The Figgy was so delicious! Cooked perfectly and the tortilla wrap was a surprising twist instead of a bun. We sat in a sunny window in the brewery enjoying a pint and burger and it was bliss. Highly recommended! read more

Really wanted to like it, got both crunch-wraps and they were both very underwhelming, the beef and bean definitely a little better but both lacked flavor. Not a fan. read more

Checked the reviews before we went and Leah was all up in arms about how spicy it was. Got a Beef Bean Crunchwrap and it was excellent. About as spicy as typical Mexican food, like a splash of Tapatio on scrambled eggs. Staff was smiley, friendly, and made polite conversation with us. The view from inside the brewery where we sat was very pretty, seeing the snow on all the trees really gives a winter wonderland vibe. Don't let the review of a Karen with the palate of a five year old dissuade you from checking this place out. read more

Blue Ristra - Hatch Green Chili's!!!! So happy to have stopped by! - Food Trucks Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Stopped into Girdwood Brewing for a snack and some beer after a day of cross country skiing. They always have phenomenal food trucks and today was no different. Grabbed a shredded pork slammer and the truffle oil and parm fries. The two women who were working the truck were super helpful in describing the different options. The truck was super clean and all the items that were currently on the line being made looked great. Will definitely be back and can't wait to try the other slammer options! read more

Blue Ristra - a plate of fries and a glass of beer - Food Trucks Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

New Mexican cuisine in Alaska, can you believe it?! This may be the only place in the state serving such food. It's often posted up in the Girdwood Brewing parking lot, which is where I found it. I'm now regretting that I didn't take a picture of the menu. Both because I don't remember the name of what I had, and because I want ya'll to see why I had a tough time picking. The menu is very unique. I went with what amounted to a fancy burger with fancy cheese but served...in a tortilla instead of on a bun. It was mighty tasty, I just wish I were a bit mightier in its hunger-busting ability. Would love to go back and try their other options. read more

See all

Visited from out of town. Full disclosure of exactly how spicy their food is would have been really nice to know. We walked up, looked at the menu, ordered food. No where was it blatantly obvious it was a "spicy food truck". One could assume chile means spicy, but I didn't not assume it was melt my face off level of spicy. I had to throw mine away, my friend gave hers away. I was so confused as to how I missed that key information. I went back and looked at the menu, and again, there is nothing obvious to warn against the level of heat. Please update your menu to disclose that the item is spicy. A pepper icon next to the item even. My friend and I both wasted our money on food we couldn't enjoy due to either (yes, maybe) our misunderstanding, or the menus lack of description. Either way, it's an easy fix if you care. read more

The food was incredible! Didn't get to take a picture because it was gone very quickly! Great service great location at Girdwood brewing sitting by the fire while our food was prepped! Perfect food in a beautiful setting! Thanks for the suggestion on the figgy it was the bomb and my hubby loved the wurst! 5 stars! Worth the stop! read more

Maybe this place is good, but based off the one menu item I tried, I was not impressed. I ordered their version of Taco Bell's crunch wrap. It did resemble a crunch wrap, however I much prefer Taco Bell's $6 version which tastes better than Blue Ristra's $12 remake. Additionally, when I asked the cashier what was in the wrap, she never mentioned beans. BTW I hate beans, and there were SO many beans in the wrap, it was overwhelming. It was also bland and lacked good flavor. So, that is my review of Blue Ristra. I kind of blame them for not adequately describing what I was getting when I asked. Had they told me the wrap was loaded with beans, or mentioned the word "chili" I would have avoided ordering it, but they didn't. On the plus side, the brewery next door is very good. read more

I ate here while the truck was located at Girdwood Brewery. The limited menu is based around interesting twists on Mexican dishes. I had the green chili tortilla burger, which hit the spot. The truffle fries are quite good as well. read more

Just stopped there and wasn't feeling it. I had the chicken slammer and it had no flavor at all. It wasn't seasoned, very bland and needed to be cooked longer. read more

Amazing food! I got the fries and they were cooked to perfection. Perfectly located right outside the brewery and satisfies you're hunger. However, they did have hot sauce on the counter that I couldn't resist. When I used it I put way too much on and ruined my food. read more

