    Food Truck
    Rian S.

    I was blown away at how mouth watering the BBQ meat was! By far the best BBQ I've had in a while - possibly the best I've had in NM to be honest. I had the Brisket Burnt Ends Green Chili Cheese Fries and with every bite it was an "oh my God" moment. You can taste the backwoods trees they personally cut down themselves to smoke this fine meat. I know the owner Matt from high school and I have to say he still has the knack for cooking! Him & his brother David take the food truck back and forth between Albuquerque and Grants NM to serve the communities. Great service, & great food. Make sure to get your fingers on this stuff, & lick them clean!

    Call, go, eat, enjoy!

    Bottom Line: Texas style BBQ of the highest order!!! And at pretty reasonable prices too. Very cordial owner! Save your gas money, skip the BBQ trip to Austin or San Antone. Hit up Big Boi BBQ at the food truck gathering on the corner of Central & Unser to scratch your BBQ itch. Thank me later. Top Line: First things first. Huge shout out to the one man owner-operator, pitmaster, cashier, chief cook & bottle washer of this truck for his warm, friendly & cordial greeting. Matt (as best my leaky brain remembers) was a delight to talk with all through our interaction. It's great to have him on the Duke City eating scene! I scored a 1/3 lb sliced smoked brisket sandwich with plain unaccessorized fries for dinner when I got home and a half pound of sliced brisket (mixed 50-50 lean & fat end of the brisket) loose meat for later consumption. Total ring out came to $28 and change. Gotta tell ya, the smell of the Big Boi BBQ sack made the half hour drive home seem *WAY* longer. Aromatic nirvana!! First bite of the brisket sandwich told me I'd struck gold. Smoke note stood front & center, comin' in hot & heavy, loaded for bear, punchy-punchy-punchy, makin' a ruckus all over my taste buds & up mah nose. Acrid sharp heavenly smoke like I've found on my better Texas road trips. The smoke ring & bark circling each slice was not lyin'. This is the real deal!! This brisket was absolutely addictive. I could not stop my voracious chowing down until the last bite was gone. Then I was left wishin' for more. Brisket was likewise very, very tender. Bark was of course super strong on smokiness, as well as being tender & not crusty hard. Obviously the brisket had spent sufficient time wrapped to make the whole thing wonderously soft. Moistness of the meat ran a bit to the middle of the pack, which I found to be about right. While the slices were not actively dripping juice, a few napkins should be at the ready nonetheless. BBQ sauce was a bit sweet, but had a serious kick with a harmonious black pepper & smokiness duet goin' on. I'm thinkin' the extra sauce is gonna make killer scrambled eggs some morning. Bun was large & sturdy enough to hold up to the load of meat, sauce, & pickles. The half hour drive home did the fries a huge disservice. Being in the sauna-like box with the sandwich sogged them out & limped them up pretty badly. But that ain't Big Boi's fault. Obviously I should live closer. Flavor of the fries was still on the mark. So stop by and give Big Boi BBQ a chance to fill you up with some of (if not *the*) best Texas style BBQ in town.

    i absolutely loveee this place food is incredible ,delicious and so heavenly!!…read more The service is amazing too you don't have to feel embarrassed about not being bilingual they speak English and Spanish there. They have TVs playing either shows or music. I love how peaceful it is in there and how much hard work they put into making their food. Most places you see the people messing around talking the whole time, but they are locked in on making your food and getting things done. Me, my boyfriend and friends i recommend this place to absolutely loveee this place and will forever keep coming for more food !!

    This popped up on my Instagram at some point. They have several around the city, but this one is…read moreclosest to my home. I usually don't pay attention to those ads but man... I'm so glad I did. I came near closing, but service was still awesome. The lady behind the counter was super patient with me as I scanned the menu and tried to figure out what I wanted to order. I was dinner so I opted for a Birria burrito, then added on a Birria taco and a carne asada taco. There were two people ahead of me so my food was a little slow to come but I tell ya: it was worth the wait. My picture doesn't really do this justice. The burrito is fucking huge. One of the biggest I've ever had. I wish I knew how big it was ahead of time, cause I would not have ordered the tacos. Or maybe I would have cause the tacos were chonky and so damned good too. Going back to the birria burrito.. wow. It was packed full of birria with some rice and beans. The ratio is AMAZING for us meat lovers. I could only stomach half the burrito, plus the two tacos. Was able to save the other half for lunch tomorrow. Still super duper tasty. The birria was very very juicy and tender flavorful. Lord, mouth is watering just thinking about it. The other amazing part? The PRICE. That giant birria burrito was $11.99. I defy you to find a place with a better price to portion ratio than this. Especially in this economy. I'm definitely coming back, cause apparently the other burritos are even BIGGER according to the staff. Price, taste, quantity. Can't be beat. You'd be doing yourself a disservice if you skip this spot. Or maybe skip it, so they don't get overhyped and jack up their prices. (yeah, I'm a little selfish XD)

