Cafe Pasqual’s This tiny restaurant is a “must-do” for its colorful decor as well as its “firmly Southwestern” menu: enchiladas, chile rellenos, and huevos rancheros made using mostly organic local ingredients. 121 Don Gaspar Ave., (505) 983-9340
Epazote “Mellow music” sets the tone for chef Fernando Olea’s renowned mole sauces, including the mole rosa—made with beets, pine nuts, almonds, white chocolate, and chipotle chiles—that tops his grilled halibut. 416 Agua Fria St., (505) 988-5991
