All-night diner near the University of New Mexico campus. The food is ok (we recommend the cinnamon rolls), but it's the people watching that is unbeatable. If you can, snag a table in the John Wayne room, decorated in portraits of the Duke himself.

Fast food at its very finest. This beloved New Mexican hamburger chain is actually best-known for its breakfast burritos, which are served only in the mornings until 10, but are big enough to last you most the day. We prefer ours "Christmas" style, with both red and green chile.
