Mac’s Steak in the Rough has been an institution in New Mexico for over 70 years. Founded by Dave McCarty in 1949 in Artesia, NM, McCarty opened Albuquerque’s first Mac’s Steak in the Rough in 1960 and the restaurant has been a New Mexican favorite ever since. The local chain was acquired by Fresquez in the early 1990’s. Featuring freshly cut and breaded juicy steak fingers, crispy fries, and our Signature Taquitas – voted the Best Taquitas in Albuquerque by Alibi magazine year after year.
