Las Vegas Restaurants

The other Las Vegas – the one in New Mexico – is a small, charming city with an accent on southwestern cuisine. Restaurants are clustered in a few areas. In the western part of town, in the stretch along National Ave. between 12th St. and S. Pacific St., you’ll find a number of good selections including Italian / pizza and Mexican / southwestern restaurants. Along Grand Ave. and off some of its intersecting streets, there’s a variety of American and diner / café places. The place to go for fast food is 7th St. near Mills Ave., with a good number of the most popular chains available. Other options in town include steakhouse fare and Vietnamese / Asian. The area is great for picnics, so consider grabbing food to-go for a day of exploring.
