The Buckhorn Saloon

Dining

Take the short drive to Pinos Altos to experience the Buckhorn Saloon (32 Main St., 575-538-9911). A drink at the Buckhorn is a step back to the 19th century and a big steak with your drink is even better.

Fine Mexican fare, steaks and seafood can be enjoyed at Jalisco’s Cafe (100 S. Bullard, 575-338-2060). Everything is delicious.
