Don’t let the metal bars fool you. That’s the gate to the outdoor patio—open in summer, tented and heated in winter. We started with the creamy potato-cheese soup, spicy with green chiles, then moved to a hearty burger with Swiss cheese and portobellos. We also like the queso taco, a heaping portion of beef, bell peppers, and cheese stuffed in a wheat tortilla. The sides here further amp up the meal: try the Twisted Taters (their homemade chips) or the Texas Toothpicks (deep-fried strips of onion and jalapeño). The Ancho Rancho Chocolate Pie comes piping hot. Bar.
