Los Felix Mexican Restaurant on Montgomery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As we strode into Los Felix on a windy Saturday in May, we espied a very attractive young lady pointing an extendable selfie stick at her face as she spoke a thousand words a minute.\u00a0 “Great<\/em>,” we figured “another self-absorbed Gen Xer sharing the mundane details of her day on social media<\/em>.”\u00a0 Boy were we wrong.\u00a0 That young lady turned out to be Gaby Camez, a social media influencer who posts restaurant reviews on Facebook.\u00a0 Gaby’s site, Comiendo Rico en Albuquerque<\/a><\/strong>, is a celebration of the Duke City’s Mexican restaurants.<\/p>\n

Even if you’re not fortunate enough to speak and understand Spanish, you’ll love her site, especially the enthusiasm and respect with which she treats a restaurant’s bounty.\u00a0\u00a0 When we got home, we (mostly me) listened to her review of Los Felix<\/a><\/strong> where I gleaned much of the information on this post.\u00a0 Gaby addresses her listeners as “mi gente<\/em>” (my people), a term of endearment for her listeners.\u00a0 I don’t know if The Dude and I qualify yet as members of her gente, but I was flattered by her asking\u00a0 if I’m Argentinian (apparently my accent gave me away.)<\/p>\n

Some of the Items on Los Felix Expansive Brunch-Breakfast Weekend Buffet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Under the impression that “Felix” was the owner’s first name, I asked our lovely server why the restaurant wasn’t named “El Felix”.\u00a0\u00a0 She clarified that Felix is the family name (reminiscent of Mark Felix, a stellar basketball player for the UNM Lobos during the Norm Ellenberger<\/a><\/strong> era).\u00a0 The owner (her father) is Lucio Felix.\u00a0 The family restaurant is located on the Northeast intersection of Montgomery and San Pedro in a timeworn shopping center that has seen dozens of restaurants come and go over the years.\u00a0 Los Felix has staying power.\u00a0 It’s been in the same location for six years now.<\/p>\n

Lucio Felix has been cooking for years. Before relocating to Albuquerque, he plied his craft at several Mexican restaurants in the Valley of the Sun (Phoenix, Arizona). \u00a0 When he and his family moved to Albuquerque,\u00a0 they started out by making tamales and burritos and selling to people themselves.\u00a0 Eventually, he decided to launch his own restaurant and has made it his quest to\u00a0 provide Albuquerque diners with quality authentic Mexican food.\u00a0 Los Felix serves up made-to-order foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner at very reasonable prices.\u00a0 The restaurant even offers discounted happy hour pricing between 3PM and 6PM.\u00a0 Los Felix has a 4.4 rating on Yelp over 73 reviews as of this writing.<\/p>\n

Salsa Muy Picante<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

4 May 2024<\/strong>: \u00a0We expected to order off the weekday menu which includes seafood items (mariscos)–ceviche, shrimp cocktail, aguachiles, camarones a la diabla, coco preparado–as well as entrees for landlubbers (marineros de agua dulce in Spanish).\u00a0\u00a0 Those include some of the usual suspects: burritos, tacos, enchiladas, chile rojo, chile verde and more.\u00a0 As luck would have it, on the Saturday of our inaugural visit Los Felix was offering a bountiful brunch buffet (far better described by Gaby).\u00a0 The buffet is available on weekends with a special seafood buffet available on Mothers Day 2024. \u00a0NOTE<\/strong>: \u00a0During our second visit, we were informed that the buffet has been discontinued. \u00a0Whether or not it will be reinstated remains up in the air.<\/p>\n

8 August 2024<\/strong>: \u00a0Being pregnant is not the only time food cravings affect women…and men. \u00a0When in the throes of a particularly nasty cold, I crave (and have been known to visit) the Horseman’s Haven’s<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 piquant chile. \u00a0It’s the most potent in the state. \u00a0That chile has been known to clear up any congestion I may have, particularly when paired with hot coffee. \u00a0My Kim’s cravings aren’t nearly as incendiary. \u00a0Getting over a cold, she craves scrambled eggs the way Lucio Felix prepares them (fluffy and delicate tinged with onions and cheese).<\/p>\n

\"\"
Molcajetes de Mariscos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On the weekday (Thursday) of our second visit, we were shocked to see an empty restaurant, not a customer in sight. \u00a0Los Felix had just recently been painted, now sporting a Mediterranean blue color that inspired me to explore the restaurant’s seafood offerings. \u00a0Though several of them beckoned, the molcajetes de mariscos<\/strong><\/em> (shrimp, crab, squid) called loudest. \u00a0This is one brash and bad (in the best sense of the term) seafood dish. \u00a0Chiltepin, small, berry-like chiles that kick like an angry mule, are ground into the molcajete to which two types of incendiary salsa are added. \u00a0Avocadoes and lemon slices add richness and a tangy citrus that barely tempers the heat which goes right to the back of your throat. \u00a0The seafood are fresh and absolutely delicious.<\/p>\n

