Best New Mexican Restaurants in Albuquerque (What Sets Stufy's Apart)

Albuquerque has no shortage of New Mexican spots. Here's how to find the best — and what makes Stufy's different.

What to Look For

The best New Mexican restaurants share a few things: chile made in house, fresh sopaipillas, generous portions, and a sense of tradition you can taste.

Beware of spots that use canned chile or pre-made dough — it shows.

What Makes Stufy's Stand Out

Stufy's makes everything in house, from sopaipilla dough to red and green chile. We've been doing it since 1968, and we're literally 'Home of the Stuffed Sopaipilla.'

Two convenient Albuquerque locations, online ordering, and catering make us easy to love.

Decide for Yourself

The best way to crown a favorite is to taste it. Visit Stufy's and see why generations of New Mexicans keep coming back.

We're confident you'll taste the difference.
