    Chicharrone breakfast burrito with Christmas
    Chrisy J.

    Finally made it here after years of hearing about it. Service was fast and friendly with plenty of tables to sit with simple decor. I ordered a breakfast chicharron burrito, plus an eclair and cookie to share with my sisters. The eclair was delicious, the cookie seemed stale. I got Christmas on my burrito. The chile was nice and hot and flavorful. To my liking, the chicharrones were good but were way too big of pieces and made it hard to chew. Would've been much better if they were smaller.

    Best restaurant in Albuquerque and possibly the South West. Their Green Chili Cheeseburger is so massive and delicious. The burritos are massive as well. The Green Chili they use is tasty.

    They have the very best teacher burritos around! The food is reasonably priced, the service is always prompt in the restaurant is nice and clean! A must if you're looking for authentic New Mexican cuisine!

    Steak lunch burrito

    Everything about this place is AMAZING! It's a big easy access when you walk in pretty straight forward. Call in orders on one side and the counter the place your order on the other side. The stuff was very polite and super prompt. Inside wasn't loud it smelled of wonderful food was very clean. Every single thing looked delicious. I got a steak lunch burrito with Christmas. The chile was incredible perfect flavor not too hot but perfect! This is probably the best place in town I'm shocked they don't have more reviews.

    My first time stopping here to get chicharron burrito And a carne adovada burrito. They Were very pricey for a burrito. I suggest eating it at the restaurant if you can. Otherwise. It will be soggy mess. For the price alone I probably will not be back.

    Chicharone with Red
    Maria G.

    Bring your appetite. This burrito was huge. The inside is simple and clean. I picked chicharones with red. The chicharones were super meaty and had a wonderful chew. The tortilla was also perfect. It had enough pliability to hold everything in without ripping or dripping. They also have a little coffee bar connect that I picked up a horchata from. It was refreshing and the service was great. I can't wait to try more from this spot!

    Philly Cheesesteak ($13), 1/4 pound Chicharron ($8), Burrito ($10)
    Wendi K.

    My wonderful mom brought back takeout from this spot. Hands down best chicharron ($8 for a quarter pound) I have ever had. Crispy, flavorful, totally addictive. We also tried the Philly Cheesesteak ($13) and the Chicharron Burrito ($10). Hearty, filling, and amazing. I am so glad this place exists :)

    Excellent food! Clean tables. Friendly staff. Crowded, which is a good sign. Had best breakfast burritos well balanced with egg and meat and cheese, it was filled full with potato as the filler. Love the tortilla around it. Thin and tasty! Also had one of the best apple fritters I've ever had for $2.70. Was heavy and actually had apples in it. Have had way too many fritters in other places where the apples are hardly there. It was hefty in weight! Delicious. The beef jerky was wonderful, and the chicharrones came out warm, fresh, and delicious! Highly recommend!

    Sausage and green Chile breakfast burrito
    Christine C.

    Went to NM Jerky Company for Brunch this morning before hitting the growers market. The food came out fairly fast. Charles Chavez had the sausage breakfast burrito with green chile and I had the taco burger with red chile and chile cheese fries. Both had amazing flavors. The burrito was worth two meals and was worth the price. The chile had a little heat to it. The taco burger will give me another meal as well. The red Chile was not spicy but the flavor was so good. We were able to find a seat, but the next time we may just may a phone call and pick up the food to go.

    The number Ethan told me to text

    I used to love NM Beef Jerky Co. They were my go to whenever I was near Downtown. But last week, I picked up my order and after getting back to work, I realized my order did not match what it said on my receipt and what was printed on the bag ticket. I called to ask for a refund and spoke to manager Ethan, who also took my order over the phone. Ethan agreed to give me a refund for me getting the wrong food (after demanding I text him a photo of my meal, which I did...) but I never got a refund. Instead, I was double charged for my food, which I could not eat because it was not as I ordered. I guess I will have to dispute the original charge that should have been refunded and the extra charge with my bank, because all Ethan did was lie to me and treat me like a fool. I love the food here but poor management can lead a place to go downhill fast. I will never be returning and urge everyone to think twice before visiting because this establishment does not value its customers, their time, or their money. Very disappointing.

    Philly cheese steak sandwich

    Tried this place 3 times. First a chicharron burrito. Too much gushy un rendered fat. Second: same Third: tried a Philly. Not like the ones I've enjoyed, never even saw the onions and the bell peppers were undercooked. Not cheesy. The meat was tough. I am surprised because so many people love this place. The atmosphere is great and the people there are great.

    Last I knew of this place it was a little local restaurant and it closed and reopen as nm beef jerky co. I thought it was just jerky until I yelped it while looking for places to eat in the area. I was shocked at the full menu and superior reviews it had so we had to stop in. It's super crowded but very fast. You order at the counter and either sit in the restaurant or take it to go. We opted to try the chicharron burrito smothered xmas and steak and onion breakfast plate. Everything was delicious! The burrito is so massive I couldn't even eat half of it! The chicharrones were perfect with a little fat and a lot of meat. The place is very clean too. There's a little coffee/pastry place inside that has delicious lemonade and massive apple fritters too!

