Does The Best Green Chile Dish In New Mexico Come From Las Cruces?
According to a USA Today "reader's choice" survey it does...
A recent USA Today poll ranked the top 10 places in New Mexico to get the best green chili and El Patron Cafe, (1103 S. Solano), took the number 1 spot. According to the poll's website:
The Hatch green chile coming out of the kitchen at El Patron Cafe in Las Cruces is certainly spicy, but not overpowering. The brisket nachos are a house specialty, smothered in green. Diners also find green chile in the house made posole, atop chicken enchiladas and even for dessert in the form of a green chile pineapple upside-down cake.
I don't know about that dessert but, everything else sounds awesome! A couple of other local spots ... Chope's in La Mesa and Sparky's Burgers & BBQ in Hatch ... also made the list. You can read the complete top 10 list here.
