Red or Green?

One of the first things you'll learn about eating out in this city is how to answer the question Ôred or green?'. What that means is which kind of chili based sauce you'd like on your food. Not only the color matters for flavor but also denotes how hot it is.

New Mexican cuisine is excellent and you'll quickly learn which restaurants serve milder or hotter sauce. Try Los Cuates for milder and Perea's if you like it hot.

At night, you can go Goth or Hip Hop sometimes in the same club. Check out Lotus as they do something different every night.
