If New Mexico's official question is "Red or Green?", the follow-up question might be: "Where can i get the best breakfast burrito?" For the record, I'm talking about a true handheld breakfast burrito--not one served on a plate and smothered in red, green, or Christmas chile. Hello Deli in Albuquerque's Journal Center is one of the homegrown New Mexico spots I happily recommend when the craving for a handheld breakfast burrito hits. My go-to order is the "Pronto" with sausage and green chile. Just tell the kitchen that's what you want, and they'll take care of the rest. Wrapped in foil and perfectly sized (and priced) for a good breakfast on the go, the Pronto delivers a well-balanced combination of eggs, cheese, potatoes, sausage, and New Mexico green chile. As you peel back the foil, you're greeted with warm, satisfying goodness in every bite. What keeps me coming back is the consistency. Whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth, the Pronto is reliably delicious and remains my go-to handheld breakfast burrito in Albuquerque. read more

This place is awesome and a cute breakfast/ brunch spot. The food is great and the staff have always been very attentive. I've been here only a few times and their food comes out fast, hot and delicious. I've seen one customer not get waited on for about 10 minutes after he sat down and received a water. After no one came for some time did eventually leave, which was sad to see. Other than that, I've had good experiences. read more

Hello Deli - Eggs Benedict - Delis Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I adore the staff here! Folks do love this restaurant and rush to get there with their friends and families in tow before they close at 2:00pm. On warmer days, there's a nice patio in the back, otherwise there's enough windows to brighten the entire room. I usually order their oatmeal and will add, for the price, it beats out Flying Star's small cup unless you want to pay about the same price for a small cup oatmeal instead of a full sized bowl that will leave you sated for many hours! PS on the days they have their green chili chicken stew, order it, even if it's take out for later! read more

Hello Deli - Patio - Delis Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

So day 3 in New Mexico, and our director brought me to this place for breakfast. So far, it has been amazing, and Hello Deli is holding on to that trend. Their is plenty of seating inside and outside. However, the outside is just lovely. There is a nice view of some bridge and a walking path I believe. The service was super fast and they do have non-dairy options for your coffee. I had the sante fe skillet, which sounded just awesome, and indeed it was. I have been told to start with having the chili on the side to start since I am not used it on everything. The red chili was much spicier for me than the green chili. Green had a nice sweetness to it, but both had lots of flavor. Everything about the dish was great. They have a whole bunch of more items on the menu, and I am excited to have their pancakes next time. I heard they are insanely good. I def recommend it here. read more

Amazing first experience, nice environment, great staff and incredibly quick service. The food was surprisingly fresh being that it came out within 5 minutes of ordering! Of course we had to try a side of the unique green chili and pinion nut pancakes which were phenomenal! My wife and I both had sandwiches which were super tasty. We will be making another visit soon! read more

I cannot recommend Hello Deli enough! I thought about the biscuits and gravy for a full 24 hours before declaring we had to get them for Sunday brunch. Upon arrival, you'll notice that they're always packed (due to the mouth-watering menu!) but the service is excellent and moves quickly. My husband's go-to is the chicken fried steak burrito, and once you order it, it's hard to stray from this perfect plate. It's the aforementioned sausage gravy that is truly the star of the show, which smothers the burrito and biscuits! We added the chocolate chip pancakes this time for a little sweetness and they were absolutely incredible! You have to check this place out! read more

This is my green chili cheese fries review for Hello Deli. Very busy at lunch on a Thursday but service was friendly and fast. My order of GCCF came out within 5 minutes of ordering which was nice they were out before larger orders ahead of me. Kudos to the kitchen staff! Atmosphere is very deli-ish and a bit loud during heavy traffic. The GCCF were hot and made with real cheese! The green chili was hot enough to make my tongue tingle and my forehead sweat. I'd come back again for them. They serve 2 cans of local and 3 bottles of lighter barley soda. read more

Hello deli was busy this Sunday morning. After about 10 minutes we were led to our table. The better half had the Santa Fe skillet it was swimming in cheese and she loved it. She'd definitely get it again. I have probably around 100 CFS's a year and this one was great. I did have to send the first one back because it was cold, our waitress, Andrea, was right on it and about 3 minutes later I was provided a brand new order. This CFS has moved to my number 2 spot in ABQ. Great job Hello Deli you now have a new fan see you soon! read more

We have probably driven by here a gajillion times and just didn't think to look in the shopping center for a place to eat. Small but busy; not unexpected with it being the end of Balloon Fiesta Week and its close proximity to the fi. Friendly staff. We were seated quickly. Our food came out fast as well. I wasn't feeling breakfasty so got the Chipotle ranch wrap with fries. My husband got the biscuit and gravy with sausage and hash browns. Gravy is spicy and sausage is mild. Fries are thin and crispy. Chicken in the wrap wasn't dry. The chipotle gives it a nice kick in the end. So many choices on the menu. We will be back to keep sampling what they have to offer. read more

