JOY GODFREY
Santa Feans love to celebrate the authentic, and that’s exactly what’s on the menu
here: real, old-fashioned barbecue. Sure, Josh uses some high-tech equipment,
but the basic method of cooking meat low and slow over a smoky wood fire really
hasn’t changed over the millennia. That being said, this restaurant has made
several improvements on the theme since opening last summer. First, chef Josh
Baum recognizes that barbecue is not the only food we love, so there’s plenty of
chile con queso on the menu here. Look for welcome nods to local cuisine in the
barbecued brisket quesadillas, smoked chicken taquitos and green chile coleslaw.
With a location so close to the Regal Cinemas and a menu that’s extraordinarily
kid-friendly (go ahead, use your hands!), it’s easy to understand why Josh’s is Santa
Fe’s favorite new restaurant.

This is a new category for SFR’s annual poll and we really weren’t sure what kind
of responses we’d get. But it shouldn’t have been a surprise that Roque’s Carnitas
took the top slot. The scent of that sizzling grill has a way of wafting around the
whole Plaza on a warm day. The addictive aroma comes from the combination
of thinly sliced onions, green chiles and tender strips of beef cooking on Roque
Garcia’s tiny grill. Wrapped in a flour tortilla and topped with a chunky, spicy salsa,
these carnitas taste as good as they smell. Just be careful if you’re wearing white;
those juices have a way of spilling all over your shirt (especially if it’s white and
dry-clean only). You’ll almost always see hungry eaters stopped just a few feet
away, alternating bites of carnitas with slurps of lemonade. Hey, is it lunch time
yet?

Best New Mexican Restaurant When No Other Cuisine Will Do
The Shed
113½ E. Palace Ave.
982-9030
What other cuisine? Why would you
want to eat anything else when The
Shed makes posole like this? If you
don’t like posole (or if for some crazy
reason you’ve never tried it), you
must try the humble hominy stew in
this cozy old adobe on Palace Avenue.
Studded with pork, dotted with garlic
and accented with oregano, it’s got flavor! As does the refreshing gazpacho,
served ice cold, and the carne adovada, served red hot. In the summer,
you can’t beat a leisurely lunch on the
quiet patio; in the winter we like to
huddle up in one of the cozy nooks
inside. The Shed’s famous for its margaritas—we enjoy ’em year ’round!
This old adobe’s lumpy, bumpy,
curving walls are always familiar, the
service friendly and the food? It just
tastes like home.

Best Red Chile, Extra Sopaipillas Please

Oh, the irony! This downtown icon has earned this award many times before, like
when it was called the Best Red Chile to Catalyze the Endorphins (2003), Best
Red Chile So Addictive You Actually Dreamed About It Last Night (2004) and Best
Red Chile So Good It’s Actually the Reason You Haven’t Left Town (2005). But for
whatever reason, when we came up with the categories this year we were dreaming about dipping our honey-drenched sopas in velvety-rich red. And who won?
The one restaurant in Santa Fe that serves garlic bread—not sopaipillas—to soak
up the sauce. Not that we’re complaining! We love the garlic bread. We love it
almost as much as we love Chef Josh Carswell’s chile, made from powdered red
chiles sourced from a single New Mexico farm. Slathered all over stacked blue corn
enchiladas or snuggling up against two fried eggs in huevos rancheros, The Shed’s
red chile has been tickling our fancy since 1953.

Best Green Chile (and It Can’t Be in Your Freezer)

JOY GODFREY
Santafean Magazine
Here’s the question that’s on
our minds right now: What’s
gonna happen when the
Railyard is finished? Will we
have even more competition for a table at Tomasita’s?
Damn you urban development! The addictive sting of
the green chile at this converted railroad station house
is no secret; that’s why folks
line up for the pleasure of a
few minutes spent tucked into
a hunch, fork in hand, over a
plate of enchiladas smothered
with this luscious chile. That’s
a pleasure we can all share,
because Tomasita’s wisely
decided years ago to offer a
full menu of vegetarian-friendly dishes, including meat-free
chile. Hooray! Sure, the bright,
fruity flavor of green chile is
most pronounced against the
earthy flavor of a fat tamale
Tomasita’s
but, sometimes, when you
really need a fix, the best bet
is to just order a whole bowl
of the green, get a sopa on the side and sink into bliss.

