Great service, delicious pupusas--this was only the third time we've had pupusas, and I wasn't expecting them to be so big!! I couldn't even finish mine. Yummy agua fresca too. Pretty interior. read more

We stopped in for a quick lunch while on a tour of Old Town. We both had Aqua Fresca and Pupusa plates. Wow, the drink was very refreshing and the food was delicious. Service was basic, friendly, and fast. A very relaxed and laid back place with a great location. read more

Randomly walked in and am so happy I did!! Such incredible food, high quality, and the service was great.

I never leave reviews but this place was such an awesome surprise! I wondered by and there was awesome live music playing so I decided to check it out. Alix was so helpful and super helpful in helping me find something vegan on the menu. Black bean papusa plate was so good! A+! read more

It's been quite awhile since we've eaten here. It was great then, a homey atmosphere. It is better now. They've moved from a menu to a 5 course affair with reservations required - sorry no walkins. This keeps the crowd down providing intimacy for diners and ensuring an excellent experience. My favorite wasn't food at all - it was the ensalada juice (coconut, mango, guava, apple, & pineapple) with chamoy on the rims. My deepest appreciation to Nestor & crew for a delicious meal. If you don't make time to come here you are missing out on some great food! Of course additional reviews coming once we try their multi-course affair read more

We all LOVED this place and had to order another round of tacos! Daughter (age 9) said "best steak tacos I have ever had!!") we will definitely come back anytime in ABQ. Best Papusa ever had by Mom also :) read more

Mixed feelings about this place. Food four stars, really good. We had the taco plate $20 three small street tacos and chips and carnitas nachos small bowl $15. Both really good. But, in my opinion, the price was too expensive for what you get..2 stars. Nice people work there but service is lacking 2 stars. Smallest menu I've ever seen 2 stars. Pay and tip before you eat is what we had to do at the check in stand before you sit at your table. Stuff you do at fast food restaurants (although I don't usually tip at fast food restaurants) the server was nice but for his pre paid tip only delivered food, never saw him again and we had to get up and get our own water (we didn't order drinks because they only have cans no fountain drinks and If this was a place like chipotle or Zupas or something then I totally expect getting your own drinks etc.. 2stars) BUT cute decor, nice music, friendly owners, good food and looks pet friendly out on the patio brings it up to three stars. (3 out of 5 stars equals an average experience, in my opinion:) read more

This is restaurant serves the most delicious food! The atmosphere of the place is calm and inviting. There is also lots of nice outdoor as well as indoor seating. It's very cozy inside with a nice and inviting feeling. The patio in the back is very cute and cozy as well. read more

Nowhere does it say online on their website or on their doors that this place is by reservation only. Came here on Sunday with the doors locked. No signs. read more

Google and Yelp agreed they were open...they weren't. I know everyone is short staffed but if you're closing at least put a sign on the door. We were just in town for a few days so have no idea if they're still in business or not. The silver lining was a great little Mexican restaurant right up the street. read more

Coming back home I knew I wanted to eat good but wanted to see what new restaurants had been built since I left. Thankfully Yelp brought this place up! Gobble this is located in old town so the parking will be very scarce but there's always street parking on the outskirts. The place is nestled in between other shops but you can't miss the sign/you don't want to miss this place. Upon walking in the restaurant I was greeted right away by who I found out was the owner Nester. He was very friendly and answered all the questions my mother had lol. The inside is very spacious and decorated in traditional new Mexican style. The restaurant is considered café style soyou go up to the register order pay then they'll bring you the food out. I was fresh off of a flight and was extra hungry. I ordered the chips salsa and guacamole for the starter. It came up first and was so fresh and delicious I liked the hint of cucumber in the salsa. Also, it was not hot at all btw so if you like that you'll need to add some hot sauce. The next thing we ordered were the carnita, black bean and green chili pupusa's. Those were so good I can't even describe to you the depth of the flavors the beans were cooked perfectly. Like most pupusas it came with ensalada on the side, salsa, and crema oh and also yummy yucca fries that my mom could not stop raving over. We also ordered the Duke city pupusa it was absolutely delicious came with Carnitas on top cheese, pickled cabbage, salsa, creams,guacamole literally the works. This purchase came with a side of ensalada fruit juice it was perfection! Lastly we got the carne asada and carnitas tacos both came with chips and salsa. The flavors were absolutely amazing I favored the Carnitas taco because it had a little bit more heat. But everything was hands-down amazing made to order fresh deliciousness. I can't wait to go back and try the other items that were on the menu. read more

We did the reservation for a $100 five-course meal. Being the only people in the restaurant, with the full attention of the chef and two servers, was a lovely experience. They had set up two tables for us to choose from. They had a fridge with various waters, Fantas, sodas, and sweet drinks for us to choose from. A fantastic agua fresca came with one of the courses. The amount of food was perfect. The variety and taste was fantastic. The music they had on in the restaurant was very nice. I would highly recommend this experience! read more

