The Shed
New Mexican Cuisine
Indoor/Outdoor. Since 1953, The Shed's award-winning red chile, creative New Mexican dishes, and cool margaritas make it a timeless classic. Come taste the tradition! For those unaccustomed to eating chile, ours is spicy! Holidays see "more."
Price Range: $7-$20. Start off with Chile verde con papas, Green chile chicken corn chowder, Gazpacho, Fresh mushroom soup, Cold red raspberry soup or try our House Guacamole, Salsa & Chips.
All of our traditional entrees are served with Blue Corn Tortillas. All of our chile is grown on farms in Hatch, NM exclusively for The Shed. We process chile daily in our own mill in order to capture the flavor and freshness of the chile. One of the favorties for generations of patrons is our #4 Red Chile Enchilada Plate topped with a fried egg. Our Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas reveal the smoky pungent flavor of green chile. For the very spicy palate try our Carne Adovada or Pollo Adobo plate.

Why We Love It
“If you only eat one meal in Santa Fe, make it here. Order the red chile enchiladas and a margarita.”
Insider Tip
Go for lunch, not dinner - the line is shorter and the courtyard is sunlit. If you're told it's a 30-minute wait, it's usually 15.
