A casual place, not too many tourists, with killer margaritas, is Maria's on Cordova Road.

For a white tablecloth experience, a friend of mine recommended Geronimo's on Canyon Rd; I've never eaten there but it looks nice.

When you get tired of Southwestern food, try Kasasoba on Agua Fria, a Japanese noodle house for lunch on Monday to Friday with more traditional and more expensive choices for dinner. We love this place for lunch.

Also, don't forget that many of the museums are free on Friday evenings, including the Georgia O'Keeffe museum.
