Tia Sophia's

Tia Sophia's is a downtown diner that has served the Plaza since 1975 and is widely credited with putting the term breakfast burrito on a commercial menu. The Santa Fe New Mexican covered its Food Network recognition among the country's morning meals. Order the original breakfast burrito smothered in red or green, made with the house chorizo, and expect a line on weekends.

Tia Sophia's, on San Francisco Street downtown, is the family restaurant where the breakfast burrito went onto the menu in 1975, credited to the current owner's father, and where a longtime waitress is credited with coining Christmas as shorthand for red and green chile together. Nick Maryol has run it since 2005, and the breakfast rush still turns out hash browns and piñon pancakes. Order a breakfast burrito.
