The Shed, 113 E Palace Ave, in a fun old adobe building near the plaza, make reservations (New Mexican food- great red chile)
La Choza, 905 Alarid St, owned by the same family as The Shed, it is preferred by most locals because it is away from the plaza, has fewer tourists, and is slightly less expensive (New Mexican)

Tia Sophia's, 210 W San Francisco St, right off the plaza, great "wet" breakfast burritos covered in chile sauce
