Tacos and burritos after the show
3 places
The encore’s over, your ears are ringing, and you’re starving. Most kitchens near the downtown venues close by 10. These three are still going when the show lets out.
La Parrilla Downtown Grill
A block from the Sunshine, at Central and 1st: a new Mexican grill with a bar, so the night doesn’t have to end yet. Get carne asada tacos, or a burrito smothered in green.
Open till 2 on Friday and midnight on Saturday. It closes earlier the rest of the week.
Chalinos Tacos
A taco truck at a gas station on Broadway SE, five minutes from Central. Al pastor tacos, asada fries, and a California burrito with the fries rolled inside. Musicians come here after their sets.
Friday and Saturday till 2am, Sunday till 12:30, Wednesday and Thursday till 11:30. Closed Monday and Tuesday.
Frontier Restaurant
Across Central from UNM, a short walk from Popejoy, open till midnight. A breakfast burrito at 11pm, and a sweet roll for the walk back to the car.
Order at the counter and listen for your number.
