Going to Santa Fe, NM in a couple of weeks and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Looking for a couple of good lunch and dinner spots and one nice meal and any good bars.

I'll be flying into Albuquerque and driving up to Santa Fe so anything between there is good too. TIA.

I had a great dinner once at the Coyote Cafe, but that was a long time ago.

Look up Jambo Cafe. A very different, interesting, and delicious restaurant. It doesn't hurt that a few of the waitresses I saw there are smoking.

Pasquals


My only visit to Santa Fe included a lunch at Pasquals. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

Bars:
Matador is a cool dive bar
Dragon Room is just a nice regular bar
Cowgirl is kitschy but can be fun.
Second Street Brewery has some damn good beer. They have a location in The Railyard area near the plaza.....maybe a 10 minute walk.
Marble Brewery is on the Plaza upstairs. They have really good beer and a great balcony overlooking the plaza. But it's tough to get a seat out there.
Atomic Cafe is on the back side of the plaza and has a great beer selection.

There are plenty of upscale bars but I have never set foot in one.

I wasn't planning on that either, I much rather a dive than an upscale bar. I'm a man of simple needs, I like whiskey and beer.

Definitely hit Matador.....or is it El Matador....

Since I know your no hi-tone, Backroads Pizza is really good. Its about 3-4 miles away from the tourist area. LINK

The Shed is good. But they have a sister restaurant with many of the same dishes for less $$ called La Choza LINK

I love enchiladas with new mexican red and/or green sauce. The best I had in santa fe was at a restaurant attached to a mid level hotel called Pecos Trail Cafe. LINK

I will, just checked it out online, it looks like a Santa Fe version of Port Royal.

I was wanting some red and green sauce, even better that its attached to an motor inn, ups the dive factor.

I want to have a good steak while I'm there, trying to decide between Rio Chama and Bull Ring.

The Shed is pretty good. The red sauce was too hot (spicy) for my liking.

Take the Turquoise Trail from Albuquerque to Santa Fe. Great scenic drive.

definitely. we had a great meal here. below is a picture of my meal there: jerk chicken, fried plantains and rice w/ beans.

also, i'll second recommendations for the Second Street Brewery and Marble Brewery Tap Room. We drank both places, and enjoyed them quite a bit; both had solid beer. didn't eat at either, though. we also enjoyed tecolate cafe for lunch. and for a more upscale meal in the art district, we enjoyed The Compound.

The plantains with a light coat of cinnamon were outstanding. It was certainly a unique and delicious meal Glad to see someone else has heard of it and been!
