This All-You-Can-Eat Mexican Feast In New Mexico Is Too Good To Miss

An all-you-can-eat Mexican buffet with a salad bar, plus a full menu if you’d rather order a plate. That combo alone gets my attention fast. The doors open at 7 in the morning on Fridays and Saturdays. So breakfast is on the table too, not just enchiladas at lunch.

This New Mexico Shawarma Spot Draws Loyal Fans With Bold Garlic Sauce And Generous Portions

A garlic sauce so loved that the menu sells it as an extra side? I like that kind of confidence. The menu even promises it brings the flavor and aroma game to the next level. That sauce rides along with flame-broiled chicken shawarma, saffron sela rice, warm pita, and housemade turnip and cucumber pickles. Then the hummus shows up in portions people keep calling amazing.
