How to Eat Like a Local in Albuquerque
New to the 505? Here's how to order New Mexican food like you've lived here your whole life.
Rule #1: Know Your Chile
Locals always have an answer to 'red or green?' If you can't choose, order Christmas and get both. It's a rite of passage.
Don't be shy about heat, but ask your server how spicy today's chile is running.
Rule #2: Smother Everything
In New Mexico, 'smothered' isn't optional — it's a way of life. Burritos, enchiladas, and eggs are all better under a blanket of chile.
And always save room for a honey-drizzled sopaipilla at the end.
Rule #3: Go Where Locals Go
Locals favor family-owned spots with house-made chile and decades of history — exactly what Stufy's has offered since 1968.
