Description:
For as long as I can remember, my family and many of my friends' families have scheduled trips into northern New Mexico to coincide with lunch or dinner at this fun restaurant. In an adobe home built by Hermenegildo Jaramillo in the 1880s, it's now run as a restaurant by his descendants. Unfortunately, over the years the restaurant has become so famous that tour buses now stop here. However, the food has suffered only a little. In the warmer months, request to dine on the terraced patio. During winter, you'll be seated in one of a number of cozy rooms with thick viga ceilings. The food is native New Mexican, prepared from generations-old Jaramillo family recipes. You can't go wrong with the enchiladas, served layered, northern New Mexico style, rather than rolled. For variety you might want to try the combinación picante (carne adovada, tamale, enchilada, beans, and posole). Each plate comes with a sopaipilla. With a little honey, who needs dessert? The full bar serves delicious margaritas.

Still great

Truly excellent food. Not greasy. The "red" is exceptionally good, though not so hot you can't taste it. The "green" is delicious. The trout was fantastic.
