Santo
Mexican
New Mexico cooking is the rare regional cuisine that Boulder almost never sees, and chef Hosea Rosenberg, a Taos native, fills that gap with rustic Southwestern fare across all three meals. Grab-and-go breakfast burritos anchor the mornings, counter service runs at lunch, and full table service with margaritas takes over at dinner. Blue-corn enchiladas and green chile stew built on oven-roasted Hatch chiles are the reasons regulars come back.
