Friends from upstate New York   wrote me about  the Mojave Grille in
Westfield, New Jersey.  It is on North avenue - I do not have the
address or phone number.

They had their first taste of Southwestern cuisine while in Arizona for
our national specialty in October and  after flying back to New York,
decided to take an extra week  to check out some antique sales in New
Jersey and Pennsylvania.  They came across this restaurant and  raved
about it.  They said  the food was pleasantly spicy but was assured the
heat could be turned up if they wished.  They loved the corn bread (blue
corn) made with peppers, cheese and onions.  One had a shredded pork
dish which was 'outstanding'  and the other had  a grilled chicken
breast with a salsa made of vegetables which was "absolutely
fantastic".  They said there were a lot of entrees available which were
all a bit pricy, but they felt the quality of the food was worth it.

They did not have room for dessert, but said the desserts did not sound
anything like the ones they had in Arizona.
I don't know how authentic the "southwest"  dishes are, but these are
people who really like good food and have educated palates.  Perhaps if
someone on the list is in the area they can check it out.