Gobble This is a treasure here in our land of enchantment! Every time I visit, I leave with a full heart and belly. The food is phenomenal! I have a huge amount of respect for the way the cafe is run. The cover fee seems to be confusing to people, but keep an open mind! Small businesses have to do things differently to keep up with a changing world. This isn't a Starbucks experience, so keep your privilege in check. Side note: Don't be scared off by the negative reviews. Tourists like to trash the way business owners do things around here. read more

Gobble This - Salvadoran Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

If 50 stars was an option I'd give this place everyone of them. Food - 100% on point. The chef makes dishes and serves them with a blend of el Salvadorian flavors and southwest spice. This tasting menu will fill you up with dish after dish coming out of the kitchen at a comfortable pace. Drinks - each meal includes all your drinks so grab a beer or Santeria and settle in. It's going to be a great day. Games - they have a fun assortment of games to play while you eat. With the good music this is just a fun time. WORTH EVERY PENNY, seriously, you'll eat like kings and queens and drink till your heart desires. There's. A reason this place gets 5 starts from everyone. read more

I generally expect restaurants in tourist areas to be mediocre at best. I was surprised to find that Gobble This was excellent! From food, to staff, to wait times, everything deserves an A+. We enjoyed the vegetarian papusas. We sat in the back and chatted with the owner who is also the chef. I was pleasantly surprised to find the bathroom was exceptionally clean and even had tampons available. Highly recommended! read more

Five stars is five too few. This is an EXPERIENCE, not just a meal. Nestor is a magician. He is so passionate and prepares food so perfectly it is amazing! Cannot say enough about this place. Like going to your Grandmas and casually chatting while eating fantastic food. read more

The food was so good and the cook and owner lady was so nice to talk too! The ambiance was very cute as they were getting ready to celebrate day of the dead, too. read more

We showed up at noon when they were supposed to open. We were told they had one cook only and were "prepping." Said they'd be open by 12:30 pm. We passed the message on to 12 other diners who were all waiting outside the locked door. Absolutely NO customer service all. No acknowledgment of customers standing outside well past the delayed 12:30 pm open time. It was completely unprofessional. We finally left at 12:45 pm ... frustrated and hungry. They should respect their customers more and their reputation. I will never be back. read more

Amazing Salvadorian food! We stumbled into this place while walking around the Plaza. It had great reviews so we were excited to try the food. We ordered the Pupusas (bean and cheese, and cheese and spinach) and were impressed by their knowledge of gluten-free food prep. Both types of pupusas were delicious and the staff and owner was super friendly. Highly recommend! Note: double check hours since it's variable read more

Cool little hole-in-the-wall with some amazing food! The carnitas sliders were incredibly moist and the pickled cabbage added a nice crunch.

Tried this place for lunch in old town and really loved their food! They had a special menu for the balloon fiesta so did not have the pupusa that I wanted to try so got their chicken tacos and shrimp skewers with rice. Both were just delicious and very flavorful. The quantity is sufficient for the meal and expect no leftovers. Definitely worth the visit when in the area. read more

I attempted to eat at Gobble This on Sunday around 2pm. Unfortunately the doors were locked with employees inside laughing. They didn't have the common courtesy to tell me why they were closed or post any written information on the front door. I love to support local businesses, but it won't surprise me when this one fails. I went to High Noon instead and spent over a hundred dollars. Thanks for wasting my time, read more

Phenomenal. When you walk in, they pretty much ask you if you want to take the red pill (pay $35 for all you can eat and drink and chill) or the blue pill (be turned off by prices and leave). You want to take the red pill, my friends. Is it better to free your mind? Or live in blissful ignorance? Free your mind, come with an empty stomach, open heart and the rest will follow. Smoking deal for amazing coursed food that keeps on coming, super chill people, vibe and all. We found ourselves in a black hole for 4 hours, eating drinking and playing blackjack. Oh and it's 420 friendly. :) If you don't know, now you know. You won't regret it and if you decided to take the blue pill, i am sorry for you. Continue to live in your blissful state of ignorance while the rest of us bask in the love that is Gobble This. This isnt for everyone but the people who know, know what's up, you have arrived. You're home, at last! read more

Gobble This - Playing games chilling. Food is in the Tummy, ate it too fast to post. - Salvadoran Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

We stopped by for a quick lunch in Old Town Albuquerque, New Mexico. My wife and I decided to split a "Pupusa" which was recommended. They made 2 smaller one of different flavors and even brought us a complimentary size bowl of green chili cream of broccoli soup. Everything was delicious, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. If you're in the area and looking for great food at a reasonable price I would definitely recommend "Gobble This". read more

What an awesome experience, we have traveled the world and this is by far one of the greatest food experiences we have ever had! Nestor is amazing, his food, his energy, his personality, and hospitality are top notch. We've been here 3 times. We do not live in ABQ but make it a point to come here every time we are in town visiting family. Each time we've come the menu has been different and delicious. We are exited to see what yumminess Nestor has for us next time. Give this place a Michelin star already! :) read more

I LOVED the vibe and the delicious new flavors! It's very slow food, though. Keep that in mind, if you're looking for a "quick lunch", this is not it. read more

This is real home style cooking, everything is made to order. Definitely worth it in every bite... Absolutely delicious! Chef Nestor and his team always impress us and use the best ingredients to make filling, flavorful dishes that we enjoy several times a month. An ideal spot for those seeking authentic, soul-warming cuisine. Thanks for the food :) read more

second time here and the tacos are amazing!! a very cute little spot. my server Alix was very attentive and friendly!

