I'm aware of two here in New Mexico, the Pó Restaurant in Pojoaque, and I believe there is a new one in Albuquerque by the Native American Cultural Center. I've eaten at the Pó restaurant about 12 years ago, and it was not a great experience, but I hesitate to hold that against them since it was ages ago; it might have just been a bad night. The other one I haven't tried yet. My impression as a New Mexican is that the local cuisine has elements of native cuisine (tamales seem more native than enchiladas). But, I also have the impression, perhaps unfairly, that native cuisine was kind of bland. I think Bourdain did an episode where he went onto the big Navajo reservation and they roasted and fed him sheep; I recall they ate basically the entire animal, but I didn't see salt or a spice being put on it. I'm sure every native group is different but around here, there was sheep, corn, squash, beans and not a lot else. Even the chile we're famous for was imported (from California, hilariously).
