Any of the cafes along south 4th street in ABQ serve decent NewMex food.
The Hispanic Cultural Center at Bridge and 4th SW has a cafe supposedly
very good.

You certainly can go to the Frontier but it's really just a burger place
across from the University.

Bea's over at Zuni has slightly gringoised New Mexican food, but the
decor is fun.

Duran's is OK but definitely overpriced.

The Albuquerque Tortilla Factory on North 4th Street has a snackbar sort
of place but the food can be very good and the tortillas are cheap.

Didn't know the Sanitary Tortilla Factory closed; that must have
happened recently. Ate there last year. Might check when you get into
town.

Dos Hermanos is supposed to be good; also 4th street NW

The best New Mexican food is in the neighbourhood cafes; be adventurous.
