La Hacienda in Albuquerque NM…

La Hacienda Burrito Express

ristraWhen you travel to New Mexico and you are a foodie of any type you have to eat some classic New Mexican food smothered in either red or green chili, or both as is my preference. Now the chili in New Mexico isn’t just any chili – it is the Green Chili also called the Hatch Green Chili. In and around Demming and Hatch, New Mexico is where most all of these chilis are grown. Green Chili comes from freshly picked chilies roasted over open fire until the skin peels away. Red Chili come from the ripened red chilies that are dried and then reconstituted into a thick pasty red sauce.

These chilies will spice up and flavor any food item you  order from the unassuming little spot in east Albuquerque called the La Hacienda Burrito Express. You find this unpretentious little spot at 4300 Eubank Blvd NE in Albuquerque, NM. Order in or to go at their drive through.

They specialize in burritos and I would recommend you get one with Carne Adobada and make sure to order it with both red and green chili sauce. Below is the sign at the take out window so you can see the variety of food they have to offer as a quick take out meal that will beat the socks off of any fast you have had before.

We even stopped by one morning and had their Huevos Rancheros for breakfast and all I can say is order it… This fantastic little Road Treat is not only super tasty but it also won’t put a dent in your eating out budget…

  2. Old Town is as you would guess Albuquerque's oldest neighborhood. It's a must see for the first time visitor. It's filled with shops, boutiques, galleries and artist studios. The plazas are beautiful and have the southwest feel, which is what you come to New Mexico looking for. Check out the San Felipe de Neri Church and stroll around. It's a great way to spend an afternoon.
