The medjool dates are now from Pakistan and the increased prices reflect the delivery costs. I spoke with vendor and explained the last time I asked for pistachio cookies , I received walnut cookies. I'm scared of ordering more because of this. He explained to me that he is sure he must have explained they were out and only had walnuts. So I'm apparently unable to explain that I do not like walnuts and surely I thought to ignore his update. Absolutely done with this dishonesty.

So yesterday, March 17, 2024, Susanne and I stopped by Sprouts on Alameda (westside ABQ) for…read morepotatoes & parsley. As we walked past the bakery section, we were astounded to see a rack filled with bread from our favorite local bakery: FANO! There, in all its glory, were bags of Rustic Loaves and other treats! No one at the store could tell us where this treasure trove came from, since we are certain that FANO ceased operation last year. We left with a loaf. When we got back home, we looked up FANO and discovered their website is gone and the phone is "out of service." I called this AM to hear the same announcement. There is no Facebook page. Mystery!? Did Sprouts have a stash of frozen bread in a warehouse all this time? Did the owner or surrogate restart limited operation? There's a date label: "Mar 19 2024" on the bag. Susanne and I each ate a slice and we're still alive! It just doesn't taste as fresh as we would have expected. Can anyone in our YELP community shed light on what's up with FANO Bread Company? Update: I got a very nice reply today from Michael R. telling us that they have "had a topsy-turvy year" and are still working to get the company on track. Happily, you can still get your favorite FANO Bread at Sprouts! BTW, the label still has the address and phone number and address from forever: 505-884-5555 4605 McLeod Rd NE Albuquerque, NM 87109

I found out about this place from the good reviews on Yelp, and it was also the only place that actually answered the phone for me. I called 5 places and this place was the only one that had any kind of customer service. When I walked in, I was greeted by the friendly cashier and two other guys that seemed like they owned the place. The customer service was so good, they made recommendations, gave me generous samples and wanted to make sure I was happy with the purchase I made. The jerky is really good, I loved the Christmas one the best, but they were all good!

This store has a lot, and I believe if not everything, most of the items are made in New Mexico. The setup made this place like a playground for my husband. We left with 4 hot sauces and 2 salsas, after he was able to try a wide array of sauces to determine what he liked best. Each was arranged by heat level, making it easy to explore, even for me who doesn't like spice that much. There were so many unique blends and brands, it was an experience! It was so friendly and almost immersive inside. Natalie helped us, and she was amazing! She and my husband dove into hot sauce talk and were still at it up until the time we left. It was fun to watch the joy in both of them over the topic. The look matches the passion, small but thoughtfully arranged. It's like a hot sauce boutique. I'm sure if we lived in town, it would be a place we frequent.

Monaco Market has unmistakable "bodega" soul, and has somehow managed to bottle the feeling of…read morestepping into another country--several countries, in fact--without ever leaving the city limits. It proudly carries what can only be described as the United Nations of snacks. These are the treats your trendy teenagers have been "Tik-Tok-ing" into viral fame--the kind with packaging that compels them to snap that selfie and send it out into the ether in a nanosecond. The shelves read like a passport: confections from Lebanon, Dubai, China, South Korea, Taiwan, and beyond. Exotic chocolates that make domestic candy seem shy by comparison. Chips in flavors you didn't know were legal. And then there's the drink selection--a kaleidoscope of juices, sodas, and energy drinks adorned with beloved anime characters and designs that blur the line between beverage and collectible. It's less of a cooler and more of a museum exhibit, except here you're encouraged--no, expected--to participate. The true heart of the place, however, is the gentleman behind the counter. His zeal is palpable. He's not merely ringing up purchases; he's hosting an adventure. His warmth and enthusiasm make you feel less like a customer and more like a co-conspirator in discovering something wonderful. Human connection at it's finest. Yes, the prices lean toward the premium side, but that feels less like indulgence and more like reality--importing the world isn't cheap, and tariffs are no respecter of snack-based diplomacy. What you're really paying for is access: access to flavors, cultures, and moments that would otherwise require a boarding pass. And Monaco Market doesn't stop at snacks. It's also a treasure chest of viral odds and ends--shirts, gifts, toys, and knick-knacks that feel handpicked for people who appreciate the joy of novelty. Every shelf feels intentional, like a curated rebellion against the ordinary. And rumor has it a ramen bar is on the horizon, promising a quick nosh for those who want something warm to accompany their global snack pilgrimage. Bottom line: Monaco Market is pure FUN. It's a place where curiosity is rewarded, where novelty is celebrated, and where you're reminded that sometimes the smallest treats carry the biggest sense of wonder. Albuquerque is lucky to have it--and I suspect many of us will be back, if only to prove to our teenagers that we, too, know what's cool... eventually.
