If New Mexico's official question is "Red or Green?", the follow-up question might be: "Where can i…read moreget the best breakfast burrito?" For the record, I'm talking about a true handheld breakfast burrito--not one served on a plate and smothered in red, green, or Christmas chile. Hello Deli in Albuquerque's Journal Center is one of the homegrown New Mexico spots I happily recommend when the craving for a handheld breakfast burrito hits. My go-to order is the "Pronto" with sausage and green chile. Just tell the kitchen that's what you want, and they'll take care of the rest. Wrapped in foil and perfectly sized (and priced) for a good breakfast on the go, the Pronto delivers a well-balanced combination of eggs, cheese, potatoes, sausage, and New Mexico green chile. As you peel back the foil, you're greeted with warm, satisfying goodness in every bite. What keeps me coming back is the consistency. Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, the Pronto is reliably delicious and remains my go-to handheld breakfast burrito in Albuquerque.

This restaurant has maintained a high level of service, cleanliness and food quality. This morning we met our kids for breakfast here as it was closest to a central location for all. We arrived as they were opening their doors, and we followed the early queue in, were rapidly seated. Drinks were served quickly and refilled often. My wife and I split an Ol' Traditional with hash browns, bacon and pancakes for the bread. Our son had the same except with sausage and white toast. Our daughter had the Huevos Rancheros with papitas and Christmas chile. One thing that sets Hello Deli apart is their egg preparation. Most restaurants in NM fix over easy eggs with the whites fully cooked. Hello Deli follows what we find in most other places. The whites are just a bit runny. If you don't like that, be sure to order over medium. The hash browns weren't very brown, but were tasty. Next time I need to remember to order them crispy. The bacon was ok and the pancakes were very tasty but a bit doughy. Maybe being as early as we were, the griddle hadn't fully heated to the proper temperature. I know we've had better in the past. Our daughter raved about the red Chile sauce. Overall the food was good and the service was fantastic.

They have a few other items that I'd love to try, so I will be back soon.

I asked for Christmas Mixed, received regular Christmas. It was not worth it today to ask for more Chile to make it mixed. The flavor was very nice. Tender & succulent Shredded beef. Dan ordered, Ultimate Skillet w tortilla and an onion rings app. The onion is rings were typical, get at any bar onion rings... not bad, just not real remarkable. The skillet was good, but with the rings, too much grease. The Homefries were good, just greasy. - and if you have read my posts before, we often pick our restaurants based on oil used, and how greasy it is... as Dan's tummy is touchy to it. The type of oil was fine, the quality was too much. I personally think had he not ordered the onion rings ... it would of been fine.. but not my choice ;). The tables are in a navigable way to get to tables. The walls have tons of signs & photos. It looked reasonably clean and well kept. Worth checking out if you need a new place to dine.

I've been going here for almost 40 years - not sure what it's going to take to get it through my…read morehead that Tully's just isn't to my taste. Over the years I keep going back, about once a year: I've had their sandwiches, their pastries, their pies . . . all kinda "meh" and all priced pretty reasonably but not inexpensively. Sandwiches give you a lot of everything . . . except flavor. Pastries are . . . fine. Pies are . . . fine, and kinda small (and not inexpensive, maybe reaching towards pricey); it's the kinda thing you are willing to pay for in order to bring it to a gathering, only to find almost no one bothers to eat it. And so you don't bother. The cookies are pretty good, actually. (And, yes, I know Italian delis - my Italian grandparents brought me to them in New York when I was a child. However, I'm not judging Tully's against these (as in "it's not as good as Back East"), I'm just saying it never really turns my crank.) Today I had a hot chicken, cheese,onion and pepper sandwich, the Carmela. It was a lot of food. But . . . not a lot of flavor. A whole lot of drippy mess in the bottom of my basket, though: water absolutely sopped through the (completely unmemorable tasting) bread loaf and pooled at the bottom of my basket as I ate in. The potato salad served alongside was fine - like what you'd get at Albertson's. The chicken was tender and . . . essentially without flavor, not even salt. There had clearly been a little marinade (I could sense some oregano and maybe garlic in there) but man could this thing have used about five times as much seasoning and then a healthy dose of a vinegar/garlic/oregano dressing on top of it. Bland. Lots of food in that $17 (almost $25 with tip) sandwich, but not a lot of enjoyment. I've had other Tully's sandwiches (both for here and to-go) that were better, but I can't really recall any of them . . . and I _never_ rush back. Like I said, this is a place I think about ("Hey, I'm right nearby; I should try Tully's again!") about once a year . . . and then, meh. To be fair - I believe that I am pretty out in left field on this take: Tully's is popular and always hopping. Get here early unless you want to stand in line. I only had to wait about three minutes to order, but by the time I left at noon this Friday there was a line to order all the way from the counter to the door. In terms of the room, it's a deli. Reasonably well set out with a decent amount of seating set out well, as well as some outside seating that you might want to try when it's not in the nineties. You order at the counter, pay, go get your own fountain drink (they also have some beer and wine, which they will serve you), find a seat and they'll bring it to you. When you're done, you bus it yourself. Pleasant staff - I don't regret tipping, although they don't do much. (As others have mentioned, if you get a cup of water, Tully's generously gives you a decent sized Solo cup - another plus.) It's fine. If you go, at least get yourself some cookies - they're pretty good.

I live in Rio Rancho and Vic's is about 25 minutes away, so if I'm in the area I drive by and see what the lines are like, usually out the door. Today there was no line at all and several empty tables so we decided to go for it. Got right in and were seated right away. I ordered the chicken fried steak, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and biscuits. My wife ordered the Denver omelette, hash browns and biscuits. The food came out quickly. The portions are huuuge, which didn't surprise me having read the reviews. The chicken fried steak was crispy and delicious, seems homemade unlike most diners that fry up frozen premade steaks. I don't know that it is, but feels that way. Eggs and hash browns were good. Sorry to say the biscuits were quite dry, they kind of sucked the moisture right out of your mouth, even after you slathered them in butter. My wife's Denver omelette was good, not exceptional. She liked the chunky bell peppers and ham. She said the same thing about the biscuits. Service was good, we didn't sit long before the waitress arrived, the food came quick, and they got our check quickly as well. My waitress watched our table and kept my coffee warm. The atmosphere is as you would expect of a dinner. Simple, but clean. I recommend it to anyone who loves diners and has a healthy appetite. Expect a wait on most occasions, and parking can be tough.
