Today's lunch stop, Rodeo Grill. In the old Range Cafe location at Wyoming and Montgomery. Quirky cheerful place, very colorful. All the staff was friendly. We eat lunch early (usually 11:00), so the…

I have been trying to find some juicy burgers out here in ABQ. Not the typical frozen slab, but good handmade juicy burgers, any suggestions? Also some good chinese take out would be fabulous!

Comment by keebler on January 24, 2010 at 3:57pm: I didn't like Crazy Fish. I have eaten sushi all over the country and this place is comparable to fast food sushi.

Comment by Aubrey on November 18, 2009 at 11:49am: Stop by Lotus Cafe ♡ Thai Cuisine if your in the San Mateo/E.Osuna area. The food is really great! My new favorite place.

Comment by Tim Keller on September 30, 2009 at 9:12pm: Go El Norteno! I talked to the owners and they said end of October. Will be under a different brand name as they will keep the new location as well. Welcome back to an International District staple!

Comment by ayax on September 13, 2009 at 10:04am: Noel, it's in the old Martine Grille location and it's Cosmo, folks, as in Cosmopolitan.

Comment by L. C. Sterling on September 13, 2009 at 8:45am: Balletmom,

Where on Central is Cosmos? Would love to try a Tapas place.

Comment by Balletmom on September 13, 2009 at 5:25am: Cosmos tapas on Central is a GREAT little resturaunt! A very nice, but a little small tapas menu, a nice choice of entres if you want one, a great wine menu and beautiful, if not a little crowded dining area. Good service with the owner personally checking on all diners. It is just 2 months old so a few kinks to work out but nothing that would stop me from going back over and over again. And live flamenco! The bar was lovely and I will certainly try that as well. Soccer on the TV.

Comment by Donna M. Jonas on August 21, 2009 at 9:55pm: Has anyone tried "Cafe Jean Pierre Creperie Restaurant" near Century Rio 24? I had my first foray into French cuisine this evening and it was absolutely fabulous! My friends and I had just finished watching "Julie and Julia" and you can't help but come away with a desire to eat French food. They have great food and wonderful staff! Plus, the chef is actually French! I highly recommend this wonderful eatery.

Comment by jeff on August 16, 2009 at 10:44am: you two talking about mexican or new mexican? ;-)

i'm not one who seeks out new mexican cuisine and usually think it's thrown together carelessly at restaurants, but i had a lunch at monroe's on lomas downtown and thought everything was prepared with care and consideration. i'd go back there.
