She was so chipper and welcoming! Just sweet as could be. First off the chips and salsa. I mean other worldly! How did they get them so thin and crispy. The salsa a perfect spice not too much. Fresh! Ordered the combination plate. Again was expecting over the top spice since I am in NM. The green sauce was medium spicy, almost not spicy enough for me, not very thick you could taste the broth. The red was good too! Barbacoa very flavorful. Beans and rice like my tia used to make! I am a stickler for grefried beans! Authentic! Plenty of food! Basic tables, the mural on the wall just adds to the authenticity of the food! Plus the locals come so you know it is good.

Stopped in for a frosty beverage and wound up ordering a…read morepizza and getting some loose tea too. Walked in while out in the area visiting. A large open space with high ceilings. Several tables and chairs along with some booths. Walk up counter service was friendly and kind. I ordered a dirty soda to start and then got a wrap and a pizza to go, then found loose teas on the wall and needed some butterfly pea flower tea, so grabbed a large bag of it as well. My soda was made to order, old school style like the way they made them back before soda came in cans and bottles. It was refreshing and flavorful and hit the spot. The wrap and pizzas were both also made fresh to order. Both also were very good. A friendly, community oriented eatery that provides a safe space for every one, as well as eats and treats for visitors to enjoy while there. 4 Stars a great little business that is a community hub and worth your support 01319

I wanted iced coffee. Then I wanted iced tea. So what did I settle on? A 16 oz dirty soda called the Sweet Red Solution (cream soda, ice cream, cherry syrup, topped with whipped cream & a cherry). Lol. It was a delicious sweet treat to beat the heat. They sell lots of other drink items and snacks. I also requested a pup cup for my dog waiting in the air-conditioned Jeep. That set me back $8. Card and cash was accepted. Service was friendly. Check their hours before heading there. They currently are closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

We…read morehappened to come across the local farmers market, where Frost 5 had their truck set up--and what a lucky find! We ordered a lemonade, strawberry lemonade, and sweet tea. The regular lemonade was hands-down the best I've ever had--exactly how lemonade should taste: perfectly balanced, tart and sweet, and incredibly refreshing. Their homemade syrups really set them apart, and the strawberry purée in the lemonade was sweet and delicious. My wife is a sweet tea snob, and even she was thoroughly impressed with theirs. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and we loved that they offer a discount on refills if you bring your cup back. All in all, a fantastic experience during a less-than-ideal weekend. We'll definitely be on the lookout for Frost 5 next time we're in Tucumcari!

The food is absolutely delicious--our go-to orders are the asada taco plates, asada nachos, and asada fries. Every single bite is packed with flavor, and the red sauce takes it to the next level. Add a squeeze of fresh lime, and it's like Christmas in your mouth! They also offer drinks sometimes, and we always grab their horchata--it's perfect! During the winter, they had a warm chocolate milk mixed with horchata that was the ultimate holiday treat. I can't say enough about this place. If you're in Clovis and love authentic street tacos, El Mr Hoi-doy is a must-try!

It was late in the afternoon so I wasn't sure if there would be any food trucks we liked next to…read morethe Clovis library, but I was certain that neither Lee nor I felt like cooking this evening. There were only three: one with Asian food with all its fresh bean sprouts and green onions and crispy fried rice, one with super crispy fried chicken, and the barbecue truck, Jetfire. The owner (I guessed) was out front, talking to another guy. I asked if they were open and if they had anything that a couple of old folks who couldn't chew "too good" could eat, maybe some brisket so fatty it would melt in your mouth. He kind of shook his head and then said, "I could chop some brisket up nice and soft and put it on a plate with two sides or a sandwich or just some meat by the pound?" Long story slightly shorter, he disappeared into the Jetfire truck and emerged a few minutes later with 2 chopped beef sandwiches, 2 sides of beans, 1 side of mac-n-cheese and a side of potato salad. We took it home and began eating some of the finest barbecue I've tasted in a very long time -- maybe sometime in the 30 years or so I lived in Austin, TX, and it wasn't just the chopped brisket -- each dish was a treat unto itself! The beef had bits of charred fat concentrated with the smoke and maybe worcestershire and horseradish? I don't know, but it was delectable! The bun was perfectly toasted on the grill in butter or maybe beef fat. The potato salad was the perfect combination, IMO, of vinegary, mustardy and mayonnaisey and the mac-n-cheese was the perfect texture of soft but not soggy with a lighter, a little sweeter sauce and chunks of Velveeta in it to give you an occasional burst of cheesy flavor. I think the folks running this truck have a secret ingredient that gives everything a depth and complexity you don't find just anywhere. This has become my go-to barbecue in the area and I recommend it to any BBQ lover. Plus the gentleman who rustled up this food for us was a damn nice guy! The plates were 10 bucks a piece-- well, worth the price, but one plate with one extra side would have been more than enough for the two of us who have fairly light appetites. (We will enjoy leftovers tomorrow!) Thank you, Jetfire!
