🌮 Tasting Classic Mexican Tacos in New Mexico! 🚗💨

Today, while driving through Albuquerque, I stopped at Monroe’s Restaurant – a local gem known for its authentic New Mexican and Mexican flavors. I couldn’t resist trying their classic tacos, and let me tell you, it was a moment that instantly reminded me of LeBron James’ famous “Taco Tuesday” craze! 🏀🌮 📍 Location & Vibe Monroe’s has been serving the community since 1969, and you can feel the history and warmth as soon as you walk in. The decor is cozy and rustic, with traditional Southwestern elements that make you feel right at home. It’s the kind of place where locals gather, and visitors quickly become regulars. 🌯 The Food – Classic Tacos I ordered their classic hard-shell beef tacos – crispy, generously filled with seasoned ground beef, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and topped with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Each bite was a perfect crunch of flavor! ✨ Why it stood out: The beef was perfectly spiced – not too oily, not too dry. The shells were freshly fried and held up well without falling apart. They served it with classic sides like Mexican rice and refried beans, which were both hearty and delicious. 🍋 Toppings & Extras No taco is complete without toppings! Monroe’s offers a variety of salsas and condiments, including: A tangy green chile sauce (a New Mexico staple!) A smooth and slightly spicy red salsa Fresh lime wedges to squeeze over the tacos for that zesty kick 😋 Taco Tuesday Vibes As I enjoyed my meal, I couldn’t help but think of LeBron’s iconic “Taco Tuesday” celebrations.
