Steaksmith at El Gancho

Frommer's Review

Surrounded by piñon and juniper about 15 minutes southeast of town on Old Pecos Trail, with a decor accented by raw wood, this steakhouse is a favorite for many Santa Fe locals. In fact, my mother and her best friend eat here regularly. They like the fairly traditional food and the festive atmosphere (there's often a crowd). I find the service quite uneven, especially for large parties. A creative appetizer menu of tapas ranges from ceviche to deep-fried avocado. My mother orders the grilled shrimp, and her friend orders the baby back ribs. Steak and Alaskan King crab are other friends' favorites. There is also a choice of salads and homemade desserts, plus a full bar and lounge (serving a tapas menu from 4pm) that even caters to cappuccino lovers.
