That's good. I'm not certain there are such places here anyway.

I liked the green chile at Garcia's Kitchen, but it can be inconsistent.

Restaurant green chile is rarely as good as homemade. The worst red or
green I've had here was at 505 Southwest. The second worst red was at
the cafe at Duran Central Pharmacy, in Old Town. Both places are popular
with tourists though.

Some of the local caffs in Barelas (Second and Fourth Streets SW, near
the city centre) are pretty good and very local; families have been
going there for years. There is also supposedly a good restaurant in the
Hispanic Cultural Center down there, but we haven't eaten there yet.
