How do I experience a restaurant participating in Restaurant Week?

To make a reservation, click on the restaurant and you can connect with their website, Open Table (if they are a member), or find their phone number to call them directly. Due to the expected popularity of this event, advance reservations are strongly encouraged, but walk-ins are appreciated. There is no guarantee that walk-in guests will be accommodated.
What if a restaurant's prix-fixe menu doesn't show a vegetarian option?
Simply ask the restaurant for their vegetarian offering. All chefs will gladly prepare vegetarian meals and are happy to accommodate any other dietary preferences.
Do you have to order off the prix-fixe menu during New Mexico Restaurant Week?
No. Most participating restaurants will be offering their standard menus as well. Diners may order a la carte from the regular menu or choose the three-course, prix-fixe menu.
What are restaurants offering during Restaurant Week?
Most participating restaurants will present a prix-fixe dinner option consisting of three courses (appetizer, entrée and dessert). 2023 menus will range from $29 to $69 per person, depending on the restaurant. Prices do not include beverages, tax and gratuity. Many restaurants may also offer special two- or three-course lunches and set their lunch prices individually.
Is tipping included in the price?
No, tips are not included, but servers work especially hard and making less per table during Restaurant Week. Tipping is recommended at 20 percent or more of your total menu cost. Remember, without our hard-working servers, the event would not be possible.
