New Mexican Cuisine

While in New Mexico, we had to try some local fare.  Genaro's came highly recommended and it was mainly mexican food.

I had tamales with red chile which was not too spicy.  I tried the green chile which was spicier, but still not as spicy as the salsa.

The best thing was the sopapillas that we ate with honey.  I can eat these all day!

The decor in the town reflected the culture as these huge vases dotted the road at intervals.

We saw this dye sample in one of the shop windows.

Navajo rugs are prevalent here but talking with a shop keeper revealed that the natives who weave are slowly dying and new weavers are not taking their place.

We also tried Ed's Cafe where he served mutton stew in various forms.

I had the fresh corn with squash mutton with the fry bread.

I liked the sopapillas better.

Last view of the scenery before heading back to Albuquerque and the hotel.

Our last meal of the trip was at the Japanese Kitchen.

Where we gorged on sushi.
