Jim --
While living in ABQ, my favorite New Mexican restaurant was Los Cuates, at
the corner of San Mateo and Lomas. You might also consider Sadie's, which
some people like better, but I think Los Cuates is better. You should try
to get a green chile cheeseburger at the 66 Diner on Central between UNM and
downtown or at the Owl Cafe. There's also a great hot dog place on the
south side of Central between downtown and Old Town called the Dog House.
Monte Vista Fire Station has good "high-falutin'" food -- it's on Central,
too -- I can't remember the name of the neighborhood, but it is just east of
UNM. My favorite meal in Santa Fe was always Frito Pie from the Woolworth's
cafeteria, but I heard that it has been closed. A close second would be
lunch at the Coyote Cantina -- it is on the roof of the building next to the
Coyote Cafe. Prices are reasonable, and they have a roast pork sandwich
with black bean spread and chipotles that is outstanding.
If you would like a few more suggestions or are looking for a specific type
of place, let me know and I will try to help you out.
Matt

Hi all, delurking for the collective wisdom. A couple of weeks from now
I will be at a conference at that new Hyatt half way between Sante Fe
and Albuquerque.
First, has anyone been to Rancho de Chimayo recently enough to offer an
opinion as to whether it is still worth the venture. I recall it being
wonderful in (gulp) the 70's but . . .
Second, is there a short list of "must experience places" I suspect my
ad hoc group will range from the mild to fire breathing and this is my
first trip through this millennium and as I am guiding my high school
sweetheart d/b/a long suffering spouse' first trip ever I need all the
help I can get. All suggestions from hole in the wall to 5 stars welcomed.
Jim ( good guy chilehead lawyer in Sacramento to distinguish from the
other Jim's on the list).
