Restaurateurs say they spoke too quickly about closing

New Mexico Tamale Company Co-owners Dora Ruiz and Tammy Look had announced over the weekend that they were closing their business. The announcement took many of their customers and business neighbors by surprise.

But this afternoon, they again took to their Facebook page to announce that perhaps they had been too hasty in their decision-making.

They said the business will be open normal hours tomorrow (normally closed Sundays and Mondays).

      Not seeing it. Can you be more specific?

      • Kate R February 25, 2019

        Should be “Restauranteurs”.

        While attending a national food service convention, I was chastised for putting the ‘n’ in restaurateur. Apparently that’s a sign of someone not from their world. I’ve never made that mistake again.

        You sent me to the dictionary on that one Joe! You are right, but until this morning I would have been with Kate.

        And we intend to try NMTC soon. Downtown needs good places to eat.

        Does anyone else remember when that old Quonset hut was The Eagle’s Roost and KENY radio had a broadcast from there?

      There is no “n” in restaurateurs. It is spelled correctly.

    Hoorah! I am so glad to hear they are going to try and stay! I will be over to get a dozen tamales in March, guaranteed!

    Thanks for posting this! I’ve been meaning to check NMTC out, but haven’t. This gives me incentive to go. Hopefully others will too…
