This Regional Restaurant Is One Of New Mexico’s Favorite Places To Dine

Aside from its stunning landscapes and natural wonders, New Mexico is known for something else -- its New Mexican cuisine. We all have our favorite spots for local cuisine around the state but one regional restaurant in New Mexico you must try is The Original Cocina Azul. Open 7 days a week in Albuquerque, you can come here for breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner.

If you're craving some of the best New Mexican cuisine around and happen to be in Albuquerque, you should try The Original Cocina Azul. This wonderful eatery is located at 1134 Mountain Rd NW.

The interior of this local eatery is cozy, comfortable, and casual. And to top it all off, you can expect friendly and welcoming service here as well.

When you come here to dine, you will not be disappointed. With its delectable regional cuisine, this is as good as it gets.

Pictured here is the green chile stew, a must-order item on the menu.

How do the Rellenos covered in Carne Adovada sound? These will be some of the best you'll ever have in the city.

If you're extra hungry, order a plate. You can either try a Quesadilla Plate, an Enchilada Plate, or a New Mexico Burrito Plate. Each plate comes with your choice of meat plus red or green chile (or both), and a choice of two sides.

Of course, you cannot come to any New Mexican restaurant without having the sopaipilla. Drizzled with honey, this is one of my favorite things to eat in the state.

Craving breakfast? The Original Cocina Azul also serves breakfast all day!
