don't miss the new butcher shop and bakery!. in my initial review, i raved about the bad-ass blt. chef josh just opened a butcher shop and bakery several doors down. i was able to purchase the ground bacon used there. been there now three times and have sampled many of their sausages and all are to die for (my favorite so far is the pork chorizo). the 2" thick pork chops are amazing. had them last week, cooked on the grill after a night in brine. nowhere in santa fe can you get this quality of meat, not even close at whole foods. bakery items i tried were equally good; cinnamon rolls and scones.

amazing sandwiches and more. my wife and i ate there today for lunch after reading a review in the new mexican. how did we miss this place? the food is excellent. after reading the review, we decided to spit the el cubano and the blt. i've never had a blt like this before, the bacon was kind of like a crispy patty with huge bacon flavor. very unique a must try. but even better was the cuban! i'm not a big pickle fan but on this sandwich, it's a must have. it shows the creatively of the chef to build a sandwich with ingredients that make a food you're not in love with a must have ingredient. the bread, which they make there was to die for. potatoes as a side on one, onion rings for the other: don't know which is better so try them both. the last piece of food on the plate was an onion ring and it was as crispy as when the order first arrived. if you love onion rings, you gotta try these. the homemade ice tea (apricot) was really lovely and while $3.50 seems high, you get refills and these guys don't skimp on the quality. service was excellent. servers use ipad mini's to take your order which is kind of cool. the menu has a lot of items i can't wait to try. this could end up being a new favorite.
update. went again on friday june 28th. had out of town guests and tried dinner for 2 (awful, see review), decided these guys needed to see what and where locals eat (anywhere south of st. michaels :-), took them to dr. field goods because they were still open past 9pm. had another wonderful meal. special that night was soft shell crab sandwich and we split two along with the incredible blt, salmon naan 'pizza' and on top of that, a burger. pretty good burger (i'm super picky) but not over the top amazing like the blt or cuban. i did like that it was med rare inside, almost charred outside. if you are in the mood for a burger, go for it but there's far more interesting and unique options here. we tried the potatoes with green chili and garlic, which was delicious and again, one of those unique offerings you'll find at this gem. my out of town guests were in love with this place.
