Bobcat Bite Old Las Vegas Hwy. - 505.983.5319 Lunch & Dinner Wed.-Fri. Cuisine: American Recommended Dishes:green chile cheeseburger Review:The best damn green chile cheeseburgers in the state. Located off a relatively empty stretch of road the Bobcat Bite is the quintessential roadside hamburger joint. A dirt parking lot, a dining room about the width of a semi truck and waitresses who havent changed jobs in fifteen years create the ambience;a true working mans lunchstop. You know it's a real place when all the builders come to lunch in their carharts. If you embrace it for what it is the bite is seamless in all respects. All in all an excellent place.

The setting is cozy and cheerful with lovely yet unintrusive southwestern/indian decor. We both enjoyed some of the tasty varieties of margaritas served at reasonable prices. The most outstanding features of this restaurant are its chile sauces. The red chipotle or green chile sauces are incredible, even by Santa Fe standards. We had ours with enchiladas, both cheese and chicken, a ten ounce ribeye, and a vegetarian burrito. We couldn't stop talking about how happy our taste buds were. Frankly, we enjoyed this place more than the Michelin 4-star place we had been to earlier, at about 3x the price. In short, great drinks, great New Mexico food, great atmosphere, and great prices. What's not to like?
Cafe Oasis 526 Galisteo St. - 505.983.9599 Recommended Dishes: Oddly enough, the batter bread! Review:Fun Dining Experience and Great Food Enjoyed the funky atmosphere of all the rooms, pleasant people, and wonderful selection of dishes. Can't wait to go back. Review:Atmosphere I adored the waitstaff, the food and certainly the atmosphere. Definitely a patio person, it was a great place to eat my breakfast at 2pm and then stroll home at 4pm after reading The Nation and sipping an ice tea through the afternoon. The best part was, it didn't seem like I was the only one.

Review:Little Anita's three Albuquerque restaurants are supplemented with others in Santa Fe, Los Lunes, and a new one in Denver. Having sampled all but the latter...I can honestly say the food is always the same at each. Don't take that as a negative however, I mean that it's consistently good! This is not "Tex-Mex," not "Mexican," and definitely not "California-style"...it's New Mexican!...with delicious chile salsas, and mama's recipes NM-style dishes. Not too hot...not too mild...Goldilocks would have loved this place! Good service too! Nice, quiet atmosphere. Charbroiled burgers with fries for the kids. Review:Excellent Mexican This is a Mexican food restaurant. Nice for a change since everything in Santa Fe is "New Mexican" --- yes it's different! Excellent food, not high priced. Ambiance is family style. But nice for a date outing, too. It's the food, not the ambiance, that brings you here.
Tomasitas Cafe 436 Cerrillos Road - 505.988.3614 New Mexican style food. Green & Red Chili dishes. Average cost. Nice location. Cuisine: Southwestern Recommended Dishes:Chili Rellenos Pinon and Caramel Cheesecake Review:New Mexican Style food I always enjoy a visit to Tomasita's. Wonderful example of New Mexican style food. Short wait. Review:Too Touristy For Me I've been to Tomasita's several times for both lunch and dinner. For all the praise heaped on this establishment, I have to argue that there are plenty other New Mexican restaurants that are a head and shoulders above. The red chile is usually pretty pasty but does have a good bite to it. The corn tortillas often were a bit on the rubbery side and the sopaipillas were pretty thick and bready. I did enjoy the rellenos and they make a very smooth margarita. To those who adore Tomasitas...cheers! Pass me the pinon caramel cheesecake, but I'd personally rather eat my chile elsewhere.

Anasazi Restaurant 113 Washington Ave. Inn of the Anasazi - 505.988.3236,800.68 Bar,Live entertainment,Private rooms,Romantic,Kid Friendly<br>Parking: Available<br>Reservations: Recommended<br>Dress: Upscale casual Cuisine: Southwestern Recommended Dishes:Any of the game dishes and the tortilla soup. Review:Wine I love the food at the Anasazi, and wish that the wine service was up to par. I recently suggested having dinner with a group of wine people at the restaurant, as I had been very impressed my a dinner the previous year. This was during the weekend of the Santa Fe Chile and Wine Festival. Unfortunately, the wine service was weak. The whites we ordered arrived at the table unchilled, the red vintages presented after order did not match the vintages on the wine list, and no one was able to answer our questions concerning some of our wine choices. We were told that the wine list was scheduled for an update that had not yet been accomplished. I would think that the restaurant would want their list current for the festival? The food was outstanding, but the evening ended on a dubious note due to the mediocre wine service. Review:What's happened to an old favorite? On Friday, the 17th of January, 2003, my wife and I looked forward to dinner at the Anasazi on our first trip of the year to Santa Fe. We arrived a few minutes early, before the opening of the restaurant, and wandered about the area, especially checking the "post-your-message boards at the Santa Fe library nearby. Returning to the restaurant, we were finally seated ten minutes late (past posted opening time), which we took to be an ominous sign. It was. The ambiance was, as always, top notch. It would be hard to argue with the setting and decor. Unfortunately, the service lacked any distinction and the food was close to being actually bad. We were very disappointed -- the restaurant has been a favorite for year. Guess in the future we'll spend more time and money at other Santa Fe restaurants, such as the Pink Adobe and the relatively new Rio Chama Steakhouse.
