Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

went out for "dinner and a movie" last night, Valentine's Day. came to the red ench because 1. it's always good, 2.the price is easy 3. it's not as busy as it deserves to be. so, had a great dinner, we shared chicken enchiladas, red and green, with rice beans and a giant sopailla, and a chicken tamale wrapped in a banana leaf . and some of that cabbage in the jar that is meant to go with the pupusas. mmm, all of it quite delicious, no wait at all, the waitress friendly and helpful. not in the most romantic of strips, right across from the JiffyLube, but really really good! if you haven't been, it's time to try it- if you've been before, go again!!

Wonderful food. Soppapillas are huge and flakey. Very good service. Made sure we stopped by again on our way back to Phoenix.

Authentic, fresh, flavorful, inexpensive! Found this place via yelp, while driving back from Taos to ABQ. Everything we ate was fresh and tasty. Some of the best papusas I've eaten. and of course the delicious but calorie filled sopapillas! Still worth it. If I lived in the area, this would be on my list of regular spots I'd eat at!

We ate at the Red Enchilada for the first time. It was great. Homemade and very reasonable prices. I had the chicken enchiladas and it included posole, fried beans, rice and hot sopapillas. My wife had the blue corn enchiladas with beef. Very tasty. Red and green sauces were spicy but not overly hot. Friendly staff. Food was served quickly and hot. We plan on returning for lunch. Just what Mexican food should be like. Not a fancy restaurant but looks can be deceiving.

My boyfriend and I come here regularly because it is an authentic hole in the wall. We like to get the tipico plate( refried black beans, fried plantains, scrambled eggs and a healthy portion of delicious crema) and several different pupusas. It's always a feast and it usually costs less than $20 for two people. When we diverge from our usual, the tamale which is served Salvadoran style in a banana leaf. To die for!

I'd been meaning to visit this restaurant for the longest time, and I just wish we tried it a long time ago.. It's simply the best casual restaurant in town. I ordered a tri-enchilada platter (~$8), and it came with a red enchilada with beef, a yellow enchilada with chicken, a blue enchilada with cheese, as well as some posole, Spanish rice, beans, sour cream, and delicious sopapilla. It was a huge meal, but I almost inhaled everything as it was so delicious. The other cool thing is that they serve breakfast all day (and breakfast items are priced reasonably too).

Bro J found Red Enchilada while looking for a new place to try. The Salvadoran influence was interesting to me since our Tres Banderas closed in the St Louis area. We liked the Salvadoran style tamales and the food in general. Bro J and I ordered a ton of food and split it. There were pupusas; one stuffed with calabacitas and cheese and one revueltas style. In this case it is pork with some beans. These had a nice texture. They are kind of like two handmade tortillas with filling in between, then sealed around the edges and fried. They had good flavors alone but are great with the curtido (sort of a slaw/cabbage relish) and a bottle of a thin salsa to squirt on top. The tipico platter of Salvadoran favorites included simple scrambled eggs, black beans, Salvadoran style sour cream and delicious fried plantains and seriously heavy homemade tortillas to eat it all with. We also ordered two Salvadoran tamales. These are large, wrapped in banana leaves and steamed. The masa is light and almost fluffy. We had one filled with chicken and one with pork. Both had some potato. These are very good and I ate mine with the excellent bright red chile. There is a lot of masa, but it is good. J and I also liked the posole, which was a little different than typical. The corn kernels are more broken up than usual making it thicker. It is served plain, but you get red and green chile to jazz it up. Ms T had a ground beef taco that was well seasoned and one of chicken that was actually very good for a change. The chicken was stewed and shredded so it was moist and was also seasoned. TT's chiles rellenos were served with very good green chile. We had a very enjoyable meal and liked the Salvadoran dishes as a change of pace. I would go back for the pupusas, tamales and posole.

Pretty decent south american food at this hole in the wall restaurant. Fast and friendly service. Decent prices. My enchilada only cost $7.50. Jojo got the steak and shrimp, and said it was excellent. It totally reminds me of some of the great restaurants in the San Francisco Mission District. I didn't even ding them a star for not having free wifi. But they should consider getting it, just saying.

Decent food and service- the best bargain in Santa Fe.

