My friend Scott Pacheco may never forgive me for dining at Little Anita\u2019s New Mexican Food in Old Town. Scott hates Little Anita\u2019s, but not because of its food, ambiance or service.\u00a0 He hates Little Anita’s for what he considers a traitorous act on the scale of Benedict Arnold and Judas Iscariot. To understand why Scott hates Little Anita\u2019s so much, it might help if you know that there are two things in life he\u2019s passionate about–the Denver Broncos and New Mexican green chile. If this isn\u2019t making sense yet, recall that on February 2, 2014, the Seattle Seahawks demolished the Broncos 43-8 in Super Bowl XLVIII. Not only was this the largest margin of victory for an underdog, it was tied for the third largest point differential (35) in Super Bowl history. Scott was (and still is) incensed at the “dirty” Seahawks, the “blind mice” referees and “biased” announcers.\u00a0 His beloved Broncos had no chance against such a stacked deck.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

So what did Little Anita’s have to do with the Broncos loss?\u00a0 Actually nothing, but in Scott’s mind Little Anita’s still committed an unforgivably (albeit unwitting) traitorous transgression.\u00a0 <\/span>As is\u00a0 Super Bowl tradition, dignitaries from competing cities engaged in a friendly wager, betting local foods and goods on their respective city\u2019s teams?\u00a0 Denver mayor Michael Hancock’s bet included green chile stew prepared by Denver restaurants, including Little Anita\u2019s. To Scott, Little Anita’s green chile stew was far too good a treasure for the #*&$! team from the #&*#! city that trounced his beloved Broncos. Moreover, it was a very uneven exchange because Seattle\u2019s mayor had wagered salmon which Scott claims doesn’t even go well with green chile. Scott’s hatred runs deep.\u00a0 How deep? In October, 2014, when a raging conflagration consumed the Little Anita\u2019s on the intersection of Menaul and University, he exclaimed \u201cthat\u2019s the best thing Little Anita\u2019s ever cooked!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

It’s possible, maybe likely, that the residents of Denver were just as upset as Scott at having to part with green chile stew.\u00a0 That’s because Coloradans have an affinity for chile surpassed only by denizens of the Land of Enchantment.\u00a0 Surely, they hated parting with some of the city’s best.\u00a0 In Denver, one of the most popular purveyors of piquant red and green is Little Anita’s, obviously not a restaurant Scott Pacheco will visit when he travels to the Mile High City for a Broncos game.\u00a0 Denver’s Westword<\/strong><\/a>, an alternative weekly publication, has accorded “best taste of New Mexico” and “best red chile” to this long-established New Mexico restaurant with four locations in the Denver area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before there was a Little Anita\u2019s, there as simply \u201cAnita\u2019s<\/a>,\u201d<\/strong> founded in Northern Virginia (just outside the Washington, D.C. area) by Albuquerque native Anita Tellez in 1974. After living on the outskirts of the capital city and not finding anything approximating a taste of home, Anita decided to take matters into her own hands, converting an old doughnut shop into a restaurant showcasing authentic New Mexican red and green chile. Anita introduced the bustling area to family recipes rooted in traditional New Mexican cuisine and it was love at first bite. In its first year of operation, Anita\u2019s generated $2 million. A second Anita\u2019s followed 18 months later. Today, there are eight Anita’s restaurants with more to come. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Trio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In 1976, Anita\u2019s eldest son Larry Gutierrez launched Albuquerque\u2019s first Little Anita\u2019s restaurant. Four decades later, it has grown to become one of the most popular and successful New Mexican restaurants in the metropolitan area with nine locations scattered throughout the city. According to the Little Anita\u2019s website, the nine locations are positioned so that you\u2019re never more than fifteen minutes away from satisfying your needs for great New Mexican cuisine. Another claim to fame is being the first in town to serve breakfast burritos back in the 1970s. Much as Scott loves breakfast burritos, he still can’t forgive Little Anita’s.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Little Anita’s restaurant in Old Town is considered the local chain\u2019s flagship restaurant\u2026for good reason. It\u2019s not only extremely popular with tourists, but locals seem to love it, too. During our visit we espied a large number of satisfied locals. Several of them shared the sun-shielding, dog-friendly patio with us and raved about their meals. Our waitress conceded that the red chile includes a bit of cumin, but pointed out that there are numerous alternatives sans cumin. Despite taking care of several tables both in the restaurant and on the patio, she was very attentive and capable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Steak Asada Combo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We hadn’t been seated long before a basket of chips and bowl of salsa were ferried to our table.\u00a0 The chips are on the light side, better made for dipping, not for scooping up Gil-sized portions.\u00a0 For my Kim that’s a good thing because her salsa-loving husband can’t finish off the salsa after five or six chips<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 The salsa<\/strong><\/em> lacks the piquant punch locals love (even tourists should be able to handle it without scalding their tongues) but it’s got a nice flavor.\u00a0 Alas, a larger portion size would be greatly appreciated.<\/span><\/p>\n

