While browsing I mentioned that I try to limit my salt intake (and yes, I am in a jerky place). The owner was able to suggest her lemon pepper flavor. I gave it a try and loved it! Now I can eat jerky without guilt. I should add that you can make special flavor requests.

I have bought meat there since I moved here in 2008. I had tried a few others places and the…read morequality of meat was not nearly as good as Rio Rancho Meats. They are all so kind and patient.

I go there to get dog bones. My dog loves them. This is a very old time meat market that is small…read more You can actually talk to the butcher, tell them exactly what you want and get it cut for you. They have beef, menudo and other meats. They also have freezers in the interior where you can get the dog bones already cut. Highly recommend. Open Monday through Saturday from 8 am-6 pm. Closed Sunday and Monday. 2113 Southern Blvd., Rio Rancho NM 87124. Phone is 505-891-9540. Well worth the trip.

I'm honestly shocked at how well stocked this Westside location is compared to the East side…read morelocation. I came in to kill time before a medical procedure and I found so many of my favorite items in different flavors I haven't seen at the location by my house. I grabbed some new flavors in the Aqua de Kefir (coco mint is fantastic) and some super fun honey mama bars. The workers are also nice and I highly recommend taking the time to join their rewards program.

There were a few cases of silver/turquoise, a large offering of cookware including copper and cast iron. Books on both local recipes and local trails and hiking. This place had a definite New Mexico feel about it. It's a great little shop, unfortunately a little out of the way. This is a target destination, but worth the drive.

This is my second time at Mouse Hole, and the cheese is always delish! (Of course!)…read more The Cheese my Cherry Pie sandwich was so so good, as was my husbands sandwich with turkey and chile. Prepare to wait awhile if you come during peak times. The shop is small, and the set up doesn't allow for much maneuvering inside. Maybe in the future they can relocate to a shop with a better set up? Our cheese monger in Houston had several lanes to split up the "I'm here to taste cheeses" folk from the "I'm here to order a meal". That sort of method could greatly increase the speed of the waiting in line. Just something to think about if they do end up moving to a larger space in the future!

Mouse Hole is such an excellent addition to Albuquerque's community! It provides a very friendly,…read morewelcoming place for friends and family to grab deliciously food and drink in a quiet and relaxing space. We were fortunate to join as a family over the holidays, and we enjoyed an excellent signature charcuterie board and split a Pavo sp? Sandwich 4 ways. We added the Wagyu beef to the board for some more protein. Everything was excellent! I'd only done take out here before, but dine in was terrific. While deciding on our order, we were treated to several other cheese tastes that were also so tasty. I highly recommend and will be a frequent flyer here.

I also had a taste of the aside torta my girlfriend had and it was really good. Everyone here has always been super nice.

Excellent market, grocery store, restaurant and take-out food all-in-one. We highly recommend it!…read more This is our favorite Mexican grocery store and restaurant right here in Rio Rancho, they have excellent supplies of everything that need to make everything from scratch, and they even have frozen items from fresh roasted green chilies that they roast out in front of the store fresh from the farm and as they sell the fresh roasted green chilies they also are bagging and freezing some for future use; to commercially frozen discos that we buy for our empanadas to other hard to find frozen exotic specialties. Walk all the way into the back and you'll see the huge variety of different meat cuts in the butcher shop. Then turn right and you will see the restaurant section with a huge menu of Mexican favorites, with tables that you can sit and eat at right there or you can get all of it for take-out and enjoy at home, its our favorite take-out because its yummy and the portions are supremely satisfying. They entire fresh hand made tortillas every day, no preservatives so this is like grandma-made tortillas that are so silky soft and yummy. Available pre-bagged and as the side tortillas for the fresh cooked food plates. The staff is friendly, well informed and helpful; the parking lot is gigantic (its in the strip mall that runs along Southern starting at Unser so it has infinite parking spaces). Highly recommended, give them a try!

The highest quality and authentic New Mexican chili shop. I learned about this shop via my 1993…read moretamales book, they listed this shop and Los Chileros as two sources. Chile shop carries Los Chileros and so does five and dime. Los Chileros is a very authentic New Mexican brand of chili products and seasonings, they sell to almost every major New Mexican restaurant. Five and dime uses Los Chileros chili powder for their famous frito pie. It's a very complex chili. The Chile shop's brand of chili powder is so amazing too I'm thankful I bought the 1 lb bag of spice because I made beef adovada at home with that spice and oh my gosh, it literally tastes like I'm in New Mexico and boy is it hot. Very simple store with only new Mexico's best. Kind and helpful staff, very cool store for sure. My only regret is that I didn't stock up enough. Well I guess that's incentive for me to go back to Santa Fe!!

I live in Virginia and we order everything from their website. The chili powders/pods from this…read morecompany are second to none. The website has a dated feel to it but I feel that's because they focus on the product, not the bells and whistles. We even visited the physical store in Santa Fe on a road trip. It has to be good if you're willing to drive 1800 miles to be there in person. It was almost a pilgrimage. The cherry on top? My 91-year-old Hispanic mother-in-law gets all her chilis here. If that's not a ringing endorsement, nothing is.
