Restaurants in Zuni

“(Disclaimer: We were too hungry to remember pictures of the actual food before eating)Pie head here...gotta try the pie everywhere I go, whether its just passing through or trying to establish a new long term relationship.Still not quite sure how I ended up living on a Native American reservation, specifically the Zuni reservation (much too personal for restaurant review)...but even if I didn't have such a knowledgeable guide, there's basically no way to miss Chu Chu's and not say to yourself, "yea, lets grab a bite to eat there".No, seriously, this place is right off the main road into town, and has a dominant presence like no other structure except maybe the brand new Halona Supermarket...the owner must be a billionaire by now.So, I was already on my in for the Pizza, but without any pretense you'd probably never guess that their specialty is Pizza and Subs, but by the time you're seated and get your menu with the Native American looking Chef Boyardee mascot on every page, you'll probably get the hint.A word about the venue itself....the place is massive!, well decorated with an authentic and unique decour that feels classy but home-y, and apparently serves as a community hub for birthday parties and many other social functions. Like, even the Governor eats at Chu-Chu's once a week...its that big of a deal.Interestingly enough, the entire reservation is dry, so don't expect to wash away the inevitable and pleasant tingle of green chile from your palette with cold beer...this however does make a statement about the strength and quality of the food and drink menu.We had a feast...starting with the standard XL Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizza which I use as a reference for any first time patronage, except with a New Mexico twist; the aforementioned Green Chile, which was baked in just right, and enhanced the Pizza as opposed to hindering it. We also ordered a Brisket platter that I must say was as unique as it was delicious...specifically, compared to the more widespread Texas style, the cuts were thinner and less charred, but well carmelized with less salt, and lighter in color. (Will need to do a Youtube dive about that actually...)Long story short, we had leftover Pizza to go, and I'll definitely be back, with hopes of bumping into the Govna of course!Special shoutout to Alex, the young and charming host, server, and manager on duty...apparently he's been working there since the 1st grade, so if you have any questions, you should def ask him. He knows.Thanks Alex, We'll be back!”

“I don't know which person was responsible for shutting down the restroom were visitors coming thru from time to time we usually stop there at halona for the best chicken in n.m. but they need to make sure restrooms are open .”
