A great compact grocery store with good quality choices and prices, including some gourmet and gluten-free items. Their strategies during the coronavirus pandemic are intelligent and relatively safe -- which is why they still have lines waiting to get in. Thanks to the employees whose kindness continues. read more

This trader joes location is best in country and I have been to every major city's tj, so I can judge objectively. Made my belly feel amazing today. Healthy, natural and affordable read more

What is not to love? Selection, clean, staff are brimming over with very cool friendliness. Oh yeah...!

I really love traders Joe's, but everytime I buy the ground beef , it smells horrendous! I will never ever buy ground beef again at any Trader Joe's. Everything else , I have really loved . read more

My "go to" store. TJ's is small but has all the right stuff for me. I generally go there once a week...whether I need to or not . I stock up on fresh veggies and fruit. I also buy wine as their collection is first rate. The help is simply outstanding and is dedicated to always making everyone's experience first rate. Meats are also stellar. This is the best value market in town in my opinion. read more

I love Trader Joe's as a store itself but I haven't been able to bring myself to shop at this particular location again. The few times I have shopped here I seem to get ignored even upon checkout. If they can fix the lack of customer service I would easily come back. Typically, in the Trader Joe's I've been in (particularly all over California), there are genuinely friendly employees ready to help and I get the exact opposite at this store. Fix the problem and I'll be back. 2 stars solely for product . read more

Great premade sauces foods and candies, primo cheap vino and a good place to pick up a snack. I love this store. I'm always picking up orders for friends to take back to Denver from this place. read more

I hate trader joes and their clientele. It's like the walmart of the yuppie/hippie world. How this place has everyone fooled I'll never know. The food isn't that great at all, but somehow everyone thinks it is because infused with mango papaya crap that its better. read more

Good employees, great selection. I'm so relieved that there's a Trader Joe's in Albuquerque. I moved here from northern California a few months ago and I was thrilled to see one here too! We come here for spices, fresh organic produce, snacks, frozen rack of lamb, fish, and vitamins. read more

If you can survive their parking lot, you are in for a treat! I usually go to TJ's for wine, beer, cheese, or flowers. They have some good deals. read more

Seriously some of the best customer service I experienced in ABQ. From the dudes running around stocking various goodies to the chicks cashing out customers; happy and helpful employees. At one point they stopped what they were doing and broke into song and started dancing. It was like the cast of Stomp was working at TJ's! Well... that may have just been in my head but you can imagine how awesome that would have been, right?! It's a Trader Joe's... they have all the goodies and foodage you would expect to find here, the prices are comparable and the joint is clean. Really once you've been inside one Trader Joe's haven't you been inside them all? I will say that the parking sitch here was no bueno. It was always a matter of everyone except the driver hopping out while the driver circled the parking lot for 30 minutes trying to find parking. Either we would finish our shopping before he found a spot or he'd drive across the street and run across traffic to get to us and then we'd all do that to get back to the car... this parking tomfoolery is the reason for the 4 stars and not the blessed 5 red stars of awesome. I'm a fan! read more

They have a great selection of wine! The Charles Shaw is their wine and it is cheap and delicious! A great selection of organic products as well !! read more

Typical Trader Joes set-up. The thing that sets this one apart from other Trader Joes, like the one in Oceanside, is the friendly staff. I walked in just looking for salsa and ran in to a large man named Ricky. He had a big personality and was really funny and helpful. He definitely brightened my day. As I checked out, the check out staff was very friendly and was honestly interested in their customers! You don't see that every day. Awesome experience, keep up the good work guys; a well deserved 5 stars! read more

When Trader Joes came to ABQ I was so excited. I still am. I don't shop here all the time, since it's so far from my house, but I think the selection of a) Orchids, b) cheese, and c) wine, make it a stand out. The prices are reasonable and I like to get fruit and veggies here too. The parking tends to feel tight at this location, but, it could just be the times when I go. read more

what hasn't been said about this place? it's amazing...my favorite mental spa moment when I have to go grocery shopping. The best!

What's not to like about this grocery store? They have all the standard Trader Joe's stuff, plus some great local items. We were surprised, for example, to see local beers for sale at this national chain. A great place to stock up on groceries in ABQ! read more

Horrible customer service, absolutely rude. I always go to trader joes and I have NEVER had a bad experience I have NEVER been ignored. The cashier who helped my sister heard me say I'm going to get something I will be right back. He saw me coming back and chose, yes chose to help someone with a full cart. I had two items, let me repeat what I just wrote two items. Well you better believe I will let as many people know to make the extra drive and go to a less pretentious trader joes read more

Trader Joe's alright. Everything you'd expect. They even had a small sampler of their turkey bacon on a cracker with a tuna fish spread that was actually pretty good. I don't like tuna at all, so that's a hard one to put on paper... read more

I spend so much time shopping here, really just because it is the closest decent super market. Trader Joes is really good for specific specialty items. The produce blows, half the time it is rotting in the package and it is overpriced. The cheeses, wine, snacks, nuts, some frozen items, dairy, coffee, and some of the meats are the things to buy. The frozen fish is usually not great and some of the frozen seafood is mostly ice. Their frozen desserts are also usually good. The employees are usually very nice and I feel they have improved over the last year or so. I remember seeing who I thought was a homeless guy moving the yogurts around. Then a few moments later I realized it was one of the employees. In summary, a great place to buy a few special items but don't ever try to do all of your shopping here. You will be sorely disappointed. read more

I was a bit shocked when I got home and found that some of the meat I had bought was to expire the next day. Most Trader Joe's I have been to in other states do not have this happen. When I opened the beef I bought it had a strange sulfide odor. I should have not bought the meat here with the bulging packages, but I thought it was due to the high elevation we are at in Albuquerque. Don't buy meat here. I spent a huge amount of money for bad meat. read more

