This convenience store across the street from our hotel was a lifesaver. We got out of the River of Lights footsore, cold, hungry, and tired - but most places were closed or closing soon.
We noped out of several stores because it was nighttime, and ABQ can be a little rough after dark.
This store, however, was well-lit and lacked folks hanging out in the parking lot. Inside, the place is clean and bright, with a great selection of pantry items for that small quick dinner at 1030pm that won't keep you up all night.
We got microwaveable chicken and dumplings, a chicken soup, a pack of crackers, a couple of cheese sticks, a sandwich, and soft drinks for a reasonable price. The prices were not exorbitant - the grocery section looks like a neighborhood-serving pantry, not a soak-the travelers opportunity.
Cashier was quick and efficient, and very polite, making sure we had enough napkins and utensils.
