Try the chummy communal table, or go late morning or after 1:30 pm to (hopefully) avoid the crush.

Frommer's "The long lines, even at lunch, are proof enough that this local institution half a block from the plaza is something special." Full review
Lonely Planet "Superconvenient to the Plaza and with a fun ambience. The food, however, is seriously overrated, aiming straight for the perceived middle-of-the-road tourist palate. There's a nice patio." Full review
Gayot13.0
"The dishes are based on the traditional cooking of the Pueblo and Hispanic peoples and are covered with potent red chile." Full review
Afar Magazine "In a 1692 adobe hacienda with brightly colored walls and a pretty courtyard, the Shed is deservedly famous for its smoky chile, just-hefty-enough blue corn tortillas, and classic recipes. " Full review
Travel + Leisure "The 1692 adobe hacienda is divided into nine unique rooms filled with Rivera-style artwork and accents of red, blue, and yellow. Locals come to the Shed for the red chile" Full review
Travel + Leisure "Dine at The Shed for a timeless take on New Mexican cuisine in a bright, exciting atmosphere"
