Aside from its stunning landscapes and natural wonders, New Mexico is known for something else — its New Mexican cuisine. We all have our favorite spots for local cuisine around the state but one regional restaurant in New Mexico you must try is The Original Cocina Azul.

If you're extra hungry, order a plate. You can either try a Quesadilla Plate, an Enchilada Plate, or a New Mexico Burrito Plate. Each plate comes with your choice of meat plus red or green chile (or both), and a choice of two sides.

Of course, you cannot come to any New Mexican restaurant without having the sopaipilla. Drizzled with honey, this is one of my favorite things to eat in the state.
