Sadie arrived at 5:30 AM each morning, with customers already parked outside waiting for her to open. Her humble hamburger stand in the early '50s had just 9 stools, but that never stopped folks from piling in. She greeted each patron with her signature “Hi, honey!” and somehow remembered exactly how they liked their meals. Sadie Koury was a role model of classic New Mexican friendliness and hospitality, serving up comforting meals that made everyone feel right at home.

Her passion for food and service was rooted in fresh ingredients, timeless family recipes, and a warm welcome for everyone who walked through her door. Customers loved her as much as she loved them. At Sadie’s of New Mexico, we honor her legacy every day by upholding those same values and making this family-owned restaurant the very best it can be. If Sadie could see us now, we’re sure she’d be proud.

That little 9-seat stand has grown into a bustling local favorite with over 120 seats, welcoming both loyal locals and guests from all around the world who come to taste authentic New Mexican food and experience Southwestern hospitality.

From our house specialty enchiladas to our legendary stuffed sopaipillas, Sadie’s of New Mexico has been feeding the community for generations with comforting dishes packed with bold heat and flavor. And after more than 70 years, we’re still going strong!

To everyone who’s ever walked through our doors—thank you. At the heart of everything we do is the incredible support of our local community. Whether you’re a lifelong regular or it’s your first visit, we’re glad you’re here to experience Sadie’s.
