Best New Mexican food is best triangulated this way:
New Mexico
Southern New Mexico
Doña Ana County
Las Cruces
Missouri Avenue
Little hole in the wall called El Jacalito (The Small Adobe House) with the best gorditas on the planet. The place is a greasy spoon, heavy on the grease, limited number of spoons.
I absolutely survived on those as a latchkey kid living in the overtly Mid-Century Modern neighborhood.
Explains a helluva lot about me does it not? Ain't no Modern like Desert Modern.
