Santa Fe, NM + Add a trip

we really enjoyed the Shed in Santa Fe - http://www.sfshed.com/home.html. one thing to keep in mind is that just about everything has green chilies in it. another great place for breakfast is the plaza cafe. this is a breakfast must (http://www.thefamousplazacafe.com/). lastly, we enjoyed the Sleeping Dog tavern for lunch or dinner - http://www.sleepingdogtavern.com/. relaxing, nice food and casual. oops, almost forgot the Pink Adobe as well. that is good food to - http://www.thepinkadobe.com/. though, we did like the Shed better than the pink adobe. the pink adobe had more odd choices fro our taste.

enjoy!

Depends on the budget. Assuming medium range, I'd say El Farol. If the weather is nice ask to be seated in the back.

Try the Tune-Up Cafe and their Purpusas or Chile Rellenos - superb. It's a small, unassuming and simple place with amazing food. Another gem is Cafe Pasqual's.

For your first time in Santa Fe I'd say eat on or near the Plaza. The Ore House is excellent, great food & service. A little on the pricey side but not too bad. Back in the day (1990s) I used to cook at La Casa Sena, they have excellent red & green chili (and singing waiters, if that's your bag). Definitely go for some native cuisine, which means red or green chili, posole, blue corn tortillas...
