What you are seeing is a steak enchiladas dish underneath sweet corn on the right, black beans on the left, blue corn chips, guacamole, sautéed onions, sour cream and very spicy salsa. (the hotter the salsa the better in my opinion) This came out on a very hot plate hence the red plate underneath, but man it was good! I always wanted to try Mexican food in a different part of the country other than California and lets just say New Mexico has its own unique style that definitely deserves to be checked out.
Now where can you get this meal? In Taos, New Mexico about a couple hours North of Santa Fe. It is located in the northern central part of New Mexico, and is really a nice area to visit. We found this place to eat in an alleyway just off the main Taos Plaza and wouldnt you know it, it was called the Alley Cantina haha. We sat on the patio outside because we had a dog with us. They were very nice to her though, i guess they were dog lovers themselves! They even brought a dish of water out for her which was nice because it was such a warm day that day.
The city of Taos is just a cool place to eat at too. If you ever want to walk around alleyways with shops and cafes in every corner then this is the city for you to explore. Its full of history and yes tourist attractions are everywhere. I had a blast walking around and what was great about this food was the quality of it. You could tell they took their time making it unique and it sure was beautiful to look at! i almost felt bad for eating it! (well, almost)
So there you go! ill be updating a new local dish i had in a few days. I wont be going in order from state to state, i think it would be more fun if i switched it up. So until next time guys, take care!
