This old country inn kitchen is one of those special finds for good food, pleasant surroundings, and reasonable prices. Cheerful waiters and waitresses serve excellent food in a light, airy setting but be prepared to wait in line on occasion. A lot of other people already know what a great place it is. This restaurant will remind you of the gingerbread houses and calico kitchens in the fairy tales you loved as a child. Choose from garden greens, old time favorites, specialty croissants and goodies galore for sandwiches, salads and desserts that brighten our already sunny days in New Mexico.
Authentic hand tossed New York style pizza baked on stone. We also offer a variety of sandwiches, house salads, spaghetti, garlic knots, and calzones.

The Slate Street Café is a favorite with the crowd who work at the nearby courthouses. You can dine at the downstairs restaurant or go upstairs to the Wine Loft to enjoy a drink. The restaurant also makes for a fun or romantic spot for dinner and Saturday brunch. The Wine Loft plays host to monthly tastings. The restaurant also hosts the Albuquerque Songwriter Series, an initiative of the City Music Office. The goal of the Series is to showcase songwriters from all genres of music by presenting an evening exploring song craft in an intimate setting. The Series runs 7p-9p on the first Thursday of each month and admission is free.
Weck's
Monroe's is where native New Mexicans go to get their chile fix. The restaurant serves authentic New Mexican cuisine, which is a very particular style of food that draws from Mexican and Pueblo Indian culinary traditions. Almost everything on the menu, from enchiladas to chile rellenos (green chiles stuffed with cheese or meat and deep fried), comes with your choice of red or green chile, both made from the same plant. If you're feeling adventurous and want to sample both, ask for "Christmas". For those who can't take the heat of spicy chile, Monroe's also has a "gringo" menu that includes hamburgers, sandwiches, and fried chicken. Save room for dessert, as the restaurant serves green chile apple pie and chipotle cherry pie, as well as traditional Mexican flan.

The same signature tacos we're known for in Elephant Butte - plus several menu items developed specifically for the Albuquerque location.
