We had brunch here today and had a great experience!…read more Before going, I called to ask about their gluten-free options. The woman who answered the phone was friendly and knowledgeable. She explained that they have a dedicated fryer for their chicken wings and fries, offer gluten-free hamburger buns, and other gluten-free options. That gave me the confidence to give them a try. When we arrived, we grabbed a table on the patio and then ordered. We shared the loaded breakfast fries (without the chile since it isn't gluten-free), and they were delicious. I ordered the Greek salad with grilled chicken, which was fresh and flavorful. My gluten-free daughter had the barbecue chicken wings and fries, and my gluten-free son ordered the huevos rancheros without the chile. My husband had the regular huevos rancheros. The server who took our order seemed to be new, but another woman, possibly the owner or manager, was extremely friendly, answered all of our questions. As someone with celiac disease, that level of knowledge and willingness to answer questions means a lot. Everything we ordered was delicious. We'll definitely be back!

Have we got a surprise for you today? Turns out that they snuck in a new restaurant in our little…read morevillage of Corrales. It's actually been open for a few months, but it is not obvious. No Competition occupies the kitchen spaces at the newly renovated Sandia Bar. To our embarrassment and amazement, we stumbled across it - look for signs to the Sandia Bar at the corner of W. Ella and Corrales Road. Are we glad we did. Order and pick up at the outdoor counter adjacent to the parking lot. No seating in the actual restaurant, but you are more than welcome to go into the Sanda Bar or use one of their numerous outdoor tables. The friendly staff at the bar are used to this arrangement. While you are there, have a drink in the Sandia Bar and look at what they have done to make what was once the local "biker bar" hangout into an upscale drinking emporium. And best of all, this is our new "best in New Mexico" burger joint. Simply the best. We also tried out the Mahi Mahi fish tacos and fish and chips. Highly recommended and best of all, its in our backyard. Check out our YouTube video report. https://youtu.be/2Z0Xkdf05rw?si=1t5zHP29uwkPia_H

Service is always outstanding. They all look like they're photo be there and the staff has been there for a long time. Great bar, plenty of high top tables and low and some other low comfy seats to relax and enjoy a beer or a refreshing El Tri. My personal favorite along with salad adding chicken. Just can't go wrong.

Great food and service. We enjoyed the salsa and tacos. I had Carnitas, Al Pastor, and Carne Asada…read more I liked the Al Pastor and Carne Asada the best. Pozole not as good as the one I get at Meso Maya back home in DFW but it's still quite good. Seems like it was missing some acid or salt, not sure. Ambiance was ok but not great. Being in a strip mall isn't a great place and inside could use some plants and dividers between tables or areas. Liked the artwork, lighting, and decor though.

We tried Big Boss Hotlinks at the Winrock Fest this weekend. The smell was definitely calling us!…read moreIt was a nice evening with plenty of people to keep them busy. The order was out quick, despite the number of people, so they were ready to get things expedited. We ordered the Green Chile Cheeseburger with hot green chile, grilled onions, and a side of crinkle fries. One of the burgers was missing a chunk of the patty. The other burger had a good sized patty. We were quite hungry so we went right in. However, the first bite was disappointing with no flavor. We were waiting for the hot in the green chile, but it never landed. And the grilled onions were quite sparse, also not giving it much more flavor. The crinkle fries were crispy and had some salt. But they did not redeem the meal. Nevertheless, the combo was quite filling. Overall, the food never met the smell that attracted us to this truck or the high cost, leaving us with a full belly but no flavor to speak of.

I added grilled shrimp as a protein and completed this dish as a meal....this salad is like no other and paired perfectly with the crab cakes Left full and happy with zero regrets Very nice staff, they are commendable Keep up the great work Indigo Crow Top tip....use your phone navigation and slow down when you get close,to enter the proper back parking lot.....kinda tricky without your phone

We were so happy to be traveling through NM and able to eat at Forty Nine Forty. Such a wonderful treat. We were there on a tasting menu night. Everything was perfect. Inventive and exceptional. Kudos to the entire team for a memorable night.

Forty Nine Forty is exactly the kind of restaurant Michelin should have discovered when it came to…read moreNew Mexico--and its omission makes you wonder whether the inspectors ever actually made it to Corrales. We started with the savory brioche tart and excellent house-made breads. The little gem salad was crisp and refreshing, with jicama, cucumber, and a bright buttermilk-lime dressing. The beautifully cooked spiced duck was the standout, with plum providing just the right sweetness and acidity. A customized specialty drink was a thoughtful touch, and the cheesecake was a terrific finish. Alex provided warm, attentive service without constantly interrupting the meal--something increasingly rare and deeply appreciated. Forty Nine Forty combines serious cooking with the relaxed, distinctive character of Corrales. Michelin may have missed it, but New Mexico diners shouldn't.

