El Patio – Mexican
Bathed in a warm, welcoming glow, this vibrant eatery captures the soul of New Mexican comfort through the intoxicating aroma of slow-simmered carne adovada and roasted green chiles. Guests linger over overstuffed burritos and plates of stacked enchiladas, eventually finding sweet relief in airy, honey-drizzled sopapillas and cold glasses of beer under the open sky.
