Albuquerque is
becoming an increasingly popular destination for young people, recently being named a top-20 city for 20-somethings.
If you’re young
and full of energy, you’ve probably still got quite a few “partying” years in
front of you, and an essential part of being a young adult in 2013 is
satisfying those late night cravings with a few friends.
There are lots
of options in Albuquerque when it comes to eating after midnight, whether you
like sweets, burgers, or authentic Latino or New Mexican cuisine.
The folks over
at ABQ Newscastic put together a list of 10 places
young (or old) Albuquerquians can stop for a late night bite. Here are some of
them:
The 505 Go-To's
Let's get this
one out of the way. IHOP, Village Inn, Denny’s and Waffle House are always
available. Out of those options, I prefer the Village Inn on Yale. Real
Burqueños will agree, Frontier is THE place to eat after midnight. It used to
be open 24 hours, but due to some rowdy nights, now it only stays open till 1
a.m. You should probably order something that includes fresh tortillas or a
cinnamon roll. Albuquerque is still in love with the Coca-Cola Freestyle drink
machines, allowing for 100 flavor combinations of coke. (Yes, Burqueños really
do refer to every soft drink as coke.) Order a small drink, and you can get
refills till they close.
Brickyard Pizza
The Lobo
Breadsticks alone are worth a visit to Brickyard Pizza, but they also have some
good pizzas, salads and subs. Brickyard Pizza is open till 1:30 a.m. every day
except Sundays. On Fridays and Saturdays, they take delivery orders until 2:30
a.m.
Cesar's Mexican & Greek
Is it 3 a.m. and
you’re craving Mexican or Greek? How about Mexican AND Greek? Cesar's reigns as
Albuquerque The Magazine's Best of the City for late-night food. You want a
gyro and your friend wants a carne asada burrito? This is your spot. Wash it
all down with some sweet horchata.
Downtown Food Trucks
On Friday and
Saturday nights, Downtown has numerous food trucks. There is no shortage of
tacos or burritos in the Downtown.
If you are
looking for late night BBQ, you can’t go wrong with Joanie & Art’s BBQ. It’s a blue RV that you can’t miss in front
of Sister Bar.
Keru’s Mexican Food has the best
burritos of the bunch.
Llovet’s Pizza and More is a yellow
truck that offers delicious pizza plus burgers, tacos and burritos.
This Saturday I
noticed a new trailer called Flaming
Potato Grill. I look forward to trying the chile relleno burrito.
Central between
3rd Street and 5th Street
