Even in 1958 I knew that someday I would need a photo of Pink Adobe for my blog

As far as I know The Pink Adobe in downtown Santa Fe, New Mexico, was the first place I experienced New Mexican cuisine, and it started a lifelong quest to seek it out any chance I had. The Pink Adobe, according to its web site, has been “Serving New Mexican Cajun Since 1944.” They do have traditional New Mexican food such as Santa Fe Traditional Enchiladas for $25 at the current menu price, and there is a short list of other Mexican and New Mexican items. The Plato Mexicano is $2.25 on the 1958 menu and $38 in 2025. The whole menu has what seem to be ridiculous prices but I least I would have an opportunity to re-experience what I thought was an important event in my life.

1958 menu describes the food as “Cuisine Française”
