The Sopaipilla Factory Restaurant in Pojoaque<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you’re expecting something akin to Willie Wonka’s Chocolate Factory (maybe Guillermo Goloso’s Sopaipilla Factory), you’ll be disappointed.\u00a0 But, if you’re expecting solid New Mexican cuisine served by an accommodating waitstaff, the Sopaipilla Factory should meet your needs and quell your hunger.\u00a0 The Sopaipilla Factory sits squarely in the town of Pojoaque, but somehow has a Santa Fe address even though the City Different is eighteen miles away.\u00a0 That’s not because Pojoaque is a census-designated place (CDP) in Santa Fe county.\u00a0 It’s because because Pojoaque relies on a Santa Fe post office and ZIP code routing. Still, having a Santa Fe address could be confusing for prospective diners.\u00a0 NOTE<\/strong>:\u00a0 Gabriel’s of Santa Fe<\/strong><\/a> is in a similar situation.\u00a0 It has a Santa Fe address even though it’s fifteen miles from the state capital.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Capacious Dining Room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Make no mistake about it.\u00a0 You’re not going to find the Sopaipilla Factory in Santa Fe unless you search for it on the internet.\u00a0 The restaurant is situated just behind the Roxanne Swentzell Tower Gallery<\/strong><\/a> (which dammit has a Santa Fe address, too).\u00a0 Roxanne Swentzell, by the way, is a Native American clay and bronze sculptor and contemporary pueblo artist.\u00a0 A visit to her gallery is a must visit!\u00a0 If you can’t visit her gallery, the Sopaipilla Factory has one example of her work.\u00a0 It’s among several sculptures of the “Big Head” series meant to show the disjointedness of the modern world–people and groups becoming divided by different viewpoints.<\/p>\n

The Sopaipilla Factory is a bit of a dichotomy (and not solely because of its physical and mailing addresses).\u00a0 Though it’s got a casual, homey, distinctly Northern New Mexican ambiance with New Mexican and Native American artwork and simple furnishings, you’ll also espy carved anthropomorphic bears (perhaps reflective of all the hungry bears wandering into towns and cities in record numbers across the Land of Enchantment because severe droughts have destroyed their natural food sources).\u00a0 You won’t find any real bears at the Sopaipilla Factory, but you will encounter hungry diners who have wandered into town (and not Santa Fe) for New Mexican food.<\/p>\n

Albondigas Soup<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Now, about the name Sopaipilla Factory.\u00a0 You would certainly expect that a restaurant bearing the name of a food invented in New Mexico (sopapillas originated more than 200 years ago in the region that is now Albuquerque, drawing deep historical roots from Spanish and Moorish culinary traditions) would have a sopaipilla-centric menu.\u00a0 That’s not the case.\u00a0 Aside from a stuffed sopaipilla entree and sopaipillas as a side, sopaipillas are surprisingly absent from the menu.\u00a0 Nor did the Sopaipilla Factory land a spot on Eater’s feature on “Where to Eat Sopaipillas in New Mexico<\/strong><\/a>.”<\/p>\n

The Sopaipilla Factory’s menu is very much like the menu at many a New Mexican restaurant in the Land of Enchantment…not that that’s a bad thing.\u00a0 It’s segmented into several sections: Appetizers, Soup and Salads, Sandwiches, Breakfast Served All Day, Specialties, Vegetarian Specialties, Traditional Plates, Sopaipilla Factory Meats (ribeyes, carne asada, fajitas and the like).\u00a0 If you’d like to sample a variety of New Mexican food, consider the “Big Combo” which includes a pork tamale, chile relleno and cheese enchilada with rice and whole beans and your choice of red (and) or green chile.\u00a0 The combo is garnished with lettuce and tomatoes.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Shredded Beef Enchiladas”Christmas-Style”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Instead of our usual salsa and chips (which my chile-averse bride can’t enjoy), our appetizer selection was albondigas soup.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 Albondigas aren’t all that common on New Mexican menus.\u00a0 Maybe they should be. Originally a Spanish (and historically Moorish) concept that evolved into a traditional Mexican and regional New Mexican soup dish, albondigas are delicious when prepared right.\u00a0 The Sopaipilla Factory’s version of albondigas soup is excellent.\u00a0 It may have been the single best thing we had, in fact.\u00a0 In addition to eight well-seasoned, firm and delicious meatballs, the soup included corn, tomatoes and carrots.\u00a0 Crackers were provided but why desecrate a soup this good with crackers.\u00a0 The tomato-rich broth was superb–well seasoned with just a slight piquancy.\u00a0 The meatballs didn’t have much filler so they didn’t fall apart with the press of a fork.\u00a0 A dozen more would have made my day.<\/p>\n

Explaining to our delightful server that we were visiting the Sopaipilla Factory for the first time, I asked which entree she would recommend–the stuffed sopaipillas or the enchiladas<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 She raved that they’re both excellent, but the enchiladas come with beans and rice while the stuffed sopaipilla does not.\u00a0 Enchiladas are available with shredded chicken, ground beef, shredded beef, cheese or shrimp with your choice of red (and) or green chile and the usual tomato and lettuce garnish.\u00a0 My choices were shredded beef, red and green chile (Christmas) and a fried egg over easy on top.\u00a0 \u00a0Instead of rice, I got two portions of beans–both refried and whole.\u00a0 These enchiladas would have been outstanding had the chile been more piquant than the impotent monsoon season of 2026.\u00a0 The chile looked good just sitting atop the enchiladas, but had the bite of ketchup.\u00a0 What a pity considering the shredded beef was so well seasoned and everything else on the plate was quite good.\u00a0 Those beans, both refried and whole, were superb.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"\"
The Classic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My Kim, whose retort when I tell her a New Mexican restaurant might have anything she can eat, is “there’s always something.\u00a0 At the Sopaipilla Factory, that something was an all-day breakfast offering called The Classic<\/strong><\/em> (two eggs any style, hash brown potatoes, ham (which was either Canadian bacon or the most waifish ham we’ve ever seen) and your choice of salsa or chile all served with a flour tortilla.\u00a0 I would almost hazard to say the Sopaipilla Factory’s chile is so mild, maybe even my Kim could have eaten it but she would probably have proven me wrong.\u00a0 At any regard, she enjoyed her 2PM breakfast and we still have some of the mountain of hash browns left.<\/p>\n

With a name like Sopaipilla Factory, you would not only expect a sopaipilla-centric menu, but that the sopaipillas would be exemplars of\u00a0 fried dough fried into golden puffy pillows of deliciousness.\u00a0 Maybe the sopaipilla equivalent of Willie Wonka’s signature Wonka bar (with or without the golden ticket).\u00a0 The sopaipillas<\/strong><\/em> delivered to our table were more flat than puffy, more fitted sheet than pillow.\u00a0 Sure, we were able to find pockets in which we could deposit honey, but had to navigate around thin, crispy areas that didn’t lend themselves to serving as repositories of honey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

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

Maybe I’m getting too picky in my dotage (39 years old), but with a New Mexican restaurant bearing the name Sopaipilla Factory I expected both chile with a real bite and sopaipillas worthy of New Mexico state “official sopaipilla” distinction.\u00a0 We found neither, but I would go back for the albondigas soup.<\/p>\n
