We all know that the Land of Enchantment holds some of the Southwest’s richest history, and this old time saloon in Cerrillos will truly take you back to the Wild Wild West. As you step through these swinging doors, you’ll be transported to the turn of the twentieth century where miners came to get a drink and cowboys came to rest. Now, this authentic saloon is a delicious restaurant with some of the best burgers and breakfast burritos in all of New Mexico.
Welcome to Black Bird Saloon, located right on our amazing Turquoise Trail in the quaint town of Cerrillos.

This traditional saloon is straight out of the Wild Wild West. Set within a building that was built in 1885, it doesn’t get any more authentic than this. Now, the restaurant has kept the charm of the old days to truly transport you to the past.

With old creaky wood floors, drafty windows, and a wood fire stove, you’ll be feeling like you’re in another era. Sit down and have a brew while you look at the menu and get ready to indulge in an amazing meal.

The burgers are definitely a go-to at the Saloon. Here you’ll find special creations like the El Chivato which is their creation of a green chile cheeseburger, or the Trail Blazer which is a delicious elk burger.

This former mining town might be just short of becoming a ghost town, but Cerrillos is still full of charm and amazing food.
