At Nexus Blue Smokehouse, we’re all about pushing the boundaries of flavor. Our unique approach to BBQ and comfort food blends the soulful flavors of Southern cuisine with the bold spices of New Mexican cooking. The result? A dining experience that’s as exciting as it is delicious.
What Is New Mexican Soul Food?
New Mexican Soul Food is our tribute to two incredible culinary traditions. From the South, we’ve borrowed the comforting flavors of fried chicken, collard greens, and cornbread. From New Mexico, we’ve incorporated the fiery heat of red and green chile, earthy blue corn, and vibrant spices. Together, these elements create a menu that’s completely original and undeniably delicious.
Highlights from Our Fusion Menu
At Nexus Blue Smokehouse, our menu is packed with dishes that showcase this unique flavor fusion:
- Red Chile Fried Chicken: Juicy, tender fried chicken seasoned with our signature red chile spice blend. It’s a dish that delivers just the right amount of heat.
- Smoked Brisket with Green Chile Glaze: Our signature brisket gets a New Mexican twist with a tangy, slightly spicy green chile glaze that enhances the smoky flavor.
- Collard Greens with a Southwestern Twist: A classic Southern side is reimagined with the addition of Hatch green chiles, creating a bold and flavorful complement to any dish.
- Blue Corn Waffles with Honey Butter: This fan-favorite dessert is the perfect way to round out your meal. The sweet, nutty flavor of blue corn pairs beautifully with creamy honey butter.
