Restaurant Details
Best Of 2012: Neighborhood Restaurant: Monument
I'm surprised that La Casa Fiesta didn't place in the Patio Dining category, as it offers an epic outdoor experience. Truly, it's gorgeous, allowing 100 extra seats in warm months, and even bringing long winter wait times down. That's right, La Casa Fiesta's fans are willing to brave the cold in order to reach a hot plate of New Mexican food, such as mesquite-smoked chipotle honey lime ribs with a wonderful side of calabacitas. LCF's recipes date back to a Hobbs, N.M., restaurant started by owner Shawn Morris' grandmother and father in 1957. Members of his family have been actively involved ever since, and Morris hopes his sons will take the chili-laced dynasty into many decades to follow. — Matthew Schniper
