I've never had better food for an entire vacation than I did the time I went to Albuquerque and Santa Fe. I highly recommend La Tertulia in Santa Fe -- try the black bean jalapeno soup. Unfortunately, I can't remember the names of the restaurants I loved in Albuquerque. One of them was right in the old town square, and might have had "Mary" in its name. I seem to recall that to get in to the restaurant we walked into a courtyard adjacent to the square. Have a great time!

You won't find any roasted armadillo with green chile raspberry truffle sauce here... skip From X Sat Jan 29 11:22:40 EST 1994 Article: 7233 of rec.food.restaurants
Also in Santa Fe don't miss Pasquals. If you can spend a little extra -well, maybe more than just a little - get to Santacafe, probably THE New Mexico restaurant. The most well-known and expensive restaurant, with a national reputation, is The Cayote, but that really is overpriced for the quality of food. Good late-night burgers ath the San Fransicso.

I am a great fan of Coyote Cafe food, and while expensive I don't think it's overpriced. It's no more expensive than Cafe Pasquales anyway. Coyote Cafe food is very innovative. Lots of neat combinations. I was underwhelmed by Pasquales. - YMMV On the whole you'll get good food everywhere in Santa Fe though (No I haven't actually tried every restaurant). Be prepared for occasional digestive problems though, a constant diet of chiles (including breakfast) can be a bit trying on all but the most hardened stomachs.

It is in a shopping plaza. I had a dish that was ground beef spiced with cinnamon and raisins stuffed in a chile. It was absolutely delicious. This restaurant is not nearly as expensive as many other well-known restaurants in Santa Fe.
