The ambiance at El Pinto is spectacular and it's only a short walk away. I highly recommend the red chile ribs! The sopapillas with honey are a local staple, enjoy a margarita or two to wash it all down.

Nice dim lighting and the best red chile in town (be careful, it's spicy.) This restaurant originated in a little NM town named Cuba, when they opened in Albuquerque I was so excited. The offer brunch with a bloody mary bar and it's not too far from The Cozy Condo!

Sadie's of NM is an Albuquerque staple. The large portions are more than enough to satisfy a hungry belly. Never leave without having a sopapilla stuffed with beans and cheese or drizzled with honey. Located in Albuquerque's North Valley and just a 10 minute drive from the Cozy Condo.
