I stopped at the Foxy hoping to get one last green chile fix before leaving New Mexico. What a terrible mistake!
First, I expected a drive-in to be relatively quick. Not necessarily fast-food quick, mind you; but it took over 20 minutes from ordering to receive my food--and the place was well less than half full.
The "Mexican" food was neither that nor anything resembling traditional New Mexican; rather, it was a piss-poor imitation of Tex-Mex. The enchilada sauce was a rusty brown, the tortillas a soggy gray, and the ground beef looked as though it came out of a can. All of it was incredibly bland, tasting like nothing so much as wet cardboard. The whole thing came in a tiny little tinfoil tray like a 1950s TV dinner, with no rice or beans, just a little pile of shredded iceberg lettuce on one end.
I'd sooner eat Taco Bell than repeat that meal.
After choking it down because I'd already lost too much time to go somewhere else, I ordered a chocolate malt, hoping to wash the previous non-flavors out of my mouth and memory. Alas, what I got contained no trace of malt powder; rather, it had the flavor and consistency of cheap vanilla soft-serve mixed with Hershey's syrup. Yuck!
Somehow this place has stayed open since 1956. I hope and pray that it has sharply declined in the recent past, and that people in Clovis don't actually LIKE its current fare!