    So, I think it's time I update my review and give them that last star! They've certainly earned all…read morefive from me!I I've tried them out all around town at different locals and have to be disappointed! My lasted venture with their eats happened at High and Dry Brewing. It was my first time at the brewery so I was happy to see a familiar food truck when I walked up. It was the one year anniversary of High and Dry so it was a perfect day for them to post up. I know that I like their chicken bite but I wanted something different and opted for the California Chicken sandwich. Upon first glance it looked pretty basic but I was very pleasantly won over by the sandwich after the first bite. Yes, it this is a fried chicken breast, but it is very lightly battered/breaded and is cooked perfectly! The chicken is soft and moist not hard and dry. It is also not a dainty sandwich, filled with cheese, avocado, mustard, pickles, tomatoes and onion so make sure to get a napkin. I cleaned my plate. Cajun fries and all. I'm looking forward to the next time I happen across the Blazin Barn. I want to try something else from their menu....if I can refrain from ordering the California Chicken again.

    Had the PB&J burger with a side of truffle fries. Who knew that peanut butter and jelly would go…read moreamazing with bacon and green chile. Thanks for being outside of High and Dry brewery. My only criticism is that my friend had to munch only on the fries because there weren't many small vegetarian friendly options and that I was hoping for more ketchup since we got a big serving of fries (good, well made, not greasy and yummy fries).

    I saw a post on TikTok and Instagram mentioning that they offer gluten-free options, so I decided…read moreto reach out and ask about their precautions. They responded really quickly and explained that they take precautions in the kitchen and that the chicken and french fries are cooked in dedicated fryers that do not contain gluten. We were really excited to give them a try! We went for dinner tonight, and they were pretty busy. The person taking our order was really nice. I let him know that I have a gluten allergy, and he made sure to mark it on our ticket. I ordered the gluten-free Nashville chicken sandwich with french fries, and my husband got the open-face Nashville with fries. Mine was absolutely delicious! The chicken was cooked perfectly, the gluten-free bun was actually really good, and the fries were great too. My husband really enjoyed his meal as well. They have a nice little area where you can sit and eat. While we were eating, the owner came out and checked on everyone to see how their food was. He was extremely friendly and genuinely seemed happy that we enjoyed everything. We had such a great experience, this is definitely a place we'll be going back to!

Even though it is a food truck, it has a good seating space with good shade. The service was good, especially when the cook brought our food, personally. They were even concerned that our food was going to be too spicy . Speaking of the food, I ordered the Korean Chicken Boss and the Hellfire Crunch sandwiches with fries. The Korean was a bit tangy and a bit sweet with a good piece of perfectly breaded chicken. The Hellfire was a bit spicy but not overwhelming. Both were messy but it can be contained if you are skillful. The fries were crispy and quite good Overall, I was glad we finally found No Mames, as they made us feel quite welcomed and their food was quite good. Next time, those smash burgers will be on our list!

    I was in between a meeting and thought I would stop by Kimo's for lunch out of whim as it happened…read moreto be along the way to my next meeting. I'm so glad I finally got to check this place out after all these years of living here. The store is in an industrial area, and looking from the road, you can definitely miss it if you blink. It looks a lil sort of like a hole in a wall place and I wasn't even sure it was open by looking from the outside even! But...I did park in the back and checked out the shop! I opted for Loco Moco with overeasy egg, soda and got 2 spam musubi to go. I must say the food hit the spot for me. I hadn't had Hawaiian food for close to 10 years now so it was really nostalgic savoring this thing again. The spam musubi was also great though on a pricy side..but hey..once in a while, it's good to treat yourself with yummy things! The staff there were both friendly. They ended up chatting with me most of the time since when I stopped by it wasn't busy with the crowds. I also learned they do have food truck offerings at events at Hyder Park on select days, too! Just the only things I wished they had some other things like guava cake and mochiko chicken that I really missed too though!

    When I first moved here to Albuquerque, NM, I was so excited to find there was a Hawaiian place…read morehere and my friend from church, also from Hawai'i, brought me a plate lunch of my favorite chicken katsu. It was awesome and made just right! So why the 2 stars??? It started off with so much potential, then quickly went downhill. I was happy to see they offered delivery, and so I ordered and looked forward to some ono grinds (good food). When I got the delivery and opened the container, my first reaction was "WHAAAAAATTT?????". This was NOT katsu! It was mushy chicken teriyaki-ish swimming in sauce, mac salad that was masquerading as local mac salad, and overall just a container of non-local food. It didn't taste goo either. I was told at the time that it was under new management, but even so, it should not have kicked its standards to the curb. I was afraid to eat their food after that. If you are going to advertise yourself as a Hawaiian food place, make sure you got the goods. We locals know the difference.
