Hard to find bad food in New Mexico. I mean, you would really have to go out of your way. One time we visited the shrine at Chimayo and there was a little take-out stand next to the sanctuary parking lot. Talk about a religious experience. I had the best posole I’ve ever eaten in my life, I had to have a second bowl, and then ate a burito de chicarron to die for. Exquisite. I mean, I could have just lived in that parking lot.
It's certainly possible. On a number of occasions I've been stuck in Alamagordo for a few weeks at a time. What a dump.
A friend of mine is from Albuquerque and she says our Mexican food in NorCal is crap.
