Flipflops Beach Grub - Steak asada tacos , no queso - Food Stands Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

My first time here, we visited on a Monday afternoon. Ample amounts of parking. It wasn't too busy during lunch, but I may be wrong. There are a ton of other places I'm sure people visit during lunch time. Today was a good day. Got inside and explored the different types of eateries that they offered there. We had never visited any of these so it was hard to choose. Today, we tried On the Flip/Flip Flops. The food was good, some more than the other dishes that we tried. You order your food and then they give you a number and ask where you are sitting. We found a spot inside of the Santa Fe Brewery area and sat in there. Just in case you're wondering, they cook in soybean oil. This is always something I ask before I dine at eateries I've never eaten at before. We ordered the following: Carne Asada taco, Carne Adovado taco, Buffalo Chicken Mac and the Aloha Yard Bird. The tacos were tasty, full of flavor. They are street sized tacos so don't expect it to be a big taco. Two will feed one person for sure! The Aloha Yard Bird was actually moist, since most chicken sandwiches can be dry. This was not dry at all. It was a good sized burger/sandwich. Served on a bun with swiss cheese, grilled pineapple, teriyaki chili aioli. The burger was good, not full of flavor as I would have hoped it to be. I added the fries, but the serving of fries wasn't that much on the plate. The Buffalo Chicken Mac... looks can be deceiving! But this was in a good way! What can I say, it was a pretty good tasting buffalo chicken on top of mac and cheese. It was already appetizing on the menu board. It's hard to find a place that offers that true buffalo sauce flavor. Since, I'm so used to my favorite buffalo wing place in California. Sorry, don't judge me. Haha! But that dish, I'd get again! My experience overall at this eatery was good. Maybe I'll get the fish tacos the next time I visit. Customer service was good too. The cashier was very helpful in our decision making of the food that I chose. read more

We stopped in for lunch at Tin Can Alley on a Sunday and decided to try Flipflops Beach Grub. We ordered the Aloha Yard Bird with the Green Bean Fries, the Burqueño Burger, and the Hatch Chile Cheese Fries to split. The burger was charred/overcooked and the fries were very salty. The Aloha Yard Bird Sandwich was yummy and the pineapple stole the show. The Green Bean Fries were good, but way too much breading for my liking. All in all, the food was decent but we would eat else in Tin Can Alley before having FlipFlops Beach Grub again. read more

I've been eager to hit up Tin Can Alley and was craving a good cheeseburger and this did not disappoint! I'll just review this stand here, but so many reasons to try all of the other places. The menu is fairly simple-tacos, burgers, fries, and other snacks. Nearly everyone my group ate here so we tried quite a few things. My burger was perfect. It was well seasoned and cooked. The burger lived up to its name: The Juicy. Sometimes the meat gets lost under everything but not here. Simple toppings of cheese, lettuce and tomato and a little ketchup. Delicious! The sweet potato fries were crispy and had the perfect amount of crunch. The regular fries were good, too. But I'm a fan of the sweet potato fries for sure. My friends tried a few of the tacos (brisket and fish) as well as the chips and queso. Not going to lie, I stole a few chips because that queso was really good. It had the flavor of real cheese and a kick from the peppers. I can see why you may want it on a burger! The place gets pretty packed so I imagine it may be hard for the food runners to find you. I read a few comments about wait times, but in the height of lunch rush, we had our food in about 20 minutes. I'm sure most places here are still working out the kinks after only being open a week....so give this place a try if it's what you are in the mood for. And if Tom is on the burger station, don't hesitate to dive in! No flop for me at Flipflops. All flip! read more

I tend to forget how great the food at Flip-flops really is. The burgers are cooked perfectly and the fries are incredible. The people taking your order are always nice and the food comes out quickly. The atmosphere in 'Tin Can' as it's locally called is like a more comfortable version of a Starbucks. So I suppose the only thing keeping this place from being five stars is that it's so hard to remember that it's great. Maybe a couple more visits will cement it in my mind. read more

Wanted some tacos so we decided to get "on the flip" while at Tin Can Alley. We ordered a variety of tacos, a frito pie and some sweet potato tots. The tacos were disappointing. They did not have much flavor, fell apart very easy (only one tortilla) and they were served with a salsa comparable to pace. The frito pie was okay, not bad, but not great. The sweet potato tots were pretty good. A little sweeter than expected. Place wasn't bad, I just don't know if I would order it again. Maybe if the other food stands were closed. read more

