Restaurant Martín

A former contestant on the U.S. version of Iron Chef (the only chef from New Mexico to be invited on the show), chef Martín Rios headed the award-winning Geronimo as well as the Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi before venturing out on his own. The menu at Restaurant Martín is progressive American and features lots of regional flavors and interpretations that can be seen in the beef rib-eye enchilada with house-made red and green chiles, the Baja-style fish tacos with cabbage-grilled pineapple slaw, avocado-jalepeño salsa and jalapeño-orange vinaigrette and the Maple Leaf Farm duck breast with pearl barley, sharp cheddar, Tokyo turnips, blood oranges, butternut squash and Mayan chocolate. Dinner reservations are a must.
