This is a great place for high profile events, like the annual Balloon Fiesta, where hundreds of hot air balloons take to the skies. I personally haven’t attended, but if you have the patience for crowds (and money for the higher hotel prices), I congratulate you.
Albuquerque is a great launch point to several National Park Service units in the area.

New Mex-A-Que Food Truck: Located outside Marble Brewing Co, it offered multiple varieties of tacos. I went with chicharron and carnitas…full of meat.

Santa Fe Brewing Co: I know, you should probably go to Santa Fe Brewing in Santa Fe, not Albuquerque…but the venue here is pretty cool. It’s basically a bunch of shipping containers converted into a shopping, dining, and drinking space.
