our favorite Old Town Albuquerque shops

Salsa Saint

Nothing says “local” like regional foods and flavors. In New Mexico, it’s all about the chile. Well, okay… also about corn, beans and squash. But mostly how they all go with chile! Salsa Saint has carefully curated the very best salsas, spices, hot sauces and chile products. Chile peppers actually have addictive properties, so the more you eat, the more you want. For those who miss our New Mexico flavors once they get home, sign up for the Salsa of the Month Club!

David Behrens Gallery

David is an incredible artist who weaves iconic New Mexico people, history, folklore and places into unforgettable pieces of art. Visiting the David Behrens Gallery will increase your understanding of the Navajo Code Talkers and their contribution to the World War II effort.

Lithographs of many of David’s works are available in unique mats. Even if you don’t have much room left in your suitcase, you can take home a special memoir with a t-shirt, mug, coaster or perhaps a small print.
