La Choza

When I asked a young gallery owner on Canyon Road where residents go for great food at more reasonable prices, he suggested La Choza. Owned and run by the same team behind the beloved eatery The Shed, La Choza has an out-of-the-way location, and its decidedly no-frills dining room, which has a wood-burning fireplace, draws a more local crowd. The menu is the more-or-less-expected New Mexico rundown of tacos, enchiladas, burritos and green-chile stew, but everything is freshly prepared, and most dishes can be cooked for vegetarians.
