Food trucks
in New Mexico.

New Mexico's truck scene runs through Albuquerque and Santa Fe, with the state's distinctive cuisine appearing in both classical and crossover form. The red/green chile divide is in full effect — most trucks default to a red chile or green chile drizzle on every protein, and customers expect to be asked. Albuquerque's scene leans more populist; Santa Fe trends upscale with farm-to-truck operators using the state's strong agricultural identity. The breakfast burrito truck is a New Mexico institution. The state's truck regulations are friendly and the dry, mild climate supports year-round operation. The food is hotter than anywhere outside Louisiana.
