The Land of Enchantment is known for many things — natural wonders, Route 66, and the annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. It’s also known for New Mexican cuisine which includes carne adovada, chili rellenos, and sopaipillas. And while our state isn’t exactly famous for BBQ, maybe it should be. With locations in both Santa Fe and Albuquerque, Whole Hog Café offers mouthwatering and award-winning BBQ in New Mexico and it’s worth checking out.

If you love BBQ, then Whole Hog Café is the place to go. Whether you're in Santa Fe or Albuquerque, there's a location in each city.

Speaking of sides, as with any BBQ place, sides are a huge deal here. Whether it's chips, salad, jalapeño mac and cheese, coleslaw, or baked beans, you can take many of these items to go. And, believe me, you'll want to take some BBQ and sides from Whole Hog home!
