  • How long can Amaya stay a secret now?
    In addition to a lovely, quiet patio, Amaya offers something unique in Santa Fe and probably in New Mexico — the chance to have a meal inside a teepee.   (Thursday, July 02, 2009)

    Nibbles
    Seconds after sitting down at a table, the waiter brought me a complimentary cup of miso soup and a menu.   (Thursday, July 02, 2009)

    Don't be a fool: Chains can't touch J.J.'s
    What better way to celebrate the birthday of our country than with an immigrant dish that we've embraced and made our own: pizza. Its flattened and doughy origins can be attributed to either the Middle East or China, but pile on some cheese and meat and it becomes one of this nation's favorite foods.   (Thursday, July 02, 2009)

    Choroni finds inspiration in Venezuela
    Corn is a huge part of our lives, driving a chunk of the economy as an additive to things as diverse as gasoline and strawberry jam. It is one of the oldest cultivated foods of the Americas and in its purer forms a staple of cuisines from Mexico to the corners of South America. With that commonality of flavor Albuquerque has welcomed the Venezuelan-inspired Café Choroni since April.   (Friday, June 26, 2009)

    Pink Adobe endures as a Santa Fe icon
    When you talk about The Pink Adobe, the tendency is to begin with history.   (Friday, June 26, 2009)

    Nibbles: Los Ninos
    The meal began with the basket of homemade chips and medium-hot salsa. Even though the menu stated that there was a 50-cent charge for it, my bill didn't reflect a charge. That was an auspicious beginning.   (Friday, June 26, 2009)

    After Five Decades, in Taco Sal We Trust
    The periphery of Albuquerque has inched eastward in the last half century, either in flurries of activity or a methodical march from around San Mateo up the Sandia slope to its buildable edge. Businesses that have been around since that time tend to be located closer to Downtown or Nob Hill, but Taco Sal is an outlier. Perched in what must have been the dusty fringe of town way up on Menaul, it has churned out New Mexican comfort food for five decades.   (Thursday, June 18, 2009)

    Guadalupe Patio is Hot Spot for Summer
    One of the most popular Santa Fe restaurant patios is the long-established, umbrella-sprinkled outdoor dining space at the Guadalupe Café. Beneath the blue umbrellas, you'll find a loyal local clientele as well as a flock of hungry tourists. It's a lovely spot to catch your breath and rebuild your strength. You'll find it across the street and a block from San Miguel Mission, and a few steps from the state's well-stocked tourist information in the Lamy Building. The beautiful State Capitol art collection awaits right next door.   (Thursday, June 18, 2009)

    Nibbles
    Two fat spring rolls ($3.25) with a side cup of thick, mild peanut sauce kicked off my lunch. When I complimented the waitress on the sauce, she said I should try it with the main dish I ordered ($6.75), which is a type of banh. I got a large bowl chock-full of rice vermicelli, with bite-size square chunks of fried tofu, sprouts, sliced onion, carrots and lettuce, very small pieces of scallions and cucumbers and flecks of red chiles. The chiles were warm, but not hot to the taste.   (Thursday, June 11, 2009)