4 May 2024<\/strong>: Gleaming metal trays and an electric steam table are replete with hot and cold foods.\u00a0 Our hostess gave us a guided tour of the buffet.\u00a0 At that point we dispensed with our menus and decided to go with the buffet.\u00a0 That’s when our real challenge started.\u00a0 There is just so much from which to choose.\u00a0 My Kim nabbed a few slices of watermelon before trying anything else.\u00a0 We marveled at how everyone else in the Albuquerque area can select a sweet, ripe watermelon.\u00a0 We somehow manage to find only mealy or green watermelons no matter how many vendors have “taught” us how to find the “perfect” watermelon.\u00a0 As an aside, though Los Felix does not offer aguas frescas, Lucio actually made one for my Kim.\u00a0 It was very refreshing.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Top Mole de Pollo Bottom: Ceviche and Shrimp Cocktail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

4 May 2024<\/strong>: I was apparently so eager to get started with the buffet that I didn’t see salsa bowls directly in front of me.\u00a0 So you’ll forgive me if the photo of the plateful of salsa and chips<\/em><\/strong> just doesn’t look right.\u00a0 What matters is how they tasted.\u00a0 Very few salsas even faze me.\u00a0 The one pictured above, a mixture of napalm and hell fire, actually bit back.\u00a0 It reminded me of the fiery qualities of Sichuan<\/a><\/strong> style Chinese chili which is several Scoville units more incendiary than most New Mexican or Mexican chiles.\u00a0 Of course, the more I ate, the more those addictive endorphins kicked in.<\/p>\n

4 May 2024<\/strong>: At just under twenty dollars, the buffet is a real bargain.\u00a0 For example, the sumptuous smorgasbord includes both ceviche<\/em><\/strong> and shrimp cocktail<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 Both are fresh and delicious.\u00a0 The shrimp have a pinkish hue and snap when you bite into them, both indications of their freshness.\u00a0 With red onions, green cilantro and sliced cucumbers, the ceviche has the colors of the Mexican flag.\u00a0 Shrimp has been the most popular seafood in the US for years, representing more than a quarter of the seafood eaten in this country (so it’s not just me).<\/p>\n

\"\"
Birria<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

4 May 2024<\/strong>: Because of my failure to see smaller sized bowls on the buffet table, I served the mole con pollo on the same plate in which I piled on shrimp cocktail and ceviche.\u00a0 The cold seafood dishes leached onto the mole<\/em><\/strong>, but that didn’t take away from the velvety richness of the mole.\u00a0 It’s a mole the color of chocolate (which may have been one of its ingredients) with a delightful array of flavors combining to give it a sweet, savory and slightly piquant profile.\u00a0 Make sure you ask your server for corn tortillas to sop up every bit of that mole.\u00a0 This wasn’t a perfect mole by any means.\u00a0 It would have been closer to perfect had chicken thighs or breasts been used instead of chicken legs.<\/p>\n

4 May 2024<\/strong>: In addition to menudo and mole, the buffet included birria<\/em><\/strong>, the flavorful stew served with its braising liquid.\u00a0 Although it’s birria tacos and quesabirria tacos that have conquered the United States, the beef in the stew wasn’t shredded into tender tendrils for constructing tacos.\u00a0 It looks and eats like a stew.\u00a0 That’s not a bad thing.\u00a0 Not at all.\u00a0 Birria is one of those rare Mexican dishes for which it’s okay to use a tougher, flavorful cut of meat that can stand up to slow cooking and the boldness of assertive spices.\u00a0 This birria wasn’t especially bold, but it was comforting and good.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Neapolitan Ice Cream and Churros<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

4 May 2024<\/strong>: While the buffet included several desserts (watermelon, pineapple, muffins, cantaloupe and cookies), my Kim asked for a dessert from the daily menu.\u00a0\u00a0 That would be churros<\/em><\/strong> with Neapolitan ice cream and a small dollop of whipped cream.\u00a0\u00a0 Those churros–light, golden and crispy fried pastries dusted with cinnamon powder–are terrific.\u00a0 My Kim doesn’t particularly like strawberry flavored ice cream, so she was very grateful that the chocolate ice cream pretty much melted over everything.<\/p>\n
