Sugar Nymph's Bistro
I stopped to shoot this on the way out to Santa Barbara Campground, and we had lunch here on the way out yesterday. Tasty gourmet food that you wouldn't expect to find in rural New Mexico, and a very bustling place when it's open (lunch and dinner only).

Co-owners Kai and Ki came from the Bay area and have an impressive resume of chef's experience in some of San Fransisco's best restaurants. El Puente Theater is also housed here.
