I happened upon the most extraordinary find in Uptown Albuquerque, and I am still absolutely…read morereeling from the experience! The venue boasts this incredibly charming, traditional Mexican exterior, but inside lies the most brilliant, high-concept fusion of Mediterranean and Mexican influences. The design choices are utterly inspired, creating a space that feels both vibrant and beautifully curated. Now, let's talk about the concept because it is a total masterclass in bespoke dining. They feature an exquisite display of fresh meats, artisanal sausages, and meatballs you simply select your precise desires and hand them over to be cooked to order! The level of attentive, personalized service was nothing short of magnificent. Frankly, the only other place I've experienced this caliber of hospitality is the legendary Red Rock Deli. It was such a refreshing, novel treat! I selected a gorgeous array of meatballs and premium ham. The kitchen absolutely transformed them, pairing the meatballs with beautifully prepared eggplant. By the time they presented it alongside two divine Stuffed Cabbage Rolls and warm, artisanal bread, I was entirely enchanted.

It was expensive for what you got. That was kind of the biggest bummer of the experience…read more The food we got took a while and wasn't very hot when we got it. The brats were delicious - whatever herbs are in there are delicious. The schnitzel was also good and there was enough we were able to take it and eat half of it later. We also ordered meat pierogis and sweet pierogis.They were all very small. For$16-$20 I would've liked them to be more than two small bites/one large bite each. There are no fountain drinks only cans/bottles. All that said, like I said, the meats were delicious. The potato salad with dill was delicious. The Eastern European market stuff was fun and I saw a lot of things I want to go back and get. There's a lot of cool polish stuff on the walls.

I've had this place on my radar for a while so finally ordered delivery. I got the lucky burger and…read morethe wild style fries as well as the Cookies and Cream shake. I've had regular burgers in ABQ that weren't this good. I've never beeen a fan of Impossible meat but I couldn't tell at all in this delicious, good sized burger. The Wild Style fries are Similiary to Animal Fries and just as good. And I was only going to drink a little of the milk shake but drank the whole thing. Good value, especially for a vegan meal. I will definitely order from here again.

I peruse the menu, another customer drops their shake. Gonna be longer. That's fine, go help them. "No, I can take your order REALLY FAST." Well, I was looking at the menu, but cool to be rushed. I remember when the young lady that used to work there was at the counter. 6-8 people in line, greeted with a smile and Hi! Welcome in! There was a longer wait, but it was ok, because the service was good, and so was the food. Today? I'll never return. I spent over $15.00 including a credit card surcharge (a business owner that wants to take credit cards but can't be bothered to be a business owner and pay their bills.) I left a $5 cash tip - I figured I'd the business owner can't pay the 3% on a bad merchant account, they most likely aren't paying the staff livable wages... I sat down and put my gear down, and waited... for about 15 minutes, before this garbage salad that was falsely advertised as having toppings and 3 sliced chick'n strips. The entire salad didn't fill the bowl.? On the bottom were less than a teaspoon of diced tomatoes. In the entire salad there was ONE "fried onion." The lettuce was chopped like slop, there was barely enough chick'n to call it 1.5 slices. Absolute trash. For 15$ I ate my salad, listening as Morticia Addams' understudy pleasantly said good bye, have a nice day, et cetera to the customers who were leaving. I got up, threw my trash, walked out. Silence: The whole time I was in there, a cheap speaker was streaming some crappy 90s "radio friendly hip hop." When my salad was brought to me, even after explaining it's very hard to eat, or carry , a salad on a motorcycle, it arrived in a to-go/carry out, lid is RIGHT THERE,.Morticia helpfully pointed it out, a subtle hint that I wasn't a welcome guest. As I was gearing up to get on my motorcycle out comes our antagonist. Not to be polite or anything. To smoke or vape. I didn't stick around to smell which one she was doing in the doorway. I get it, lucky goose doesn't want my money. They've made it abundantly clear. That's fine. I'll go to Steelbender, where they have vegan options, and like that customers come on to give them money.

If you are in Albuquerque and craving a solid banh mi, CODA Bakery is a great spot to check out. I…read moreordered the classic banh mi dac biet, and it absolutely delivered. The cold cuts were flavorful, the bread was fresh, and the meat to bread ratio was just right since I like more meat than bread. This is an excellent option for a quick lunch, but I would recommend staying to eat if you can. The decor is simple, the space is clean, and there are a few tables available. It does get busy during the lunch rush, but the line moves quickly and is well worth the wait. While the banh mi definitely steals the show, there are plenty of other options on the menu. Their banh cuon, thin rice noodles filled with ground pork and wood ear mushrooms, was good, though still second to the sandwiches. They also offer pate chau, a flaky puff pastry filled with pork pate, including a New Mexico style version with chicken and green chile. They have a variety of Vietnamese desserts like che, which I did not get a chance to try this time. My coworker loved their traditional Vietnamese hot coffee. I do not drink coffee, but I did enjoy one of their smoothies, which was refreshing and delicious. Overall, CODA Bakery is a go to spot for authentic Vietnamese flavors and one of the best places in Albuquerque for banh mi.

The place is small and cute and you do have to order your food at the counter and then they bring it out to your table. The bathroom is super tiny but clean.
