La Choza ("the shack"), specializing in northern New Mexican cuisine, is a great place for groups. The vibe is high energy, the ambiance is casual and portions plentiful. Off season, the restaurant says they can usually handle a group of up to 20 or 25 with little notice. A call, at least a half-hour in advance, might cut your wait. Plan to arrive before 6pm or after 8pm when it's slower. In high season, advance reservations are recommended. Want separate checks? Tell your server before you order. Food is reasonably priced and portions are ample. Enchiladas, made from blue corn and stacked the traditional New Mexican way, are their bestsellers. Stuffed sopapillas, crispy tacos and chile rellenos are also popular choices. All entrees come with sopapillas, little puffy dough pillows. Eat them with your meal or save them for dessert. Just add honey.

- Group Friendly: "La Choza prides itself on its margaritas. Their signature Sangre de Christo margaritas are made with blood orange liquor and blood orange puree. If you don't see one you like, build your own. If they have it in the kitchen, they'll put it in your drink."
- Southwestern: "Start your meal with a frosty margarita. If you don't like what's on offer, build your own. If they have it in the kitchen, they'll add it to your drink. Try the green chile clam chowder, offering a traditional New Mexican favorite coupled with a taste of New England."
- Best for Group Friendly Because: La Choza, a local favorite offering New Mexican food coupled with friendly service, does groups well.
