Description

The basis for a great deal of her first menu was the flavorful sauces made from New Mexico grown green and red chiles. Green chiles were picked early in the season, and chopped to form the base ingredient for the milder green chile sauce. Those that weren't harvested green were allowed to ripen fully until red. They were then harvested and bound into a rista, allowed to dry in the hot New Mexico sun, and then later ground into a powder that became the main ingredient in the spicier red chile sauce. From day one Anita has always insisted that the chiles used in her recipes come exclusively from the mother land, and those of you who have enjoyed them before certainly know why.

Today Anita has five restaurants, with more opening soon, serving thousands of happy patrons everyday. Her menu has expanded over the years to include a greater variety of traditional New Mexican dishes as well as some popular American favorites.

All her locations serve breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week and most open as early as 5:00 a.m. We've always placed a lot of emphasis on our entire menu being available for dine-in or carryout.
