Eating My Way Thru NM

New Mexico - September 2015, bring your fur baby as it is very dog friendly in Sante Fe
  • Tortilla Flats (3139 Cerrillos Rd, Sante Fe NM 87505) - don't forget to order Christmas style (red and green chile); so good, we had to buy a dozen tortillas to go!
 
  • Cafe Pascal's (121 Don Gaspar, Sante Fe NM 87501) - small and cozy inside, we shared a community table with other tourists; went for the Tamal Dulce but they don't serve it anymore, so had the Grilled Polenta with Sauted Chorizo, Corn, and Red Chile.
  • Don't forget to stop by the Sante Fe Farmers Market at The Railyard on Saturdays!
  • The Shed (113 1/2 E Palace Ave, Sante Fe NM 87501) - cute, courtyard outdoor patio with a guitar player; had the Chicken Enchilada Plate (with blue corn tortillas).
  • Don't forget to visit Canyon Road for some art shopping!
  
  • Sante Fe Bite (311 Old Sante Fe Trl, Sante Fe NM 87501) - diner style with another nice outdoor open air patio; highly recommend the Green Chile Cheeseburger, oh so good!
  • Ecco Espresso & Gelato (105 E Marcy Ave, Sante Fe NM 87501) - stroll through The Plaza one evening for Stracciatella Gelato.

  • La Plazuela Restaurant in La Fonda (100 E San Francisco St, Sante Fe NM 87501) - nice ambiance courtyard indoor patio with fountain; Huevos Rancheros, enough said; have a Bell Ringer Margarita (jalapeno tequila) in the Bell Tower Bar on the 5th floor for great views of Sante Fe!
  • If you see a guy selling fruits and veggies out of the back of a pickup truck on the side of the road, buy the Opuntia (aka tuna, prickly pear, cactus); kinda tastes like a kiwi with big hard seeds.
