Dining in New Mexico often comes with a few assumptions: your meal will almost certainly feature that fiery, pungent heat from chilis and some of our favorite ingredients from Mexican, American, and Indigenous cuisines. It’s why it’s a rare treat to find a restaurant that features the hearty and far more subtle flavors of German cuisine.

A true hole-in-the-wall, Dagmar's Delectables in Rio Rancho is one of those few eateries that serves top-notch, Old World-style dishes that will keep you and your belly happy.

Rows of sweets like handmade strudel, cinnamon rolls, and macaroon cookies line the counter. In fact, the bakery offers dozens of strudel flavor options, including some with green chiles! That's most likely why this location is also known as Dagmar's Strudel House.