Gobble this you will! Traditional el Salvadoran food. SO DELICIOUS. Honestly some the best food I've had my 10 days in New Mexico. So much flavor and tastiness and it's not too heavy. They have a $5 after 5pm menu, best deal for the quality and taste of food for sure. Right off the old town square too, very convenient location. Worth a stop if you are in Albuquerque! read more

Does not disappoint!! Staff is very nice and they have art throughout the restaurant you can purchase. Food was made to order and got our food in 30 minutes. They allow you to walk around the area and come back when it's ready. We thought the Green Chili Pupusa was not going to feed us both and we left full and with leftovers. 10/10 recommend! Also had a agua Fresca made by chef and I wish I knew how he made it because I will forever crave it! read more

10/10 customer service and food. Dont expect blazing fast service but the food is worth the wait. It's all made to order. Owner is very friendly and does a great job of explaining menu and giving recommendations. Definitely a good stop for an authentic experience and food! read more

This is a very unique spot. As other reviewers have stated, it's not a traditional dine in experience. As an attendee for a Yelp event, I was treated very well. Although I walked in late, the staff was very accommodating, sat us down, and even warmed up food for us :) The Salvadorian cuisine was good and tasty!! Before we left, an employee spoke of how they operate. He informed on how their restaurant operated and how it was unique. He began by saying it was $50 for a four course meal. It is unique in that you are able to come and leave the restaurant as you please. To add, you can BOYOB, smoke weed, and play a variety of board games. I will surely make a reservation in the near future to update my review. I am very curious to experience the uniqueness of their operation and enjoy their authentic Salvadorian dishes :) read more

One of the best meals of my life, if not the best. The attention to detail, care put into the food, and love present in the experience are all-encompassing. A truly custom and special experience that has me suggesting this to others and thinking about my next visit already. A perfect spot for a thoughtful meal with someone you care about, a solo adventure (how I did it), or a group event (would be a perfect rehearsal dinner spot). If you've gotten this far, just go -- email to plan ahead, and Nestor will take care of any dietary issues you have, too! So you'll be able to sit back and just enjoy. read more

Fast service and excellent, very imaginative food! Only a couple of miles from my apartment, I'll be back soon...

Okay this place is absolutely amazing. The food here is phenomenal. Hands down some of the best dishes I've eaten in a long time. The food just kept getting better and better. You have to reserve to dine and it does cost $50 per person for about 3-7 dishes (we got lucky and ended up getting 7 AMAZING dishes!). You can definitely tell the food is made fresh and that the chef really takes his time and care with each dish. From my understanding there menu changes and they make sure to ask for your allergies before serving you. Their pastelilos are out of this world! So much flavor with tender meat, but a crispy breading. Heavenly. We asked for another and they didn't charge extra. From my understanding if you finish all of your courses and still want more food you can request for a dish you've already had to help fill you up. You get about 3 hours to eat here and we ended up using the whole 3 hours. I definitely plan on coming back and I'm bringing my friends with me to try out this amazing place. read more

We have been here multiple times and the food never disappoints. The food is fresh with amazing flavor. From the papusas to the tacos to the guacamole to the hibiscus jalapeño agua fresca you cannot go wrong. Located in Old Town. Definition of hole in the wall. read more

Delicious pupusas served with beans and rice to be topped with picked cabbage, salsa, and sour cream which elevates them to the next level. While everything was over salted for my palette, that didn't stop me from enjoying every last bite. I got a 12 pack of mini pupusas of all four varieties and they were all excellent. My daughter also tried them and concurred with my assessment. Definitely bringing my friends to enjoy when we can. read more

I have been following Gobble This on Social Media for awhile. This past Halloween the stars aligned and I made it in to sample the dishes I had heard so much about. I am a Native New Mexican and I am so glad that we have this gem in our city! The food was delicious, hand made fresh to order. As is was Halloween there was a lot of activity in the restaurant because they were giving out candy to all the trick or treaters. I chose a cozy spot right next to the kitchen, my thought was that is would be nice a warm. I was greeted by owner and chef Nestor. He explained the menu options. I let him know that I am a foodie of sorts, and that I loved mole but it can be hard to find. The food came out fast and hot and very tasty!!! My only regret is that it took me so long to finally try Gobble this! The Vibe in the restaurant was lovely, Nestor and his staff are all super kind and I loooove the way they were interacting with all the kids and families. I was dining alone and sometimes that can be a little lonely but not at Gobble this.. It felt like my childhood home, I left with a full belly & and warm heart as well as some Posole! I will absolutely be coming back with my family and friends!!! read more
