About New Mexican Food

New Mexican cooking from the “Land of Enchantment” began with the Pueblo Indians. The Navajo, Isleta, Cochiti, and other ancient peoples of the American southwest developed dishes distinct from the foods of the indians of Mexico.

This Southwestern regional cuisine is unique. The stacked Blue “noche” corn enchiladas smothered in red chile, the hot green chile, the fragrant posole stew, are some of the basics that make the New Mexican difference.

If you know the Sandia mountains, pink at sunset, or have seen the snow geese return to the Bosque, you know the lore of Chile, red or green, bringing friends and family to the table.

Be assured that we bring our red and green chile from the rich farms of Hatch, New Mexico.

If you have never eaten New Mexican food, enjoy the discovery!