Food truck at its finest. We ordered three very different things and they were all distinct, fresh, creative and delicious. Order the Sasquatch Balls for a desert... you'll thank me. Ate here two days later. Equally as pleased. read more

One of the greatest food trucks I have ever eaten at. Hands down. First of all, the price is phenomenal for what you get. 6$ for a 1/4 pound of meat topped with fresh lettuce, avocado and tomato is incredible. The taste was also incredible, the "Tortilla Wrapped Burger" (which was what I had.) was extremely well seasoned and the veggies inside the burger/wrap was fresh and crunchy. Will be coming back again! read more

Blue Ristra - Frito pie and tortilla wrapped burger! Delicious!!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

The service and food was great! The truffle fries are good! They are a little spicy. The wraps are good too!

I am born and raised in New Mexico and now an Alaskan transplant. This place is the best of both worlds! The owner is fantastic and the food is heaven. I am so happy to have found this place. Definitely worth the drive for some fresh green chili! read more

Ate here last year and it was really good for a food "truck" especially if you appreciate New Mexican food. The brewery next door doesn't serve food but they let you eat inside. I hope they are still open when we go back! read more

Great at accommodating vegetarian. Super yummy. Quick food. Will come back to try the kimchi burger when I eat meat again. Grab a beer from girdwood brewing while you wait, perfect set up. read more

Blue Ristra - Breakfast Burrito, quesadilla - Food Trucks Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

Such an awesome place with delicious, unique options!! We were so impressed by what we got- the burger is DELICIOUS, and the frito pies are so fun/yummy! Would highly recommend while you're at Alyeska! read more

Food is legit. Had a burger, truffle fries, and the egg taco. Fried egg was cooked to perfection on both the egg taco and burger. Burgers are wrapped in a tortilla but that keeps the flavors in. read more

Yuummmmmmmmmmy! Dare I say more? Ok, I will! I am a self-claimed chili connoisseur. One of those broads who can tell when chili is canned or phoned in. Someone who loves a little kick and fresh flavors. Who knew I'd come to Girwood Brewing and experience SUCH delicious food? Blue Ristra is a food truck parked outside the delicious Girwood Brewery and I got the Frito pie, served in the Frito bag, like it should be. It has quality spice, a good kick, and just terrific flavor all around. My boyfriend got the green chili burger and fries. He raved about the tortilla wrap and the flavor. I snuck a few fries and they are delish. We'll be back to town for mountain biking season and can't wait to come back here. I'm going to be craving this food and beer combo for months! read more

We were looking for somewhere outside of the hotel to eat while visiting and found this place on yelp so we decided to give it a try. SO GOOD! We loved it and our kids loved it. Definitely recommend checking it out! read more

Great spin on the classic frito pie. Incredible. Melts in your mouth. "Fast food" that is cooked to order- fast!

I just tried a burger at the Blue Ristra in Girdwood. Excellent choice for a quick bite to eat. I thought it was a little weird at first that they prepare their burgers with a tortilla instead of a bun; but, it makes a lot of sense when you eat it. All of the juicy goodness is trapped neatly inside. Easy to eat and the flavors blend well for an amazing taste sensation. If you're in Girdwood stop by the Girdwood Brewery and enjoy the food truck. I confess that I hadn't tried it before because I don't drink beer. Homemade root beer and a great meal works for me. read more

We stopped by this place when it was parked outside the Girdwood Brewery. The owner was very accommodating and made us a "kids meal" that was a beef and cheese taquito. This was not on the menu and we were thrilled. My kiddo loved it. We followed it up with the hatch chile burger... and in one word, AMAZING! Most restaurants substitute anaheims for hatch chiles and people don't know the difference but I always notice. He doesn't do that and it was amazing. This is true New Mexican food here in Alaska. Highly recommend stopping here! read more

New Mexican food at its finest. The burgers are solid, the fries flavorful, the Frito pie a must have. The gentleman running the truck has a great mustache too. read more

Stopped at girdwood brewery and hands down Best Frito chili pie I have ever had, wow!!! Recommended highly.