They call these wings? No clarification if it's boneless or bone in. I was told that 10 pieces come with the price of $9. read more

Got the steak asada tacos they were dry. I thought via website a side of queso instead it was supposed to be on the tacos. Never found it and I was not about to go back the second time to correct my order. Should have went to the Cuban place always good and way better. read more

Well the service was good and there was a good selection of food to choose from. Ordered the Flip Burger and asked for it to be cooked well-done. When it arrived, it was raw. Seriously, open the burger and there is raw friggin meat. Had to walk it back down to have them hit it agin on the stove. When it finally came back, it was still pink on the inside. Hhhhh.......is cooking a burger really so hard? Anyway, unsure if we will go back. read more

Visited this place for a lunch break. I was in the mood for a burger, which looks great, but the chicken sandwich caught my eye. The cashier was friendly and nice as she told me that sandwich is her favorite thing on the menu. The food was out quickly (faster than my wife's salad at a neighboring eaterie). I thought the sandwich was very good. Not too big, but not small. The chicken had a distinct grilled taste that made it. The pineapple is a nice touch. I enjoyed it quite a bit. The fries are the frozen variety and were nothing to write home about, but not a deal breaker. On a previous visit, I had the Grilled Chicken Caesar salad and it was excellent. Again, the chicken tasted distinctly grilled, which is nice. Would I eat here again? Absolutely. I usually eat a Cubano at the place two counters down, but this sandwich will be a competitor. read more

I have to be pretty moved to give a bad rating, after a night of sleep I'm still irritated about the Mac and Cheese. Particularly I ordered the Flaming hot Mac and Cheese. It's over cooked noodles (which means soggy and floppy) basking over some sort of soupy liquid at the bottom of the bowl with some chopped up jalapeño and crushed bright right substance sprinkled on it. Cheese was nowhere to be found. 9 bucks is 9 bucks. Order if you want to experience the miracle of actually butchering Mac and Cheese. read more

This is a good looking menu. Everything on it sounds great. But the execution isn't exactly what you expect. We had the Bacon Street Corn mac n cheese. The noodles were soggy (very overcooked) and the onion in this dish overpowered all other flavors. Otherwise the cheese consistency was good. If they can overcome these two issues I love the concept. We also had the Buffalo wings. The sauce is yummy, but the wings are...chicken nuggets? So again, I just felt like expectations vs reality had some match up issues. A very cool concept menu that needs some tweeking. read more

Was pretty excited to try this place and ordered the Pelican, Adovada on the Beach, and Papaya Fish Tacos. The bottled water I received which was pulled from the fridge was still room temperature. The food took about 30 minutes to come out. When I received all 3 of my tacos they were cold, like they were pulled from the refrigerator cold. I would have sent them back but by this time they had a line and I was starving. The Pelican taco was still pretty tasty despite its temp. The Fish Taco was bland and not very good. The asada taco was the coldest and I didn't even try it. I wasn't pleased, but I'll blame it on the craziness of corona haha. I plan to return and hope this was a one-off experience. read more

The menu sounded tasty but the experience was unfortunate. Not sure how iced tea gets gooey, but it was. We had the bacon mac n cheese and avocado burger with fries. Burger was overdone and dry, cheese wasn't melted, mac n 5 cheese was cold, sloppy and just tasted like regular velvets and not a "5cheese blend", overall nothing notable here and definitely not worth the price @ ~25$. read more

Disappointed in the cold, uncooked frozen food. It laterally is like eating from a beach food truck, no thanks!

Burger was bad. The patty was way over done, so dry and you could taste the char on it. The bun was as bad or worse. The bun was also dry, old, not soft, just bad. Sometimes I wonder if cooks taste their own food, I support all local business so it is sad when a local guy fails. The french frys were also cold. I am not a fan at all. Too bad. read more

Great little spot in tin can alley! Burgers are really good and they have some unique combinations. The chicken taco with elote is really good. The fries weren't our favorite but they weren't bad by any means. The staff is really fast and we got our order right away. Definitely will be back! read more

Not a great experience. We had the Burqueño burger, which was pretty much just a green Chile cheese burger. Only difference from others was that they used white American cheese. The cheese and the good green Chile was necessary to cover up the burnt bland burger. Our kids had the kids cheeseburgers and fries, we ordered our daughters with pickles. She got no pickles and even though they both loved their fries, the both took one bite out of their burnt burgers and refused to touch them. read more

