Cathy, is that across from the Shell station? If so it did have another name a few years ago. May have to try it out again.
Jane
I honestly cannot remember!!! The sign says Tortillas to go...then La Hacienda Family Restaurant. Now you both are driving me crazy trying to remember what else was nearby!!!!
For Jane: Yes, La Hacienda is near the Shell station, which is across the street, so it is at least the right building, whether ownership and name have changed or not. It's worth trying out!
More bazillion things to do, so stop for lunch at the All You Can Eat Buffet....on First Street, near Walmart.
They had a nice selection of stir-fries with combinations of beef, chicken, pork, shrimp and plenty of veggies, so there is something for those who don't want all the starch and heavy breading. The beef, pork and shrimp entrees were good, but the chicken ones had a definite leftover taste.
They had 4 different kinds of soup, and I sampled the hot and sour (it was good, but not hot) and egg drop...both good.
They had an island with plenty of the usual starchy stuff...eggrolls, breaded onion rings, sweet/sour pork, et al, but I didn't sample those!
I could not find any Schezchuwan (sp????) or Hunan.....nothing I had was spicy, and I didn't notice anything that was supposed to be spicy...*sigh*
They had an island with a small amount of salad fixings, fruit, melon...so again, something for those who want lighter fare.
Desserts offered were cookies, a couple of kinds of cake, pudding...and the usual glop out of the machine. Said glop is pure junk, but I always get a small bowl...LOL!!
There is supposed to be a Korean place around here somewhere...I'll keep looking.
Again, I noticed that the food was not oversalted. I didn't need to add any salt at all, but it was still far less salt than is usually added to the entrees. Of course, you had the usual soy sauce at the table if you wanted all that saltiness!!
I am beginning to find that sort of odd. The Chinese buffets in Midland had enough salt to last you the rest of your life, LOL!!!

Yes, that's right, Harry....
Any suggestions as to what I should try next?
I have several more Mexican...a few Asian....and Pepper's Grill. That is a chain, but I have never tried it.
You know how nasty Taco Bell is....well, I wondered if Alamo's Taco Bell was worse than Midland's....yes, it is. Boy, that was just AWFUL, LOL!!! I should have known better, but hey, it was only 3 tacos, so.....and I was still wet from my swim, and didn't want to go in anyplace...!!!

Cathy,
Yes it isn't the best, but the price is right and if we see less than 3 cars in the drive through any time of the day we are shocked. Usually in the evening there are at least 7 at all times. And speed is a factor for many going to and from jobs.

Wow. I went by near lunchtime, so I was not surprised to see a line of cars.
I'd have to be VERY hungry, very desperate and VERY tired before I'd go back.
I'll try Golden Corral at some point, too. They are also nearby. GC is one of those that varies wildly. Midland's was so bad that it closed for lack of business. Yet others in nearby towns were decent.
Hey Cathy,
We're going to be back in Timberon/Alamogordo Nov.2-9 if you want to get together with us and have lunch somewhere. Not sure yet what day we'll be in Alamo. Gonna go to Belen and Albq. sometime that week too.
Too bad Jane and Kent won't be there. They won't be back till Dec.
I can hardly wait to get there full time.
