Thanks for the report. It definitely seems like the type of place that is going to be pretty hit or miss.

I tried this place for breakfast today–really hoping to find a decent breakfast burrito–and I gotta say, it was pretty terrible. Soggy, flavorless hash browns, mediocre eggs, and you could probably get better salsa and tortillas at Kroger. The only thing that tasted passably good was the chorizo, which is kind of hard to screw up. Also the service was ridiculously slow (I think I waited 25 minutes for my food, and there were no orders ahead of me.)

Dinner may be better. But I doubt I can be bothered to find out.

Awesome! I can’t wait to visit when I get back to Durham in November.

So when you were eating the goat, did you reveal yourself as the no-longer-mythical chupacabra?

I was at the International Birding Center on the Rio Grande this afternoon. One of the big birds there is called a chachalaca but I’m terrible with new names and kept wanting to call it a chupacabra (or a chimichanga, which your new restaurant serves).

I asked my park ranger pal (who got his PhD in biology at Duke) if they had any henways. Alas, they don’t.
