i absolutely loveee this place food is incredible ,delicious and so heavenly!!…read more The service is amazing too you don't have to feel embarrassed about not being bilingual they speak English and Spanish there. They have TVs playing either shows or music. I love how peaceful it is in there and how much hard work they put into making their food. Most places you see the people messing around talking the whole time, but they are locked in on making your food and getting things done. Me, my boyfriend and friends i recommend this place to absolutely loveee this place and will forever keep coming for more food !!

Great place, just stingy. No addressed closing time and rude about it. Charged for plastic forks.read more

Yummy and tasty food from a small family business worthy of ABQ's local support. Theo the owner…read moredoes the bbq/smoking of the meat himself. 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.

Talk about a fabulous little hole in the wall Place? Well,…read morethis is it. The Smoked BBQ chicken breast was incredible. Moist and juicy! The shredded beef brisket on a tasty roll was out of this world. The beef was lean and the portion was huge. The service was great at the take out window. We will be back soon.

Usually parked at 90th and Central on Fridays around 3 pm. Absolutely fantastic food and staff!…read more Got the big boi burger which I'll venture to say is one of the best burgers I've had.

I had high hopes of this place after hearing it was the best Cajun food in the city. (Not that this…read moreis hard to do in a city like Albuquerque, but i did work for 5 years at Copeland's and just got back from a trip to NOLA.) And yes, the food was delicious, but good lord, I haven't had this bad of service since I can remember. I think the younger girls working were related to the woman cooking, but I implore you... take The Girl in the Pink Shirt off of the register. I asked if the food truck was still open and she just stared at me. I asked if the shrimp platter included fries and she just sort of rolled her eyes upward and barely answered. I paid and she just left the register. I waited a minute or two and had to get her attention to ask whether I should return to pick it up, if I should get a number placard, etc. And on top of that, she was consistently you visibly arguing with the others in the truck every time I was up there. Like, girl. You are in a public-facing position of service. Act like it or don't do it. Furthermore, I paid for my food at 6:37pm. (I literally checked my credit card.) By 7:18, when I went to check on the status of my order, I was told by the older woman/owner she "had the fries ready and was fixin' to drop the shrimp." Why it took 41 minutes to drop some fried shrimp is beyond me, but at 7:21 I finally had my food after going up to the window two more times to inquire, while juggling a grumpy two year old in my car because all my friends had cashed out and already left. Needless to say, I won't be back for a $20 dish that took almost an hour to make on a random Tuesday night, though I do hope they spend some time adjusting their systems and working to improve guest satisfaction because they could easily corner the market on Cajun food in Albuquerque.

Great Cajun food for ABQ. Batter for fried food is seasoned and flavorful. Service is great. Owners…read moreare nice and friendly!

I wanted to like this place more. We ordered the fish tacos and the green chile cheese fries…read more The tacos didn't have enough fish. There was more pico and garnish than anything else. The fish had a good flavor but it was a very small piece of it. The fries' queso was melted and it stuck that way. The fries did not have cheese. The cheese was stuck on the top. And you had to rip it to get a bite of it with the fries. The fries were a little too toasted ended up being pretty bitter. $35 for this was not ideal.

There are taco spots you visit... and then there are taco spots that tell a story the moment you…read morewalk in. Rio Tacos Co. falls squarely in the second category. It starts with the tortillas--soft, warm, clearly made with intention. Not just a vehicle for the filling, but part of the experience. The tacos are best ordered three at a time. . The birria arrives rich and inviting, the kind that doesn't just sit on the plate--it pulls you in. The barbacoa follows with its own quiet confidence--tender, seasoned just right, no need to overcomplicate something that's already this good. And then there's the grilled chicken adobada--bright, slightly smoky, with that perfect balance of spice and citrus that keeps you going back for "just one more bite"... multiple times. Everything feels fresh. Thoughtful. Handcrafted in a way that doesn't need to announce itself--it just shows up on the plate. The Horchata is Rio Tacos Co. isn't trying to reinvent tacos. It's doing something better--reminding you how good they're supposed to be.
