    I'm late posting, but placed an online order from That's My Rez Sandwich Shop a few weeks ago. We ordered the pueblo deli sandwich and the mesa turkey club. Both were phenominal sandwiches! The pueblo deli had black forest ham, smoked turkey, and bologna with green chile, lettuce, tomato and cheddar cheese and we added a green chile mayo and the mesa turkey comes with smoked turkey, bacon, swiss, lettuce, tomato, cucumber we added green chile mayo and pickle spear included with both sammies. They both were thick, hearty ans so flavorful! We ordered them as a combo that comes with and ice cold beverage and bag of chips. Is it worth the drive, and price, hell yeah! We are looking forward to going back!

    This is a nice little space up in Rio Rancho. Some friends and I decided to check it out just for fun. It's a bit of a haul from the foothills so I don't see myself going super often, though it looks like it has a great set of events and things that happen fairly frequently. If you haven't been, go check it out. There are a good number and variety of food options and little shops. There's still some empty spaces there, so it will be interesting to see what it's like once it fills out.

    We discovered THE BLOCK while visiting our son in Rio Rancho on a Friday night. My wife and I chose El Chamo Arabe Express, as both of us have visited Venezuela. We had empanadas and sweet plantains. For our taste the empanadas were ok, the dough was too thicker and oily. On our next visit, I would enjoy some cocktails on the Top of THE BLOCK cocktail bar. The venue concept is great and had fun enjoying the live music and view of the Sandia Mountains.

    ***Review for "XO Waffles and Crepes" *** NEW BUSINESS*** I was hungry but really couldn't decide on what to eat. A condition that affects millions of adults nationwide. This is an "adulting" challenge no one warns you about in grade school. Anyways, I narrowed it down to comfort food. Then waffles popped up on my phone. Gotta love AI and its creepy, stalker ways. I went to the Block in Rio Rancho. It's a little food hall located at the Enchanted Hills Shopping Center behind Petsmart, but don't get concerned. No animals were harmed in my quest for waffles. I hadn't really been over there before, and this is when I discovered XO Waffles and Crepes! The food was amazing and settled my adulthood dilemma of what to eat. I got a sweet waffles because I earned it, but they have savory options too. Johnny is the operations manager and had a cool NY accent. He was great and friendly. Matt made my order with speed and precision. I was thinking to myself, "Self, you made a good choice for once!" It looked just like the picture (which is more than I can say for any dating app interactions.) The waffle was delicious and visually beautiful. Who knew waffles could be such a treat. So go take your "adulting challenged" self to XO Waffles and Crepes and make good choices! Highly recommend!

    Top of the Block bar is really nice and has a great view. Restaurants are average. Might check it out again for a band but otherwise not much happening.

    I absolutely love The Block and highly recommend it. There's so much to do in summer. This winter, they have trivia night and other activities up in the bar area where it's nice and warm. My favorite pizza of all time is Thicc - wow!!! Absolutely delicious. I will continue to frequent and support the restaurants and of course the upper bar!!

    This place is new to Rio Rancho. It's no Tin Can Alley but I think it has more of a family friendly atmosphere. I have yet to try the crepes. Pizza or tacos but I'm sure I will. It's always clean, heaters throughout, tables and a stage. Hope it makes it!

    Walmart Supercenter Bernalillo, New Mexico -- Extremely Disappointing Experience…read moreI had a very bad experience at the Walmart Supercenter in Bernalillo, New Mexico, and I feel senior management and customers should know what happened. I had a special event coming up and found a bottle of wine marked down to $30. The bottle had a security device on it. After I paid for my groceries, an employee took the bottle to remove the security device. When I checked my receipt, I noticed I had been charged $42.98 instead of the advertised $30. I asked the employee if the transaction could be corrected, but he couldn't do it, so I went to customer service. That's when I also noticed that the foil covering the cork was missing. At that point, I had serious concerns about the condition of the bottle. I waited for a manager and explained that I had been overcharged and that the bottle's seal/foil had been cut. I asked if I could receive a refund. The manager refused, telling me that New Mexico law prohibits the return of alcohol. I don't believe that explanation was accurate, as I have previously returned wine at Costco and have receipts showing that. I expressed my frustration with the customer service I had received. I then went toward the pharmacy to pick up my prescriptions, but it was extremely busy, so I decided not to wait. As I was preparing to leave, I thought perhaps there might be another bottle of the same wine that could simply be exchanged for the one I had concerns about. I went back toward the wine department. The manager followed me and told me that I had to leave the store. I told the manager that I wanted to speak with his manager, and he told me that he did not have a manager. I told him I had done absolutely nothing wrong and was simply trying to resolve a problem with a product I had purchased. He then threatened to call the police if I didn't leave immediately and told me I was not allowed to return to the store. I told him to call the police because, at that point, I wanted to explain exactly what had happened. I offered to return all $354 worth of groceries I had purchased, but he refused to assist me and continued telling me to leave. I was treated as though I had done something wrong when all I was trying to do was resolve an overcharge and a problem with a bottle I had purchased. The store's surveillance video should clearly show what happened from beginning to end. What makes this experience especially frustrating is that I never became aggressive, never threatened anyone, and never did anything to warrant being treated this way. I simply wanted the issue corrected. This was an absolutely unacceptable customer-service experience. Walmart needs to review the surveillance footage, investigate what happened, and address how this situation was mishandled. Customers should not be bullied or threatened with police simply because they question an overcharge and ask for help resolving a problem with a product they purchased. Very disappointing experience at Walmart

