Horseman's Haven Cafe

10Best Says

Horseman's Haven is a local legend known for killer-hot green chile. Old timers will tell you they miss the original rustic café, opened in 1960, with its seven booths and community table in the middle. In 2003, they built a larger eatery when they weren't allowed expand the original. Their green chile, grown especially for them, is a cross between a Big Jim and Sandia. The Level 1 is edible if you can handle some heat. The Level 2 is only for those with asbestos palates. They won't smother your food in it no matter how nicely you ask. It's just too darned hot. Breakfast favorites include Carne Adovada, and breakfast burritos smothered in green chile. This is New Mexico home cooking like you'd get in your grandmother's kitchen. Generations of Santa Feans keep coming back.

EXPERT TIPS BY: Billie Frank
Santa Fe Local Expert

Breakfast: "The restaurant was named for the Santa Fe Downs, the local, now-defunct race track. When the café opened in the former customer waiting room in a gas station/garage, that part of town was still out in the boonies."

Best for Breakfast Because: Horseman's Haven is a local legend and no breakfast list would be complete without it.
