Seafood diet

We see food and we eat it.  Eating once again.  This time at another top rated restaurant named The Shed.  It was named this due to the fact that Governor Bradford Prince bought this place in 1897 and it was just a shed.  He added on and made it into his family home.  It was sold in the mid 1900’s to the current owners family....Now operating under a third generation.

The Shed is world renowned for its red chile enchiladas and other blue corn specialties, as well as tempting desserts and, of course, margaritas! A dining tradition in Santa Fe since its beginning when Polly and Thornton Carswell opened it on Burro Alley. The Shed structure had formerly been used by wood gatherers to protect their burros while the "Lenadores" quenched their thirst in the cantina around the corner. 

After several years of wildly increasing demand, Polly & Thornton moved the restaurant to its current location, Prince Patio, in 1960. The tradition continues with their son and his wife (Courtney & Linnea) and now their children (Kristen, Josh, Sarah, & Kenji). The Shed's chile comes directly from the farm and is continuously ground on the premises to guarantee freshness.

Prince Patio, an adobe hacienda, dates back to 1692, when the king of Spain gave this property to Captain Diego Arias de Quiros in recognition of his services in the reconquest. In 1879, this patio acquired its present name when Governor Bradford Prince bought these eighteen rooms built around three patios and established his family here, where they stayed until 1940.

Come experience the warm hospitality of northern New Mexico and unique cuisine which mixes Pueblo, Spanish and Mexican influences.
