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.

Note: Nomad BBQ is no longer at the Rio Grande Blvd sticks 'n bricks location if you, like me…read morebefore an extended road trip, last dealt with him there. Theo's operating in food truck mode only now. He mentioned being at the yellow & blue HappyDaze Cannabis building across from the Maverik gas station on Jefferson St NE at junction of I-25 and Jefferson. I'm unsure of what days & hours. Give him a call to get the "who, what, when, where, why, & how" for his location on any given day. However, I must say that Nomad BBQ is still providing *excellent* Texas style BBQ of exceptional tastiness at very economical prices, given the high quality of the food. If you see their truck anywhere around town, stop in, chow down, and smile ... smile ... smile ... at all the wondrous gustatorial nirvana you've just indulged in. Hands down, killer good BBQ! Everything I said in my previous review still stands. Of special note, besides the extremely good food, is the gregarious, outgoing, and hyper friendly personality that positively shines out of Mr Theo. One of the most convivial food vendors in town. Period!

Finally took time to stop and enjoy their food today. Very…read morenice, simple decor. Clean and inviting. My server was excellent! Took very good care of me. I started with the Chicken Satay. Lightly marinated served with peanut and cucumber sauce. Delicious by itself but the sauces were excellent. I enjoyed the Tom Kha Soup with chicken and the Green Curry with chicken. You can choose your spice....I love mine hot. Wonderful flavors...quite delightful. A very pleasant dining experience. I will be back....a lot!

In any event I intermittent fast and I hadn't eaten so we stopped here on the way back. It's not the most promising looking place on the outside, it's fairly generic, not to mention the generic name. But inside it's cute and clean. The menu is a a good size with lots of options. I ordered the chicken satay and the papaya salad. I can't remember what my wife had but it was good. The satay was nice and not covered in gooey marinade. It was delicate and delicious. The papaya salad was huge and I ended up having it for multiple meals. I ordered medium which turned out to be pretty fiery but delicious. While I've found plenty of good Vietnamese I haven't liked too many of the Thai places here. This is an exception. And now I see that they have a second branch on Nob Hill which is near my house which is great.

B's tamales are my gold standard for the historical NM tubular shaped, carne cored, maseca wrapped,…read more"slap it in your face & get happy", burn your mouth down spicy tastiness 'til you think you done died and gone to Heaven, economical to the point of comical, mobile gustatorial fineness of the best kind. With Miss B parkin' her tamale truck on the corner of Paseo del Norte and Universe up on the west mesa most Saturday mornings, you've no excuse for not gettin' your fix of this New Mexico staple year round, not just for holidays, festivals, or gatherings of the fam. Go Red! Go Green! Go Christmas! It doesn't matter. Her tamales are the best trad version I've found anywhere up to this point & are the bar to beat in my world. Her sauces are the crown jewel -- both red & green bein' plenty flavorful and bringin' plenty of heat. The couple little plastic cups they provide for each tamal are enough and then some. Lips, tongue, and throat stinging with residual capsicum makes you feel alive like crazy and crazy like ain't no tomorrow comin'. It's the burn you learn to love. And you know you'll be back for more as soon as you recover. Ain't no antidote for B's tamales & that wild *** sauce. The tamales are dense, toothy, substantial, filling, and are, at the two-fifty-per, two-fer-five-bucks, four-fer-ten-bucks price point, danged cheap for the quality. Stock up on those bad boys & stack 'em deep. As a little guy & lite eater, one of those beasts flying solo, coupled with a salad or bit o' soup, makes a meal for me. A couple of them at once are justification for a shot of Pepto Bismol for dessert and a nap. I gotta give a special shout-out to the delightfully friendly young lady who mans the cash box, takes your order, and trots the hot stuff out to your car after the magic happens inside the food truck. She's such a nice bright way to start your day. Now I think Miss B has other foodstuffs besides those devilishly good tamales. Maybe green chile stew or other classic NM dishes. But I just can't get over or get past her tamales. They're that good. So hustle on up to the westside to rustle on up some mighty spicy & tasty grub from Miss B for minimal lightening of your wallet while stuffin' up your tum. And keep your nap spot primed.

We've been coming to B's food truck since they pulled up to Paseo and Universe about two years ago…read moreand the food is consistently amazing. So thankful they chose to set up on the corner near our house!! Green and red chile are awesome here - both are spicy but not so overwhelmingly hot it ruins your meal. The fry bread tacos are mainly what we keep returning for. The fry bread is slightly crisp on the outside, chewy on the outside and has a great flavor - never greasy. Good ratio of ground beef to beans to chile so you can get a little of each in every bite. Biscochitos are light, slightly anise flavored, and generously covered in cinnamon sugar. This two to three bite cookie is the perfect appetizer and dessert for your meal from B's. Enchiladas, tamales, and posole are also great here, the only item we haven't tried yet is the frito pie because the fry bread tacos are so good we always get them! On my most recent visit there was also red chile powder and pods for sale. Tip: Call in your order ahead at 505-410-0999, usually our food is ready in 15.

Great addition to the neighborhood and based on my first meal, I'm planning to go here often.
