From the title of this thread I thought a New Mexican restaurant was coming but discovered it would be a new Mexican one. Having lived and traveled all over the US Southwest, the Yucatan, Baja California, both coasts and the interior of Mexico I have discovered about all "Mexican" food has in common is that usually chiles are used in the preparation of some of the dishes. The chiles and vegetables used vary considerably, depending upon location. Many ingredients are not obtainable outside a particular region.
BTW I have never, ever eaten a great Mexican meal outside an area in which the proper fresh ingredients are obtainable and the locals know how to prepare them.
Today I plan to enjoy a carne adovada burrito, refritos, a couple of sopaipillas with honey, and a chile relleno at a local restaurant called Los Cuates (the twins) since I am visiting in Albuquerque, NM. When in Rome..... and all that.
