Abiquiu Cafe

My older sister Erin is getting married in New Mexico this June! Yay!  I'm so excited because I've never even thought to go visit New Mexico, but will be now.  Everyone says it's a ton of fun and beautiful.  Can't wait!  But Erin has been talking about how great New Mexican food is and that we're all going to love it, etc.  I was at Krisers (the swanky dog store from which I buy Stella EVERYTHING) and noticed the Thai restaurant across the street had closed (thank god! Ashley and I had gone there and I think I had a mild case of food poisoning from there).  In it's place was this restaurant called Abiquiu Cafe.  I had no idea what type of food it was, but Biz and I were trying to decide where to eat one night and I had remembered it and found it on the internet (http://www.abiquiucafe.com/).  When I saw it was New Mexican I got incredibly excited because I wanted to try out a sopapilla (deliciousness Erin has been raving about!). 

We went that evening and had a wonderful experience.  We are definitely going back there.  Everything on the menu looked fantastic and it was hard narrowing down our choices.  For a starter, we ordered corn cakes.  AMAZING.  My mouth is watering just thinking about them.  For our entrees, I chose the chile rellenos (one of my mom's favorites) and Biz had the pulled pork.  Sopapillas came with our entrees.  They were incredible and tasty with a little bit of honey. 

 

Everything was delicious.  The service was great.  It wasn't that crowded in there - just a few tables seated so I hope it does well.  Try it out if you're in Chicago!  We want it to succeed!
