New Mexico Beef Jerky Co
Updated
Savory scents fill the air in this Southwest-style restaurant, with wooden beams and vigas providing decorative support. In addition to the savory goods for sale, the shop has a coffee and tea bar with pastries and churros, which are made to order. Make sure to grab a horchata with your burrito because it's got a spicy kick. The chicharron is smoky and crispy and wrapped in a buttery tortilla.Elizabeth Tucker
Papa Frank's

Thisrestaurant—owned by a husband and wife, Joey and Priscilla Gallegos — is built in what used to be Joey Gallegos' grandfather's house. Breakfast burritos are sold all day, but other breakfast options are available only in the morning.Elizabeth Tucker
The Burrito Lady
Updated
The Burrito Ladyis a hole in the wall you might miss if you're not looking carefully. Owner Consuelo Flores started a business selling tamales at Christmas. Eventually, Flores was asked if she could make burritos as well. Two months later she was selling enough burritos to quit working as a waitress at Garduño's and open the restaurant without taking out a business loan.Albuquerque Journal
