Apparently, you don't eat the outer shell. Good to know. I found out a little too late. They roast hatch chiles there. There's dessert empanadas (lemon, apple and right now pumpkin), tortillas, Mexican candies, tomatillos, other fruits and veggies, etc... Staff were outgoing and very helpful.

Prepare to wait awhile if you come during peak times. The shop is small, and the set up doesn't allow for much maneuvering inside. Maybe in the future they can relocate to a shop with a better set up? Our cheese monger in Houston had several lanes to split up the "I'm here to taste cheeses" folk from the "I'm here to order a meal". That sort of method could greatly increase the speed of the waiting in line. Just something to think about if they do end up moving to a larger space in the future!

Then they changed to an obnoxious billing agency (Table22) that overbilled, spammed, and demanded that I get an appointment to pick up cheese or they would assign me a time. I tried to quit, but the agency won't take me off the spam list and the local staff says they have no control over the agency. Their sandwiches are very good.

It proudly carries what can only be described as the United Nations of snacks. These are the treats your trendy teenagers have been "Tik-Tok-ing" into viral fame--the kind with packaging that compels them to snap that selfie and send it out into the ether in a nanosecond. The shelves read like a passport: confections from Lebanon, Dubai, China, South Korea, Taiwan, and beyond. Exotic chocolates that make domestic candy seem shy by comparison. Chips in flavors you didn't know were legal. And then there's the drink selection--a kaleidoscope of juices, sodas, and energy drinks adorned with beloved anime characters and designs that blur the line between beverage and collectible. It's less of a cooler and more of a museum exhibit, except here you're encouraged--no, expected--to participate. The true heart of the place, however, is the gentleman behind the counter. His zeal is palpable. He's not merely ringing up purchases; he's hosting an adventure. His warmth and enthusiasm make you feel less like a customer and more like a co-conspirator in discovering something wonderful. Human connection at it's finest. Yes, the prices lean toward the premium side, but that feels less like indulgence and more like reality--importing the world isn't cheap, and tariffs are no respecter of snack-based diplomacy. What you're really paying for is access: access to flavors, cultures, and moments that would otherwise require a boarding pass. And Monaco Market doesn't stop at snacks. It's also a treasure chest of viral odds and ends--shirts, gifts, toys, and knick-knacks that feel handpicked for people who appreciate the joy of novelty. Every shelf feels intentional, like a curated rebellion against the ordinary. And rumor has it a ramen bar is on the horizon, promising a quick nosh for those who want something warm to accompany their global snack pilgrimage. Bottom line: Monaco Market is pure FUN. It's a place where curiosity is rewarded, where novelty is celebrated, and where you're reminded that sometimes the smallest treats carry the biggest sense of wonder. Albuquerque is lucky to have it--and I suspect many of us will be back, if only to prove to our teenagers that we, too, know what's cool... eventually.

I've been going there ever since. A few years ago, they added a bakery. It is chock full of delicious cookies, eclairs, cannolis, and you can even get a wedding cake there. Most recently, I went with some coworkers for lunch and ordered the Bella Mozzarella sandwich. Beautiful, thick slices of fresh mozzarella, loaded with tomatoes and basil. The bread was super fresh, and the potato salad was very flavorful. My coworker got an eclair on our way out. I just had a bite and it was divine. The older gentleman behind the counter was courteous and friendly. The atmosphere is laid-back, and the side wall is covered in shelves that contain imported pasta and various other products from Italy. There's a freezer case filled with premade meals and meat.