It’s pretty easy to understand how these two Santa Fe institutions could get an
equal number of votes: They both make a killer burrito. Tia’s breakfast burritos
are so big they practically obscure the plate. The Baking Company’s burritos are
big, too, but we like them because we get to pick toppings like chorizo and veggie
sausage. And while Tia’s keeps it norteño downtown, the bustling café on Cordova
Road serves breakfast with a side of yummy Oaxacan black beans. At Tia Sophia’s
you’re bound to run into your landlord, your lawyer or your legislator; at the
Baking Company, you know you’ll see that cute guy who always sits downstairs,
tapping away on his laptop. We’re sure there’s a lot of big deals being made over
sopas at Tia’s—and probably a lot of blogging going on (thanks to the free Wi-Fi) at
the Baking Company, but we just go for the food.

Best Enchiladas, and Not Just Because You Like Saying

982-9030
Now here’s the thing: People are gonna tell you that all New Mexicans serve their
enchiladas stacked, that only Texans roll their enchiladas. But it simply isn’t true.
Sure, more people here serve their enchiladas in a flat stack, but the Shed defies
stereotype by using über-traditional blue corn (native to New Mexico) to make its
rolled enchiladas. Plus, the Shed’s enchilada plate comes with pinto beans, posole
and award-winning red chile. How much more traditional can you get? Actually,
perhaps one of the most overlooked entrées on the menu here is the steak and
enchilada platter, available only at dinner. You get your choice of rib-eye or New
York strip (hello, rib-eye!), with one enchilada, plus beans and calabacitas. It is
a ridiculous orgy of deliciousness! We advise you share this platter unless you’re
bulking up for an upcoming sumo wrestling match.

El Parasol is a New Mexican restaurant.
This take-out place on Cerrillos Road is

Frito pies, chile cheese fries. El Parasol is one of the restaurants of which we are most
proud. Of course, we’re also proud of Mariscos La Playa, which embodies all the
things we love about lindo Mexico. We’re talking octopus cocktail, camarones al mojo
de ajo, mojarra frita, albondigas de camaron. The interior is as colorful as a piñata
and as welcoming as a frosty margarita. This Mexican seafood restaurant makes us
feel like we’re on our honeymoon (you know, the first one) all over again!

Summoning the energy to cook dinner is so much harder when you know you can
just run down to Andiamo and have a baby spinach salad and a bowl of penne with
spicy lamb sausage. Why bother turning on a burner when Andiamo feels just like
home? Nestled in a renovated house planted on a quiet block downtown, Andiamo
has the comfortable, familial feel so often missing from “family restaurants.” The
tables are quite close, so it’s not uncommon to be caught peering lasciviously at
another diner’s crispy duck legs (a reflection glinting from the path of drool down
your chin). Never fear; you’re among friends. Just say, “How’s the duck?” And you’ll
probably hear back, “Mmrprohggle!” That means “Delicious!” in MouthFull-ese.

Best French Restaurant, S’il Vous Plait
1 Café Paris
These days, with all the
well-heeled tourists and
downtown office workers
nibbling on crêpes and sipping café au lait, it’s hard to
imagine the muddy, donkey-lined lane that was here
100 years ago. Today, Burro
Alley really does look more
like a quaint Parisian side
street, and Café Paris seems
to fit quite well. Although
the city has seen a recent
increase in French restaurants, Café Paris remains
popular. That’s partly due
to the outstanding ambiance outside and partly
due to the crusty bread, the
appealing pastries and the
authentic, unpretentious
food. This is a great place to
sit and sip a glass of wine
on a summer afternoon.
When dinner comes, and
the city cools, it’s time to
order a hearty entrée of
boef bourguignon or some
overstuffed crêpes. Dinner
portions are big enough to
share, so order some extra
bread and leave room for
dessert!

Chopsticks are optional at Mu Du Noodles, but it’s simply more fun to twist udon

day, but a trip to Mu Du Noodles is like a once-in-a-lifetime whirlwind tour of Asia. In
one meal! This morning you didn’t even know what a daikon was, but tonight you’re
maneuvering a pan-seared daikon cake into your gaping maw, chewing and asking
incredulously, “This is made from a radish?” Yes, in the hands of a master like Mu Jing
Lau, even an ugly yellow radish can taste like heaven on earth. Make plans to eat here
with a big group of friends so you can all stick your chopsticks in each other’s plates
and taste the flavors of Thai curries, Malaysian laksa, Japanese noodles, Chinese
dumplings and Vietnamese spring rolls.

