When it comes to taking the entire family out to eat, we know it can get pricey very quickly. But we also admit that sometimes parents need a break from doing it all, not to mention a break in our wallets. So, we have gathered all the places in the Albuquerque area into one list that let kids eat free, or close to it!
Thank you to Waterford Upstart for sponsoring this guide.
