    I recently attended an event here. Everyday I wake up and discover there are wonderful places and…read moreexperiences in my little neck of the woods that I had no idea existed. The Old San Isidro Church in Corrales, NM is one of those unique 'hidden' places. It really isn't hidden if you open your eyes and pay attention. The Old San Ysidro Church is a beautiful window into the history of rural New Mexico. Come visit. Attend one of the free (yes, FREE!) Speaker Series during 2025 at the Old Church managed by the Corrales Historical Society. Soak in the history just by being in this wonderful old church building.

    Located right across the street from Casa San Ysidro, the Old San Ysidro Church in Corrales is an…read more1868 building recognized on both the New Mexico Register of Cultural Properties and the National Register of Historic Places. It is open for "tours" - docents are available to point out features and answer questions (even when there are no current displays). And it is rentable for private events (suitable for a church setting). It is an absolutely beautiful setting for a wedding and can seat 150. Throughout the year there are art shows and monthly speakers - all free to attend. There is also a small "gift shop": the docents run a table with books, cards, and items baring San Ysidro and the scene of his miracle - an angel ploughing his farm land for him.

    Corrales has a culture all its own! There is a friendly vibe that is almost palpable. The mom and…read morepop stores are full of quality unique items for great prices that you can't find anywhere else. It's hard to think of it as a Mecca for shopping but I love finding one-of-a-kind goodies and this is the right area to do it in! The restaurants also are a must! Chains are nowhere to be found! You'll find locally owned, quality fare with fresh ingredients made with the heart and the soul. There are several farms in Corrales that sell apples, chile, and other fruit and veggies. Anything you want fresh can be found fresh and you better believe a lot of the restaurants utilize those fresh ingredients as well! If you love local events and culture, there is always something going on in town, whether it is a parade or a farmers' market. There is also an old church that is now a museum. Also be sure to visit all the award winning wineries!

The $5700 taxes I pay fon my property does not cover police protection and actually the chracter assasignation they do is very damaging. If you are a senior they might get the court to require you get a mental health evaluation and get admitted to a psych unit and drugged to fully discredit you when they tell the judge that you imagined your coins were stole and the police officer who took the report in front of the empty safe is fired and does not sign the report. Or they might file a phoney case in court and not serve you and get a arrest warrnt when you do not show up for arraignment. Then wait two years to arrest you as if you had been tried and found guilty and not shown up for your arrest. They did that to me and refused to let me pay $100 bail that I had with me and kept me in MVD for four days when I was 78 years old. It is a power trip. But when the Police Chief has never been to an academy and does not get annual inservcie I guess he is oblivious to the laws that pertiain to Constituional Rights. It is a darn power trip when they protect the thieves who rob you and tell your neighbors they have a thick file on you. It is so much worse than this. There were some vibs I felt when looking for my property 28 years ago that something was off. When I had over $40K gold and silver coins stolen from my safe and saw thieves leave over our shared fence and the investigation closed the next day you gotta know something in wrong. The same people refuse to write a report when you car engine under 49K miles, a Saab 9-5 is replaced with a much older one and the paibt is blisterd on hood, roof and trunk and burglar wires pulled out from the dash. So much more that I will testify in a court of law, if you can find one in New Mexico. They play a mean games that organized crime are experienced at. I have been told about others suffering similiar treatment, so if you wanna talk you can find my number on the internet.

The changes they are making at 1629 make it a must stop for dinner! A new menu provides some tasty options like the black truffle and wild mushroom risotto to go along with their signature pizzas. Quin was an exceptional host as he welcomed us and would check on us during our meal, while our server Trinity was outstanding! We will be back!

    I had high hopes for brunch at Casa Rondeña Winery, but unfortunately this was a disappointing…read moreexperience overall. We had a reservation for 11:30am and arrived on time, but ended up waiting outside for about 10 minutes with no staff in sight. We called multiple times for assistance before anyone came out. To make matters worse, the friend who made the reservation was never informed that brunch is held in the private club and not the e restaurant, which caused unnecessary confusion right from the start. Once a waiter finally found us, we were taken to the private club where we were told they only had three brunch menu items available that day. We ordered immediately, along with waters and mimosas. Keep in mind, there were only two tables total--our group of three and another group of seven--so it wasn't busy. Despite that, service was extremely slow. It took 20 minutes just to get our mimosas, and our waters were forgotten and didn't come out until another 10 minutes later. Our food took about 40 minutes, which felt excessive given how few people were there. Even more frustrating, my friends' meals came out about 10 minutes before mine. There's really no reason meals at the same table shouldn't be served together. The food itself was just okay. The only standout was the French toast, which was actually really good--and honestly the only reason this review isn't one star. I also ordered coffee and was told they don't carry creamer, which is surprising for a place offering brunch. Our waitress rarely checked on us throughout the meal, which added to the overall lack of service. Between the confusion, long wait times, and lack of attention, this experience didn't meet expectations. I won't be returning.