    El Patio De Albuquerque - Chips and salsa were fair. $4.00 for a very small serving of salsa. I would not recommend the salsa and chips for the money you are paying.

We had the guacamole and salsa, I recommend mixing them together, they pair surprisingly well. A little pricey at $9.60 for the plate. For entrees, we had the green chile chicken enchiladas and carne adovada Christmas style. The latter is one of the most distinct and delicious regional dishes I've had. All entrees had really nice pairings with pinto beans, potato hash, and freshly cooked sopapillas.

We stuck a few quarters into the meter that couldn't be read, and we walked into the restaurant. We were greeted at the door and given several options for seating including outdoor seating. We took a table in the entry way, not in the main restaurant. It was a quaint spot overlooking the patio section out front of the restaurant. A server met us, took our drink order, and we placed a few appetizer orders. We got some chile con queso, and the chicharron. They initially brought out the queso in two small plastic to-go containers. I was not very thrilled with that. Then, when we polished them off, they brought out some more in a small serving dish. Why we didn't get the dish in the first place is beyond me. The queso was good, but I didn't think much of the chicharron. My husband like it though. The server did an excellent job keeping our drinks filled. We placed our order, and it wasn't too long that our orders came out. I got the combination plate, red sauce, ground beef taco. My husband thought he ordered the enchilada plate, but the chile relleno plate came out instead. He told them that was fine. The ground beef taco was so delicious. The chile relleno was pretty good, and the cheese enchiladas were okay, even though it was like they were barely there. The pinto beans, not refried beans, were also enjoyed. What really set them apart was their papas - those potatoes were soft and super flavorful. Their red sauce was spicy and flavorful. The server brought out two fresh and hot sopapillas. We poured honey on those things bite by bite. I honestly think those were the best sopapillas I've had. I also used the restroom before we left. It might need a little updating, but it was certainly clean.

We ate from the border crossing past El Paso all the way to Taos, Santa Fe, and Albuquerque. And I'm sure we missed a ton of great places, but that being said, the places we did try... yikes! We rolled the dice on this place. At first I was like, "Great, another place that is going to give us a premade tortilla and some bland combination of stuff in the tortilla..." Now look... this is not a Michelin-starred place, nor is it Michelin-recommended. It's not going to be a spiritual experience. It's not going to make you think differently about a taco, an enchilada, or anything else on their massive menu. But this place has heart, soul, and there's a lot of hustle. The tortillas are made fresh, right there behind the counter (i.e., you can literally watch them crank them out), and that makes a ton of difference. The food is honest, without pretense: fast and affordable. The ambiance is equally without pretense -- college kids, working-class folks, families, academics... The food was simple, spartan, and honest. No frills. Not extraordinary, but above average for the context. There is an ASTOUNDING amount of variety on the menu, and the combinations are infinite. I very much enjoyed my meal, I very much enjoyed the people-watching, and I very much enjoyed the experience. This was perhaps the best meal I had in New Mexico -- the cheapest, and the most memorable. If this place was a beer, it would be one of those local lager/pilsners that is as cheap as a Pabst/Coors/Miller but punches up way past the pretentious IPA scene. Thanks Frontier.

Next, the entry door is no longer facing the street. It is on the north wall of the building off the entry to the parking lot. The entrance sign is just sharpie or pen on paper and very faded. Once inside this small converted residence there are two dining rooms. The first was full but there was open seating in the second. There isn't a lot on the walls so the room echoes your conversation to everyone in the room. A bit more art on the walls and the diner vibe would really make itself known. The food. The NYT recently put Mary and Tito's in their 41 best list in the US so I had very high expectations. Usually my wife and I order a single item and share the meal. This time we ordered knowing we'd have take home leftovers. I ordered the Mexican Turnover Combination with beef. This is a pastry crust folded over a combination of ground beef, rice and beans. I ordered the red chile with this. My wife ordered the cheese enchiladas with green chile, rice and beans. This came with a lot of chopped green chile, not a sauce. Overall it was ok, but the beans and chopped chile put down so much liquid it rapidly became a soggy texture less mess. My turnover was tasty and the red chile also ok but not up to the rave reviews I've heard. At this time, I'd rate it the third best red I've had in NM. (See my review for La Cocina in Espanola for my pick for best Red chile in NM- so far anyway ) Overall, I'm glad we finally got the opportunity to dine at this local institution. When we do give it another try, I'm going to follow the recommendation for chicarones and pork adovado. Actual rating 3.5 stars.

It's a tiny restaurant that's very popular, so it builds up. Customers started accumulating about ten minutes before opening, and by the time the door opened, there were more than could be seated. The rest had to wait extra long because of course everyone else had just started. Signature dish here is carne adovada, which you can get in an enchilada, tostada, etc, or plain with red or green sauce on top. Shredded meat, pretty tasty, and unusually the beans were better than the rice. I also had a tamale, decently moist, no husk. This is a good local food place, but didn't strike me as fabulous.
