inexpensive Mexican food. A neighborhood place about a mile or three east of the UNM campus (on the street that Lead turns into). Don't be fooled by the roadhouse-like exterior, it's a nice, clean, friendly family place inside. The local "find" of my visit. EJ's - Every campus neighborhood has one. I had the tofu scramble, need I say more? Good, rich coffee. A block or two south of the UNM campus on Harvard or Yale. If you're looking for chile, salsa, sauces, and all sorts of hot stuff (and hot stuff paraphenalia) check out Chile Addict on Eubanks (1-800-CRY-CHILE). The owner, Fran, has dozens of different chile peppers in dried form (in bags and hanging ristras) and powdered form. She also has a complete line of salsas and hot sauces she bottles herself (for a dollar or two less than you'd pay in the tourist shops in Old Town), as well as other brands. If you have some extra time, visit the Acoma Pueblo "Sky City" about an hour west on I-40. Interesting and informative. Also, check out the Albuquerque Museum. Enjoy your visit! Jack
