Santa Fe Food & Travel Guide

Santa Fe Food & Travel Guide

Description: A comprehensive food and travel guide to Santa Fe, New Mexico, highlighting local cuisine, attractions, and accommodation. Santa Fe is famous for its fresh Southwestern cuisine. They put green chiles on everything, and we loved them every time. Green chiles are hearty and mild, and make the perfect vegetarian/vegan filling for burritos and quesadillas. If you love red and green sauce equally like I do, be sure to order your enchiladas “Christmas” style so you get to try both. You’ll also want to try an agave margarita, which is made with agave wine instead of the usual tequila.
