From Las Cruces sometimes we would go down the back road to Griggs Restaurant. La Posta still has good food, but too bad the other nephews messed up El Pinto in Albuquerque.JKHomeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872267820343067960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300131717426626197.post-78415644843148939152016-08-21T21:41:09.921-07:002016-08-21T21:41:09.921-07:00No, the Queso is similar but not from the cookbook...No, the Queso is similar but not from the cookbook.
