Good Food

I am developing a list of great places to eat in New Mexico and neighboring states. I recommend them because I have eaten there.

  1. The Comet Restaurant in Santa Rosa. It is on old Highway 66 in the middle of town. It is the best New Mexico style food anywhere in the state and if you like HOT chile it is your place. Prices are reasonable as well. My favorite New Mexican restaurant.
  2. The La Fonda in Santa Fe. It is right off the Plaza and even though quite expensive the food is great and they have live entertainment on certain nights.
  3. Kixx on 66 in Tucumcari and on old Highway 66. A very clean place. The coffee is great and so are the breakfasts. I eat there often.
  4. Cafe Pasquale’s in Santa Fe. It used to be the old Mayflower Cafe. Just off the Plaza and they have really great tortilla soup.
  5. Le Bistro in Santa Fe. Just down from the State Capitol on Old Santa Fe Trail. Breakfast and lunch only. Their bread is out of this world.
  6. Garduno’s in Albuquerque. They have several locations around the city. Good Mexican food.
  7. The Big Texan in Amarillo, Texas. It is on the east side of Amarillo and on the north side of I-40.  Good food and if you can eat the 72 oz. steak and meal in one hour you get it free! I once saw a defensive tackle from OSU eat it in just over 30 minutes and then buy himself a Snickers and eat it on the way out.
