Canyon Road


Stepping into Canyon Road on 76th and 1st is a treat. On a blistery winter evening, you come in from the wind to a warm décor of wooden bars and ceilings with wrought iron chandeliers and antler decorations that make you feel like you’re in Santa Fe. It’s an instantly comforting place that invites you to sit by the bar up front for a frozen margarita, despite the cold outside.
The pomegranate margarita was delicious, sweet (but not too sweet) and simple, and fresh. The food was light for Mexican, and inventive – the spinach, goat cheese, mixed pepper and mushroom enchilada was a perfect and unboring vegetarian dish, while the goat cheese and poblano chile quesadilla looked equally delicious. Whether with friends or a date, the fun, but slightly sophisticated spot should make for a great evening (but warning: the third margarita is definitely a bad idea).
