So we're at Carniceria in Carlsbad and the menu looks incredible
of course it's all in Spanish so my high school Spanish is kicking in.
They brought this salsa all green chilis which is amazing homemade tortillas they're
making the tortillas here that's a good thing. Look at that. Its pretty spicy actually
it was not graceful at all.
So the cool part about this place is Carniceria in English is butcher and butcher shop and so this is a market
so you can come in here and get your meats freshly made tortillas
but they've also got a restaurant so you can sit indoors and eat and go outside and eat this
is the exact kind of place that I was looking for when we were in New Mexico.
right there right here
oh my god
Thank you
I'm hungry
so this is the carne asada enchiladas we have some green and some red sauce in here it's uh it's almost too pretty to eat but i'm gonna do it anyway
all right here we go I don't even know where to really start
I just really want to get all this sauce going here oh my god
this is why we're in New Mexico this is what we came here for.
that's beautiful oh thank you oh my gosh yes no we're perfect thank you so much
oh I got the pastor oh my god look at this this is hot this is homemade hot and fresh
I don't even know where to go I'm gonna put a little of this here
people probably gonna yell at me "that's not how you eat that" that's how I eat it
the color is incredible
that's been marinated it's awesome and we're gonna do a little bit of this right on top
travel a long way for food like this
I'm kinda sad. Because I'm never gonna get pastor as good as that.
wow wow it's unreal totally unreal Carlsbad I might move to Carlsbad that's
that good. New Mexico is bringing it. And we're gonna get a fully loaded fight
all right i'm gonna get a fully loaded bite here
all the cheese all the meat get some rice get some beans get a little the red sauce the green. oh man
all right I'm jealous I gotta try it so I haven't had the enchilada yet enchilada
every item they put on the plate I think is homemade and
the tortillas are oh my god they're insane like I actually
I think I might sleep on one of the tortillas tonight it's so it's like soft
yes I'll just be smelling like delicious tortilla while I sleep and I'm gonna have a little more
oh apart this is a corn one yeah
we just finished up at Carniceria Butcher Shop
and boy um it's amazing yeah we're trying I did not want that meal to end it was so delicious
yeah we're trying to find the best food in New Mexico and
I I don't it's gonna be hard we're off to a great start yeah we're definitely off to a great start
we're continuing our food tour here in new mexico we're in albuquerque and we're
about to go eat at frontier restaurant is near the university of new mexico's campus
and they got a green chili cheeseburger and that's got one of our names written all over it
so we had a long day at white sands national park and we decided that we need to pick out
because we basically haven't eaten since breakfast so we finally got to albuquerque
i think we accomplished our goal
this whole feast costs 22. so we got this burrito green chili hatch on top of it
i think madeline really wants that well i'm going to be stealing some green chili hatchet burger
oh my god look at that this is their sweet roll and they just had them everywhere like on the
t-shirts and signs everywhere every every table had one so we got it big bite this hamburger
foreign melted cheese but i kind of like the shredded cheese this is the frontier burrito
it has green chili all over it green chili and cheese all over the top of it
i am starving so oh and there's beans and meat inside
gosh this is so messy there's potatoes here too there's a potato here too
we deserve this after our long day the sweet roll which i don't think is a cinnamon roll because
i don't know if there's any cinnamon in it so we're gonna find out oh no there's cinnamon i
didn't do i didn't do my research on this this was a last minute item the last minute of that
it's really sweet i think that's just butter dripping through it
cocina azul is one of the most reviewed restaurants here in albuquerque
they just embraced new mexican cuisine they have it written on the side of the restaurant
and madeleine and i haven't eaten today so we're probably going to order way too much food
there goes food we're in cosina azul and we just ordered our food madeleine got the
brisket chili rolligno she looks amazing i'm kind of jealous of what she's getting
and i got the enchiladas carne adubata enchiladas with red and green chili they

this dish so we're going to try these later we eat the real thing now these are the carne out of a
enchiladas i got the green chili and the red chili

