[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New Mexican here and I prefer New Mexican food to Mexican food. Yes, it's different. There's nowhere to find it around here, except possibly at my Alma Mater's reunion every year. [/quote]

Chuy’s (chain) had some New Mexican style stuff and it was decent but the one in Rockville closed.  [/quote]

Came here to say this. We drive to the Chuy’s in Springfield to get our fix. Green chili tastes like they make it in house even though it’s a chain (and it is actual green chili— most people out here don’t know what that is).

Right now they have an abbreviated menu because of Covid, which is too bad. No rellenos. But the steak burrito smothered in green chili is very good. They also have a chimichanga on the menu (call it a chuychanga). Not the best I ever had or anything but it’s so hard to find around here that I order it sometimes anyway.

You know what I really miss are Navajo Tacos. Fry bread in general but Navajo tacos especially. The American Indian museum has an “Indian Taco” that is actually tasty but they do it with a bison-based red chili. Tasty, but it’s not the same. There’s a place in my hometown in a strip mall that does them and they use canned green Chili’s and it’s still better than anything out here.

Now I’m homesick.[/quote]
