OK, I admit, it has been a long time since my last blog post. Life has a weird way of deviating you from many things you want to pursue.
With that out of the way, lets get to it.
Recently, I accompanied my wife to a work training which happened to be at a hot location. Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino, and believe me, I was excited. Every time we decided to go to Santa Fe, this resort was definitely on our list of locations to visit. This time though, I knew that I couldn’t really experience all this place had to offer, due to the fact that I had a toddler in tow and no babysitter, so I figured that I would try the the food.
Since, this is a popular resort I figured that this was a way I can experience the resort with my daughter and let the foodie in me explore a location I have never been before.
So here comes my opinion, this place truly is not somewhere you want to bring a family unless you have a nanny in tow. Honestly, I figured that this was going to a be a fun weekend for us but I slowly discovered that if you want to have fun in this place, do not bring your children.
Considering that this place considers itself a top getaway for any New Mexican, you would assume that gaming is not the only premise to lure people to its location. Its highway allure and T.V. marketing, will lure some families to find a way to escape the mundane activities that are so prevalent in our everyday lives.
Don’t get me wrong, there are many different activities that people enjoy, such as the golfing, and the beautiful accommodations that is offered, but the food is terrible. When I say terrible, I am not holding back. I had such high hopes, that when I took my first bite, I was surprised. I have come to find that places like this have a generic taste.
When I took my first bite of the the food, I felt like I was taken back to my college days and I was eating in the cafeteria just to survive. Its disappointing to see such a beautiful hotel stoop to such a low level, culinary speaking, that it takes away from such an amazing experience that you have drive south to Santa Fe, just to take the taste out of your mouth.
Honestly, this is not a foodie location. All you get is a generic taste provided by corporate hotel, and total disappointment of a culinary experience you expected.
Drive south to Santa Fe, and find a real restaurant.
Until Then, Happy Eating.
