New Mexico sans chiles - is it possible?
Thank you all for your recommendations, especially the emphasis to the servers. An additional constraint was that my husband has a narrow window in which he can eat dinner so distance to recommended locations was a factor also.
In Albuquerque, it was our host's choice so we went to La Hacienda and Garcia's Cafe at which both places my husband resorted to eating a salad. On my own, I was able to check out Little Anita's, Barela's Cafe, and the Golden Crown Bakery. Golden Crown was great and lived up to their ideal of nutritious, delicious, and beautiful; they now also serve pizza with a blue cornmeal crust.
In Abiquiu, we ate at the Abiquiu Inn where we had grilled cornmeal dusted trout, mine on a salad and my husband's in tacos with all the good stuff on the side.
That evening in Taos, we had to go to someplace within walking distance of where we were staying so had dinner at Caffe Renato - nothing special but generous servings of wine. The next day we ate at the Tiwa Kitchen in Taos Pueblo: grilled buffalo meat and blue cornmeal fry bread.
In Santa Fe, we lunched at the Anasazi Inn across from the history library where we were doing research. He had a salad (again) and I had seared ahi tacos with jalapeño-cilantro cream drizzled with unnecessary chili oil.
La Paragua in Española wasn't a feasible option so we ended up at Chili's, and in Bernalillo we headed for the Range Cafe but came across the Flying Star first. The best thing of what we ate there was the raspberry peach pie.
Lastly, in Acoma Pueblo we lunched at the Yaak'a Cafe in the cultural center. He had a very simple ham sandwich and I had a potato and lamb stew. Simple, satisfying, a bit underseasoned.
New Mexico sans chiles - is it possible?
My husband and I will be in Northern New Mexico next week on a research trip. However, my husband has acid reflux and can't eat chiles, tomatoes, cheese, or garlic. I've looked through the many wonderful recommendations on the board but most are for regional specialties.
Can you please suggest some moderate-priced options for us? We''ll be going to:
Bernalillo, Española, Santa Fe, Abiquiu & Taos.
thanks!
good food, cute ambiance for date nite w hubby in Santa Monica
I went to One Pico last Friday for dinner and it was very good. Cocktail on the partio with heat lamp and then a yummy dinner in the dining room with ocean view and a fireplace.
