Great local New Mexico food. Red or green chili!
While there are many excellent New Mexican restaurants, we like to get our fix at Atrisco.
For those who are not familiar with our regional cuisine, New Mexican food is not the same as Mexican food. It's all in the chili.
We particularly love the red chili at Atrisco, though the green is great as well. They also have beer on tap and they make a descent margarita.

Red or green? That's our regional cuisine. If you're new to New Mexico, New Mexican food is not the same as Mexican food. It's all in the chili.
We particularly recommend their red chili-- wonderful rich flavor-- though the green is excellent as well.

Sightseeing
Canyon Road
Canyon RoadWonder historic Canyon Road and visit eclectic galleries.
About half an hour drive away you'll find the Sanctuario in Chimayo. It's an old historic church build upon an even older site sacred to Pueblo people. This is the place where thousands gather on good Friday, sometimes walking from as far away as Albuquerque on pilgrimage.
To us, it's the closest thing in Northern New Mexico to a Hindu temple, except perhaps the Hindu temple in Taos. Gods and icons everywhere. Anyway, grab some of the sacred dirt, make a prayer and toss away the crutch you've been leaning on-- just as thousands of others have done. You can read about their healings on the walls of the church.

A favorite one hour away destination... soak on the hotsprings and take a walk about on trails. It's a world class hotspring spa... Yet this area was once occupied by about 5000 Pueblo people. You can visit the remains of their homes above the springs.
Bring your own food or head back to Santa Fe for dinner. The restaurant is generally overpriced and quite mediocre.

Just head down on Cerrillos Road and keep going straight. It's one of New Mexico's only national scenic byways. You can visit the Cerrillos first-- it was once nearly a ghost town but is now on the rebound, and then Madrid, which has several shops and the famous Mine Shaft Tavern....

An old upgraded hotel, classic Route 66 (which used to run through Santa Fe until the 30s), now has a really cool bar very popular with the Millennial. Often there's live music. It's about a mile away, just down Cerrillos road heading out of town on the left.
