We went to Hidden Mountain Brewing after traveling 8 hours on a road trip, and got real hungry. The dining was not busy at 7:45 on a Friday night and we got seated right away. We both ordered Frito Pies, red chile. We also order margaritas, which at $14.00 was still pretty expensive, but good. The Frito Pies were pretty goodm considering we hadn't had New Mexico chile in months. I also tried their Rosa Mexicana Margarita. Sugar instead of salt on rim. Not good. I will go back for more food, and try the brews. A very nice touch was the Mexican Mariachi played on the speakers.

The Breakfast Club is advertised over Pirate Radio so we gave it a try on Saturday morn. It was busy, but we got seated right away. The waitress was accommodating. We got our drinks right away. Our order came soon. My wife had the breakfast burrito. It is the blandest burrito she ever had eaten. Flour tortilla good. Egg and hash brown filling good. But filling missed seasoning, grated cheese, red or green chili, onions, garlic, cilantro. The topping had a small amount of melted cheese with a small amount of Cholula.
I ordered the Poor Boy biscuit and gravy with hash browns. Hash browns were good, the biscuit was good. The gravy was bland. The Roux that was used to make the gravy seemed to be missing flavor. I could not tell if the Roux was made with vegetable oil, bacon grease, or from sausage grease. It was more like thickened milk with a little pepper mixed in. So I don't think the restaurant was special enough to return to for a while.
