Take a long road trip. Don't just go by what you have heard or read from others.

We road tripped through Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, and Arizona (among other States) last year.

We passed through Las Cruces last year. Got some wonderful tamales and biscochitos. Generally liked the State of New Mexico, but moving to Las Cruces would not personally be our top choice. (I should also add, some areas in Arizona we thought we would love, we did not. And some areas of Colorado we loved over 20 years ago, we were less impressed with this time.)
