66 Diner

1405 Central Ave. NE, Albuquerque, NM - (505) 247-1421
The 66 Diner is a good place to taste food unique to New Mexico. First and foremost is the green chile cheeseburger, in which chopped-up spicy green chilies supplement the usual package of meat and melted cheese. You can also have enchiladas made with chile, and good ol’ green chile stew, served with wheat tortillas on the side.

"The 66 Diner has good food and a great nostalgic family atmosphere. It is also very busy. Avoid going there during prime time at all costs! We waited for over forty minutes for our food and had to finally leave to catch a show. We were continually told it would be ..."   [Read More]

The Teeny Weeny Sundae is the perfect $.99 dessert when you've already indulged in some of the famous 66 Diner meals. One little condiment cup holds a pool of thick fudge sauce, topped with a small (1/4 cup?) scoop of ice cream, then finished with whipped cream, peanuts, a drizzle of fudge, and a cherry.

Open-face Southwestern burger. Didn't realize it was an open-face sandwich when I ordered it, but I still enjoyed it.

Chilies are fundamental to New Mexican food, even at the 66 Diner, which is more hash house than native-foods restaurant.

It's a handsome place by day; at night, the 66 Diner glows.

Central Avenue in Albuquerque is a bonanza of reminders of what Route 66 used to be like through most of the Southwest.
