    We had brunch here today and had a great experience!…read more Before going, I called to ask about their gluten-free options. The woman who answered the phone was friendly and knowledgeable. She explained that they have a dedicated fryer for their chicken wings and fries, offer gluten-free hamburger buns, and other gluten-free options. That gave me the confidence to give them a try. When we arrived, we grabbed a table on the patio and then ordered. We shared the loaded breakfast fries (without the chile since it isn't gluten-free), and they were delicious. I ordered the Greek salad with grilled chicken, which was fresh and flavorful. My gluten-free daughter had the barbecue chicken wings and fries, and my gluten-free son ordered the huevos rancheros without the chile. My husband had the regular huevos rancheros. The server who took our order seemed to be new, but another woman, possibly the owner or manager, was extremely friendly, answered all of our questions. As someone with celiac disease, that level of knowledge and willingness to answer questions means a lot. Everything we ordered was delicious. We'll definitely be back!

No Competition occupies the kitchen spaces at the newly renovated Sandia Bar. To our embarrassment and amazement, we stumbled across it - look for signs to the Sandia Bar at the corner of W. Ella and Corrales Road. Are we glad we did. Order and pick up at the outdoor counter adjacent to the parking lot. No seating in the actual restaurant, but you are more than welcome to go into the Sanda Bar or use one of their numerous outdoor tables. The friendly staff at the bar are used to this arrangement. While you are there, have a drink in the Sandia Bar and look at what they have done to make what was once the local "biker bar" hangout into an upscale drinking emporium. And best of all, this is our new "best in New Mexico" burger joint. Simply the best. We also tried out the Mahi Mahi fish tacos and fish and chips. Highly recommended and best of all, its in our backyard. Check out our YouTube video report. https://youtu.be/2Z0Xkdf05rw?si=1t5zHP29uwkPia_H

    Look, you're going to die someday…read more That day will come just a bit sooner if you eat regularly at Big Boss Hotlinks, but oh what a life you will have lived until then! I tried this truck for the first time today, and my doors are blown off and my socks have been knocked off! The lady at the window was super friendly, and not in a fake, awkward way, but in a genuine, "I love everyone" sort of way. Anyway, I ordered 'The Duke' special, which is a lot of stuff I like: beef, hotlinks, caramelized onions, cheese, and green chile on a hoagie roll. She took my money, and I waited, thinking this was probably a mistake. I hadn't heard much about the place, but it seemed like with all those components, some of the weaker ones would bring down the entire sandwich. Boy was I wrong. The beef was beautifully cooked, with just a bit of pink showing, the hotlinks were smokey and delicious, the onions were soft and plentiful, the green chile had heat, and the cheese tied it all together into a beautiful gooey mess on a soft and inviting roll. I needed the extra fork she provided, as I 'got nasty' with it, caring less and less about what proper eating etiquette is, and more and more about getting it into my mouth as soon as possible. I'm not going to lie to you - this is not health food. Not even close. In fact, there really isn't anything I'd consider 'healthy' on the entire menu. If you're looking for something green, you've come to the wrong place. This food truck's menu is a carnivore's paradise, and it's going to cause long-term problems, but you know what? I live in the short term. It's greasy and brown, and just amazing. This would be the ultimate hangover food if I were hung over, which might just be the best compliment I can give the place. I'll definitely return.

    We tried Big Boss Hotlinks at the Winrock Fest this weekend. The smell was definitely calling us!…read moreIt was a nice evening with plenty of people to keep them busy. The order was out quick, despite the number of people, so they were ready to get things expedited. We ordered the Green Chile Cheeseburger with hot green chile, grilled onions, and a side of crinkle fries. One of the burgers was missing a chunk of the patty. The other burger had a good sized patty. We were quite hungry so we went right in. However, the first bite was disappointing with no flavor. We were waiting for the hot in the green chile, but it never landed. And the grilled onions were quite sparse, also not giving it much more flavor. The crinkle fries were crispy and had some salt. But they did not redeem the meal. Nevertheless, the combo was quite filling. Overall, the food never met the smell that attracted us to this truck or the high cost, leaving us with a full belly but no flavor to speak of.

    THE biggest hidden gem in Albuquerque. Get a reservation, go with the family, and enjoy yourself…read more The food is fresh, and the menu even tells you where it is sourced from. To take it one step farther, you can even walk in the gardens and see where some of your food is grown. Importantly, the food is insanely tasty. I split the salmon and barramundi, both of which were cooked to perfection and paired with FRESH sides. I could eat here every day of my life. The place is cute, mostly outdoor seating with a great view for sunset. Lots of fairy lights, adobe infrastructure - very ABQ. The menu rotates seasonally, but I am confident there is never a bad dish. Notably, they only serve beer and wine, no cocktails. Still, a great place for a night out, if a bit expensive.

