Rustic yet casually upscale with warm wood, candles and low light, locals bring out-of-town visitors to this secluded bar and restaurant for an authentic taste of traditional New Mexican cuisine. While the menu includes great burgers, salads, steaks and fresh fish, the real treasures are from The Santa Fe Trail. Try the roasted garlic platter, bacon wrapped shrimp, green chili stew or the carne adovada, pictured, which features pecan smoked pork slow-simmered in red chile and slathered with a layer of cheese. Pair it with one of the specialty tequilas. For breakfast, check out some of the Southwest's best huevos rancheros or tuck into the Eggs Benedict, spiced with hot jalapenos.
