It's my favorite New Mexican (or Mexican) restaurant and, living on the east coast, I don't get there enough. It's just off Indian School Rd, and a few blocks west of University Ave, close to the intersection of University and I-40. I'm trying to live vicariously through the culinary enjoyment of others who pass through my old home town. Mmmmmmm. Ok, back to photography, my apologies.
