    I always try a new restaurant when I'm in Albuquerque. This is the only one I have regretted in 17 years of visiting the fair city.

    The food at the Lomas location was downright aweful! I ordered a combination for lunch. The salsa was some horrid, sweet BBQ sauce tasting concoction that didn't resemble anything I've ever known as salsa. They sell it in bottles, so I took a look at the ingredients on the label. What an amatuerish blend. I mean salsa does NOT contain "gravy mix", "beef base", "chicken base" and about half of the other ingredients they used. No wonder it was so nasty.

    Then came the food itself. The taco was filled with some greasy mush that I didn't even recognize as the beef that I ordered. No lettuce, cheese or anything else to help hide the nasty flavor.

    The enchilada was a surprise in itself. The tortilla it was made from was hard, tough and leathery. The sauce it was topped with, was some sticky, bland goo that was downright unpleasant to eat.

    There was also a chile relleno. I do love a good chile relleno. This one rated as the worst by far, that I've ever had. The egg coating was so overcooked that it was a greasy, browned, hard and leathery mess. The chile itself was so leathery that it was hard to cut. The sauce was no better than the one on the enchilada.

    The beans and rice were no better. Basically, what I ended up with was a plate of various colored sticky substances covering up various leather, rope, and rock-like textures.

    All in all, it was by far the worst New Mexican or Mexican food that I've ever eaten. I will not eat there ever again.
