So I get stuck in Alberquerque for a weekend. The friend who's booty call got me stuck takes me to brunch on sunday before the 6 hour drive back to Tucson. OH MAN did it make the whole waste of a weekend worth it. Great tasting piles of food. and a pleasant burn that made me smile and my friend wince.
They have grown in the 13 years since my visit and I'm sad to say that the heat has been calmed. But I still love the fajita buffet and even with all the mex, tex-mex, new mex you find around here they can make my top 5 list.

Funny story. I was in a bar when a guy came in and started yelling about how much Gardunos sucked. It seems the out-of-towner went to the bar and ordered a margarita with their best tequilla. Well as it turns out, their best tequilla is a 50 year old small batch, 100% blue agave, hand pressed, bottled in blown glass, signed and numbered Tequilla (note the capitol T). He had a $75 dollar margarita and didn't realize what he had done. he he he.
