Unique New Mexican + Flatbreads + Salads + Sangwiches

MATANZA is a distinctly New Mexican celebration; a get-together with friends, family and neighbors; a cookout with recipes passed down through the generations; the butchering and below-ground roasting of a pig or lamb along with a drink in hand. NEW MEXICO is a melting pot of spanglish-speaking people who don’t take life too seriously while having a sense of humor about our isolated place in the world. We do, however, claim a little respect for the things we love, like our cultures, our art, our cuisine and even our Lobos.

One Hundred Local Craft Beers + Wines + Drinks

FEATURING a grand selection of excellent New Mexico made craft beers and wines paired with locally inspired dishes using fresh and local ingredients. MATANZA New Mexico Beer Kitchen embraces the tradition of eating, drinking and friendly bantering with an outlet to stimulate the senses with a taste of the finer things in life New Mexico has to offer. So whether you are from around these parts or visiting from a distant land, kick back, relax and enjoy MATANZA.
