The 25 Best Restaurants in Albuquerque, New Mexico | Eater

"While new, expensive, overhyped tacos dominate many Instagram feeds, real ones know the $2 taco is alive and well at Barbacoa El Primo. As the restaurant’s name suggests, barbacoa is the one and only meat you’ll find here, but there’s no need for other options when the slow-cooked, tender beef is as good as this. You can order it in a torta, burrito, or taco. The red and green salsas pack piquant punches, but their heat can be tamed with an agua fresca or horchata. Know before you go: Feed the crew with the restaurant’s family pack, which comes with a pound of barbacoa, tortillas, garnishes, and salsa." - Justin De La Rosa
