La Choza, the sister restaurant to The Shed (a bustling, touristy locale), is the locals' answer to good New Mexican eats off the beaten path of visitors and part-timers. On the south side of the Railyard, the restaurant serves just about every specialty with flair, from chiles rellenos to Frito pie. The green chile chicken enchiladas are head-spinningly good---arguably some of the best in the city. Served with pinto beans, posole, lettuce and tomatoes, the enchiladas alone, crowned with red or green chile (or both), are worth the visit. Order an on-tap Santa Fe Pale Ale or Dos Equis and take a stroll through Railyard Park to walk off your hearty meal.

Not what I had hoped by davidmad1 on 01/02/2010

Great decor and a friendly staff eager to please. My fiancee ordered a sangria which was decent, but what she really liked was the fish tacos. I ordered the chile rellenos and I must say once I got a plate with food that was hot food and flavors were spot on!! The salsa was pretty good. Nice and spicy, great texture, and not too much (if any) of the typical salsa mix-ins like cilantro, onions, garlic, etc. For an appetizer we ordered chips with salsa & queso. The chips didn't seem fresh. My plate arrived hot, but all the food on it was cold. When I told the waiter, he said "yeah that happens sometimes, because they rush it through the oven. I'll have them make it again". He was apologetic.
