*** Not a food place ****

Oh man, I missed it. Again.

Last week was the Fall semi annual tour of the Trinity Site where the first atomic bomb was set off.

Public tours are allowed only twice a year, April and October.

I must make some sort of note to remind me to get out there next year.

Trinity Info .

And that reminds me, not a food place, but Albuquerque has the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History. Fascinating place.

Try El Modelos great food but only take-out, or Garcia's kitchen or El Pinto for Mexican food.

Now for Whataburger. I understand there is much to know about this establishment - not so secret secret menus and the like - so I figured I should ask the Forum about it prior to sampling their menu.

Double cheese burger with everything plus jalapenos.

You are welcome.

This.

Can't think of a better time to be in Albuquerque than this time of year and the annual balloon festival. If this is your first time I'm guessing you guys will have an awesome time and will get some great pics!

Can't go wrong with a McRib...and the one and only time I ate at a Whataburger (CA) I was very impressed with how clean the place was and how friendly the entire staff was (elderly lady that took my order even wished me a Merry Christmas!)...but the burger meal itself was just average, not terrible, not great.

Not on your list, but if you want to try some authentic local cuisine try Sadies . Been there for decades. Most people would call it Mexican food, but they get in a bit of a twist and consider themselves NewMexican food. They are renowned for their Stacked Quesedillas and Margaritas, but plenty of other delicious menu items.

On the chance you make it up to Santa Fe you can't beat grabbing a bite at the Ore House on their deck overlooking The Plaza, for a burger and beer. Doh, after checking it looks like the Ore House moved...then later closed...that's a shame!

Oh well, still a perfect time to be in the Land of Enchantment!

Dion's Pizza. Several locations. Try the Duke City pizza (turkey, cheddar, green chile). I know, it doesn't sound all that great, but I was surprised and that's all I get when I go there.

If you head NW, stop at El Bruno's in Cuba. They have one in ABQ too, but I haven't been. Try the flash-fried spinach.

Finally, the Range Cafe, several locations.

Had a double cheese & jalapeño w/ onion rings.

I was not disappointed!

Thanks, all.

Balloon Fiesta - so very jealous. I was at Kirtland AFB from 2008-11.

You need a breakfast burrito from Golden Pride. They almost certainly have a stand at BF. Another great breakfast place is Weck’s.
