Why we point you here

James Beard–charted New Mexican cooking worth the detour to this small northern village.

The James Beard Foundation pointed to this family restaurant as an America's Classic in 2016, and that recognition tells you what you need to know: authentic New Mexican cooking worth building a night around as you roam the high country north of Santa Fe.