India Palace is the place to go when white bread and bologna sandwiches just
won’t cut it. Every meal at India Palace is a workout for your taste buds. “What am
I eating?” your brain asks you and the reply may well be, “I have no idea!” It may
be the nutty but mysterious flavor of chickpea flour in a cauliflower pakora or the
subtly enveloping flavor of the indulgent lamb korma, rich with cream, spices,
nuts and raisins. Sometimes you don’t need to know. Sometimes the joy of strolling into the cool dining room here is lifting the domes of the elaborate serving
dishes on the buffet and actively trying to not look at the labels. Maybe chicken
vindaloo is more fun when you don’t know beforehand that it will cause beads of
sweat to form on your forehead and drip down your nose.

disappointed here; there are waffles and pancakes and pastries, but all pale in
comparison to the wicked crème brûlée French toast. On the savory side, it’s
always tough to choose between eggs Madison (with smoked salmon and hollandaise) and the excellent fried egg sandwich. The solution? Order a mini-buffet of
side dishes like black beans with salty cheese, a plate of applewood smoked bacon
and a dish of chile cheese home fries, then top it off with an enormous piece of
chocolate cake! That’s what we do.

Best Place to Order a Steak—and Cry With Tears of Joy

104-B Old Las Vegas Hwy.
988-3333
Most of the fancy restaurants in Santa Fe offer a steak or two on the menu—and
most of those restaurants do an excellent job with high-quality cuts of beef. But
sometimes it’s not only the meat, but the atmosphere and the attitude that makes
a dedicated steakhouse so attractive. Steaksmith has a way of making you feel
like it’s OK, a good idea even, to immerse half a dozen hamster-sized shrimp into
swimming pools of butter, one by one, and then swallow them in one bite, like an
orca at Sea World. And then—why not?—go for the 12-ounce prime rib! Have a
martini while you’re at it! When the end times come, you can bet it’ll be hard to get
a table at Steaksmith.

Seafood is a rare pleasure in Santa Fe. It’s not that we can’t get high-quality fish
here; we can. Thanks to dry ice and overnight shipping, the best catch of the
coasts can be ours. But it’s not part of traditional New Mexico cuisine and, furthermore, indulging in a piece of Madagascan buttergill can set you back as much as
dinner for four at Mariscos La Playa. One of Santa Fe’s best—and best-known—
Mexican restaurants, Mariscos is the kind of place where you order a bucket of
Coronitas and decimate the cracker basket while slurping up a plate of oysters on
the half shell. A couple of beers tends to give you courage and next thing you know
you’re happily throwing down octopus tentacles and watching shark fajitas sizzle.

RESTAURANT
Those unpeeled latillas shade the elevated porch just right, don’t they? Even on a
hot summer day, a person can crave a tasty slice, can’t she? And Upper Crust is the
coolest place to get one. Sure, Upper Crust has some fancypants toppings, and you
can make your pie all gourmet if you want to, but why bother when the regular old
pepperoni and sausage is so freakin’ good? It flops over the edge of the plate, just
the way you like (and it won’t empty your wallet, either.) During the winter, the
aroma of yeasty crust and tangy tomatoes wafts down Old Santa Fe Trail, luring
hungry legislators by their flaring nostrils. But don’t worry, it’s not all suits slurping
sauce here; Upper Crust attracts a regular clientele of local workers on their lunch
hours, hungry tourists out for a casual dinner that doesn’t involve green chile and
families stopping in for a mid-afternoon snack. Don’t forget to try the stromboli
next time: More crust for your money!

The Cowgirl is Santa Fe’s unofficial living room. Let’s take a little tour! Here in the big
room are the grown-ups, drinking grown-up drinks and thinking vaguely about eating
some of whatever it is that smells so dang delicious. Over here, a band is setting up
to play and pushing the tables slightly aside in case folks want to kick up their heels a
little. Now here comes a herd of young’uns, stampeding out of the Kiddie Corral and
racing through the living room…er…bar, hollering for more quesadillas or chicken
fingers or baked potatoes. Say what? Well, of course they mean a heaping, freezing
pile of ice cream made to look like a dusty spud—one of the Cowgirl’s specialties. It’s
reasons like this that make everyone’s favorite watering hole such a perfect spot to
feed and water the kids, too.