Had a celebratory birthday dinner for a friend here at Farm and Table last night…read more It was a wonderfully delicious evening! Service was so invitingly friendly and efficient. By mistake, we got there 30 minutes early but were able to order a drink and walk the property along garden paths and discovered they had garden rooms that you could reserve for large parties. After we were sat with the other guests and the guest of honor, our awesome waiter explained how their food was sourced and a bit of history of the place for our friends that weren't familiar with the restaurant. There were vegetarians and a vegan diners amongst us so he explained all his favorite vegetarian dinners and also how they could alter the meal to make it vegan. EVERYONE was happy with their meals. My entree was their Mongolian Beef prepared and served in an extremely creative presentation which was absolutely delicious! Others had: mezze platters with and without the lamb, the Cavatelli pasta dish, shishito pepper appetizer, All quite delicious! Amongst the desserts ordered I had the basil, blackberry sorbet (if I recall correctly) which was refreshingly tasty! The whole evening was wonderful! The food! The company! But special kudos and thanks to the restaurant and staff at Farm and Table for helping make it a very memorable evening!

While in Albuquerque I cane to Farm & Table for an elegant dinner date. The experience was less…read morethan stellar. The weather permitted use to sit outside in the comforting blanket of mild sun shine. Service was slow and it took some time for someone to initially come to our table. I heard a few tables being offered to tour the area where some of the plants were being grown which was nice. That option was not extended to our table. The menu had a few vegetarian options that looked promising. I ordered barramundi and my wife ordered cavatelli which is a type of pasta. Complementary bread was brought out that tasted good but had too much salt on the crust. I didn't know but eventually found out that barramundi is a type of Asian sea bass. It was plated with a good amount of vegetables, but I found it to be bot a flavorful as I would have liked. I tasted the cavatelli and was not impressed either by the flavors. The drink section of the menu is a little confusing and we ended up with a grapefruit rosemary kombucha. The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing but I think the entrees were a bit over priced for what we received.

Some of us have been coming here for two decades, and we realized we had never done a podcast review. Well, we are here now and pleased to report on one of the top Albuquerque lunch Places for your dining pleasure. Great sandwiches, friendly counter service from one of the owners, and enough ambiance - tchotchkes - to keep you roaming the room and taking it all in.

They were a little salty and the dipping sauce could've used a little sour cream or cream and some fresh lime juice but would definitely get them again. I also got the turkey raspberry chipotle wrap and it was good, too. My one little critique on it was that I didn't really taste raspberry in it and it was a little watery, but again something I would get again. They have a few other items that I'd love to try, so I will be back soon.

Staff were all friendly and attentive. We came in as a family of 4. I had the Duke city grilled…read morecheese sandwich with a side of tomato bisque. The soup was tasty, and the sandwich was pretty good- a little too much turkey for my taste. My husband had the mushroom peppercorn steak. It was cooked well, and he enjoyed the peppercorn sauce. One person had the steak salad. She said it was good, not great. The salad was served with large leaves of lettuce (she had to cut them up) and steak. She mentioned that she wished there was a little more to the salad- it was just the lettuce and steak. The last person in our party had the green chile chicken pasta. She liked it. Overall, our experience was good. I would say Tula's is fair. It's nothing to write home about, but it wasn't bad.

They do have a very nice patio but I was eating inside in lieu of out in the 95 degree heat and flies. I mentioned it to my very sweet server and she got me a battery fan to put on my table to shoo flies! (See pic) I ordered their wonderful Reuben w Caesar side and ate it with the fan shooing the flies while I ate inside. Seriously!! I did let her know the homemade croutons were stale and tough and not very edible. Service, food and drinks here are always very good and polite. I'll be back but not when the outside summer flies are taking over.

I had the manicotti with meat sauce. It was delicious. The cheese inside was creamy and just right. We also had zucchini to start. The breading was light and flavorful.

The bread was perfect for this sandwich; that's not always the case. The Council Room Platter has all of the New Mexican favorites and is hearty enough for leftovers. The taquitos are a pass.

The place is nice and closer to the conference area so away from the noise and bustle of the casino which made for a nice quiet meal. Service was excellent and the food was quite good.
