Editorial Review for Sadie's Cocinita – by Stephen Ausherman
In Short
On any night you'll find Jaguars parked next to pick-ups, maybe even a limousine. If finding a seat requires a wait, pass the time in the roomy cantina. Here, margaritas are considered among the best in town. The chile is hot, and red-chile marinated carne adovada is a house specialty. Another popular dish is the carne adovada enchilada dinner with large chunks of marinated pork wrapped up in a corn tortilla.

This is my first time in New Mexico so I checked out city search to find some good mexican food. This was my first stop. Overall, not recommended. The chips and salsa weren't too bad - fresh and spicy. I ordered the Sadie's Burrito. I was expecting grilled chicken, with some beans and rice, maybe a few bell peppers and some cheese. Errrrt! I was essentially a flour tortilla stuffed with shredded chicken - and that is all. Dry, flavorless shredded chicken. Utter craaap. Also, maybe it is just me, but I could not taste the difference between the Green Chile and the Red Chile. I'm supposed to right? Only thing redeeming about this restraurant is that the service was good. It seemed like I had 3 waiters asking me if I needed more water and stuff. Decent atmosphere however. Bathroom was kind of nasty.
Pros: great service
Cons: tasteless burritos

As a former 4 star restaurant manager, I believe I'm a good judge of service, food quality and value. I travel often and don't expect 4 star service or food quality for that matter at a restaurant such as this. However, I do expect to be greeted by my server before 20 minutes goes by. Then when the food is served it's practicly dropped on the table, cheese and red sauce is dripping off the edge of the plate and it looks like a 4yr old plated it. The marinated pork under all the cheese was quite good but that's about the best I can say for this restaurant. The sopapillas were not even that good! If you want great Southwest Mexican food try "Cafe Au Lait" in old town instead. It's better food, service & value by far.
