    The service was really great. Good people working there for sure. I had the fish and chips - got the spicy version- Came out hot with fries and a little dish of coleslaw - wish it would have been bigger- everything was tasty and filling

    Eggplant Burger
    Enrique S.

    Holy guacamole, this place slaps harder than my abuela's chancla! Y'all, I stumbled into On the Beach at Tin Can Alley like a tumbleweed with a GPS malfunction, and let me tell you - best wrong turn of my LIFE! So I'm thinking "eggplant burger" sounds like something my hippie cousin would order while doing yoga in the desert, but NOPE. This purple beauty showed up looking like it graduated summa cum laude from Burger University. The sweet potato tots? Forget about it! They were so crispy and perfect, I'm pretty sure they were blessed by the sweet potato gods themselves. I may have made some questionable moaning sounds that scared the family at the next table, but no regrets. And can we talk about the Oktoberfest from Santa Fe Brewery? This beer was smoother than my dance moves after three margaritas (which is saying something because I dance like a caffeinated penguin). It paired with that eggplant burger like peanut butter and jelly, or like me and bad life decisions. The service was so good I wanted to adopt the entire staff. They were attentive without being clingy, friendly without being weird, and they didn't judge me when I asked for extra napkins because I eat like a toddler at a birthday party. Bottom line: If you don't come here, you're doing your taste buds a disservice that should probably be illegal. I'm already planning my next visit and considering getting the eggplant burger tattooed on my forearm. Will definitely be back faster than you can say "green chile!"

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Solid place to meet a friend for lunch, and a lot of people are doing just that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of seating and it's clean and kept clean by constantly circulating employees.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Lots of parking, too. Downside? There are a variety of restaurants there but there were only two that interested me toda - and one wasn't open yet. The one I tried (and had been long wanting to try) was a disappointment. There is another one there that I know is fine and at least a couple more that look vaguely promising. You'll find something to eat - but I can't guarantee it'll knock your socks off.

    On a recent visit to Albuquerque area, we went to Tin Can Alley. Our family of 3 Chose three different food outlets. My wife had a sandwich from Guava Tree, my son had a chicken sandwich from Kūkri and I had a Veggies Pizza from Amore Neapolitan Pizza. We all enjoyed our three dishes. We will be back!

    I'm not gonna say a whole lot about this place, but it is a nice food court to visit if you're in the Albuquerque area. It is a shipping container style food Plaza that includes a brewery, American food, pizza, hot chicken, pho, sweets, and a couple of other things. Things that stood out: the food costs on average are definitely cheaper than Southern California (which is a great thing), all the vendors are local, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]it's a nice low-key place to relax and eat after a long flight[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Come here with your friends, grab a brew, and check it out

    While in Albuquerque, I found some food places inside this cool and quirky food court. The place is really cool and gives like an industrial, shipping container, artsy, graffiti vibe on the exterior! There is two levels and lots of outdoor seating up top. There are various food vendors but also some clothing and apparel vendors and I believe also a small arcade inside. I wasn't able to explore everything because it was crazy packed. I like how they had some unique seating around and the views from up top were amazing. I viewed the mountains during my whole visit. Definitely looking forward to coming back here when I'm back in Albuquerque! Loved the vibe!

    I consider myself a local as we frequent ABQ various times a month and Tin Can Alley never disappoints! The atmosphere alone is inviting and has a unique vibe. We've met friends here for drinks in the Santa Fe Brewing Tap Room. Tap room offers a variety of flavorful beer options. Today I opted for Pho Kup, which is always a favorite of mine and it was delicious! The consistency overall goodness keeps me coming back. Service was fast and I had a very pleasant lunch experience. I got to visit the Brotique 505 store which cultivates homegrown designers and artisans. They specialize in locally-produced products focusing on NM culture where you can find apparel, stickers, jewelry, hats, home goods, and fun accessories of all kinds.

    Tin Can Alley offers great food options like Guava Tree's tasty Cubano and Amore Neapolitan Pizza. [[HIGHLIGHT]]With strong WiFi and plenty of seating, it's a perfect spot to work remotely or relax and enjoy amazing eats.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommend!

    I really came to check out the over-the-top multi-story shipping container architecture. It's fun. That this a food court with some interesting vendors makes it a reason to stick around for a while. Enjoy.

