Dining at the Backcast Cafe
Homestyle dishes with a local touch
Meals at Fisheads are built around fresh, local ingredients and the kind of homestyle comfort food anglers look forward to after a day on the water. Mornings begin with hot breakfast plates made to order. Evenings feature a rotating nightly special plus our lodge favorites, blending New Mexico flavors with generous, down-to-earth cooking. To round things out, we offer beer, wine, and spirits sourced from breweries, wineries, and distilleries across New Mexico.
