Still stand by that all Better Call Saul fans should visit, but the second time I visited I wasn't impressed with what I got. Something like a mangonada? but the mango sorbet had that frozen icy texture all throughout. Also one day I expected them to be open at 6 pm because of the business hours posted here but they were closed. That was a bummer. Good service though.

My girlfriend and I got funneled into this place due to a lack of time and options. That's unfortunate to say, but in all honesty I'm glad it happened. Otherwise, my chances of ever trying this spot, were most likely a zero. It's a cute little spot off of isleta north of rio bravo a ways. A yellow building with parking along the side. Plenty of parking so come on in! They have a bunch of booths and tables and please sit where you like! The place is very neat and clean too, with a big tv at the end of the room. There were two other tables being waiting on as we came in which is always a good sign to me. We had to wait a bit before service, but turns out the day we make a visit, they were short handed, so the guy waiting on us was also our cook, and would also be our cashier when we were done. Ha! Poor guy! You know what though, he did a good job. The food came out in a decent time and everything had that real homemade flavor too it. We ordered burritos. Asada and a Chicharrone burritos to be exact. They were both served with beans and rice on the side. Althought I am pretty sure it all normally comes in the burrito but he asked us how we wanted it and put it on the side for us. I can't forget to mention the salsa and chips. Chips of course were basic and the salsa looked basic enough, but it has a good flavor and spice to it. We gladly finished the rest of it on our burritos. They service was good, considering the circumstances. The food was good too. I will gladly come back for another lunch trip. They have chilaquiles on the menu, which I been wanting to try maybe I will do it here? Next time, next time my friend.

Better call Saul filmed here! Free salsa and chips. The red salsa is really hot! And really good! Ordered Ceviche & Caldo de Res. Both were very good with very large portions. See the photos. The portions were so huge we needed to go boxes. This is in the heart of Albuquerque south west valley. The real old part of town. The waitress was very nice answering our questions about the food and about the filming. Turns out they install a fake wall by the ice cream counter. That's where Lalo was cooking. Overall a really good experience. I highly recommend.

Chilaquiles with Red

If you love Better Call Saul, this place is great for breakfast or lunch. Ordered the Chilaquiles... awesomeness. Perfect combo in the morning. Service was very friendly, and she was also very attentive. Loved to see the place filmed for the show, and enjoyed the food, too.

GO HERE!! It's AMAZING!! It's REAL Mexican food. Not chicano, not Tex mex, not Mexican American, it's MEXICAN. It was absolutely delicious. We had shrimp cocktail. Yum! Chilaquiles red... perfect and delicious. Tacos de lengua. SOOOO GOOD. Chips were really really good. Salsa was spicy! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

This ice cream spot deserves nothing else but 5 stars! What a wonderful place to try out smal batch…read morehome made ice cream from this shop! The owners/staff were so friendly and helpful. They even let me sample some flavors that I was deciding between as well. I meant..it was just so hard to decide which ones to get...since I only have limited spacec in my stomach..but so many more enticing flavors to choose from! I settled with a double scoop: a green chile pinon scoop and a cran (berry rose)mary scoop. Dang..the scoops were big and generous..and the taste were so wonderful! I especially loved the green chile pinon. It does have some spicy kick to it..but wow...so unique and I loved it so much that the next time I'm going to have this scoop and try another wonderful flavor! Lots of parking in the lot. The space was clean ans welcoming! I just cannot wait to stop by again. Even today..I debated whether I should stop by for the second day in a row..but..hey..I have to try to be good and not have lots of awesome icecream when my new year's resolution (which I will likely fail) is to have more self restraint on eating yummy food!

My favorite part was probably the house-made waffle cones, which come in a vanilla bean and blue corn variety. The store packs a lot of treats into a small space, and there is ample outside seating.

After visiting a few of the other stores we made our way over to La Choco Salty & Sweet to grab a quick sweet to eat and support a local shop. From the outside it looks like just a chocolate shop, but the sweets section is just a small area up front and the rest of the store is tourist type products to buy like clothing, knick-knacks, etc. The sweets area is cute, they have a little cafe type area set up for a few people to sit and they have all the chocolates on display. Most of the treats look pretty good, but the prices are a bit high for some of the things. We generally enjoy grabbing a few truffles when visiting sweet spots like this so we selected four truffles to try. They do not have clear pricing in the case for the truffles nor do they provide any kind of hint to what is inside of some of them aside from the name of the truffle. I had asked the woman working what was inside one or two of them and she seemed annoyed I asked. We ended up getting the four we picked out anyway, and I was kind of bummed afterward. Not only were they $3+ EACH but they tasted like they had sat in the display case for several days. They were a bit hard, stale and didn't really have a lot of flavor to them so I was a little upset we had spent about $17 here on five things of chocolate that weren't really anything to write home about.