    This is a cool place with a good variety of dining options and some other venues. The dining hall is multi level and not super packed in with a too high density of chairs, which is nice. We came in on a week night and it was pretty full. Some of the businesses were already closing around 8.30 which was earlier than posted. Im sure locals are aware but for out of townies be aware and come by 7.30. We tried a few of the food options and it was mostly good. The place has really cool vibes and is well worth a visit.

    Is the dining area cooled with AC? Or is it too hot to be with dogs during summer?

    I just picked up food here when the temp outside was close to 100. I would say you and your furry friends will be just fine! The space is very open and cooled, but it’s not extremely cold. There are mist sprayers on the deck and a separate water… 

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    No. Service animals only.

    Is there wifi?

    Yes there is! Free wi-fi throughout Tin Can Alley.

    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.

Loved the environment. B: ring your savings bc it is a little spendy and will add up. Easily over $100 for us 2 adults and 2 kids. Q: uite an extensive range of food options here, like Italian pasta, tacos, German food, poke bowls, sushi, waffles, pastries, fried chicken, sandwiches, salads, and Mediterranean. You won't be left dehydrated either, either stands for frozen lemonade, custom old fashioneds, specialty dirty sodas and milkshakes, and Little Bear coffee bar. Our party had frozen lemonade, a tuna poke bowl (a little light on tuna and heavy on seaweed), California roll, and creamy lemon chicken pasta. The pasta was flavorful and a hefty serving. I also enjoyed one of the best iced vanilla lattes I've ever had at Little Bear (balanced, flavorful, not overly sweet).

The place was nearly empty, which made it easy for everyone to quickly get what they wanted to eat, and we found a table that accommodated our large group.

First off, we ordered the vegetable egg rolls for an appetizer, I do not recommend them since they are frozen ones. They were tasteless while the interior of these rolls were mushy, though the duck sauce was quite tasty it could not overcome these appetizers. Our entrees came next, my husband asked about the serving size and he was told a plate only fed one person, not true. The plate serves two. Anyway, the Kung Pao Chicken has really good flavor, was spicy and served with a side of steamed white rice. My husband's entree was Orange Chicken and nothing spectacular about it. But what will keep us from ever going back was that as we sat in the restaurant eating I started to smell cigarette smoke. It became more pronounced and I realized they were smoking in the kitchen and had the door open to where we were sitting. With that revelation my husband quickly got us out of there...the cigarette smoking inside the kitchen is a total dealbreaker.

It sort of felt like I was a child again and in the candy shop from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Over the last year, I have visited Albuquerque twice, and during those two trips, I went to the Sawmill Market three times. While I had different dishes for dinner on each of the visits, I certainly stopped by the Sweets Soda Fountain all three times. They have sodas and float where you can choose a flavor and then choose to "glow up" the soda or float by adding whipped cream, sprinkles, or cotton candy. They have 8 Sweets Originals including my favorite "The Orange Dream" made of orange juice, vanilla ice cream, orange sherbet, and soda water. They have "pour overs" which contain alcohol. They also have bubbles, and you can make any drink "boozy" by adding Prosecco and cordials. They also have a "Flight of the Unicorns" with three tastes of Prosecco topped with house-made cotton candy, which you can add macarons or bonbons if you want. I had "The Orange Dream" on two of the visits. It was tasty and reminded me of an orange dreamsicle or "creamsicle" popsicle. In addition to the drinks, they also have macarons, bonbons, gummies, cotton candy, and other kinds of pre-packed candies. I also met three different employees over the several months, who each gave me individual attention (especially as no one else was in line). One had me try a complimentary bonbon since she didn't know the difference in flavors. All answered my many questions and made recommendations of what to try. I was pleased with the service of the employees at Sweets Soda Fountain. They also took the Sawmill Market gift card. You can see the Sweets Soda Fountain menu by going to https://www.sawmillmarket.com/menus and clicking on Sweets Soda Fountain. They are open daily from 11 AM to 9 PM. While I didn't actually realize there were boozy beverages until after I left, I can see how this place would be popular with kids and adults alike. What a delightful experience visiting! I look forward to going back again on a future Albuquerque trip.