Best Dessert—Who Needs an Entrée?
1 Chocolate Maven
821 W. San Mateo Road
984-1980
JOY GODFREY
Seriously, who needs an entrée when there’s chocolate, right? After all, calories are
just calories. They all go to the same place in the end (meaning: your end) so why
waste time on meat and veg? (OK, the sandwiches and pizzas and soups are freakin’
fantastic, but let’s not stray from the point here.) There are chocolate truffle cups and
chocolate mousse tarts and coconut chocolate macaroons in that case! So go ahead
and tell yourself that you’re going to Chocolate Maven—not for the chocolate—for
just an egg white Florentine omelet or an artichoke pizza. But do you know how
many calories are in all that cheesy mushroomy goo stuffed inside your egg white
omelet? Pretty close to 1 bajillion (give or take 999 jillion). So why not spend your
quota for the week on a double decker brownie? That’s what we do. And we’re professionals.
Chocolate Maven
Señor Murphy’s
OK, we’ve established the importance of chocolate as a part of the diet. So when
you’re not pretending that chocolate crème brûlée is the most vital way to meet your
daily intake of calcium, when you’re being totally honest with yourself (I need chocolate now or I’m going to die!), it’s Señor Murphy that does the best job of supplying
Santa Fe’s recommended daily intake of Vitamin Choc. When the levels of Vitamin
Choc in our bloodstream get low, we go straight for the organic truffles. Each dark
brown ball contains enough essential chocolate elements to last a week. (Although,
who are we kidding? There’s five in a box and we can eat them faster than you can
count them.) Dark chocolate nut bark, however, comes in some pretty large pieces.
So when your doctor tells you to eat a little piece of chocolate every day because of its
antioxidant properties, it’s probably fair to call that quarter-pound slab of chile pistachio bark one piece. As long as you finish it in one sitting!

you shop at Trader Joe’s

if you need to make a
show of it by throwing
some white asparagus
tips, orange blossom
hand soap, dried sour
cherries, Greek yogurt,
Niman Ranch pork,
ginger/almond granola
and San Pellegrino
in the cart, then go
ahead. That’s what
everybody else does!
Dash in to grab a premade sandwich or
salad for lunch and oh,
hey, is that $6 Pinot
Noir? Well, won’t that
go well with the farfalle
tonight? And making a
quick stop for all-natural dog food and fennel
toothpaste would be
a waste of time if you
didn’t come home with
some Grüner Veltliner,
right? How are you
supposed to test the
tensile strength of
those fancy reusable
bags if you don’t see
how many bottles of
Burgundy they’ll hold?
Hell, the frisée and basil only weigh 2 ounces combined!

If you don’t drink wine, then you probably think of La Casa Sena as that pretty
place in Sena Plaza where you can sit on a breezy summer afternoon and enjoy
a luscious glass of… Diet Coke? (What do those people drink, anyway?) For the
rest of us, this place stands out for one thing: the incredible wine list. A perpetual
winner of Wine Spectator awards, Casa Sena brags that its selection is the biggest
between Chicago and Las Vegas. We have no way of knowing whether that’s true
or not, but we don’t really care. There’s not much on the list under $50, but the
selection is astonishing. The list of half-bottles is encouraging when you want to
try something fabulous, but a little out of your range, and the by-the-glass choices
will spoil you for every other restaurant in town.

and tequila (salt optional). But Maria’s menu of more than 100 margaritas makes
it so, so, so hard to order a beer with your enchiladas. The restaurant’s distinctive touch is the use of lemons, not limes, for its margaritas, a substitution that
most people don’t seem to care one whit about. The depth of the bar’s stock of
real tequilas—meaning tequilas made in Mexico, from blue agave—and the staff’s
knowledge of them encourages heavy sampling, but watch out! You’d better order
a bunch of food first and then call a cab to take you home—you’re gonna fall in
love with tequila here! If you take advantage of the samplers, and share them with
a friend, you’ll find out more about what you like and still be sober enough to try a
margarita made with your new favorite small-batch tequila.

well-known as Maria’s, the margaritas here are excellent, made with an in-house
sweet-and-sour that’s made with fresh lime juice. When somebody else is paying, we like the $35 Paradise Margarita, made with El Tesoro Paradiso and Grand
Marnier Cuvee du Centenaire. When somebody else is driving, too, we like to sip
some samples from the carefully chosen tequila menu. But enough about margaritas, the martinis at Rio Chama are perhaps even better. We’re particularly fond of
the Green-Tea-ni, made with the curiously delicious Charbay green tea vodka and
honey.

