NileGuide Expert Says:
Tucked into a pretty courtyard on Palace Avenue, the Shed is a favorite for New Mexican cuisine and margaritas. Instead of sopapillas, they serve garlic french bread with their entrees—the best of which include green-chile chicken enchiladas and pollo adobo. Small, low-ceiled rooms and corner fireplaces (kivas) give the building great Santa Fe ambience.
Description:
This longtime locals' favorite is so popular that during lunch lines often form outside. Half a block east of the plaza, a luncheon institution since 1953, it occupies several rooms and the patio of a rambling hacienda that was built in 1692. Festive folk art adorns the doorways and walls. The food is delicious, some of the best in the state, and a compliment to traditional Hispanic and Pueblo cooking. The red chile cheese enchilada is renowned in Santa Fe. Tacos and burritos are good, too. The green-chile stew is a local favorite. The Shed's Joshua Carswell has added vegetarian and low-fat Mexican foods to the menu, as well as a variety of soups and salads and grilled chicken and steak. Don't leave without trying the mocha cake, possibly the best dessert you'll ever eat. In addition to wine and a number of beers, there's full bar service. The cantina style bar is a fun place to schmooze, and the brick patio is well shaded.

Great location in the middle of historic plaza area ... Fun atmosphere. Made us think Margarita ville meets new mexico. Family oriented... Whimsical decor... Excellent grilled chicken...
