| - The Blue Adobe serves excellent Santa Fe and New Mexican cuisine.
Sorry, there's no Tex-Mex, or piled high nachos or sizzling fajitas here. New Mexican food focuses on Hatch green chiles and what they call a Christmas Tree sauce, that is half red and green.
In New Mexico they put the green chile in and on almost everything, from bagels to burgers*. You can even get dried red New Mexico chile pepper pod as Christmas ornaments in Santa Fe!
The Blue Adobe was founded by Chef Jose Leyva. It was his ability to deliver spice while maintaining incredible flavor that makes Blue Adobe different. As they advertise: "Our Fire Wood Grille uses Pecan Wood and our Chilies are Hatch."
One of the hallmark of Blue Adobe is their Fire-roasted Salsa and tri-color chips. These are so popular, you can order a 27 oz jar to take some home. On our most recent trip, we started off with this, along with an order of Guacamole ($5.95).
One of us had their shredded beef Chimichanga ($14.95). Very flavorful and not overly spicy. We also tried their High Desert Pasta ($13.95), which had a delicious EVOO garlic and Asiago sauce, served on a Tortilla (photo).
For dessert, we had a New Mexican favorite of sopapillas with honey. It's a very special puff dessert for only $1.50, and is not on the menu.
Our bill, including three drinks came to a fair $66.73 including taxes, but before tip. Everything was delicious and exquisite. And, yes we're a fan of the Blue Adobe!
Enjoy!
