You can never go wrong ordering a Red Chile Breakfast burrito at the famous Tia Sophia’s on San Francisco Street. It a family favorite at our house. It’s all in the Chile. Red chile is made into a sauce and sometimes with small slices of meat. In northern NM, although it’s made into a sauce, it’s never called a chile sauce. It ’s just called chile! Chile con carne, chile con huevos, chile con frijoles…you get the picture. You might also order a burrito with green or the ultimate christmas. Get it, red and green together. At Tia’s it’s the red that makes their burrito the best. The breakfast burrito can be ordered with the choice of bacon, sausage or ham, with potatoes in flour tortilla. Top it with red chile and Cheese and add the egg for $7.95. You’ll be good until supper time. You’ll need the energy while we check out some outstanding properties in the area.

Double Lota Burger with double chili and cheese
When it comes to the original New Mexican Green chile cheeseburger, there’s only one that holds the honor; a double meat, double green chile, double cheese Lota Burger. The first Blake’s Lota Burger was built in 1952 in Albuquerque. Blake’s are only in New Mexico and dot the state from Farmington to Las Cruces and from Gallup to Tucumcari. Do you know how many we have in Santa Fe? For our visitors, make sure you order the double green chile imported from Hatch NM, located north of Las Cruces. I have two favorites, the Lota Burger on North Guadalupe and the Riverside Lota Burger in Espanola. A must stop on the way back from Taos. Let’s go and see some houses!