Southsiders have been loyal to Java Joe’s for years. It’s not just the strong coffee,
the tasty Chai, the bagels and the pastries (although those things are, indeed,
selling points). But what makes Java Joe’s beloved is its independent coffeehouse
flavor, exemplified with free Wi-Fi, local art on the walls and always-friendly service. That’s why it was such good news when owners Dave and Colleen Merriman
opened their second location, downtown, last September, giving coffee and independence lovers alike a second option for their daily java than that white-cupped
corporate coffee on the other side of the DeVargas Center. Hey, sometimes corporate coffee is your only option. Like, say when you’re stuck in some Midwestern
airport and your flight has been delayed by eight hours and you’ve already eaten
gummy barbecued pork and read all of US Weekly and sat in the massage chair at
Brookstone. But this is Santa Fe, and you’re not trapped in an airport.

There’s something incredibly sexy about spending a lot of money on food, isn’t

you’re trying to impress somebody, that works. Be sure to tell them when you
call that it’s a special evening and see if you can get a seat in a quiet corner
where you can snuggle together as you nibble on beautiful, beautifully constructed food. Don’t expect it to be quiet in these big, open rooms, and don’t
expect to fade into the bright white walls. It’s romantic, but you’ll be on display
as much as the food. Expect some changes now that Martin Rios has taken over,
with more classical French techniques and a little more Southwestern flavor to
the food.

Bobcat Bite
420 Old Las Vegas Hwy.
983-5319
You know how when you have
people come in from out of
town and they ask you, “Where
should we go to get a burger?”
Bobcat Bite is what we always
tell them. In a town that’s sometimes criticized for pretension,
the Bite is refreshingly free of
unpronounceable dishes and RC
Gorman posters. It’s as if your
really uncool Grandma opened
a restaurant in her house and all
of a sudden you realized, wait,
Grandma’s actually the coolest
gal I know! Here the waitresses
wear T-shirts with bobcats on
them, the walls have pictures of
bobcats on them—and you will devour a green chile cheeseburger as if you were
a starving bobcat! The menu is short and sweet; nothing unpronounceable here
(unless your mouth is too full to ask for another milkshake). The burgers are what
bring ’em in. Funny thing is, though, that Bobcat Bite doesn’t actually serve fries.
(They don’t have a deep fryer.) The Bite’s win in this category, therefore, just means
the burger is so good it makes up for the lack of fries.

The Santa Fe National Forest has released their proposal for managing motorized travel, which designates a system of roads, trails, and
areas for all motor vehicle use. The proposal or “scoping phase” is the start of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process for
this project. During the scoping phase, individuals or groups who are interested and/or affected by the proposal are encouraged to
comment on and identify significant issues related to the proposal.
Proposed Changes Include:
x Roads and trails available for motorized use;
x Motorized cross country travel;
x Motorized access to dispersed camping and to retrieve downed game.
Thirteen public scoping meetings have been scheduled from July 28 through August 20, 2008. The format for these meetings include an
open house, a presentation, and a question and answer session. During the meetings, Forest Service staff will review and discuss the
proposed action and maps, and take comments on community issues and concerns.

When you call Mucho, you’d

For the guy in the blue suit

no red hot chile); for the “freespirited” receptionist, there’s
the Avocado Prima (with plenty
of sprouts and absolutely no
meat). Sure, most lunch joints
in Santa Fe serve sandwiches,
but few cover the bases—from
melts and grinders to clubs
and subs—as well as Mucho.
You’ll never be disappointed by
some wacko combination that
someone thought up on the

the flea circus. It’s just about eating great food, drinking great wine and having a
helluva good time doing it. The wine and food seminars are a blast—if you can get
registered in time—but the main event is the Grand Food and Wine Tasting, held
every year on the grounds of the Santa Fe Opera. Here you will see anyone and
everyone worth seeing. You will taste food from every restaurant in Santa Fe worth
eating at (almost) and you will drink wines you cannot buy at Walgreens (or anywhere else, for that matter). The event reminds you that Santa Fe is an awfully big
little town, and that’s why we love it.
