During your Albuquerque vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Los Cuates
To reason that this restaurant is only popular because of its budget-happy prices would be a slanderous insult to the kitchen. The menu specializes in authentic New Mexican fare featuring such popular choices as chicken tacos, hefty enchiladas, and a Chile Relleno that comes so smothered in cheese that one wonders if perhaps the chef has direct ties with the Wisconsin cheese industry. If the tongue begs for something other than Mexican there is also a decent selection of burgers and sandwiches. Beer and wine is available.
Hawaiian Restaurant
Located just south of Route 66 off of Central Avenue, this restaurant is waiting to be discovered. You will, no doubt, leave satisfied from this distinctively, tropical setting. The Vegetarian dishes are substantial and flavorful and the curry dishes from the Thai menu are a delight. You will find the prices modest for what you get. Over 155 authentic items with the exotic flavors of Hawaii, Japan and China are featured. The colorful cocktails have a noticeably tropical touch to them. Sake is offered in addition to a variety of import and domestic beer and wine.
66 Diner
The 66 Diner has established itself as a favorite among the locals as well as out of town visitors. Bring your appetite for great home cooking, blue-plate specials and the best milkshakes in town. The diner is located just west of the University of New Mexico on Historic Route 66. This diner is fun and fresh, lively and nostalgic. The decor is friendly and upbeat, definitely maintaining a retro-1950s and 1960s spirit. The jukebox is stocked with music from that era, and takes you down memory lane.

Crowne Plaza Pyramid
Inspired by the spectacular architecture of the Mayans, this pyramid-shaped hotel is one of the showpieces of Albuquerque hotels. The inner atrium is a full ten-stories high, with glass elevators gliding alongside a 40-foot waterfall. In the evening, the murmur of the water is accompanied by the soft music from a grand piano. Ask for a room on the upper three floors and you will be treated to a view of the Sandia Mountains or the Rio Grande valley.
