Have you tried Hatch Burritos yet? I checked it out yesterday and was not disappointed. This steak and egg burrito Christmas style (red and green sauces) was absolutely delicious. The sauces were flavorful, the meat was tender and the beans were delicious too. It’s a sun filled space with friendly people, WiFi and free street parking. They had some delicious lunch items too also focused on NM fare like green chile stew. I’m looking forward to sampling more. They’re at 721 N Mangum St

Two of my favorite restaurants. Have you been to Little Bull or Tataco? DELICIOUS. I’m sure I’ll love Aaktun too, I’ve just not made it there yet. This will be fun to watch!

didn’t disappoint. The drinks were well balanced, the food was so good I forgot to take pictures before I’d scarfed it down and the friendly bartenders answered all my questions cause I’m THAT customer. If you’re in , check them out. Be sure to make a reservation though because it’s a popular spot.

The view of Rome from Trajan’s Market.

In Rome there are two ways in which artichokes are served: Roman style which is an artichoke stuffed with garlic and herbs then braised in olive oil and water or guidia (Roman Jewish style) MY FAVORITE! A whole artichoke is double fried in olive oil, generously salted and then it gets a finishing touch of lemon. Add a glass of a high acid white wine and it’s the perfect snack. This is not the perfect season to enjoy this but it’s still delicious and a taste I associate with Rome so no regrets. Head to and hit for your street food fix.
