"The year-round Santa Fe Farmers’ Market is a crown jewel of the city. Along with being a community gathering spot where all the produce on sale is grown in northern New Mexico, the market has superb blue corn pupusas at the La Mesa Farms stand. The masa is sort of nutty and a little sweet, while the inside of these smoky discs are packed with beans and cheese. They’re grilled right in front of you and then covered in an avalanche of crisp curtido, green chile, and sour cream. Take your order over to the picnic tables inside the market or outside where there are plenty of benches. Yes, you’ll have to plan accordingly since the market is only open until 1pm on Tuesdays and Saturdays. But a crisp morning spent securing these pupusas and picking up some sunchokes or Chimayo chile powder is an essential, romantic Santa Fe experience." - nina katz
