ALL of the food tasted like rancid bacon grease and filthy flat top grill! On which they use pancake batter to fry up their "biscuits" for the biscuits and gravy. The content of the burritos are abysmal except for egg. Biscuits and gravy were a sin. Refer back to the biscuit comment. The gravy has some potential but NOT when its made with the tinge of rancid, dirty grease. East Mountain folks, are you ok? She used to serve out of a motorhome, hence the Roach Coach!!

I had the second street brewery Agua Fria Pilsner, which I hadn't had and REALLY liked it. It is also gluten removed!! Woo hoo! My hubby had the La Cumbra Malpais Stout, which he drinks at home anyway. I ordered the Rueben. Now listen, I LOVE a good Rueben and hate a bad one. Don't we all. This Reuben was the BOMB! Trail Rider smokes their own pastrami and holy cow was this sandwich good! It was tasty! The rye was yummy, the sauerkraut was on point and the meat.... OMG. Listen, I ate the entire sandwich!! And the fries were tasty with enough salt that I didn't need ketchup. My hubby had the smash burger and ate most of it. The rest was lovingly placed in a to go box. We also got the Platinum bar - peanut butter, rice crispies and chocolate and my hubby got the mudslide. Which was Oreos and chocolate mouse and whipped cream. Both were yummy. The service, care and scrumptious food will bring me back. Even from the Westside of Albuquerque because it was that good.

Extremely friendly and comfortable cafe and coffee shop with fresh and tasty menu and outstanding coffee. Our party had a cheese plate, quiche, and a couple coffees, including a superb flat white. We stopped after snowshoeing in the Sandias--would be perfect after downhill or cross-country skiing, hiking or biking. The coffee shop just opened on February 8th, 2016 and they already seem to have smooth and gracious service. Best of luck to the owners! read more

My mini me 1 inhaled her grilled cheese (of which my husband ordered the full size and also demolished his), and mini me 2 and I shared the toasted tuna melt. Good balance of tuna, celery, and bread ratio, but I didn't dig the olives in it. There's a mini kale salad that comes with entrees, and it was healthy and palatable for kale. We did end up balancing that green with the pistachio cruffin and pistachio chocolate chip cookie. Would definitely go back for the cruffin with its flaky layers and luscious pastry cream. Cookie was less impressive but still worth the impulse buy. Indoor and breezy outdoor seating available. Highly recommend!