Prices, Store, Grocery Choices and Service is why I drive all the way up to Paseo and Ventura. I have so many favorites and I love shopping here every week. They have so many fun holiday dish ideas that I love to try out. Go in and just walk around and you will find some amazing items that you would never normally try. read more

I will admit, I am slightly obsessed with Trader Joe's and this location is full of great food, great prices, and super amazing staff! Albuquerque doesn't quite know how lucky it is to have a TJ's. When I lived in Colorado, I had no idea what I was missing (but always knew something was missing...), now I am hooked! Cheap wines that taste good, packaged food that's actually healthy(ish), TJ's has it all! The best part is the great staff! They are always friendly and super helpful. The store is clean and brightly lit and there is usually pretty good parking available. ...mmm, Trader Joe's. read more

I'm such a big fan of Trader Joe's. Great selection of organic produce, dairy, meats. I love so many of their products and enjoy the adventure in discovering new ones. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about their products. read more

Always a pleasant experience at Trader Joe's- We frequent this location but I like the space at the Uptown location better. Everyone is always helpful and knowledgeable. read more

Great store, bigger than the ones we had in the North Seattle area. Very busy area, and parking is always a challenge. Wish they had a larger selection of non-dairy bread, even the soy bread had dairy in it. read more

Have been loyal TJs customer in CA, Phoenix and NYC. This store does not meet TJ standards. If you have high expectations from other TJs stores don't bring them with you here. Love the products but service here is the poorest we've ever experienced from TJ's. we used to drive 30 minutes to see our favorite mate Judy in Phoenix and we would stand in lines that wrapped around the store in Manhattan and Brooklyn...and we're always raving fans. Not here! May not be shopping there anymore! Caryl read more

Like this place. Perhaps not as wide a selection as you might need to totally stock your pantry. That's true. But what they stock is good quality and nicely priced. read more

I went here when I was temped at corporate housing next door. The blond cashier insisted that she check my brother's ID as well as mine so I could purchase wine. I only had my ID because we walked over from corporate housing and she could see that I am way over 21. However she would not let me purchase it. The dark haired manager said the same thing, rudely. When I asked for the section of the law where that is required or an explanation they did not give me an answer and just kept saying it was the law. I don't believe it. They are just being discriminatory and rude. Go to the other Trader Joe's in North Albuquerque Acres. read more

I am perplexed by the thought of what I would do if we did not have Trader Joe's. They are my mainstay... Great food, excellent prices, I know they take great care in delivering quality comestibles which means a lot to me. read more

What I love about trader joes is the frozen section. Cheap healthy eats like convenient stir fries, veggies, quick meals, etc. Also a good variety of organic food that's at least reasonably priced! Seconding Howie though on the produce - it goes bad SO FAST. Not even worth it. Meats and such I tend to freeze immediately. We only shop here occasionally and I tend to stock up on frozen healthy goods. read more

This place is Heaven on Earth to me. My favorite Grocery Store, My favorite Trader Joes. Love the New Mexico Wine Selection especially!! Nice People, amazing Flowers here. read more

I am here on business and I usually stock up on my usual Joe's food, and this location doesn't disappoint. I have grown accustom to Joe's great blend of local and international food selection, which this location does a great job! The staff is very friendly and the store is very clean. read more

Always friendly staff. I find all the gluten free things I need. Love that they always have products for sample gives you a chance to try something new. read more

The last experience I had here was terrible. Food went bad a week before the "best by" date. Lots of money down the drain, we couldn't even eat half of what we bought days before. The premade food is gross and bland. Only perk was my daughter could push her own shopping cart around and got stickers at the checkout. read more

The food is always good, service is usually great, but the customers are absolute crap. I don't know if it's possible to rate the customer base that comes into a store, but this TJ location has the worst customers ever every single time I go there. Rude, hostile, and self absorbed. Go to the other location at ABQ Uptown if you at least want to pass people in the aisles with smiles or souls. read more

Thanks to Dawn, an employee who ran out to the parking lot to bring the eggs that I had bought but had not been put in the cart. That kind of service is very much appreciated. read more

this store needs to update their card readers at the registers. the chance of having your card declined is high and this can be embarrassing and annoying. the cashier will ask you to keep inserting and/or sliding your card which will eventually make it not be accepted for your purchases at all. believe it, it's happened to me several times. if your card is wrongly declined, ask that another register be used before inserting or sliding your card again! read more

PLEASE OPEN ONE UP ON THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN!!! I love this place but rarely shop there because it's very inconvenient to drive to. Very good quality and great prices. It's better than Whole Foods at 1/2 the price! read more

A lot of fluff and self created personality engulf Trader Joes in my opinion. I find several items unique and fairly priced. However I cannot purchase MANY items due to the ALLERGY STATEMENT which states: may contain allergens such as wheat soy milk nuts etc. Why should corn chips possibly contain these items? Is this due to unsanitary conditions in processing?Equiptment needs to be cleaned between products at some point , if not for allergens but for Salmonella and other contaminents.The "may contain allergen" statement does no one any favors it prevents persons with allergies from enjoying many foods which should be safe. Why say MAY contain:RAT FECES HUMAN HAIR AND SKIN AND OR BLOOD ? That would be more useful to all people that eat food and desire to not consume these items . I didn't see a warning for SALMONELLA on the peanut butter label either. TJ's is an example of truley effective advertising much the same as Costco or Sams club.I find better prices and full range of product at my local large grocery store. read more
