ABQ, NM

Visiting ABQ, NM offers a unique culinary experience, especially at local spots like the Sawmill Market. One of my favorite finds was the pulled pork dish — it was incredibly creamy and flavorful, making it stand out from typical barbecue offerings. The balance of spices and tenderness of the meat made every bite memorable. I also highly recommend trying the Truffle Mushroom Pasta from Tulipani Pasta, which combined earthiness with a rich, savory sauce that perfectly complemented the fresh pasta. The total cost of around $15.95 is quite reasonable considering the quality and portion size. Sawmill Market itself is a vibrant space where you can explore various food stalls, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal with diverse options to satisfy different tastes. Whether you're a local or just visiting Albuquerque, spending time here offers a genuine taste of the city's growing food scene.
