Richard's New Mexican Restaurant

Richard's New Mexican Restaurant has served New Mexican food since 1989, with a menu built on traditional recipes and house specialties like carne adovada, fideo and lentils with brown rice. Breakfast plates, huevos rancheros, breakfast burritos and omelettes are on the breakfast side of the menu, and the kitchen uses whole wheat tortillas, red potatoes and chiles made without flour or lard.

The restaurant offers a long list of vegetarian and vegan options and many gluten-free choices, which regulars with celiac disease have mentioned. Reservations can be made by phone, and the dining room is described as calm with live music on some visits. The restaurant is on Menaul Boulevard in northeast Albuquerque.
