Carrizozo came into being when the railroad came to town around 1900. It was cattle country and became the county seat of Lincoln County - the area had been the haunt of Billy the Kid, in central-southeast part of state.
Today it is has lost it's luster and livelihood and is trying for a rebirth as an artsy town. Galleries are springing up - and the Burro gimmick is hoping to attract visitors.
A prime candidate for greenchile cheeseburger of the year award is found at the Outpost, a dimly-lit bar with pool tables. Tho a bit oversized - the loosely packed hamburger was crispy on outside (cowboy style) without being dry on the inside. Well-slathered with green chile and the prerequisite mustard, tomato, onion, lettuce. And the French fries were outstanding !
...eaten under one of the many antlered creatures on display . This one a local elk.
