There is nothing like the N Mexico "Big Jim" Green Chile. The flavor of N Mexican Green or Red Chile sauces are truly out of this world. The combination of flavor & heat defines the word "perfect" for Mexican food lovers like me. Santa Fe Tequila Company rises to top my list of favorites. There is a vast expanse separating S. Fe Tequila Co. from 99% of the rest of the Mexican restaurants I've experienced in CO. I am grateful that I no longer have to make the road trip to Santa Fe or Buena Vista (Casa Del Sol, another favorite restaurant) to have an awesome N Mexican style dining experience. I am more impressed with what happens in the kitchen than the ambiance of the neighborhood or the bathroom. The meals and sauces are authentic & delicious. The Margaritas are great. I have enjoyed everything I've ordered so far. I am very blue collar when it comes to what I order. That said, I had no problem locating old favorites like Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas, Red & Green (Christmas Style) beef & Chicken Enchiladas, Carne Adovada, or Chile Rellenos. If this restaurant were open for breakfast I would order the enchiladas with a fresh egg on top. My wife and I love the fresh squash, corn & avocado side dish & the posole. I praise Santa Fe Tequila Company for daring to open an authentic N Mexico style restaurant & bring back the chiles & spices that define N Mexican food. There are hundreds of places to get a mediocre Mexican meal. Santa Fe Tequila Company is for the true connoisseur. Some may not yet appreciate Gourmet New Mexican Food. So they should give this restaurant a try. My only recommendation is to turn up the heat & chiles even more. I would also recommend a "shredded beef” option for the enchiladas. Since not everyone is a N Mexico Chile lover yet, perhaps they could offer Mild, Medium, and HOT options on the menu. Then folks could titrate up as they desire.. For me, the hotter & the more N Mexican Chiles the better. NewMexicanFoodLover
Pros: The restaurant captures the flavor & ambiance of N Mexico Santa Fe style dining
Cons: Can't think of any