    I'll be honest, it's been a while since I've been so excited to post a review. Why am I so…read moreexcited? Wal-mart has done something revolutionary. It could change the way we shop for groceries, but people have to USE it for it to continue. Since I am an early adopter, I have already tried this. Let me tell you why I am so excited. Although I love people watching at Wal-Mart, I also love to save time. My wife and I timed our online grocery shopping. It took us twenty minutes to order and pay for our groceries online. Usually, this process took us more than an hour at Wal-Mart, sometimes more, if the lines were long. Walmart gave us a $10 off coupon for our first grocery order. After ordering, they give you a choice of checking a substitution product if they are out of your brand. When ordering, they give you a picture, weight and/or size of the product. You select the quantity. We ordered fruits, vegetables, and deli meat to see what the "shopper" would get us. I have two complaints here, they need to offer a choice of slice thickness for deli meat and allow coupons to be entered online. Manuel, our in store shopper, picked out very fresh, unbruised, fruits and vegetables. You pick the time and date to pickup your groceries. It is really a time slot, we picked between 1 and 2 pm. We entered our cell number online and they called us ten minutes before one. They were asking if we would be arriving for pickup at one or a little later. Pickup is on the right side of the building by the pharmacy drive thru. Manuel explained this phone call is so he could be outside waiting because he literally got the groceries right before we arrived. He also brought the groceries out of the store and loaded them into our car. Wal-Mart asks that you do not tip the shoppers. Manuel gave us a swag bag for using this service (I have attached pictures). It was tough for us imagining someone else handling our groceries, but if you think about it, the cashier touches all of them when you are checking out. This is such a time saver and eliminates the need for standing in line. Manuel told me if more people don't try this service, than Wal-mart is going to kill it. So I am writing this so everyone can try it at least once. I bet you will like it as much as I did. Go to Walmart.com/grocery

    O M G ... If…read morecommitment issues were a place, it would be Sawmill Market. This is where you go when no one can agree on anything and somehow everyone wins. Pizza, pho, coffee, cocktails, ice cream, tacos , brewery, sweets , sushi , clay pot , European bakery , something vaguely healthy to balance it out, it is all here under one very aesthetic roof. Set inside a restored industrial space, the whole vibe leans effortlessly cool with open air seating, big windows, loud music and that buzzy energy of people grazing their way through dinner . You order from different vendors, regroup at a table, and pretend you planned it that way. It is chaotic in the besttttt way. Surprisingly we did not have long lines or long waits and found a table very quickly upstairs . The food? Hit or miss depending on where you land, but the variety is the real star. Come with a group, order too many things, and share everything. Just know you are paying a little extra for the ambiance and convenience, which feels very on brand for a place like this. Would I come back? Absolutely. It is not just a meal, it is an experience, and sometimes that is exactly what you want.One of the best food halls I've been to in a while.

    We had heard about a converted industrial site (used by the railroads), that became a food hall…read more We decided to check it out. It's got something like a dozen different food outlets to please everyone. There are a couple of bar setups, too, that looked like fun. We got tacos, and some Vietnamese dishes and enjoyed them a lot. The place has plenty of tables, an upstairs area, and a large screen tv to take in while you dine. ... we enjoyed the experience so much that we went back a second night, and got noodle dishes, poke bowls, and a salad bowl. (We took these to go and went up the sandia tram and ate at picnic tables overlooking the city) Everything we ate was really good, and reasonably priced. And there are very many vegetarian options, and at least a few vegan ones, too. People say parking can be a hassle, but we didn't experience that. But the lot is small for the space size, so I can see how it could be an issue.
