Downtown Albuquerque—Home to Civic Plaza and Nightlife

When it comes to nightlife, community, and fine dining, Downtown Albuquerque is the place to be. While a large section of this neighborhood is residential, it’s also home to the BBVA Compass high-rise and the Civic Plaza, home to many outdoor community events.

Best Places to Eat in Downtown Albuquerque

Downtown is a hub to many great restaurants in the city. One that’s definitely a favorite is Monroe’s Restaurant. This eatery has been around since 1962, and they serve up the best New Mexican food. Their house specialties include fish tacos and seafood enchiladas. And their green chile, red chile, and salsa are nationally loved. They have a bustling e-commerce side to their business selling their famous sauces. One Google reviewer, Karra C. shared, 

“Delicious, authentic New Mexican dishes that inspire your taste buds. My grandmother and I had the best first-time experience here at Monroe’s. We were treated like family, and I appreciate your outstanding services with our knowledgeable, helpful server. Not to mention the food was cooked from the heart & it really tasted home.”

Another local favorite is Cocina Azul. Pouring over with New Mexico pride, the sign on their doorpost says, “Get your chile on!” So you know you’re going to experience delicious New Mexican cuisine here. Aside from the typical New Mexican dishes, they also have excellent breakfasts like Carne Adovado Eggs. And you can order some of their items in bulk, like the legendary posole.

What makes you different than other SEO companies in Albuquerque?

Communication. Most SEO companies in Albuquerque will send you a monthly report and only talk to you when there’s a billing issue. The moment you sign up with us, you’ll be blown away by how often our team communicates various updates to your campaign. We’re big on reporting (daily), so you can track your campaign’s progress in real-time. Additionally, you’ll have a consistent monthly meeting with your account rep to keep you in the loop with everything we’re doing and collaborate with you on all your marketing efforts.

How long does it take to get results with SEO in Albuquerque?

SEO services are traditionally known as the slowest form of internet advertising because the changes you make to your site today could take 3-6 months (or much longer!) to affect your search engine rankings. It can take even longer to see significant results in areas with high competition (large metros or competitive industries).
