Rude Boy Cookies 115 Harvard DR NE #7 Albuquerque, NM 87106 I can’t lie. I have to have a sweet treat on a daily. Well my sweet tooth lead me to my favorite cookies. Rude Boy cookies is not just your average cookie spot. They warm the cookies to order and have a cold milk bar. My taste buds cried out for the deconstructed ice cream sandwich which started with coffee ice cream warm chocolate chip cookies and a Maui mudslide cookie which is a double chocolate chip cookie with caramel chunks, macadamia nuts and espresso drizzle. Talk about a sug- ar rush it was rich creamy and super yummy. Rude Boy has their regular menu and monthly specials to fit each season of the year. This cookie shop has a hip, upbeat at- mosphere located in the UNM area. If my review hasn’t convinced you maybe knowing that they are a winner of a cookie challenge competition on the food network w ill. The winning cookie is a traditional New Mexican cookie the biscochito. Buckhorn Burger 68 US 380 San Antonio, NM My travels south lead me to a little burger joint located in San Antonio, NM. The Buckhorn is a very New Mexican spot with its southwest de- cor. The people are welcoming and proud of this gem. Featured on the Food Network series, Din- ers, Drive-in and Dives. This burger joint deserves to be on the map. I had the Buckhorn hamburger special. Its an all beef patty topped with red or green chile, fresh cut french fries, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and a big slice of texas toast. It was everything you should expect from a burger. This tip lived up to all the hype. They have a traditional green chili burger as well as local favorites such as enchiladas, Frito pie and a good old fashion bowl of beans and chile with a tortilla on the side. So, if you’re traveling south or just wanna take a little trip for an amazing burger, stop by the Buckhorn. 45
