Ready for some "fun?" We guarantee that you will have a fun experience eating Oriental food at Albuquerque's Fun Noodle Bar. Let's start out by saying that everyone ordered the Green Onion Pancakes as an appetizer. Then we all took different paths for our main courses. The food was out of this world terrific. The service was subdued but attentive. And lots of interesting Oriental tchotchke on the walls. Located next door to the last restaurant we reviewed, we won't let either of these terrific places fade away. We're comin' back! Just click on the following YouTube video link and see why we really, really, really recommend Fun Noodle House and especially the Green Onion Pancakes. https://youtu.be/HvideXAqc3Y?si=ycoXqwAwJ7EKuFwI

Where are we going today? Havana. No, not Havana, Cuba, but the Havana Restaurant in Albuquerque. Hidden in the corner of a strip mall hosting military recruiting offices. Well, we are all veterans, so that did not deter us. Come join the boys and one girl from the VA Creative Writing Group as we venture into a new (for us) eating establishment that is sure to reward you with their excellent food, efficient service, and enough Cuban stuff to provide the ambiance you would expect from that island nation. Just click on the following YouTube video link and watch what we ate and why we recommend the Havana Restaurant in New Mexico. https://youtu.be/-SLMceXBNX4?si=k5C9UPmG-nVksh54

Let us start out by saying that we cannot say enough about how great this place is. Food - out of this world. Service - impeccable. Ambience - judge for yourself by looking at our postings, or better yet, by visiting yourself. We have been here more than once, and we will return. Just click on the following YouTube link and see why the VA creative writing group continues to find terrific restaurants like My Moms in the Albuquerque area. https://youtu.be/rYLgLXZOh38?si=ydyMSrnzI069BVN

We love coming to the Copper Canyon Cafe. First, it is right near the VA hospital, so we can find it easily. Second, the food is really, really good. Third, the service is terrific. And finally, we love all the decorations inside. But back to the food - did you get that we love it? This is not our first time here, and it will not be our last time. Just click on the following YouTube video link to see what we ate and meet the owners! https://youtu.be/GJ0L8FVkGHI?si=BFZQeU-ENEW_r1Or

Hankering for some great submarine sandwiches? Look no further than right here in central New Mexico. The Yeller Sub Restaurant has been pleasing customers for 46 years - that makes the restaurant older than most everyone who works there, but not quite as old as Jim Tritten's mustache. Great food. Speedy service. And lots of interesting things on display, including a tribute to fallen military personnel. And yes, you get a very nice veterans' discount if you ask. Highly recommended. Just watch us enjoying ourselves by clicking on the following YouTube video link. https://youtu.be/sgYXkIjzfoo?si=GJSqXNzJ2DDvchRN

When is a food truck better than a brick-and-mortar restaurant? When they serve pastrami that no traditional eating establishment does. The CIbo Truck Experience rolls into Corrales on Fridays for lunch and dinner. Conveniently located in the heart of our small village, adult beverages can be obtained at the Ex Novo Brewing Company. Cibo is a follow-on from their Italian family (from the Bronx), who had their own deli until the parents retired. The son has kept the quality high, and a friendly staff will take your order and send you a text when it is done. Bring the kids to Ex Novo and partake of The Corral while you eat and drink in comfortable chairs overlooking the playground.
