Nibbles: Dee Dee's
Dee Dee's is a simple restaurant with a limited menu. But what I ordered for lunch I thought was well-prepared and enjoyable.

La Plazuela has goods but can't deliver
Re-opened after some remodeling (guests ate elsewhere in the hotel), La Fonda's classic dining room, La Plazuela, looks great.

Same beloved food, minus the cacophony
Sadie's needs little introduction, for it has built a reputation over more than a generation of chile-loving families, friends and acquaintances as a destination restaurant — when you are prepared for an hourlong dinner wait. Better that wait be where both the menu and the ownership are New Mexican through and through.

Nibbles: Kokoro
The sign on the south side of Menaul NE proclaims simply: Japanese Food.

Los Potrillos a culinary ride worth taking
If you appreciate an abundance of choices, a clean, casual dining room and a flavorful touch of Mexico, add Los Potrillos to your list of must-visit Santa Fe restaurants. I've enjoyed eating here for years because the food is consistently excellent, fresh and creative. You get your money's worth and then some.

Rodeo cooks up creative 'cowboy' grub
Just when you thought the improbably timed parade of new restaurant openings had begun to slow, along comes a Rodeo to liven up the party. Rodeo Grill fills the space previously held by Range Café on Wyoming and is the newest culinary outlet for Matt DiGregory of both Range Cafe and Standard Diner. He put at the helm three experienced managers — two educated here at Central New Mexico Community College — and let them play with a "modern cowboy food" concept.

A 'hole in the wall' you'll come back to
Red Enchilada, at home in a storefront just off Osage a few doors west of Cerrillos Road, isn't much to look at from the outside. Inside, it's equally unpretentious — simple tables and chairs and eclectic decorations including a hand-painted mural map of Central America against a bright blue background. Customers include families with kids, and the language of choice is as likely to be Spanish as English. Fliers near the front door, most of them advertising church-related events, are all in Spanish.

Nick, Jimmy breathe new life into old spot
Do you remember the first time you had to purchase furniture — that jaw-dropping realization that simple things like chairs easily cost several hundred dollars each? Multiply that not by four or six but by dozens, and a picture will start to form about the daunting work of a restaurant overhaul.

Nibbles: Dagmar's Restaurant
Seeking something German off the menu was easy, but I wanted to do it with an American twist. So I chose the Ruben ($8.95), which isn't associated with German cooking — but this delicious grilled sandwich did have sauerkraut piled high between the corned beef and Swiss cheese. So high that I used a fork to scoop up the sauerkraut that fell onto the plate. The sandwich came on German dark rye. The rye resembled pumpernickel. And I chose a side of German-style potato salad, which seemed to be swimming in vinegar.
