When you’re driving across America’s wide-open spaces, your worst enemies are an empty tank and an empty belly. Although a car may not be picky about the brand of gas you put into it, a body cannot run on beef jerky alone. That’s why we’re crazy about NEW MEXICO ROAD FOOD. Perhaps it’s the harmonious convergence of Mexican, American Indian, and Western-frontier cooking traditions found there, or maybe it’s the daunting distances between population centers, but we know of no other state in the Union where you can so consistently find such tasty cooking along the asphalt byways, often only steps from the gas pump.

Thanks to Colorado Luis for the pointer.
You’re welcome! I am looking forward to giving this list a test drive the next time I road trip to Phoenix.
I had dinner at a place in Carlsbad recently called the Red Chimney Pit BBQ. It might have been the best barbeque I’d ever had. Highly recommended next time business or travel takes you down south.
