Nibbles
I ordered two deli sandwiches at the Keller store on Eubank — a turkey pastrami with Swiss cheese on seeded rye and a smoked turkey with Monterey jack on whole wheat. Both came with lettuce, tomato and red onion ($6.25 each). I ate the turkey pastrami and my wife had the smoked turkey.

Get A Taste of Retro Comfort at Paul's
It could take teetering toward lunk-headedness to completely forget Mother's Day, but this time around you've got a whole two days left to plan. While that might not be enough time to score a reservation at that special brunch event, trust me, the crowds can be a bit much. Choose something eclectic instead, or have a relaxing meal at home, old photo albums spread over the table, while you present Mom with a gift certificate to Paul's Monterey Inn.

Copa De Oro Serves Fresh Look, Menu
It takes more than convenience to make a mark in the competitive restaurant world. With its location in Agora, Eldorado's shopping plaza, Copa de Oro is handy for Santa Fe County residents who live in this area; an energetic neighbor could just bike or jog over for a meal. Add the restaurant's interesting new menu and the freshly painted, welcoming environment, and you've got a low-key winner.

Bamboo Needs To Fine Tune Menu's Offerings
Santa Fe's newest Chinese restaurant gives the buffet genre a different twist—a Mongolian grill. That brought me to Bamboo, and I was far from alone. In addition to the grill, Bamboo's popularity comes from the extensive menu — more than 90 choices including the traditional big-meal Chinese special: appetizers, soup, rice and your choice from a number of entrees. The prices are reasonable, the service friendly and efficient and the atmosphere welcoming.

Treat Your Inner Carnivore at Porky's
Normally, eating five kinds of meat in one meal might be cause for concern, or almost certainly some indigestion. When those five, slow-cooked and juicy as they are, are served as part of a platter amply sized for sharing, you can call off the concern and call it lunch at Porky's Pride Real Pit BBQ.

Tiny Caf
I sat at the four-stool front counter waiting for friends to join me for dinner at Café Café, and the view made me hungry. A handsome plateful of cannelloni, slim long tubes of pasta nestled beneath a blanket of chunky tomato sauce. Pizzas that looked like edible artwork. Pink salmon with stripes seared from the hot grill. I could not see inside the big white pasta bowls, but the fragrance of onions, garlic and grilled chicken drifted toward me. The more I sat, the hungrier I got.

Taj Palace Curries Favor Among Diners
The realization hit me the other night while at dinner, feasting and enveloped in the smell of curry: Bad Indian food is hard to find. This seems to be true of every establishment I've visited in the last few years. While some meals have been presented in a more simple way, all the food has been very tasty. Could it be inauthentic? Having not spent time in India or immersed in the cuisine by immigrants, it would be difficult to judge.

The Flavors of France Come To Santa Fe
There’s a new French restaurant in Santa Fe already drawing crowds. Sometimes, too much popularity too soon can cause problems. In the case of Clafoutis, which opened about two months ago, the management deals with the onslaught with a gracious smile. I’ve eaten here three times recently and liked the good food and reasonable prices.

Eat at Joe
Joe’s Diner and Pizza is a great place for food finer than you’d expect from a rather unassuming neighborhood restaurant. Our recent dinner here was a joy.

Wimpy
Every day near the noon hour, workplaces all over town are filled with the sound of crinkling paper bags. Emblazoned with primary colors, those bags are all too familiar, carrying both lunch as well as the unstated message that there’s no time for a meal. But making the time is often well worth it, especially when you can have a burger experience worlds away from your typical quick-fix establishment.
