History of Pecos

The Shed RoadyGoat

The Shed has been tucked in a courtyard off Palace Avenue in Santa Fe since 1953, serving red and green chile in an adobe building that dates to 1692. The Carswell family has run it for three generations. The blue corn enchiladas smothered in red chile with a fried egg on top is the move. When you can't decide between red and green, say 'Christmas' — you get both.
