Red and Green
Posted October 3rd, 2007 by iamdan

Scenes from last night's dinner. If you ever get to Albuquerque, you must go to Sadie's. Of course, the perennial question is red or green (chile), to which last night I responded with both. In retrospect, the carne adovada pork rib had enough red chile in the meat to get that kick just right, so a bit more green sauce over the relleno might have worked. Not that I'm complaining.

Re: Red and Green
Green or Red? That's the question. I prefer both. I don't think I've ever had just one or the other. Sadie's is the best Mexican food in Albuquerque, but you can't forget some of the smaller out of the way places like Padilla's (if they are still open over on Girard). Then there is El Pinto (not small, but out of the way). Sometimes El Pinto is terrific (if Jim or John is in town) but sometimes you can get an off day. Garcia's on 4th--pretty good and how about the tamale place? Frankly, I don't think you can find bad Mexican food in Alb.
The fall is the best time to visit the west. There's no place quite as beautiful in its unique way. I sure miss it.
Re: Red and Green
The tamales from El Modello were incredible. That and everything else from that little hole in the wall. A great tip--especially since the balloon fiesta was going on--is to get take out mexican from El Modello--no long waits for poor service in over crowded restaurants, but amazing food.

Man, that looks good. I found a good Mexican restaurant here, but when I went back two weeks later to try the chicken and fried plantain dish the placed was gone.
Re: Red and Green
Not good. I hauled some green chilis back to NC in a checked suitcase, so if we ever have a green chili stew party I'll drop you a line.
Re: Red and Green
That would be cool. We found a good, inexpensive supplier of frozen green chili puree in New Mexico, but I don't have room to store 10 pound bags of it at the moment.
