Visit the Atomic Grill in Santa Fe
This is one fun restaurant, just a block south of the plaza on Water Street (103 E.) adjacent to Pasqual's and The Hemp store. It's comfortable, offers patio as well as inside dining and most items on their menu come in under $10. It's pretty much American food with local New Mexican fare thrown in. Be sure to check out their mosaic tiled wood oven inside. Very colorful and a nice backdrop to local paintings adorning the walls for sale.
If that isn't enough, it's one of the only late night restaurants in Santa Fe – and they do serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.
You can get some basic egg dishes for breakfast, but a real favorite is the raspberry French toast served with apricot butter and maple syrup.
The rest of the day they offer dishes such as green-chile stew, fish tacos, frito pies, great burgers, wood-fired pizza, fantastic black bean quesadilla and more.
To accompany all that they offer wine by the glass and about 100 different beers, and of course appetizers. The staff is great as well. Extra note: they offer free wi-fi.
And if you're hanging out at your hotel room and don't want to go out, they deliver to the downtown area from 11 am to midnight. The restaurant itself stays open even later. I've heard until 3 a.m. though haven't personally tried a visit at that hour.
Did I mention it's right across the street from city parking? Very convenient.
Give it a try on your next Santa Fe visit.
