    I LOVE THIS PLACE SO MUCH! The best Mexican food truck in Albuquerque in my opinion. This place is underrated in terms of Yelp reviews, but seems like a popular place among the local Mexican community. I got the tinga and asada sopes, and chicharron and pastor quesadillas. I have tried all the meats and the best meats in my opinion is asada and chicharron. Don't get me wrong all the meats are delicious and so juuuicy but these just stood out to me. Chicharron on the fattier side but I love it, especially with the green salsa which cuts through the fat because of its acidity, and the asada got a good meat flavor. There's a little cart next to it selling snacks and drinks. I got myself a large horchata and spicy Cheetos elotes.

    Just driving down Carlisle on a late Friday night and happened to spot large groups and long lines at this taco truck. Boyfriend and I ordered al pastor and carne tacos, and waited an extensively longgg amount of time for our food, but the wait was SO worth it. Both meats were tasty and tender, and we devoured them quickly. My poorly taken photo doesn't even do the tacos justice. I'll be going back with plenty of cash in hand for more tacos and to try the elote!

    Good food. One of our goto places. Go early as they sometimes run out of certain items.

    El Mero Mero has become my favorite food truck in Abq. Usually a bit of a wait after ordering, but highly worth it. 10/10!

    This was great food from a rather unassuming looking little food truck in an old gas station.

    Everything from top to bottom was excellent. My inlaws live in Placitas and we brought our young…read moreadult sons to visit. One of our sons has Celiac and is very sensitive. It's difficult to find good restaurants that can cater to young adults and have REALLY good food and service. We came first on Sunday for brunch. The food was very good. It was a bit small on the portions though. We had breakfast enchiladas and omelet and blue corn pancakes. Then we came back for dinner. The chicken mole was divine, tacos, sea bass, pork steak etc. absolutely perfect. Good portions. Food tastes like it was homemade. The cuisine is Mexican...not New Mexican. The server was great about answering any questions and willing to omit something if possible. Our server was attentive and so gracious. The wine list was surprisingly good. We had a French Viognier for less than $50. Finally the owner came out to talk to us and thanks us for coming. I'm in the business and haven't had this kind of service for a long time. Our son with Celiac was very satisfied, but also we all were. I would absolutely come back regardless of food restrictions. Please go!!

A extra special bonus is the restaurant is gluten free. The dining is pleasant and the ambiance was colorful and upbeat. Will definitely go back!

The property seems massive and it's really beautiful with all the cottonwood trees. When you get into the restaurant, there are just tons of combinations of these cozy little nooks, long dining tables, separated rooms, patio seating, and event spaces. There is something to see everywhere you look; fountains, fireplaces, and plants, hanging chiles, and more. They even raise cattle and chickens on property and source from their own greenhouse for their menu items. The ambience was just really cool and even though the winds were blowing like crazy, we were totally comfortable out in the patio section with the screens up. The food is authentic New Mexican cuisine. They brought out delicious tortilla chips for us to snack on while we decided on what to order. It really felt like there was no wrong choice to make. They were very accommodating for food allergies and restrictions. There was great flavor in everything our group tried. I split the half order of chicken nachos and it was a hefty half order! I was so stuffed, but then, hot sopapillas appeared and I couldn't say no to those! Especially not since the tables had their own sourced honey. There is also a full tequila bar, but since we were traveling with kids, didn't get to take too much advantage of that as an option. I wish we would've had more to explore the property but if I end up back in the Albuquerque area, I'll stop by again.

The good: The red chile rubbed ribs are phenomenal, but 1/2 rack for $44?! It's not a lobster tail. Beans and guac-excellent, calabacitas-very good. The chicken enchiladas-delicious with tender chicken. The bad: 2 Grand Gold margaritas at $15 each that were neither grand or gold. I've had better house margaritas at Applebees, lol. Their red chile was sparse, but that actually turned out in my favor because it was on the edge of burnt. A bit acrid. The sopas were dense, flat, chewy, and overcooked. The salsa-underwhelming. If you want excellent Grand Gold margaritas, the best salsa in New Mexico, and excellent portion sizes- SADIE'S ALL THE WAY!!!
