Immediately when we walked into Craig's we were met with, a welcome greeting! I asked if they hand battered their chicken and to my surprise and hopes and dreams, they batter their own chicken that's in a marinade, never frozen, and freshly made per order!! Let me tell you I could taste the love and care that was put into the sandwich. The fries are cut freshly! DELICIOUS. The herb dressing was the perfect fit, and she makes that herself as well. Seriously will be thinking about these sandwiches for awhile. Thank you, Craig's for the amazing experience!

What a wonderful place. Carefully crafted sandwiches made with love and a nice slow burn.read more

She has a "10 stars on a 5 star scale" bright shining persona. I absolutely and unequivocally recommend her services & food. Top Line: I had the privilege of an oxtail dinner with side salad prepared by Bobbi at a Father's Day Dinner she catered in Bernalillo. Her crew had the room decorated with simplistic elegance befitting the occasion. Tables settings were in line with that theme: white linen table cloth overlain with a smaller black one, white cloth napkins bound with white & gold bands, gold flatware wrapped inside, a couple large gold chargers at each table, drinks drawn into clear tapered plastic cups with gold band rims. The infused water & a lemonade in dispenser jars were delightful in their complexity. These were no "one note wonders". They were so good that a few return trips to the drinks & dessert table were necessitated. Salad was a medley of bold flavors dancing together. None overwhelming the others. Kalamata olives, fresh shaved parmesan cheese, & chiffonade fresh basil added their punch to the mix. Raspberry vinaigrette was very prominent on berry flavor & rather sweet. So tasty, you know I brought the extra home for later! Only downside was that, since this was a catered in dinner, the salad came in a plastic dish, albeit a heavy duty better than average quality dish, which detracted from the overall elegance of the setting. Braised oxtails were rich in flavor and super fall off the bone tender. Portion was generous. Gravy was good, but ran rather typical in flavor without herbs or diversity of spices for complexity. Body of gravy was fine, not pasty thick or watery thin. Rice was absolutely on the mark!! Just al dente enough to be substantial & ever so slightly chewy. Again, a generous portion on the rice, a layer of lovely carbs out of which rose the seastack of the oxtails. Dessert was a generous slice of chocolate caramel cake with a plentiful covering of frosting to appease the inner sugar fiend. The chocolate cake was dense, moist, and rich-rich-rich! Bobbi also gave me a scoop of her peach cobbler, another of the dessert options. While the cinnamon played its flavor place of prominence with distinct robustness, it was a mellow, balanced, and rounded performance. The cinnaflavor was not sharp or aggressive in its approach, nor overwhelming of the other spices in the mix. The peach chunks taste was somewhat muted under an overall quite sweet flavor. Cakelike crust layer added its own substantiality to the dish Portion sizes were likewise large on the to-go meals & separate oxtail portions I had ordered. In the box I also found a serving of each of the dessert options: the aforementioned chocolate cake and peach cobbler, plus a slice of Bobbi's bright blue version of red velvet cake.

Leading up to the event, she was responsive and patient with all our planning changes and communication.

Every single bite of her food was out of this world, and she was just an incredibly delightful and sweet person. It's typically hard to please a group of 15 women, but Chef Christina knocked it out of the park. I cannot recommend her enough!

We had a wonderful experience with Street Food Institute for our wedding…read more The tasting was fantastic and gave us so much confidence in our menu. Beyond the food itself, I really appreciated their mission of trying to help food truck businesses start up and the work they do within the community, including providing free pizza nights to the surrounding neighborhood. As with most weddings, I didn't get the chance to eat very much during the reception, but our guests consistently told us how much they enjoyed the food. It was a pleasure working with a team that serves both great food and a great purpose.

The El Vado plaza chowdown paseo just keeps delivering on the flavor front…read more Today's hit was a stagger to the left one door upon exiting Heavenly Taste Cakery and landing in the premises of Street Food Sensations, which is right next door to the sweetery shop. Seems this Sensational eatery used to be a bus but lost it's wheels and is now permanently parked in the #2 spot just off Central Ave on the sunny El Vado open air patio/plaza. Bein' a fool for a Cubano sandwich, I succumbed to the moral obligation to order these friendly folks' Spicy Cubano version with parmesan & truffle chips on the side. When I got home & opened the to-go box I was duly impressed at the generous size of the sandwich. The handful of homemade lookin' chips was adequate at filling its corner of the container. From the first bite, the spicy aspect was not inside the sandwich. While well flavored, the Scoville scale on that sammie was on the low end of heat, particularly for the Burqueño crowd. However, the large'ish pepperoncini spiked to the top of the sandwich was the nuclear blast bringin' a little scorched earth policy to the party. We're talking nasal clearing, eye watering, tongue shrivelling, throat chokin' thermal overload. It was so good!! The flat bread on the sammie was chewy & sturdy enough to corral the layers of beef, ham, cheese, and pickles without degradation or deteriorating. The red chile mayo was super sparse, to the point of almost non-existent, and left me wanting for more to jack up the heat a bit. The beef was okay to good, being subtly spiced which let the umami taste shine through. Ham was of the water added variety so offered decent texture & moistness to the filling. But the smoke note in the mix was a soft one, not intense with the acrid attack often found in dry cure hams. Pickles were okay to good. Cheese was likewise okay to good, though not as spicy as I would hope for from a pepper jack cheese. The parmesan & truffle fries were of the sturdy sort. The good news being that they were surprisingly non-greasy in spite of being mottled in a pinto pony pattern of oil saturated patches across their surfaces. My fingers remained delightfully free of napkin dabbing while devouring the chips. The bad news being that they tasted like pretty much standard home made potato chips found everywhere. I didn't pick up the parmesan funkiness or pungency on them at all. So the chips were sort of a 3 star affair & just okay being crunchy, fried, salty enough without overdoing it, and not greasy. With the Cubano & chips being about a 3.5 star situation, it's the friendly cashier lady & cook who make Street Food Sensations a solid 4 star affair. I found them to be friendly and welcoming and fun. So kudos to the staff for being a bright addition to the sunny atmosphere of the El Vado eating scene.

The ambiance was exquisite despite the somewhat loud noise level. The decor and the service were both top notch. Our server Sergio went above and beyond the call of duty. He made our anniversary even more special with a free dessert, a coupon for a free wine flight on our next visit and a hand written list of recommended local attractions and eateries. And then there is the food. The potsticker appetizer was pleasing to both the eye and palate. I had the meatloaf entree which was delicious. And my husband loved the beef bourguignon. And the crème brûlée we had for dessert was delightfully creamy underneath a beautiful gold crust. We will definitely return and highly recommend DH Lescombes to anyone seeking fine but affordable dining in the Albuquerque area.
