The people running this place know a little English, but it is helpful to be bi-lingual. No Wifi, but there's great people watching opportunities if you take your meal over to Jackalope and watch all the people from other countries sell their wares to all the tourists from Texas and Oklahoma for their vacation homes... Oh yea, it's near one of the biggest homeless shelters in town, and it's dirt cheap, so be aware of the mid-day drunks. Harmless and friendly, but let's just say they aren't wearing any expensive jewelry and leave it at that...

We stopped in town on our way across the country and stayed at the Silver Saddle. We decided to get…read morelunch there shortly after check-in purely out of convenience. We ended up going there three times during our overnight stay at the Saddle because the food is That Good. The ingredients couldn't have been more fresh, or the prices much lower. By our second visit, I simply asked them to make us anything they wanted, because I trusted that nothing they could make could possibly be bad. What resulted were the best fish tacos I've ever had, coupled with my first taste of lengua tacos, which were also fantastic. The truck may not look very impressive, but do yourself a favor and make a special trip to Jarochos.

I'm currently enjoying the The Taos - Banana, Walnut Chocolate Chunk. I figured it would be a nice chunky cookie and sat down to work at my computer while eating it. I actually stopped what I was doing to enjoy the cookie. Amazing flavors, very fresh, great texture. Generous chunks of ingredients. It took willpower to stop long enough to take the picture! Fantastic cookie! I've never had better.

They tasted like dried, baked unfresh flour and sugar concoction with no other flavors - no aroma of bourbon nor espresso, like what their names described. $3.75 each; complete waste of money.

The wife is a culinary chef from Cali and the hubby is from Texas. With their sweet, passionate personalities and fantastic food it doesn't get any better than this place. We had the bbq pulled pork slider with some of the best coleslaw you will ever have. It's slightly sweet with a soft kick to it and they had banana peppers with it - my fav! Then you must have with out a doubt the pies. We had the pecan pie- eat it and be blessed. Be blessed tremendously it has got to have some sort of secret ingredient but it's amazing. Also has the sweet potato pie it's savory but then sweet. If you want to experience true foodie happiness check them out and you will NOT be disappointed!

While another party ordered in front of me, I sized up the menu, finally deciding that a carne asada torta was just what I needed. For $7 + tax, the serving size exceeded expectations. Inside the fresh, soft bread was a generous amount of carne, along with avocado. I think there may have been cheese as well, but my memory is foggy on that item. I liberally doused it in salsa and did my best to eat with one hand as I stood on the sidewalk holding the box. Long story short, if you come across this beacon of warmth late at night, take refuge in a quesadilla or a cheeseburger. Get a torta, they're awesome. I would love to try a burrito as well, or some tacos al pastor. This food truck demands repeat visits.

Based on flavor it seems there is a small margin of profit. Friend got a small plate of nachos which seemed tasty. Had nice slices of avocado and green chile.

During the hot, humid dog days of summer, deep friendships were forged over the simplest of pleasures: beers and brats around the backyard grill. Those of us with German ancestry invoked an almost religious fervor to this simple tradition, sourcing our dogs from local butchers, slow boiling the bad boys in good pilsner, then lightly, carefully letting 'em warm over the coals -- often for an hour plus -- before smothering everything in sauerkraut and spicy mustard. That first bite, that burst casing that sent juices dripping down jowls, off chins, onto dirty t-shirts, washed down with a cold, unremarkable brew, that was summer in a bun. It's high time this marvelous rite becomes standard issue in Albuquerque, and Sal's brings the goods, elevating everything more than a notch. I paired my L'Italiano with a Marble Heller Bock and was transported, briefly, to You Betcha Land. We actually tried everything on the menu -- we had a crew to feed -- smiles all around. My personal fave is the Il Vero Alfredo, the sauce isn't overdone or heavily salted, but on point, thoughtfully executed, a reflection of the character of everything the Brigante Brigade dishes up. This family business continues to execute delicious foods that fill a void in our metro, and again I'm impressed. You betcha.

While I know these owners and certainly want to see them succeed, rest assured regarding the credibility of this review & believe me when I say The Brigante Empire does it again. If you know anything about these business owners, you understand that they have "The Midas Touch" when it comes to transforming concoctions into edible art, and their commitment to providing Platinum Brilliance Customer Service is bar none. They pour their hearts and souls with all the amore you can fathom into each of their magnificent creations, whether it's their famous Crème Brûlées being served through their sister company Crème de la Crème, or their other brother company Carlo's Cannolis, or their custom cake creations, and now this. It's really hard to pick a favorite, and I tried them all. The "Il Vero Alfredo" Spicy Chicken Sausage with mushrooms and complimented with their homemade creamy & rich Alfredo sauce was fantastic, their specialty spicy 1/4lb Italian sausage layered by their sweet bell pepper medley, caramelized onions, and artisan basil-napoletana sauce was truly mouth watering. The "La Donna" which is their signature ~1/2lb Italian sausage dressed with fresh, and superior artisan basil-napoletana sauce was dyn-o-mite. Each sausage comes with a free mini cannoli. Don't miss out on this one folks....whatever these guys are serving up, you can bet I'll be waiting in line...

UNM has a new food venue on campus, Fresh Box, a 20' container box burrito stand near the…read moreCentennial Engineering Building. Food is not cooked in the container; it is prepared elsewhere and delivered. I was excited to try a fresh taco and burrito place on campus, but this is NOT college dining! They have a limited menu - build-your-own taco or burrito, and breakfast burritos during certain morning hours. Portion size is good, but it is EXPENSIVE if you are on a college budget. These aren't your $1 tacos!! If the weather is nice and you are planning on spending the day strolling the UNM campus, this could be an excellent choice for lunch - grab a burrito and go eat by the duck pond. But it's on-campus dining at restaurant prices. Also: there was no convenient place to dispose of what was clearly recyclable or biodegradable dishes; I had to lug it all over campus until I could find something to do with it!

In four visits, here's my experience: System for ordering and paying is bad. Salad is often rotting. Sandwich, while tasty, is tiny and mostly bread, smoothies cost more than $6 and arent that good. This all raises a big question: why does UNM need these corporate food contracts with non-compete clauses that prevent actual foodtrucks from entering campus? They do everyone a disservice. Fresh Box is proof of failure for this corporate food-service model. That said, I'll give this place another try in 2017 (if it lasts that long).
