Any New Mexican cuisine lovers here? I love to visit our neighbor state for a different take on fusion Mex/US food. I visited Santa Fe last year and loved the food. There is a pea that was served with almost every meal it seems, but I can’t recall the name of it.
Anyway, to my knowledge there is only one New Mexican restaurant in town and I went for lunch. Santa Fe Flats has been on my list for a long while, it’s at 249 and Louetta in the Tomball area and I finally made it.
I was pleasantly surprised the food was quite good and I’ll return. The first question in NM is often, “red, green or Christmas?” so my intention was to get some red chile sauce stacked enchiladas. But I ordered the chopped green chile and chicken stuffed rolled sour cream enchiladas that came with rice and posole which I loved and ate first. I had convinced myself I didn’t like posole but this rich red chile sauce stewed pork dish with tiny hominy was delicious.
The chips came with a red salsa with big pieces of sweet onion and cilantro and a cilantro creamy dipping sauce that was thin, thinner than you find say at Chuy’s.
Tex Mex also available, sand box and margaritas on a large front patio for frazzled parents.
