Whether we take a day trip or a road trip, stopping for a great meal is all part of the fun. It’s amazing how we can stumble upon an incredible hidden gem food spot in New Mexico when we travel off the beaten path. One such restaurant everyone should stop at is Greg’s BBQ in Belen. Coming from the Albuquerque area, it’s a great place to stop before heading to the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge.

Don't you love finding a hidden gem food spot during your travels? I certainly do! Greg's BBQ is one such hidden gem that can be found on Main Street in Belen about 35 miles south of Albuquerque.

While it may not look like much from the outside, its remodeled interior looks and feels sleek and modern. It's an enjoyable place to dine on some of the best BBQ around!

If you love great BBQ, Greg's is the place to come. From the mini brisket tacos to succulent ribs and melt-in-your-mouth pulled pork, you'll be tempted to order everything off the menu.

Burgers are also a huge deal around here too, and the meat is ground daily from Greg's brisket. Served with coleslaw, potato salad, mac and cheese, beans, or fries, you'll have an incredibly satisfying meal.
