The Pepper Pot serves Mexican and American food<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You might expect that a village renowned as the “chile capital of the world” could also boast of restaurants which showcase chile of such high quality that they would be veritable Meccas to which diners from throughout the state would pilgrimage.\u00a0 With a population of 1,648 (as of the 2010 census), Hatch has fewer than ten restaurants, many of which do indeed seem to draw nearly as many visitors from outside of Hatch as they do local residents and most of which do indeed showcase red and green chile.\u00a0 For New Mexican food, the one restaurant which most locals name as their very favorite is the Pepper Pot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Located in a converted residence, the Pepper Pot still resembles a family home, the give-away that it’s a business being prominent signage on a concrete plant stand.\u00a0 Homey exterior implements such as an old-fashioned push mower and a miniature John Deere tractor adorn the lawn.\u00a0 When you step into the restaurant and seat yourself in one of the dining room’s sixteen tables, you might notice that the ambiance is laden with Catholic symbols.\u00a0 Even the flowers painted above the arched doorways resemble the roses on Juan Diego’s tilma.\u00a0 A bulletin board recounts the great Hatch flood of 2006.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is<\/em> conspicuously absent is any mention or memorabilia of arguably the restaurant’s most famous visitor.\u00a0 In August, 2008, the Travel Channel’s indefatigable host Anthony Bourdain dined at the Pepper Pot during a filming of his No Reservations<\/em> show.\u00a0 His dining companions were Judd Nordyke (mayor of Hatch) and his lovely better half Marcia (coordinator of the Hatch Chile Festival) who schooled Bourdain on the fine points of red and green chile.\u00a0 Bourdain declared Pepper Pot’s enchiladas “the best red enchiladas of his life.”<\/span><\/p>\n

My friend and fellow gastronome Ruben Hendrickson was even more effusive about the red chile at the Pepper Pot, a chile he compared favorably to the sublime red chile at Mary & Tito’s<\/a> in Albuquerque (a chile sourced from the Delgado Farms in Hatch).\u00a0 He praised its lack of residual bitterness so prevalent in many red chiles and boasted of its smooth, earthy flavor.\u00a0 Ruben is a realist, however, and is quite familiar with Murphy’s Law which posits that the more you brag about a restaurant, the more it will disappoint when you take guests with you.\u00a0 Ruben and I visited on September 11, 2012, scant days after the Hatch Chile Festival.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we perused the menu, we were surprised at how quiet the restaurant was. Conversations were in low, hushed tones.\u00a0 Churches are more boisterous.\u00a0 We theorized that the food is so good, it deserves the diners’ rapt attention.\u00a0 The dining room was more than half full with a mix of locals and wide-eyed visitors.\u00a0 The telltale sign that local farmers were also dining at the Pepper Pot was the long-sleeved (on an 85-degree day) shirts and hats they wore.\u00a0 We surmised there were at least a few chile-heads in the premises, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pepper Pot is owned and operated by sisters Melva Aguirre and Rosaria Varela who prepare all dishes from scratch.\u00a0 Their restaurant is open only for breakfast and lunch.\u00a0 Their chile is obtained locally from the Lytle family, generations of which have farmed in the Hatch Valley since the late 1800s.\u00a0 Jim Lytle, the patriarch of the family, developed the fabled Big Jim chile pepper which is featured prominently on Pepper Pot’s cuisine.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Salsa and chips<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As you peruse the menu–a two-page compendium of New Mexican food with some American favorites (mostly burgers, salads and sandwiches) interspersed–a basket of chips<\/em> and bowl of salsa<\/em> will be delivered gratis.\u00a0 The salsa is chunky and fresh, a mix of tomatoes, onions and jalape\u00f1os with a hint of cilantro.\u00a0 It’s not an especially piquant salsa, but has a very nice flavor.\u00a0 The chips, definitely not uniform in size, appear to be housemade from corn tortilla shells.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Enchiladas are available with your choice of\u00a0 cheese or ground beef.\u00a0 The cheese enchiladas<\/em> are engorged with two cheeses and topped with even more cheese, resulting in a melting, molten mess of yellow and white deliciousness.\u00a0 Add an fried egg over easy and you’ll have an even more beauteous runny mess.\u00a0 Then there’s the red and green chile (you should try both).\u00a0 The green chile is superb!\u00a0 It’s the type of chile the Hatch Chamber of Commerce might select as an exemplar of what green chile should taste like.\u00a0 It has a discernible fruitiness and a nice roasted flavor with a piquancy level of about medium.\u00a0 Most plates are served with rice and beans, both of which are quite good.\u00a0 The rice separates easily and isn’t clumpy as bad rice tends to be.\u00a0 The beans are blanketed with a smattering of shredded cheese.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Enchiladas – Travel Network star Anthony Bourdain declared the Pepper Pot serves the best enchiladas ever!\u00a0 The chile rellenos are also quite good.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Also quite good is a chile relleno.\u00a0 It would have been outstanding had just a bit more attention to detail been paid in its preparation.\u00a0 For example, the skin wasn’t completely peeled, resulting in the annoying texture of chile skin in your mouth.\u00a0 The rellenos are moderately battered and are easy to cut into with a fork, a sign they’re well-made.\u00a0 The chile envelope isn’t especially piquant, but the cheesy interior is bubbling hot and thoroughly delicious.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Eager to relive red chile memories of a past meal at the Pepper Pot, my friend Ruben ordered a plate of red chile with pork which also came with rice, beans and a flour tortilla.\u00a0 One bite was all it took for him to discern this was not the same chile of his dreams.\u00a0 It wasn’t the dreaded demon spice cumin which befouled its purity.\u00a0 Instead, a surfeit of Mexican oregano was used which rendered astringent what was probably an outstanding chile.\u00a0 The pork was cut into small pieces and might have been even better without chile (that<\/em> chile, anyway).\u00a0 My experiences with the red chile on my enchilada plate were similar to Ruben’s.\u00a0 Thankfully I had green chile to fall back on.

On the strength of its green chile alone, the Pepper Pot Restaurant should be considered one of Southern New Mexico’s very best dining options.\u00a0 It’s a restaurant worthy of being the local’s favorite for New Mexican food in the world’s chile capital.
