I am totally bummed that this is where everyone says is the best food in town...really? They have no flavoring in the meats at all. like not even salt and pepper. I realize new mx food is simple and doesnt use lots if spices- they use green and red pep to flavor....but what if you also use some cumin and salt, and garlic..or anything! It does have the prettiest grounds of any place in town.

We had such a great time there that we go back every week or so. The food is great, the atmosphere is wonderful and the patios are absolutly beautiful!

Wonderful restaurant! I love the decor of this place. The food is great, the happy hour fabulous! We're from Florida and when we visit New Mexico, this is always one of our stops.
