The Adobe Deli in Deming, NM

---

When you find yourself hungry in Deming, NM, you have the chance to go to one of the most eclectic places you’ll see in your life. It is hard to find, hard to see even as you stand right in front of it, but once you go through its doors, you are glad you made it.

Bears, deer, crocodiles, turkeys, you name it… they’re all there staring back at you. (Do not fret, they’re not alive!) They are surrounded by hundreds of trinkets – car plates, jacket patches, funny signs – making even a visit to the bathroom an experience.

You can watch the huge projection of a football or baseball game that will be showing over one of the walls, while you taste the variety of beer that is available on tap. Steak dinners, hamburgers, fish plates – everything looks good. (Steak prices range in the $20s but hamburgers and other selections are in the $10s.)

This is a large space that seems to be a converted barn. It is kept warm inside with gas lamps and a wooden stove. Again, getting there is tricky (the last bit you’ll drive on a dirt road) but it is worth the hassle.
