Frommer's "Set in an early 1700s hacienda, this restaurant serves delicious breakfasts and good sandwiches and New Mexican food, but you'll have to bring along patience as your dining partner." Full review

The enchiladas are flavorful, but be sure to order them with extra chile, as the cafe is stingy with its sauces.
Lonely Planet "The food is good for the plaza area, and the cafe is historic and huge, with a nice patio. Try the Spanish hot chile dip or the veggie fajitas." Full review
Fodor's "Built in the early 1700s, this structure is among the oldest in New Mexico." Full review

Request the courtyard for alfresco dining amid trellises of sweet grapes and flowers, and where a classical and flamenco guitarist often performs.

Gayot "In a town famed for its chile, the oft-thronged, cash-only lunch counter in the back of Duran Central Pharmacy serves up some of the best---red or green." Full review
Fodor's "This expanded Old Town lunch counter with a dozen tables and a tiny patio just might serve the best tortillas in town." Full review

Be sure to leave some browsing time for the pharmacy's book section: Duran's has a good selection of not easily found history and coffee-table volumes covering the Duke City and its storied environs.
Zagat "This local haunt in Albuquerque’s Old Town serves New Mexican classics including its signature hand-rolled tortillas plus enchiladas, tacos and more." Full review
