By "U-Mountain" are you talking about what I know of as Supper Rock? Kinda looks like a small volcano with a rock top? Also, I've got pictures of the "waterfall" when it actually had a decent stream flowing through it. I'll have to see if I can find it...
Sorry, I didn't realize homesickness was contagious
I believe so. Thought I never heard of it called Supper Rock. Thought Supper Rock Park is right by there.
We called it "U Mountain" because it used to have a big white U on it.
I'd love to see that picture. But you're probably talking about 'The Other Waterfall'. I'm talking about the one at the top of Copper/Indian School behind Supper Rock/U Mountain. Then there is 'The Other Waterfall' which is much bigger and at Menaul
wow....all of these make me look forward even more to coming to UNM in the fall as a grad student. And, I'm not ashamed to admit it, I'm EXTREMELY you guys have a Taco Cabana, or as we call it in San Antonio, Taco C. The original Taco C is 5 blocks from my college and I have great memories of the place. But I'm also looking forward to discovering the true difference between New Mexican cuisine and Tex-Mex!

Good luck on that one, LOL!!
San Antonio has fantastic Tex-Mex (and probably some (more or less) interior Mexican food places, too, as does Austin) places.
It's one of the things I miss the most about Texas. I got vastly better Mexican/New Mexican/Tex-Mex food last week in Durango, CO than I ever have in New Mexico, especially here (Alamogordo), where the food is mostly a generic, bland mess. Even one semi-fast food place there (Tacos Nayarit) had better food than what I can get here.
Too bad the tourist-trappy places tend to have the best restaurants, but I have found that to be true in both Durango and Ruidoso. I asked for a hotter sauce at three places, and all were very accomodating--one to the point where my eyes were watering/nose running. Besides the salsa, the food tasted good without it, too!
It all often tends to run together in some restaurants, too. After all, Tex-Mex, New Mexican and interior Mexican all share the same roots to an extent. Add to that the fact that there are some real regional differences among all three! It's all fun to try, and I love 'em all!
But I haven't eaten at any of the restaurants in ABQ in a very long time, and I imagine there are some excellent ones there. You'll find them over time, I'm sure!

I think you've been missing out then, because Albuquerque and Santa Fe have some fantastic New Mexican food. It's different than Tex-Mex and Mexican - it's not the same as the stuff you find in many parts of Texas.
You outta try one of the great places like The Shed in Santa Fe, or Sadies in Albuquerque. IMO those are a good start to get a better idea what New Mexico food is really about. It's definetly NOT Tex-Mex!
For some eclectic New Mexico food try the pumpkin posole and white wine sangria at the Plaza Cafe in Santa Fe. Mmmmm!!!!
