Grab A Booth At Durango’s Diner, Where Green Chile Has Smothered Breakfast Since 1965

Some breakfast spots chase trends. This one has been chasing the same simple goal since 1965, and it keeps winning. On Durango’s main drag, cooks still shred potatoes by hand for hash browns while customers on counter stools watch every step. The green chile is so popular that people carry jars of it home after their meal.

This New Mexico Taco Spot Is All About Birria Tacos And Dipping Broth That Steals The Show

Get Out: Our picks of the best things to do for Fri. the 13th (and the rest of the weekend) in ABQ (Nov. 12)

This weekend gifts us with another Friday the 13th. (They only happen once every 212 days, give or take.) If you’re particularly superstitious, I guess you might think about staying home. But for a lot of folks, Friday the 13th is a fine excuse to get out and look for some mischief. It’s sort of a “bonus” Halloween, allowing people to engage in more supernatural shenanigans: watching horror movies, listening to creepy music and shopping for eerie accoutrement. This coming Friday the 13th offers Albuquerqueans a wide variety of events that seem at least a bit appropriate for the day in question. So why not push your luck, pet any black cats you see and celebrate Friday the 13th by hanging out with a few strangers (in every sense of the word)?

We Ranked The 10 Best Hole-In-The-Wall Restaurants In New Mexico And Here Is Who Made The Cut

One modest Albuquerque cafe on this list has its own official day, proclaimed by the Governor of New Mexico. Not a trophy. Not a plaque. A whole day. That cafe opened in 1963, and the James Beard Foundation later named it one of America’s Classics. I think that says a lot about how this state treats its small, unfussy kitchens.
