There is one southwestern joint in town that is a must visit that's Cocina Azul. The place is…read morebeautiful, sharp clean and very new looking. They have ample seating in brightly lit areas and even patio seating. It was fun busy and alive on a Tuesday night. Our server was so wonderful, very happy and relaxed it's a sign of a good place. All the front staff were wonderful workers and seem to work very harmoniously. My coworker and I had t different things he got a smothered burrito and I got the brisket combo, both dishes were too much food for too grown men. Delicious and huge portions plus a really nice presentation. The wait was a bit long but that just means they are making everything before service. The only hard part was parking, it's a small lot so be prepared to walk a block or two during dinner rush. Trust me it's totally worth it!!!

Hollow Spirits Heights!…read more Got to check out the soft opening of Hollow Spirits in The Heights last night and it did not disappoint. We tried a few of their cocktails, including the Lavender Moon and a refreshing Moscow Mule. Both were seriously good. One of the coolest moments of the night was when the owners hopped up on the bar and shared their vision for the space. When Hollow Spirits officially opens in the coming months, it will be a full-service cocktail and food restaurant, and if the drinks are any preview of what's coming... it's going to be a great addition to The Heights. Excited to come back when the full concept launches.

"And don't come back!"…read more Said the female clerk to my friends. We had been there earlier in the week and did not understand New Mexico's ID requirements. We each tried to buy a bottle of wine, but, oops, my ID was with my suitcase in my hotel room. Yes we were from another state visiting for a conference. My friend said she would buy my wine since she had her ID with her (btw we are both over 65). But the clerk explained that she had to ID all parties buying alcohol. Ok. Local rules we will follow if we know them. Now we have been schooled. Several days later we return with all of our IDs in hand. Checking out, the same employee said "and don't come back!" ??? Don't worry we won't. Is this Albuquerque hospitality?
