My favorite food of all time. Losbetos in Albuquerque was my favorite place to grab a quick carne adovada burrito. Too bad it's closed now.

Since that first time described above I've eaten posole in i-don't-know-how-many restaurants in New Mexico (More often than not I take my vacation there, and plan on retiring there eventually as well) and it's never the same from place to place. The only thing that stays the same is that it's always good |
I know what you mean, I guess I just can't appreciate the posole many restaurants make, since my grandma makes the best posole ever.

One advantage to my line of work is that I've been to, and eaten in, tons of places around the country. This is not, however, an advantage for my waistline |
Thanks for the tips I will try to find my way to these places before I move back to Albuquerque for med school in a few months.
