Cafe Pasqual's (Santa Fe, NM)

The one stop I was not going to miss on our trip to Santa Fe was Cafe Pasqual's. I saw their Huevos Barbacoa on a "Best Thing I Ever Ate" episode about eggs, and have been dreaming of it ever since.

Pasqual's frequently has a wait -- and our visit on a Monday was no different. But the Huevos Barbacoa lived up to the "Best Thing I Ever Ate" episode's touting. A pleasant amount of heat, balanced with rich and succulent meat, and I was done with the entire plate of deliciousness before my fellow diners finished half of their sandwiches.

I would be remiss if I did not mention these sandwiches. Pasqual's has a green chile cornbread, baked and sliced as sandwich bread, that changed my impression of what can be done with corn in bread form. Never before had I seen sandwich-style cornbread -- and it was good.

On my next trip to Santa Fe, I'll have to hit up Pasqual's on multiple occassions -- first to get the Huevos Barbacoa and second to get a sandwich.