I was excited to try this burger place, but was disappointed. I normally don't do Unser 5 star reviews, but I hope this place gets better for their take out customers. I ordered to go. My burger is dry, under crooked, tasteless and had no sauce. Also, the fries did come with a ketchup packet but were soggy. I waited too long to get my food as well. For $13, I should have gone to Chili's for the 3 for $9. Darn! Maybe they will get better. Also, the bottle tea they gave me was warm! I'll stick it in the fridge for awhile. It seemed they had a full staff and it wasn't busy. I really do hope this place does gets better. It's such a cute idea and place. read more

**this review was originally shared on the tin can alley place, as flipFLOP didn't have a page when I initially reviewed. Great atmosphere but unfortunately the food, or the Flip Flops place anyway, was a total bust. Not only did I wait 30 min for tacos-- mind you, there was no long line BUT even still, they managed to take that long to slap together the WRONG ORDER OF TACOS. I had high hopes for this place, ordering one taco of each of the adovada, the dude (asada), and some bbq brisket taco. As I was becoming restless, I saw them putting together the order, so that eased the pain of having to wait that long for my food. You'd think since I had witnessed the assembly of said tacos, they'd at least be 'hot' off the grill--Literally. BUT somehow they managed to give me cold a*$ tacos, fresh off the grill. I just couldn't understand how the tacos could have come off the grill cold. I was sincerely puzzled. I couldnt do much when I realized the tacos were cold since It was a to-go order. I proceeded to start with the adovada and could see olives sprinkled on top, even though I explixitely said 'no olives'. I tried to overlook the mistake, anyone could have easily forgotten. But then the level of iritation started again when I noticed I had two identical tacos side by side. I thought-- impossible! Because I ordered one of each. So even though I had never eaten here before, I knew there was no way two tacos with two completely different names could look that similar. But the adovada was good, So I tried to overlook that as well. The cuts of meat for the adovada were perfect. The chunks of meat were cut just right, not too big or too small, or too shredded. It was spicy, and I enjoyed it as i chuckled at the fact that the girl at the counter who took my order couldn't pronounce 'adovada'. BUT then, I bite into the second taco, expecting the taste of brisket since I am 100% percent sure it wasn't the asada taco I had originally ordered...but instead I get fish. At this point I'm thinking FISH?!? WTF! Couldn't possibly get it more wrong. What's worse is that the order was repeated back to me TWICE! UTTERLY DISAPPOINTING. GET IT TOGETHER, FLIP FLOPS!!! I definitely do not plan on returning. Lucky for me, the other places at tin can alley seem like great alternatives read more

Ordered two carne asada tacos, three bottles of water and a bowl of chips and queso. For $24, you expect a higher quality of food. The tacos did not taste good. Asked for the crema on the side, and they poured it over both tacos. They were mediocre at best. The chips were dry and gritty. The bottles of water were the best thing we got from there. Definitely won't be eating there again. read more

Food was barely ok. Ordered well done burger but got rare. Fries were bad. No napkins, forks, mustard or ketchup. Service was terrible and unresponsive! To top it off, they overcharged by $10. We ordered and left a very generous tip. When the waitress brought our food to our table, we asked for fork, ketchup and mustard + napkins. Waited for good ~10 minutes. When we went back to the counter, the same waitress was just sitting there and was totally callous and indifferent. Not even acknowledging that she forgot. BTW, we were the only ones (i.e., it was not crowded). Lazy, inconsiderate, incompetent waitress. Upon careful review, we find that we were overcharged by ~$10 on a ~$25 order. read more

I visited this venue when it first opened and wasn't that impressed but tried it again tonight and it was delicious. Ordered several tacos the adobada and fish tacos and they were perfectly cooked and just the right size. Also shout out to the cook who let me order even though they were closing up and the customer in front of me was supposed to be their last order. I'll definitely be visiting again. read more

Everything was way too salty! My son and i had the eggplant burger, green chili cheese bacon fries and hit wing Mac n cheese The fries were salty alone and was with the queso. The boneless chicken wings on the Mac n cheese are mostly breading and over cooked. We didn't Finnish the fries or Mac n cheese because if the salt! read more

Okay. The customer service is bad. You should have a way for your costumers to contact you rather than just call them. A better system would be a complicated system pullies and levers to deliver your food. Unimpressed and really annoyed. Be better. There was a huge issue of where to park to pickup your food. And no form of proper communication at all. If you want a great burger I suggest Steel bender rather than this place great beer and food with awesome service. read more
