For the most part, Santa Fe eateries specializing in New Mexican cuisine offer large portions and are more reasonably priced than many places in a city where dining prices can be high. One of the most inexpensive is Café Castro. They've been serving up local favorites since 1990. If you want to dine where the locals do, this family-run spot, located out on Cerrillos Road, should be on your restaurant list. Prices are really reasonable and portions are ample. You can get a big plate filled with an enchilada, stuffed sopapilla or burrito with beans, rice and posole for $8. The most expensive item on the menu is a steak, served with all the already mentioned sides as well as a cheese enchilada, for $10.99. All entrees come with sopapillas (fluffy fried dough pillow) that you can eat with your meal or save for dessert.

EXPERT TIPS BY:
Billie Frank
Santa Fe Local Expert
- Best Value: "Café Castro is a bit hard to find. This is one of those places where a GPS really comes in handy. From downtown, it's a bit after St. Michael's drive. Look for Pep Boys or Jackalope on your left. The restaurant will be on your right."
- Southwestern: "If you want a hyper-local dining experience and reasonable prices and like spicy food, Café Castro's is a great choice. A few generations of Santa Feans have grown up eating here. It's a family place."
- Recommended as Best Value Because: The food is authentic New Mexican made from old family recipes. The portions are ample and prices are reasonable for good value dining.
- Best for Southwestern Because: The food is authentic, tasty and for Santa Fe, reasonably priced.
