| Padilla's is a family-run New Mexican restaurant that has been serving good huevos rancheros, carne adovada burritos and tamales to the generations of Albuquerqueans who are gladly willing to wait in line for them. Once you find a table among the hordes, your server automatically brings a bowl of medium-hot salsa and a basket of toasted tortilla chips. Munch on those while you narrow your choices down to a couple of favorites, including those huevos rancheros served with beans and rice. While traditionally a breakfast dish, the combination is plenty filling for lunch or dinner. Another traditional dish consists of plain cheese enchiladas swimming in red chile and topped with a basted egg. If you want something more Santa Fe-style, try the chicken enchiladas served with blue corn tortillas and topped with sour cream. But what you don’t want to do is come here on the weekend or without cash---in either case you’ll be out of luck. |