Hello Deli - Chipotle chicken wrap with fries - Delis Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Finding a place to eat breakfast on a Sunday is almost as bad as trying to find a restaurant on Friday nights. We got here, the parking lot was full - but we got seated right away. Lots of choices on the menu. Biscuits & gravy is the selection add the Chipotle Ranch Wrap and there's a meal for 2. Food came out surprising fast. Biscuit was thick & gravy spicy. Must have been the red/grn chile. Food was delicious and a lot. Service was good. Hours are consistent with the area. It's businesses so they close around 2pm depending on the day. Not a bad place for breakfast. read more

Haven't been here in years. The food and service was on point just as it was years ago. I came in early and there was no wait. Let's get to the good part, here's what I had. Huevos Rancheros- Christmas style! The chile is pretty spicy and although my nose was running, I couldn't stop eating it. Instead of traditional corn tortillas, this is served on flour tortillas. Once you're done with your eggs, use the tortilla to scoop up the beans, hash browns and chile, sooo delicious! They're consistent and I'll visit again when I'm in ABQ next time. read more

It had been a while since I ate at the Hello Deli. The last time I stepped foot in this restaurant is when it was located further up the road in a shopping center near Target. At that time they were in a much smaller building and, to my recollection, they didn't have as vast of offerings. Flash forward. The year is 2024 and they are now in a much bigger space with an almost overwhelming menu selection. Seriously, it will take you a minute to go through all they have to offer. Everything from breakfast plates, sandwiches, salads, soups, and more can be found on their menu. They have a pay at the front then sit system which is kind of nice but I always feel bad because the waitstaff that tend to you after you sit always do a really awesome job. The system always causes me to tip less when paying upfront because I forget how awesome of service they provide after I pay. Tip: Bring Cash to leave at table. The restaurant is always extremely clean and waitstaff are really nice and helpful. The food is excellent. Of the two times at the new locations, I have had the big breakfast burrito twice and it is amazing. The chile is really good and the portion you can beat. I know I'll be back to try and make my way through their vast menu. Looking for something good to eat for breakfast or lunch? This is the place to go. read more

We were first in line while they cleaned several tables. We waited patiently and then they seated us right by the door where it was freezing and everyone after us got the better tables. I asked if we could move to another open table and I was told "no" by the waitress and then they immediately seated someone else there. Then our waiter waited on the two groups that came after us and turned in their orders and had not been over to our table at all. After that I had to go ask where our waiter was so we could place our order. Then he brought me a sandwich really fast that was just cold bread and a pile of cold lunch meat put on top. The dijon mustard was missing and I could have made this in my kitchen in two minutes. We have always been great customers. All we did was go to their restaurant and wait patiently in line. Did we deserve this terrible treatment. I think not!!!!! read more

This is a really tough review to write because I basically like the restaurant's food and atmosphere, but I'm giving it only one star because of what we discovered on our last visit.  The restaurant was deceiving customers about the prices.   We ordered at the counter from the menu on the back wall.   The Tuna Melt was $8.25 and the Reuben was $8.90.  What we were charged was $10.45 and $10.95.  That's a 26% and 23% increase!   I didn't notice that we were over-charged until towards the end of the meal when I took a look at the receipt. I went to the cashier to let her know about the mistake and she told me that the prices on the hanging menu were wrong because they had been raised.  That  annoyed me since she was aware of the wrong prices but hadn't mentioned it when I paid. I asked to speak to the manager. While I waited,  a young man behind the counter ridiculed me for caring about the price difference saying something like, ''Prices on menus aren't always right.  What's the big deal?''  Unbelieveable!   So, when the young manager came over, she told me that the prices had gone up. She said the prices had been updated in their regular paper menus but not on the big menu hanging behind the counter.  I thought for sure she'd offer me a refund on the price difference. She did not. I probably should have pushed it and asked for the refund. Anyway,  I did tell her that it wasn't right to display inaccurate prices (especially since we were talking over 20%).  I suggested that the easiest thing for them to do was to simply tape a piece of paper on the hanging menu saying something like: ''Customers-please look at paper menus for correct prices.''  Or, the cashiers could let the customers know as they were ordering. I guess what really irritated me the most was that everyone there knew about the price descepancy except the customers who were shelling out the  money.  We still would have ordered the same things if we'd known the real prices and wouldn't have thought twice about it.  BUT, I don't like false advertising.  Actually, my visit to the restaurant was on July 1st and I'm writing this more than two months later.  (I hope they've updated the sign by now! ) I guess I originally hesitated on writing the bad review because perhaps the prices had only gone up the day before and the new sign was on its way? I was giving them the benefit of the doubt.  But then I spoke to a friend who had the same experience with prices there earlier in the summer. He also spoke to the manager, a tall gentleman,  about being charged the wrong amount.  Again, he got an unacceptable explanation, an insincere apology,  and no refund.  So, taking advantage of customers was clearly an on-going practice that management didn't think was a problem worthy of correcting in a timely manner.  On a different subject...as we were getting started on eating our meals on the patio, an employee started stacking the chairs to get ready to close the patio.  It's a large area and we wouldn't have cared so much but he didn't have to stack them within inches  of our table. Very distracting while we were trying to chat.  I'm sure customer consideration didn't even cross his mind but it seems like the manager should have included that in his training.  This is a popular restaurant so I suppose the management doesn't care about losing a few customers here and there. read more

