El Paisa
This locally popular restaurant has been in operation since 1974. The dining room is clean and comfortable, but the main dish here is the food, not the atmosphere. The owner, Mary Padilla, and her family members who work for her will greet you warmly, making you feel welcome. The food here is outstanding. True New Mexican dishes come to your table steaming, and leave you feeling full and happy. The chips and salsa are free with every meal, and the chips are made fresh every morning. The house favorites are Carne Adovada, Carnitas and Blue Corn Enchiladas.
Quite a bit of hype surrounds this this no-frills Mexican eatery, and regulars swear that the place is well worthy of it. Mary & Tito's have been around in the North Valley neighborhood since 1963, serving authentic New Mexican food to its residents. The food here is vibrant, varied and comes drizzled with a healthy dose of red or green chile, some of the most fabulous kind you will have this side of the world. The sopapillas, tamales, cheese tortillas and the carne adovada are inadvertent tongue-teasers and tummy-pleasers. To finish off, wolf down a slice of decadent Mexican Wedding Cake.
