I go to the website and find something I like, I sign up and show up. I like open paint days too so I can pick whatever I want to do. I had my birthday party there and we had a wide range of ages and everyone really enjoyed it. I like that the kids can come and not have to deal with alcohol. The canvases or stenciled, so my painting usually looks great when I'm done!

I called to inform them about an error and the snotty woman made it sound like I'm the one who's wrong, by being on the wrong website?! Then she says there's more than one Tablao Flamenco in Albuquerque... total f'n B.S.!!!!! Get your head outta your ass & be better especially for the dumbass prices & terrible food & horrible service. I've been going there since it opened & it's been going downhill every time I go.

During our 2 plus years at this theatre my daughter has participated in multiple winter shows at the theatre and two recitals at KIMO theater. This year my daughter added Modern Dance and loves it as much as her ballet class. I'd recommend this theater to anyone young or old.

For just a $5 reservation, you can secure a table online--well worth it, because this has become a popular evening. There's an opening set that starts around 6:30-7:00 p.m., followed by an open jam session, and the musicians are outstanding. The best part? You don't have to choose between being an artist or a music lover. You can sip and paint while enjoying the live jazz, or simply settle in, enjoy the music, and watch talented local musicians take the stage. It's a creative, welcoming atmosphere that makes for a memorable Monday night.

Our first mimosa for this event was free and there were several other different kinds of wine and snacks for sale (their food truck is open more so during the evening classes and there's a nice patio to sit at). There were several in the class that you could tell have done this a lot, as there were several occasions where I felt like I was a little behind. It was a fun class and think it'd be fun to do another one 2024 #68

That's how I understand this market got going, anyway. One of the founders reluctantly left Seattle because she had kids, and when she came back to Burque, she realized we needed an evening market. A Moonlight Market. And she didn't let the Voices tell her No. There's a sign at the sign-in desk that says something like "Don't quit your day dream." Bingo. Michelle didn't. Hence, the opening season of the Market wasn't anything spectacular. It ended just before Halloween and plans to reopen in April. It's an artist collective, say 6-8 booths, maybe a face painter, outdoors, with twinkly lights, operating Thursday through Saturday, 6-10pm. There are arts and crafts classes indoors, as well, really affordably priced. Located in the heart of the Brewery district, this Market absolutely makes sense. Here's an idea: let's get people up, outside, walking around, connecting, supporting local artists, bringing their kids, creating beautiful things. Cool. It's right next to Skarsgard Farms, and it's totally worth a moonlight stroll.

This event was pretty amazing…read more As I walked into the Star center, I was greeted with a wonderful array of aromas and smiling faces. It was hard to keep my inner child at bay and not run around from booth to booth trying absolutely everything... but overall, it worked out just fine. Highlights: Street Food truck, Turtle Mountain Brewery, Cheesy Street and Cazuelas. Street food truck had so many delicious little entrees. My favorite had to be the tempura soft taco. So many new and savory flavors all in one mouthful. Turtle Mountain Brewery had an AMAZINGLY mouth watering bacon Mac 'N Cheese and even more wonderfully paired craft brew to boot. Cheesy Street. The name says it all. So many deliciously unique grilled cheeses smothered with all things heavenly... then complimented with a smooth and creamy tomato bisque... What more can you ask for? Oh, man... what can I say about Cazuelas... the food here was nothing short of intensely flavorful and prepared with the utmost care. Tamales, beans, rice and sopapillas all wonderfully seasoned and extremely appealing to my every tastebud. While I appreciated the attendance of the fast food chains present at this event (Little Caesars and Baskin Robbins) I made it a point to venture elsewhere to get a more authentic "Taste of Rio Rancho" ... and I must say, I was not dissatisfied. All in all, I came in hungry and left with a happy and full belly. Knowing the area a little better for future food adventures made it all the better. I look forward to what will happen next year! If you are looking for a truly well-rounded foodie experience with all the fun and social interactions of a small scale festival, then this is the right place for you. Bon Appetit!

Turtle Mountain Brewery gets my vote for the amazing Mac and Cheese. Spice with green chile and of course BACON! They did it right with chaffing dishes and hot boxes to ensure a good showing. A solid team working the event to make you feel that taking all three samples isn't a bad thing. Second place was the Grilled Cheese Truck. Such and easy item so impressing a crowd is hard to do. They also have a nice bread pudding that is worth a try. The Fat Squirrel also showed well. A friendly staff mixed with a shepherd's pie is a win. The melty cheese on top didn't get greasy which can be a hard task. Overall, this is a good time for families and singles alike.

What makes this exhibit especially powerful is its voice.

That authenticity comes through in a way that is both educational and deeply personal.

BEST OF THE CITY 2018!…read more Every year waiting, waiting, waiting . . . . Albuquerque has so much to offer - and almost all of it GREAT! - that it is hard to fathom how the trolls decide what is the "Best." As we all sit anxiously on the edge of our bar stools waiting for this year's issue to be dropped, we speculate . . . best vineyard? best Indian restaurant? best car wash? best breakfast burrito? best art gallery? best bar? best coffee house? Waiting, waiting, waiting. . . . and then the Launch Party is announced. Clear that calendar! Albuquerque The Magazine Launch Party is here! Lots of folks with their heads in magazines? At first the food and drink are ignored. No one has a friendly "hi, how are you?" to friends and acquaintances . . . . "What page is the 'Best Live Theater Venue' on?" Page 148. "What page is the 'Best Sopaipilla' on?" Page 109 "What page is the 'Best Local Band' on?" Page 161. A wealth of info voted on by the readers of Albuquerque The Magazine in 280 categories! YES! 280. No wonder so many of the Launch Party's guests had their heads in this BEST OF THE CITY 2018 issue. I did finally get a glass of wine and a few tidbits to eat . . . and found my Yelp friends . . . but I was anxious to head home, put my feet up and just devour this new 2018 issue. It is the BEST one yet! Oh, and the Launch Party was great guys!