The weather permitted use to sit outside in the comforting blanket of mild sun shine. Service was slow and it took some time for someone to initially come to our table. I heard a few tables being offered to tour the area where some of the plants were being grown which was nice. That option was not extended to our table. The menu had a few vegetarian options that looked promising. I ordered barramundi and my wife ordered cavatelli which is a type of pasta. Complementary bread was brought out that tasted good but had too much salt on the crust. I didn't know but eventually found out that barramundi is a type of Asian sea bass. It was plated with a good amount of vegetables, but I found it to be bot a flavorful as I would have liked. I tasted the cavatelli and was not impressed either by the flavors. The drink section of the menu is a little confusing and we ended up with a grapefruit rosemary kombucha. The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing but I think the entrees were a bit over priced for what we received.

We were cheerfully greeted by the Hostess at the counter who presented us with menus and stated she would be happy to take our order when we were ready also stating, "I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. We ordered a basket of Fried Pickle Slices with a seasoned dip for an appetizer. I ordered a Gucci Sandwich with Fresh Fruit as my Side. My guest ordered a Reuben Sandwich with Macaroni Salad as his Side. We ordered two Self Serve Beverages, for which we were given two drink glasses. The Hostess then gave us a total due and I presented her with a credit card to pay. She promptly processed the card, asked me to sign the receipt and presented us with a receipt and table stand with our order number atop. We selected a table, seated ourselves and unloaded our table stand, flatware and napkins. I stayed seated at the table while my guest took our Drink glasses to the beverage center and filled the glasses with our beverages. I selected a Craft Root Beer, while my guest selected Iced Tea with lemon wedges. The Fried Pickle Slices were lighted battered in a delightful seasoned batter before they were fried. They were perfectly cooked and not at all greasy. The dipping sauce was lightly seasoned with the same seasonings as the Pickle slices and blended in a combination of plain yogurt and sour cream. It was a great appetizer. My Gucci Sandwich was sliced turkey breast, crispy fried bacon, green leaf lettuce, sliced tomato and mayonnaise. The sandwich was served on a freshly baked Kaiser Bun that was soft and a perfect complement to the exquisite sandwich. The Fresh Fruit consisted of Orange Wedges, Red Grapes, Strawberry, Sliced Pineapple and Sliced Honeydew Melon. The Reuben Sandwich was generously created with lean corned beef, sauerkraut, melted Swiss cheese, homemade Thousand Island dressing all served on freshly baked marble rye bread. It was served with a side serving of Macaroni Salad. The Ice Tea was freshly brewed and delicious, with a selection of citrus wedges from which to choose. The Craft Root Beer was a refreshing surprise. It was a premium version on tap that featured a rich creamy flavor and creamy foam. It was very reminiscent of the Root Beer that we made at home in the 50's and 60's. The overall experience was epic and I highly recommend this local treasure! Chances are you may run into me when you visit as I plan to introduce many of my "Foodie friends" to this delightful discovery. We are very blessed in North East Albuquerque!

The soup was tasty, and the sandwich was pretty good- a little too much turkey for my taste. My husband had the mushroom peppercorn steak. It was cooked well, and he enjoyed the peppercorn sauce. One person had the steak salad. She said it was good, not great. The salad was served with large leaves of lettuce (she had to cut them up) and steak. She mentioned that she wished there was a little more to the salad- it was just the lettuce and steak. The last person in our party had the green chile chicken pasta. She liked it. Overall, our experience was good. I would say Tula's is fair. It's nothing to write home about, but it wasn't bad.

They do have a very nice patio but I was eating inside in lieu of out in the 95 degree heat and flies. I mentioned it to my very sweet server and she got me a battery fan to put on my table to shoo flies! (See pic) I ordered their wonderful Reuben w Caesar side and ate it with the fan shooing the flies while I ate inside. Seriously!! I did let her know the homemade croutons were stale and tough and not very edible. Service, food and drinks here are always very good and polite. I'll be back but not when the outside summer flies are taking over.

The lunch menu is smaller but just right. He had the spaghetti with meat sauce and Italian sausage. The sausage was spicy. He loved it. I am a light weight so I didn't eat much of it. I had the manicotti with meat sauce. It was delicious. The cheese inside was creamy and just right. We also had zucchini to start. The breading was light and flavorful. And their bread and dipping was delicious too. Our server was very good. The restaurant was clean and tastefully done. Definitely worth the trip.

We ordered the Alfredo with broccoli which was the only edible thing we got. But my wife who loves alfredo didn't eat most of it. The bacon burger was overcooked and dried out and somehow it had shifted so the bread bacon and burger were all over the container. The fries were flabby and the fried zuchinni sticks tasted frozen or at least made with a commercial batter. I reheated the fries and zuchini in the air fryer and they were still gross. I hate food wasted but it all went in the compost. I'll give it one star because we got several containers of parmesan cheese and marinara. Never again. Edit 8/23 The restaurant reached out to me to explain the burger issue and make good on it. Classy move. Bumping up my review. You don't see that kind of prid in your product much anymore.