I arrived for lunch around 11:30 AM and found there was plenty of space in the parking lot and the restaurant was not crowded. A friend had told me that the portions were small, so I ordered the combination plate AND a chicharron pupusa. It was a mistake. My friend had exaggerated. The combination plate was very large, with a taco, tamale and enchilada, all of which were excellent. The plate also had refried beans, rice and a llittle posole and I tried a little of each, but was not impressed. The entrees were the star of this plate. My chicharron pupusa, however, was heavenly. It was light and extremely tasty. The curtido (cabbage salad) was served in a very large container with tongs to serve yourself and a bottle of sauce on the side. The curtido was very good and the sauce was very special. I'd say whether you are going for Salvadorean or New Mexican, the Red Enchilada is affordable and inviting, with excellent food.

We were touring New Mexico from Chicago and discovered this gem. Chicago is a great city with tremendous ethnic food and plenty of superior Mexican restaurants. The Red Enchilada is the best we've ever had. The tamale plate was Pleasantly different than what we were used to With a generous filling of meat and cheese. The tostada platter was also very generous with the meat filling. The combination platter was equally excellent. All entries come with a generous portion of beans and rice And sopapilla was included as a dessert.

HOLY AMAZINGNESS. I'm a huge fan of authentic joints that, if they can't have both good food and good atmosphere, they go for the food. The place is nice and clean. The food? Out-of-this-world delicious, authentic, scrumptious, I could keep going on with adjectives. We asked our life-long Santa Fe friend to take us to his favorite cheap, yet GOOD, mexican restaurant. He took us here, and we absolutely loved it. I got the combination plate, christmas-style, and it was more than enough of everything delicious. If there was twice the amount I still would have eaten it; though I might have had to been rolled out of the restaurant. Friends got the papusa and the stuffed sopaipillos, which they love. The sopaipillos with honey is a nice accompaniment. You can't beat the prices too!!! I'd come here every day if I wasn't 1,800 miles away.

This is a cool little Salvadorean-Mexican-New Mexican restaurant. "hole in the wall" is close to accurate. I have been to El Salvador, so I know a little about pupusas and other Salvadorean dishes.. (A pupusa is a Salvadorean culinary invention consisting of a very thick hand-made corn tortilla filled with cheese , beans, veggies, and/or pork and covered with a spicy cabbage, beet, and onion mixture called curtido) I find the pupusas here to be better than others I have tried in Santa Fe and Albuquerque, and I like the other Salvadorean style offerings such as the very tasty plate of eggs, black beans, and plantains with sour cream which they serve ( a good breakfast option); and the sweet cornbread/tamal like things (forget what they are called, but they are a good breakfast option or a good anytime of day dessert) The curtido (cabbage, beet, onion, carrot mixture) which they serve with the pupusas is pretty good. Unfortunately they only have a few salvadorean items, I wish they had more. Another plus is they are open fairly long hours for Santa Fe, and the prices are low. The staff are quite friendly.. Santa Fe has a lot of people from El Salvador, so I don't know why the owners don't choose to advertise themselves as a Salvadorean restaurant or at least put a flag on the sign or something as the owners are from El Salvador. The place looks like just another New Mexican place from the exterior and the name, but it really has much much more to offer. Be sure to try the wonderful fruit shakes they make (I believe they have papaya, avocado, and some other flavors)... Anyways, this is a good place to try Salvadorean food if you are with a group, because the less adventurous can stick with the numerous New Mexican or Mexican dishes on the menu..

This guy I work with who claims to be one of the twelve who will usher in heaven on earth in 2031 owed me about ten bucks and said he'd like to take me to lunch or dinner to pay me back. He suggested Red Enchilada and who am I to turn him down and just take the money, thus potentially thwarting a possible gold star in 2031? What a quaint little gem this place is. It's an El Salvadorean hole in the wall and we were the only two blancos in the joint. I got the chicken enchiladas with green chile and he got the taco plate and a papusa. Then he started to sing a little jingle about it, something like 'Oh papusa...Oh papusa' in a charming soprano. He moved to Prescott, AZ the next day. Now that I think about it, I think he was passing the torch on to me. Am I replacing him? Am I number thirteen? Or do I just adopt this little secret as my own?
