Albuquerque is home to one of America's most unique and cherished regional cuisines, so it's no surprise that food is one of the things that people remember most about a trip to New Mexico--some people say they moved here just to be closer to the source! New Mexican cuisine is based on native ingredients like corn, beans, squash and chiles, and incorporates Mexican, Native American and Spanish flavors -- but chile is always the most important element. In fact, our official state question is "Red or green?" and both types of chile can be instantly addictive, bringing visitors back year after year.

   
Beyond New Mexican cuisine, Albuquerque has a rich and diverse culinary scene, filled with sushi bars, pizzerias, Mexican taquerias and cutting edge fine-dining restaurants. If you find yourself more thirsty than hungry, you can make a visit to one of the area's wine bars or brewpubs and taste some of our award-winning wines and beers.
