Fodor's Expert Review Casa de Benavidez

The fajitas at this welcoming local spot with a romantic garden patio are a favorite here, and are served-up in generous portions. The burger wrapped inside a sopaipilla is another specialty, as are the chimichangas packed with beef. As always with New Mexican cuisine, diners will be asked if they would like their dish with red or green chile (or Christmas); the sauces are both pork-based here, so vegetarians will want to skip them and ask for roasted green simply chopped instead. The charming restaurant occupies a late 19th-century Territorial-style adobe house. If there's a wait, enjoy a Negro Modelo (with lime, please) at the pleasant bar.
