Albuquerque's best New Mexican--all facets--bar none!

El Modelo's has been a favorite of mine since the 1960's and still a favorite. I consider their food authentic and delicious. My favorite is the stuffed sopapilla. Everytime I return to Albuquerque, I make sure I eat there. FYI, my Dad used to go there in the 1930's since he lived nearby and was also a fan of their "true" Mexican food.

They put the "A" in authentic New Mexico food. I've enjoyed their food since I was a young boy. I had to move to Kansas in 1993, when we're back home, going to El Modelo is a MUST, to re-stock our freezer with their food. I don't care what I order there, it's a treat to the taste buds.I've shared some of the food I bring from El Modelo and I ALWAYS have request to bring some of their food back with me. ((I need a bigger truck)). I wish we could order their food online and have it shipped, better yet, I wish they would open a restaurant here.
They serve the best Tamales in the world, a little expensive but worth every penny. And their Carne Adovada Burrito is an addiction leaving you wanting some more. I live in Colorado and nothing has compared to them so that is why my family and I including friends try to make a trip at least a couple times a year and anything longer than that will have you depressed. If had the money and the know how I would try to team up with them and bring a restaurant to Colorado where I know it would be succesful. Until the next time I'm there I can only dream.
