Steve:
I was raised in Tucson, AZ and my parents live in NM, so I consider myself
a mexican food snob.  I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but in my seven
years in the DC area, I have found nothing equivalent to New Mexican
food.  Many people will direct you to Little Anitas or the Rio Grande
cafe, but in my humble opinion these are way overrated.  The Austin grill
is decent Tex-Mex.

The best Mex restaurant I've come across is "La Lomita" in southeast DC. 
Scary neighborhood, but decent food that has a homemade taste.  It doesn't
compare to the NM food you crave, but it a unique style that I like.  The
margaritas will put you on the floor.

There is another decent mex food place in downtown Bethesda, MD behind the
Holiday Inn.  I think its called "La Posada"...90% sure.  Last time I was
there I was pleasantly surprised.

Let me know if you find anything.  I'm always looking.