steakhouse i saw on the menu that they have a green chili risotto so i'm pretty excited
so we just ordered a market steer steak house and their menu looks incredible and this patio
is so cool it's right downtown near everything they've got this great courtyard we ordered the
beef tartare which looks amazing i think they cut their own steak here and they also do something
called beef bacon so we're getting a salad we are getting beef bacon on it i've never had beef
bacon before and so i'm pretty excited to try it i got a strip steak madeline got a filet mignon
and we got some we got a flight of steak enhancement sauces coming so we're getting like
six or eight sauces to go with our steaks i mean it's like a dream come true one really cool thing
about this place is that it's chef owned and operated this right here is a green chili butter
the theme of this place is going to be beef because it's called the market steer steakhouse
and so these are beef fat crackers with a beef tartare
oh my goodness that wasn't the same there's a relish on top there
i'm talking about my mouth cornerstones oh my god that's so good all right i'm going in
i'm so delicious yeah the relish on top is just incredible oh my god
this is beef bacon
it tastes like someone injected steak flavor into bacon ron swanson
would really like this i'm quite confident of that
let's cut into the steak
so we have this sauceplate eight different type sauces
i don't think the steak needs it but these look so good let's go full dog just
i'm gonna melt the butter on my steak that's perfect right now yeah
let's try this green chili risotto
those green chilies in that risotto by the way madeline makes really good risotto
i'm sure this is better than anything i make but i'm gonna practice that's better than that you're
going to have to try makeup oh now i'm going to try yeah wow that's grip it's really good
oh my gosh that cuts so easily i honestly just want to try it
without anything on it look how beautiful that is it's perfect
the crust on here is amazing the
steak just melts in your mouth i think they said it's dry aged for 35 days
so that butter melted
anything oh you're happy wow this was an incredible meal from start to finish
been fantastic beautiful setting we're on this beautiful patio beautiful weather santa fe is
delivering and we've only been here for a few hours and we're just we love it here already
right now we are heading to dinner at the tune-up cafe it's a popular spot here in
santa fe and it mixes new mexican cuisine with el salvadorian food so that sounds pretty good to us
so we're at tuno cafe i ordered the el salvadorian combo and madeline ordered
the carne asada pizza it could be one of those situations where we order way too much food
but that's kind of what we do every time so looks like the place to do it so i'm going to dig in
the papoosa it's an el salvadorian dish it's got a flaky crust and flex steak in the middle
it's kind of like a potato pancake crust with braised flank flank steak in there i don't know
cheese so it kind of tastes like a mozzarella stick with braised flake steak really good
i've got some carne asada pizza with the mushrooms green chilies
this is a banana wrapped chicken tamale i've had a lot of tamales this summer i don't that's
just like a new thing i don't know why they've been really good so i'm excited for this one
that's really good look at that that's a good
we're in shiprock new mexico which is in the northwest part of the state
it's on the navajo nation reservation they've got
a traditional food here fry bread we couldn't leave new mexico without having a little fry
bread in this spot which is that's a burger is got a fried bread burger and a navajo taco so
we're gonna have a little lunch now this thing looks incredible so this is the fry bread burger
you see how huge the fry bread is
awesome
so fried bread is kind of a mix between a uh
tortilla and a pancake that's crunchy but it's a little doughy it's fried bread
it's fried bread yeah so we got a green chili on the burger as well that's really good
all right madeline's first bite of a crybab fry bread burger
i like the fry bread it's a it's a whole new meat delivery system
that's pretty neat tastes good it's new to you
to me all right so i'm digging into the
navajo taco it's really more like a salad i i wouldn't even attempt to pick it up
there's a lot going on in here beans and cheese oh tastes good
wow all right you know i'm always up for a challenge
here's a fried bread taco we're gonna eat it like a taco assuming the bottom stays it
that wasn't so bad a little messy it's a little messy it's good though yeah i think it's some sort
of beans green chili obviously we're in New Mexico i don't think we've had a meal without green chili
