This green chile chicken is also served in the Tampico Chicken Sandwich without the enchiladas, and the taste is just as outstanding as on the regular dinner plate. The chicken is good enough to impress me but the green chile is the reason to order the sandwich. While green chile cheeseburgers are excellent in various restaurants throughout New Mexico and the Southwest, this chicken sandwich at Jaxon's is probably just as notable (and I do not know of another restaurant that serves a sandwich that is comparable).

The curly-Q fries are an excellent compliment to the chicken, and are one of my major temptations to go off a healthy diet.

Black Bean Burgers are served as a substitute for hamburgers, and are spicier than most (but taken by themselves the black bean patties is not the most outstanding ones I have tried). By special request, though, the patties can be served with green chile, cheese, and mushroom toppings to make it tampiqueña style (like the chicken sandwich). My preference is the chicken, but the veggie burger is also outstanding with this particular topping.

The Fajita Chicken Salad is also pretty good (better than most, except that the salad dressing is not very exciting).

The Tortilla Soup is renowned, but I did not find it to be outstanding.

Outside of a few standout items (I have not tried enough dishes to know what all of the best items are) the quality goes downhill, and I think Jaxon's is for the most part a pretty ordinary Southwestern style restaurant. By "quality" I mean mostly that many items are fried or do not have flavor combinations that make them outstanding.

Be forewarned that if you like appetizers, or even chips and salsa, they and the drinks are at exhorbitant prices that offset the relatively modest prices of the entrées.
