I then waited another 10 minutes along with everyone else before someone finally came from the back with takeout orders and checked me out. Fifteen minutes total just to purchase two items. The lack of service is absolutely ridiculous. The restaurant was not that busy. Everyone waiting was complaining about how much they dislike the takeout process, yet they keep coming back because it's one of the only options around. This is exactly why we stopped eating here in the first place. I thought running in for seasoning would be quick, but clearly I was wrong! So frustrating that this place cannot get it right.

Terrible service A highly unprofessional staff member…read moreBartender Angelica at your Los Lunas location on October 24, 2025. At approximately 6:50 PM on 10/24/25, I was served a draft beer that tasted noticeably off, suggesting a potential issue with the lines or the product itself. When I politely brought this product quality concern to the attention of the bartender (a woman with colored eye shadow, braids in her long pony tail and a bad attitude she reacted immediately with extreme rudeness and abruptness, raising her voice and snapping back at my comment. Without any attempt to address the product or offer a solution, she escalated the situation. She then stated that the bar was "hers" and immediately demanded that I leave the bar, effectively kicking me out of the bar. Once again, it was a terrible and unprofessional way to handle any customer service situation.

Another great meal at Boxcar, again with the Santa Fe Foodies. All nine of us enjoyed the meals. We…read morewent for Taco Tuesday; you can get $2 beef tacos, which many members did and said were very good. However, I decided to go with an appetizer I've never tried, the Bang Bang Shrimp, which was dynamite! You get four very large, crispy shrimp in a sweet-and-spicy sauce, though I didn't find it spicy, if that's a concern for some. The sauce was very tasty; the shrimp had great flavor, were plump and tender, and they were indeed crispy. This went very well with the arugula under the shrimp. I'd order this again in a second. I then had two tacos à la carte: Baja Fish beer-battered cod and Carnitas. Both were very large and excellent. The pork on the Carnitas was indeed crispy as it should be, and the cod was perfectly fried and delicious. My wife had the Asian Tuna Noodle Crunch Bowl: seared tuna, lo mein noodles. The dressing was superb; the Tuna was perfectly seared raw, and all the items that came with the salad (mango, red cabbage, daikon radish sprouts, kale crunch, edamame, cilantro, peanuts, toasted sesame) made for a lovely and delicious meal. Our server, Tony, did a fantastic job of keeping us all happy. My only 'complaint' was that Boxcar doesn't serve their amazing Brussels sprouts, or at least not all the time. Not on the menu. I told Tony and the manager how much I love them and was told it may come back as a special from time to time. Man, the Boxcar Brussels sprouts are amazing! Boxcar has very, very good food, and I would usually avoid what appears to be a 'sports bar,' but James Beard Foundation-recognized Chef Eric Stumpf will please the foodies every time. What is nice is that Boxcar has several seating areas, so if you're into food and not the 'bar scene,' they can seat you in an area that is quiet.

This spot has a laid-back, hipster vibe and feels like a real local hangout. They also got a pool…read moretable and a dog-friendly outdoor patio. For drinks they have everything from house taps and cocktails to non-alcoholic options, including mocktails. They also make their own house infusions like beet vodka, coffee liqueur, and cucumber gin, which I thought was interesting. The service was friendly although it was busy so I wouldn't say they were fully attentive. Differential Brewing does seem like a chill spot to grab a drink and hang out with friends. My only issue was that the bathrooms were not clearly labeled and the heavy metal playlist was not my cup of tea. Still, if you are into unique drinks and a casual local scene, this is a good spot for that.

Prices are usually reasonable but I was disappointed to be charged $8.00 for a Dos Equis draft beer. My complaint was with the service. The jerk bartender with the goofy haircut had a hateful attitude. He asked me for my order as if I were an inconvenience. I didn't noticed but they were out of Guinness. When I ordered it, he snapped back at me, "We're out of Guinness.", again with a hateful attitude. In an effort to lighten the mood, I replied, "Oh, that's why you have a plastic cup over the beer tap handle." He slowly nodded his head as if to say, no shit Sherlock. At that point, I almost got up and left due his crappy attitude and clueless customer service skills. How this guy ever got a job here as a bartender is beyond me. A few minutes later, he literally tossed a drink menu in front of me. I was stunned. Reluctantly, I ordered a Dos Equis. He nodded his head, brought me Mr beer and walked away without saying a word. Crappy attitude and horrendous customer service! Ten minutes later, he tosses a food menu in front of me. I never asked for one and he came across as if to say, order some food! Screw that! $20.00 for nachos? I don't think so. Get a clue Sandia. I drank most of my beer, asked for my bill, didn't leave a tip (duh!), and walked out. I doubt I'll ever go back unless Sandia fires that scumbag bartender. He's terrible!

The server said they were going through a shift change when our order took over 30 minutes to arrive. But, that did not explain the long waits to be seated, to get out waters, to have our orders taken and to pay the bill. The nachos were great. Loaded with tons of meat, cheese and veggies. They were just the right amount and just the right level of spice. The salad was a salad. The tuna melt tasted like straight pickle juice. We are assuming this wasn't the normal recipe and that something must have gone wrong in the kitchen because most people couldn't eat this. We sure couldn't.

The drink came pretty timely but no napkin or coaster to put under glass. I mention this because I saw everyone else was served a drink like that. I then received my food BUT... still no silverware. I finished eating and the bus boy came by quickly to take away plate. No mention to me if I wanted to take it to go.... just took it away. I was then brought the check. Didn't ask if I wanted dessert which I did. I then mentioned it and the waitress crumpled the bill. Then brought dessert. The interaction with the employees made me feel uncomfortable and unwanted in the establishment. The food was decent. Not the best but better than average food. The ambience of the place was good.

Wildly different while still being so freaking amazing. There's a certain spice or something that they use in the Birria that hits just right. That's the only true way I can explain it. I can't tell if the 'consume' is chili or what from here? At Los Pookies it seems to be like a broth, but here is a thicker & spicier sauce which compliments the tacos so well. (please let me know!). It gets quite busy in here especially with it being setup as more of a sports bar, with the TV's and such. They have a shaded patio which I believe also may have a TV* (don't quote me on this part) . All the servers I have had have shown great hospitality. I will continue to return. -- Follow up before I post.. Last time I was here and it was really busy (like 30 min wait busy cuz of whatever game), I was feeling dizzy and they gave me water and a chair & made sure I was okay.. I feel especially this day and age is not something you see ever or expect. So thank you.

The asada was tender and good but the red sauce they make and put on top was not very good. Can't say I'll be rushing back anytime soon. Especially for the cost. But is a cool place to hang out at the bar for a drink.
