First visit: Jun 2023
Continuing on with our latest trip to Santa Fe... It was time for dinner and we needed a break from New Mexican styled food. Breakfast was at the New York Deli, and we were very hungry by dinner time. How about a steak? Now that's something we never do when traveling, but a wholesome piece of meat and a side of potatoes sounds damn good. But we're in Santa Fe, probably they're all $100-per-person kind of places that we don't particularly enjoy that much. Nope. Right across the street from our hotel is The Ranch House, and the prices look reasonable. Let's try it!
Finally a regular restaurant with parking spaces (it's not like Santa Fe has an amazing public transportation system either lol). The building is in the Santa Fe adobe style, and is very large. And popular. Even though we got there around 5, it was fairly crowded. Not too many restaurants can claim that at the moment. Filled with locals too. Even though they tout BBQ as their primary cuisine, the menu is eclectic. They have a nice set of local New Mexico taps, so we started there. Then we each had a salad. I got a half order of the Caesar, which was more than plenty - and delicious too! All for 5 bucks. In Santa Fe? We each ordered a 6 ounce steak and I added a skewer of BBQ shrimp. And for a side? Can you believe cheese enchiladas with Christmas. So much for me avoiding that. But to get enchiladas with steak and shrimp is just too cool. Mrs. RJG stuck with the potato staying true to course. The steak was cooked perfectly and was tender and tasty. The shrimp was superb. Even the red and green chili sauces were excellent. All for $23. In 2023. No way. Mrs. RJG loved her meal as well.
The Ranch House is the best deal in town and all the locals know it. Go here if looking for a diet diversion.
