L
a Ristra is a family owned and operated New Mexican Kitchen that honors
traditions and cuisines of New Mexico. Our recipes have been in our family
for generations and we are excited to share them with you. Every year we
go back to the Land of Enchantment to purchase the finest green chili,
and again in late fall for the fiery reds. With diligence and experience we roast
the chili to perfection and use it as our main ingredient to enhance our cuisine.
In any dish you will be able to taste some influence from old Spain and the evident flavors of New Mexico. Also, we provide several tasty non-spicy options
that will please the pallets of everyone. New Mexico tends to have some of the
spiciest chile in the world, so you can count on every bite of salsa to have a little
kick and a burst of flavor. We offer red and green salsa, and when it is paired
with our warm fresh tortilla chips the taste is unbeatable. Armed with domestic
and international beers, margaritas, and over 100 different types of tequilas, our
cantina is sure to have just the drink to compliment any meal. Ask our staff to
recommend a tequila or margarita flight and sample some of our many flavors.
Red chile symbol indicates this dish is spicy.