Best chicken strips and breakfast. The patio was nice. Definitely recommended. Service was OK, but they were busy

I like the vibe here. Been here many times, finally getting around to penning an opinion. Today we had lunch. We actually like Hello Deli better for breakfast. We each had the triple decker BLT's, I had potato salad and my husband had fries. Potato salad was not a hit, fries were good. Staff super friendly, it was a very busy Friday. Service was quick and excellent. Great place for breakfast or lunch, I especially like breakfast here. read more

Plenty of parking spot (in strip mall area) and plenty of seating inside the restaurant. You order and pay at a counter and grab a seat to wait for your food, so it's pretty painless. I had a chance to try Santa Fe cakes (with blue corn batter, pinon nuts, green chili and cheese). It also came with a choice of meat (which I honestly thought would taste much better if they are somewhat pre-cooked mushed into and fried along with the cake batter as well. But..they came as just sides..so it's not like everything is made/mixed already for you. Overall, I thought the dish tasted ok. The portion was definitely good....actually on a large size overall. The people at the table I dined with, half of us took leftover home. I had some leftover as well, but I just thought the cake was ok...so I didn't take any home. Service...pretty much they sort of leave you alone. One person in my party had to wave a waitperson down to ask for utensils (which I thought should have been brought over when they bring the food over...but I guess not). Overall, ok choice. Lots of food option..but really..it's just easy and to be expected diner food...nothing to be too excited about as a foodie. read more

My first visit to this establishment. Stopped in for breakfast, and had a very pleasant experience. I had eggs Benedict with a side of hashbrowns. Friendly staff took my order at the counter; my food arrived within just a few minutes. The eggs were just how I like them, firm, but with a soft yolk. The hollandaise sauce was smooth and pleasant. Some may like hollandaise with a little more tang, I enjoyed as is. Great prices! read more

I ordered from the Albuquerque location for take out a BLT it mentioned triple decker well when I got it home to eat it it had 3 1/2 pieces of bacon with 1 piece not cooked, yes they put uncooked bacon on my sandwich, 1/4 of a tomato for a whole sandwich and brown wilty lettuce and the bread was toasted but stale tasting. For 11.00 This sandwich is no where near a triple decker and would not even fill up a 4 year old. I will not be going back I'm so disappointed. read more

Super good place for breakfast and low cost! Almost everything is $12 or less and the quality is superb! My blue corn pancakes with Chiles were unlike any I have had before. The eggs and ham also spit on tasty. My wife loved her Monte Cristo and could not even start on the has browns it was so big. Service is quick and kind here also. Not too busy at all for a weekend either. Maybe it's still a hidden gem or something... Not for long with these grubs! read more

I really love this place and eat here quite often for lunch while at work. Pretty much everything you try is good and it's fresh. From pancakes, to avocado toast to sandwiches you can't go wrong.

We picked up and ordered lunch from Hello Deli while in Albuquerque for a conference. Service was quick, a couple of us stayed behind and called in our order for others to go and pick it up. We had a hard time trying to order on our phones online so it was easier just calling in. I went for the BLT club with a side of potato chips. They had some green Chile in there that had a good amount of spice. Other people got Caesar wraps, egg sandwiches, subs, so many different options and sides. Their side soup looked good too! Very filling and fairly priced. Would recommend if you want a quick sandwich for lunch. They got out orders correct and it didn't seem like we were waiting for a long time. I unfortunately wasn't there to pick up to check out the location. read more

Was in Albuquerque on a trip to visit some family and they recommended that I try Hello Deli out. I'm a sucker for a gyro wherever it's offered, so I tried that and was not disappointed. Before I returned home, we stopped again and this time tried a chicken fried steak burrito. I had never heard of such a thing and I'm also a sucker for a chicken fried steak. That was a delicious experience to say the least! Prices are reasonable And the portions are plentiful. Plenty of seating and not cramped even when there is a crowd inside. l will definitely come back when we visit next time! read more

Hello Deli is a very well run restaurant. Their service is the best in town! We go there frequently and have never been disappointed. We usually go there for lunch but decided to try it for breakfast last Sunday. They open at 8 am and we arrived about 8:45. There were five or so tables occupied but we were seated right away- we ordered our food and it was on the table within ten minutes. The place is always very pleasant and even though it gets busy, we have never had to wait for a table. There is a large selection of items on the lunch menu and plenty of variety! read more
