Best Huevos Rancheros

Albuquerque: No one was even close to the Frontier in the land of huevos rancheros. They're the perfect huevos, whether you have them covered in Frontier's homemade green chile sauce or smothered in their signature ranchero sauce, which is kept hot in huge self-serve steel cauldrons 24 hours a day.

Santa Fe: The City Different must have an awful lot of truly fine huevos. You presented us with a record-breaking 12-way tie in this category! So we went to our own staffers for the tie- breaker. CW gives the nod to The Shed (113 1/2 E. Palace Ave., 982-9030), thanks to their exceptional red chile, hand selected and blended by the owners every year down in Hatch. Your other faves: Cloud Cliff Bakery, Dave's Not Here, Guadalupe Cafe, Harry's Roadhouse, Horseman's Haven, La Fonda, Little Anita's, Santa Fe Baking Company, Tesuque Flea Market, Tomastia's and Tres Portillos.

As usual, the Frontier Restaurant took numerous honors here - running away with first place for best breakfast burrito and best huevos rancheros, and picking up second in best traditional American breakfast and best local comfort food.
