My Mom's Restaurant Closes After 2 Years | Santa Fe News

My Mom’s, a beloved Albuquerque restaurant honoring Chef Marie Yniguez’s mother, is closing for good on July 31 — a heartbreaking end to a place steeped in New Mexican culture and family history.

Yet, the love from locals continues to shine — proving that community can be a lifeline even in the toughest times.