When New Mexicans talk about “threesomes,” it’s not always in a ribald manner.\u00a0 Among local aficionados of New Mexican food, our favorite threesome is usually salsa, chile con queso and guacamole.\u00a0 Little Anita’s version, called the Trio<\/strong><\/em>, substitutes a bean dip for the salsa.\u00a0 The chile con queso is thick, creamy and served warm, but the aforementioned chips made it difficult to scoop up much of it.\u00a0 We also have a bone to pick about the guacamole which is served atop shredded lettuce.\u00a0 After just a little guacamole, all that’s left is the lettuce.\u00a0 The bean dip, studded with green chile and shredded cheese, is flavorful but would benefit from a more potent chile.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Fajitas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Because of cumin’s presence on the red chile, both my Kim and I ordered from the “Hot From The Grill” section of the menu.\u00a0 We’re both happy we did.\u00a0 As little regard as I have for most steak, Little Anita’s steak asada combo<\/strong><\/em> really made me happy.\u00a0 This was an excellent cut of beef,\u00a0 ten ounces of grilled top sirloin prepared to order and sliced into five medallions.\u00a0 The grilled flavor impregnates every morsel of the tender steak on which you won’t find any excess fat or sinew, just flavor.\u00a0 What makes this a combo plate are two enchiladas served with your choice of red or green chile and two tostadas, one with guacamole and one with frijoles.\u00a0\u00a0 As with the salsa, the green chile is rather anemic.\u00a0 The frijoles tostada needed salsa to give it some personality.<\/span><\/p>\n

In keeping with her carnivorous ways, my Kim ordered the fajitas<\/strong><\/em> (your choice of half a pound of beef, chicken or shrimp served over sauteed bell peppers and onions on a sizzling hot skillet served with beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, salsa and three home-style flour tortillas).\u00a0 As with all great fajitas, the sizzling skillet wafts past everyone in the area until it arrives at your table.\u00a0 While the beef isn’t quite as delicious as the steak asada, it’s still tender and plenty good.\u00a0 Sweet white onions are sweated until they glisten with a translucent gleam.\u00a0 They pair very well with the beef while the sour cream and guacamole lend a bit of contrast.\u00a0 The flour tortillas are a nice vehicle for the fajitas. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Sopaipillas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Two sopaipillas<\/strong><\/em> were served with our plates, alas served with honey-flavored syrup, not the real stuff.\u00a0 It makes a difference though not even native New Mexicans can always tell the difference.\u00a0 Nor do these sopaipillas puff up in the tradition of all great “sofa pillows.”\u00a0 Though brought to our table with wisps of steam escaping when we cut into them, they were dietetically thin.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

You might consider my friend Scott’s antipathy toward Little Anita’s a bit short-sighted. After all he’s depriving himself of New Mexican food and you can never have enough of that. Another way to look at it is that his self-imposed abstinence just means there’s more Little Anita’s for the rest of us. <\/span><\/p>\n
