At the height of Santa Fe's tourist season, swarms of fatigued and hungry shoppers wait as long as 45 minutes to sample one of The Shed's famous blue corn tortilla dishes---burritos, tacos and enchiladas (try the chicken version). Also notable is the green chile soup, and the burger topped with a slab of green chile that's sandwiched between a hefty bun and served with chips and marinated garbanzo salad. On heated days, the cold red raspberry soup rejuvenates. The Shed, founded in 1953, is located inside a meandering 1692 hacienda with doorways and walls that are dressed in colorful folk art. The dishes are based on the traditional cooking of the Pueblo and Hispanic peoples. Waist-watchers will appreciate the low-fat Mexican food offerings. If you decide on low fat, then expend your cholesterol count credits on one of the desserts---go for the mocha cake or cheesecake.
