I love local joints and even better when they are family run and even more better when it’s a 3rd generation family run joint. In Santa Fe New Mexico that’s Casa Chimayo. New Mexico is known for amazing Mexican food and its all about the locally grown green chiles so on a recent trip to Santa Fe this was the first place we hit. They are known for their Blue Corn Enchiladas. I got the chicken. Amazing!!! But when Tim Cordova (owner) came by our table to say hi, which I loved, and he said we must try the Chile en Nogada which is a green chile stuffed with meat, cheese and spices and topped with a white cream sauce. Outstanding! This place is a total dive with tons of character and great food. If there is room, eat on the back patio, Enjoy.
