The 25 Best Restaurants in Albuquerque, New Mexico | Eater

"While the Barelas neighborhood isn’t on Route 66, the nearby railroads represent the origins of commerce in the Rio Grande Valley. Barelas Coffee House opened in the area in 1978 and has stayed busy dishing out New Mexican classics ever since. Though a chile fix can be found in any corner of the city, locals, tourists, and even former President Obama have made it a point to hit this off-the-beaten-path spot for a bowl of green chile with beans. Must-try dish: Whether or not your dish comes with a housemade flour tortilla, be sure to order one a la carte. You’ll need it to sop up the last of the chile on your plate." - Justin De La Rosa
