    Chef Spilca

    Chef Spilca and his crew are amazing. I needed to book a food truck for a staff event and this gentleman agreed to work with us. He even provided a meatless option for our staff who don't eat meat! The food and service were on point. You can tell that the Chef and his team love what they do, and we appreciate them for it. What an awesome team serving delicious food with a smile! Wishing you all the best, Desert Sky on the Fly!!

    Cleanliness, service and food were the best! Music was great and not too loud. Just right.

I must say, it was significantly better to my taste The pickles were gone, but there was still this unusual taste that I really couldn't place. It tasted almost like pickles in the background, but I'm not sure what it was. Suffice to say, the burger was very good. Was it the best burger I've ever had? No. Sadly, that honor goes to Pete's Frites, and he hung it up after ruining all of us who got to try his burger masterpieces before disappearing. But I digress. No Mames treated me like I mattered. They took my opinions and wishes seriously. I am very impressed. The owner and his wife genuinely wanted me to enjoy my experience with their food, and I must say I did. Their tireless efforts to make me a happy customer are very rare, and they should be commended. I had fries this time, and they are the thin, more crispy variety, which are my favorite. I also received a Serrano sauce and a flavored oil "sauce," which I was told they serve with their chicharrones, I believe. I kinda liked it with the fries. I'm upping the rating to 5 stars, because for me, the food is a very strong 4 stars, but their customer service and care for their craft makes it an easy 5 stars. Go pay this place a visit and let them know what you think of their food. They actually listen and will make adjustments. That's a customer's dream.

    Ok, this is now my favorite burger in NM! Getting tired of drooling over their FB posts I decided I…read moreneeded to check this food truck out. It is so nice that they are at the food truck park so there are consistent hours and location. My burger was AMAZING. I opted for the classic smash and first bite in I was already in love. It is flavorful, perfectly balanced, the ingredients taste fresh, and that sauce was bomb. As a side I vouched to add some loaded fries. They were delicious but in the future I think ill vouch for the normal fries. Crispy, thin fries are my favorite and the chorizo liquid made the ones on top soft but I still really enjoyed them. I *have* to go back and try every thing on their menu. Also, shootout to the people working. They were really friendly and got my burger out quickly (which I really appreciated because I went when it was super windy).

Now you get it. This is that, but in a food truck! I got the NY strip steak, with chicken on the side for my 2 year daughter ($29). My partner got the tofu hibachi ($18). This came out to about $50 total. You may be thinking- WOW that's a lot of money. Let me tell you, they give you a TON of food. And not just any food, fresh good quality food. Each hibachi bowl comes with fresh veggies and your choice of white or fried rice-- and if you get fried rice expect that it's cooked fresh on that flame in their truck. They do it exactly as you would expect in a restaurant. So while it did take about 15 minutes to get our food (we were the 2nd folks in line for the day) it would take MUCH longer at a hibachi-style restaurant (hours if you think about it). There was so much food in my bowl I had a whole extra meal the next day that I warmed up in my wok. Now, my partner on the other hand doesn't get quality tofu, and he inhaled his whole plate while we were at the food-truck-park. The tofu was crispy, the rice was fuego, and the veggies were fresh! If you're looking for QUALITY food from a food truck, cuts of meat that are not the "scraps" but the whole prime cut, if you're looking for friendly ladies cooking you a meal that goes the distance than this IS the place. ... and there is a reason this sells out early every day. It's in high demand! I give this 11/10... above and beyond! Ps: I wish I had kept the pictures of the tofu and chicken, for my daughter it was a lot- we even shared with the dog when we got home... and for the tofu it was so supremely cooked. We all ate good!

You can tell he is passionate and love sharing his bbq with his customer. His signature meat? He mentioned the pulled pork meat and the brisket! The side worthy of trying (although Theo himself doesn't like coleslaw himself? The pineapple coleslaw...based on my brief discussion with another local customer I met onsite! I personally found that the price/value for the amount and quality of food Nomad's bbq provides is well worth it. I had a pulled pork sandwich (plus a bit of brisket and the 2 sides that I couldn't resist trying to save for my next meal) and thought the meat was smokey, jiving and so scrumptious...and this is coming from someone who normally doesn't eat so much meat like myself! Overall, I really like that Theo seems passionate about making the food that he serves. Plus, it doesn't hurt that this bbq type of food tastes so good..and is so rare to find ABQ, too.

    Note: Nomad BBQ is no longer at the Rio Grande Blvd sticks 'n bricks location if you, like me…read morebefore an extended road trip, last dealt with him there. Theo's operating in food truck mode only now. He mentioned being at the yellow & blue HappyDaze Cannabis building across from the Maverik gas station on Jefferson St NE at junction of I-25 and Jefferson. I'm unsure of what days & hours. Give him a call to get the "who, what, when, where, why, & how" for his location on any given day. However, I must say that Nomad BBQ is still providing *excellent* Texas style BBQ of exceptional tastiness at very economical prices, given the high quality of the food. If you see their truck anywhere around town, stop in, chow down, and smile ... smile ... smile ... at all the wondrous gustatorial nirvana you've just indulged in. Hands down, killer good BBQ! Everything I said in my previous review still stands. Of special note, besides the extremely good food, is the gregarious, outgoing, and hyper friendly personality that positively shines out of Mr Theo. One of the most convivial food vendors in town. Period!

We arrived shortly after opening so we were seated immediately by a very nice gentleman who also brought us our drinks and then ended up being our waiter. I wish I would have caught his name because he was very friendly and attentive. While waiting for our food he brought us out some complimentary sweet croissants which were delightful. We also ordered the Queso with the ground beef which is always delicious. Our main dishes did take a little longer than usual but when my Monte Cristo arrived it was just as good as always. I have had a lot of Monte Cristo Sandwiches around town and Cheddars has the best one hands down. My sister also enjoyed her Pot Pie. She said it was very comforting, buttery and warm. You can never go wrong with a Pot Pie. Overall service was great and the food was delicious and the prices are still very fair. Restaurant was clean and comfortable. We Always enjoy coming here

I was disappointed by the menu selections that seemed more attractive in theory than in reality. Anyway, despite the long wait, we finally got seated and ordered the famous chocolate cake slide that my best friend swears is the best thing ever. Turns out, he wasn't kidding--the cake is incredibly creamy and rich, and the ice cream makes it the perfect combination of flavors dancing in your mouth. The fried apple pie is a must-try. The Santa Fe spinach dip was my favorite appetizer--it's definitely one of the best dips I've had in a while. Rich in creaminess and cheesiness. As for the entrees, options are limited. We chose the buffalo chicken wraps and the homestyle meatloaf, since they sounded appetizing. Let's just say, while the desserts are top-tier, the rest of the food felt like comforting home-cooked dishes--nothing special that couldn't easily be made at home or ordered elsewhere without the wait. Our waitress was fantastic and made the wait worthwhile with her cheerful attitude and positivity (Brenda). The place overall gave off a cozy, homey vibe. It was clean, and they even have restrooms on-site.
