Their outlet store is right in the same parking lot as their jerky factory so the product is fresh. If you've never had New Mexico style jerky it's not like the stuff you get down at the convenience store. NM jerky is paper thin, completely dry and crunchy like a chip. It's literally addicting and you can only get it from New Mexico. Another little secret..."Vigil" is the quintessential New Mexico conquistadore surname so this place is as New Mexico as you can get!

EVERY kind of meat - rattlesnake, elk, venison, veal, Ostrich, KANGARAOO and on and on. They have a new selection of Wagyu that looks amazing. I'm sorry I can't remember the name of the sales clerk who showed me around but she was really nice. My dog should thank her, because I woldn't have found the dog snacks on my own. He got a smoked pigs ear. They also have tons of things like cheese and sausages and crackers. So even if you're not looking to stock up your freezer, this would be a great place for a picnic. I got a Wagyu cowboy butter and some breakfast sausage the woman said were amazing. She also told me every saturday from 10-2(?) they coook up free samples of featured items. AMAZING!!!

So, last year, Christmas 2024, I pre-ordered a Prime Rib Roast. I received the confirmation email,…read moreand went to pick it up on the date selected (at time of order). When I arrived, they didn't have my order. Yes, the cut me a roast, but instead if being in and out in 10 minutes, it took about 35-40 minutes. You may not think that time isn't a big deal, but it put me behind on a very tight schedule. So, this year, for Thanksgiving, I had to work, but we (family) still wanted to full meal. I pre-ordered a meal. Again, when I arrived, no meal. It turns out they sold it to someone else. About 30-35 minutes later I was out the door. Okay, they made it right. I get home, and the website said to put everything in the oven to reheat. I set the oven for 350°, removed the plastic wrap and wrapped/sealed in foil, and set the timer for 45 minutes. Ugh! The dressing was dry and bland. The sweet potatoes were grainy and bland, the potatoes ..... well no one ate those as it was like wallpaper paste. The gravy was kinda okay (heated in a pot on the stove top and I added seasonings). The ham..... oh gosh the ham. Before it even went it the oven it was dry and weird-grey looking, so I added a bit of ham broth to the tin and drizzled some honey, then sealed in foil. Nope, still bad. Weird texture, and kinda grey, and dry dry dry, even after it had somewhat absorbed to ham broth. With all that said, I will stop in for their fresh meats and poultry once in a while. I will just never, ever pre-order any holiday meals or meats.

I got ground beef and after I cooked and ate it I was instantly sick and had the most terrible food poisoning I've ever experienced. I had to go to the hospital because my fluids were severely low and I couldn't stop throwing up. I wasn't the only one to experience this because right after eating our dinner my boyfriend also started to feel terrible and he also got food poisoning. I don't know what is going on over there but there needs to be something done about this ! I have never fallen ill in a matter of minutes and spend a night in the hospital because of ground meat . Do better !
