Tacos Y Mas in New Mexico
Shortly after our hike up the old volcano, we stopped for lunch in a small town. Sadly, many of the small towns we passed through were shells; old stores, old restaurants, old gas stations, all closed now. We saw this all across the United States, the center of the small towns dead or dying, and most of the remaining industry along the major state roads.
As we looked for something acceptable for lunch, we saw a Subway (‘think fresh!’) off in the distance and we can always settle for Subway, but just before we got to the Subway, we saw Tacos Y Mas:
You’re always taking your chances when you eat street food (this was not a restaurant, but an order-out trailer. The menu was fairly large for a small operation, and they had a steady stream of customers. We ordered the taco lunch special, drove down the road a few hundred yards and came to a rest stop with covered picnic tables, where we had a taco feast:
It was really delicious, but heartburn city later, LOL.
One of the funniest things in New Mexico and Texas were all the signs saying “do not pick up hitchhikers” near all the prisons. LLOOLLLL!

They have those signs in Washington too-you just didn’t live near the prisons.
LOL @ -the signs saying “do not pick up hitchhikers” near all the prisons-
The food looks good for a trailer/restaurant/pickup thing! We had a Mexican theme dinner few weeks back and I made chicken quesadillas 😉 http://ansam518.wordpress.com/2010/09/03/mexican-ghabga/
LOL, Momcat, no, I didn’t see any in Washington . . . it got me thinking, though, how vulnerable I would feel living near a prison. If there is no ride waiting, and no ride likely, it would seem to me that those living closest might get an unwelcome visit, and the best outcome would be just handing over the keys, and maybe some money.
Ansam, your quesadillas look so yummy I wanted to eat them off the screen, LOL! What a wonderful FEAST!
NjumNjum,…. me waaannts some 😀
