Dining in New Mexico often comes with a few assumptions: your meal will almost certainly feature that fiery, pungent heat from chilis and some of our favorite ingredients from Mexican, American, and Indigenous cuisines. It’s why it’s a rare treat to find a restaurant that features the hearty and far more subtle flavors of German cuisine.
A true hole-in-the-wall, Dagmar’s Delectables in Rio Rancho is one of those few eateries that serves top-notch, Old World-style dishes that will keep you and your belly happy.

Step inside and you’ll be met with a warm environment and the heavenly smells of desserts, schnitzel, rouladen, and more.

The pastries are what entice most folks to the bakery.

Meanwhile, black forest cake, cheesecake, and kuchen simply beg to be taken home.

The sweets aren’t the only thing Dagmar’s specializes in. You can take home a variety of freshly baked breads: rye, brotchen, and even hefty soft pretzels.
