    Chef Spilca

    Chef Spilca and his crew are amazing. I needed to book a food truck for a staff event and this gentleman agreed to work with us. He even provided a meatless option for our staff who don't eat meat! The food and service were on point. You can tell that the Chef and his team love what they do, and we appreciate them for it. What an awesome team serving delicious food with a smile! Wishing you all the best, Desert Sky on the Fly!!

    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!

Now you get it. This is that, but in a food truck! I got the NY strip steak, with chicken on the side for my 2 year daughter ($29). My partner got the tofu hibachi ($18). This came out to about $50 total. You may be thinking- WOW that's a lot of money. Let me tell you, they give you a TON of food. And not just any food, fresh good quality food. Each hibachi bowl comes with fresh veggies and your choice of white or fried rice-- and if you get fried rice expect that it's cooked fresh on that flame in their truck. They do it exactly as you would expect in a restaurant. So while it did take about 15 minutes to get our food (we were the 2nd folks in line for the day) it would take MUCH longer at a hibachi-style restaurant (hours if you think about it). There was so much food in my bowl I had a whole extra meal the next day that I warmed up in my wok. Now, my partner on the other hand doesn't get quality tofu, and he inhaled his whole plate while we were at the food-truck-park. The tofu was crispy, the rice was fuego, and the veggies were fresh! If you're looking for QUALITY food from a food truck, cuts of meat that are not the "scraps" but the whole prime cut, if you're looking for friendly ladies cooking you a meal that goes the distance than this IS the place. ... and there is a reason this sells out early every day. It's in high demand! I give this 11/10... above and beyond! Ps: I wish I had kept the pictures of the tofu and chicken, for my daughter it was a lot- we even shared with the dog when we got home... and for the tofu it was so supremely cooked. We all ate good!

    Note: Nomad BBQ is no longer at the Rio Grande Blvd sticks 'n bricks location if you, like me…read morebefore an extended road trip, last dealt with him there. Theo's operating in food truck mode only now. He mentioned being at the yellow & blue HappyDaze Cannabis building across from the Maverik gas station on Jefferson St NE at junction of I-25 and Jefferson. I'm unsure of what days & hours. Give him a call to get the "who, what, when, where, why, & how" for his location on any given day. However, I must say that Nomad BBQ is still providing *excellent* Texas style BBQ of exceptional tastiness at very economical prices, given the high quality of the food. If you see their truck anywhere around town, stop in, chow down, and smile ... smile ... smile ... at all the wondrous gustatorial nirvana you've just indulged in. Hands down, killer good BBQ! Everything I said in my previous review still stands. Of special note, besides the extremely good food, is the gregarious, outgoing, and hyper friendly personality that positively shines out of Mr Theo. One of the most convivial food vendors in town. Period!

You can tell he is passionate and love sharing his bbq with his customer. His signature meat? He mentioned the pulled pork meat and the brisket! The side worthy of trying (although Theo himself doesn't like coleslaw himself? The pineapple coleslaw...based on my brief discussion with another local customer I met onsite! I personally found that the price/value for the amount and quality of food Nomad's bbq provides is well worth it. I had a pulled pork sandwich (plus a bit of brisket and the 2 sides that I couldn't resist trying to save for my next meal) and thought the meat was smokey, jiving and so scrumptious...and this is coming from someone who normally doesn't eat so much meat like myself! Overall, I really like that Theo seems passionate about making the food that he serves. Plus, it doesn't hurt that this bbq type of food tastes so good..and is so rare to find ABQ, too.

Last Friday, I came in to eat with my girlfriend on our date night and was amazed at how much hadn't changed with the decor and interior, in a good way! It was exactly like I remembered it, fish tank and all, and I was very nostalgic from the get go. We wanted to get the app sampler but it didn't have the option to come with onion rings so we ordered the Spinach dip and the Onion Rings on their own. Both were fantastic choices! Very flavorful and great texture for both! We also ordered the Presidente Sangria and their most popular drink, the Painkiller. The presidente tasted more like strawberry lemonade with a slight alcohol aftertaste, so expect it to be very sweet. The painkiller was great for me, but I can see it being a very strong drink to a lot of people, it was for my girlfriend and she was fine with one or two sips max. For dinner she ordered the beer battered Fish and Shrimp platter and asked for Fries and coleslaw as her sides. She absolutely loved it, and the tartar sauce and cocktail sauces were absolutely delicious. She said it was the Best coleslaw she's ever had and wants it to be a permanent choice for her side when we come back. I ordered the New Orleans Pasta and was also very happy with my choice! Where Her food was bright, citrusy and full of texture, my dish was smoky, deep and rich as a good pasta dish should be. The sausages and shrimp were great and the chicken was a little on the dry side but I will say it made up for it in flavor. Everything totaled to just below $75, which is a great price point for us after getting two appetizers, two entrees and two cocktails. We took the leftovers home and enjoyed it even more the next day. Our server was great too, I didn't catch his name but he was attentive and always relayed any delays from the kitchen and kept us updated on anything if we were still waiting. Top tier service and food, we can't wait to come back!
