of the mountain where it is majestically backdropped by the Jicarita Peak which governs the skies like a sovereign queen perched on her throne keeping a vigiliant watch over her people. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">Mora sits on the &#8220;twilight side of the hill&#8221; or more precisely, the back-side of the Jicarita. \u00a0From that vantage point the Jicarita&#8217;s unique &#8220;little basket&#8221; shape isn&#8217;t discernible, but Mora is hardly short-changed when it comes to beauty. \u00a0Like\u00a0Pe\u00f1asco, it is blessed with\u00a0gurgling streams teeming with native German Brown and Cut Throat trout, sprawling green meadows and alfalfa fields which sustain large herds of livestock and hills that come to life with the sounds of wildlife. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;

font-family: Verdana;\">When we saw photos of Mora adorning the walls at Sabroso&#8217;s restaurant, memories of meals at Hatcha&#8217;s flooded my mind. \u00a0It turns out Sabroso&#8217;s, which opened its doors in February, 2009, is owned by Geno and George Martinez of the Mora family which owned Hatcha&#8217;s for time\u00a0immemorial. \u00a0Sabroso&#8217;s is the story of two small-town boys sharing their version of the flavors of Northern New Mexico with the big city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">The Sabroso&#8217;s menu is a bit more sophisticated than that of many restaurants and family homes in northern New Mexico, but that really is no surprise. \u00a0Hatcha&#8217;s menu was also fairly sophisticated for a rural enclave and included a nice beer and wine list. \u00a0Sabroso&#8217;s has a tequila bar that will be the envy of many a restaurant. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3323\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3323\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3323 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 430px;

font-family: Verdana;\">Sabroso&#8217;s menu includes many traditional New Mexico favorites along with the unique touches for which the Martinez brothers are known. \u00a0If you love avocado, an appetizer sure to catch your attention is the <em>grilled avocado<\/em>, an avocado stuffed with pork and homemade pico de gallo topped with shredded cheese, lettuce and tomato served on a bed of fresh blue and yellow corn tortilla strips. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">Unlike guacamole in which avocados are mashed and usually served either room-temperature or cold, these avocados are actually grilled. \u00a0If anything, grilling avocados brings out even more of their inherent butter-like creaminess. \u00a0Tender tendrils of \u00a0flavorful shredded pork are the star of this appetizer. \u00a0The pork is moist and delicious, a perfect vehicle for the pico de gallo which is made with green onions and chopped tomatoes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">It&#8217;s unfortunate that pork isn&#8217;t available on <em>Sabroso&#8217;s enchiladas<\/em>, two layered blue corn tortillas with your choice of chicken or beef smothered with chile and topped with sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese, lettuce and tomato. \u00a0It&#8217;s not as though the beef is bad. \u00a0In fact, it&#8217;s Angus beef&#8230;but it is beef and beef is everywhere and beef is beef no matter what its pedigree might be and no matter how well seasoned. \u00a0The shredded pork is several orders of magnitude better. \u00a0The other recommendation I would have for the Martinez brothers is to add more piquancy to the red chile. \u00a0Liven it up the way people in Northern New Mexico like it.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3324\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3324\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3324 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 430px;

you can have those anywhere (albeit maybe not as good). \u00a0Opt instead for one of the unique choices. \u00a0The fried cabbage, for example, is excellent. \u00a0Unlike Irish cabbage which tends to have a room-clearing odor, the Martinez version has a sweet aroma and an equally sweet flavor. <\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">Entrees are also served with a basket of warm sopaipillas which my friend Ruben and his wife consider the best they&#8217;ve ever had. \u00a0 The sopaipillas are pillowy and puffy like most sopaipillas, but they&#8217;re also thicker so when you open them up, steam wafts upward in greater, more delicious quantities. \u00a0With &#8220;real&#8221; honey, they would be even better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">A nice dessert option is <em>Sabroso&#8217;s crisp<\/em>, a bowl of vanilla ice cream topped with your favorite fruit topping and bite-sized sopaipillas, whipped cream and cinnamon sugar. \u00a0Available fruit toppings include apple, cherry, blueberry, peach, strawberry and chocolate. \u00a0I&#8217;ve got my fingers crossed that two Mora staples&#8211;chokecherries and raspberries&#8211;will be added at some point. \u00a0Nowhere in New Mexico are these berries grown better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">When you get to the part of the menu describing Sabroso&#8217;s family style dining, you might get a bit of sticker shock at seeing price ranges from the $50s to the $100s, but when you consider that a small family-style platter serves 4-6 and a large platter serves 7-10, it&#8217;s a bargain. \u00a0The family style menu includes Truchas trout, Salmon Sapello, Sea Bass, Carnitas, Chacon Chicken and much more. \u00a0 Family-style platters are also available in portions (and prices) for one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;
