    Finally went in person! Service was great, friendly and fast! I tried the tahini sweet bowl this time it was good but not my favorite.. I think I am just not a fan of Tahini dressing. So maybe get it with a different dressing if you are not a huge tahini fan. Otherwise the bowl was delicious! I love the feta and the Kalamata olives and how it blended with the flavors of the curried cauliflower and picked onions. We sat outside so our little could run around in the courtyard while we ate. I feel like some fire pits and heated lamps as it gets cooler would be a nice touch for the outside seating area. A few of the little food kiosks are still empty too. So looks like they are still working on the space. So far of the the bowls I have gotten I think the crave a bowl is my favorite, so the title is very fitting.

    The place to order

    I really wanted to go here for dinner last night. We ate pizza all day and wanted something fresh and healthy to balance things out. First this place was hard to find. Google maps made it hard to locate and even when we made it inside the plaza, there was no signage outside the building. We finally found it after asking some folks walking around. We walk up to the counter and the cashier let's us know they are closing early. It was 6:55pm on a Saturday. So I say okay we'll be quick thinking they are closing soon (they close at 9pm). She clarifies that they aren't taking orders. What? Why? All the food bins had saran wrap on them already. I was sad. This was a frustrating night. We ended up walking across the street to Jason's Deli and had a delicious and nicely priced salad bar

    Little Gems consistently puts out food that actually makes me want to cry out of joy because it's so good. And more than good, it's fun! Having so many food allergies, I often have to opt for the salad or bowl option at restaurants and that's a sad thing because usually they're just eh--but little gems exceeds expectations exponentially! The staff are knowledgeable and kind, and I will drive all the way to this side of town for this food. Photographed is the stardust salad with steak, but they have so many vegan options and so many gluten free options which my family loves

    Persephone's salad

    I ordered the Persephone salad and it was fucking disgusting. People were nice though.

    This place was such a pleasant surprise. We were amazed at the bold and delicious flavors of the food! The service was excellent and the servers were very helpful with the menu and helping us to decide what would be best to order. Nice food court environment with very comfortable seating as well. We are undoubtedly going to be back soon and try something new. Fresh, healthy food made right and bursting with robust flavors! What a treat!

    The location is SO cute! The food is made with fresh, clean, healthy ingredients. I love that they clearly mark their menu to identify which items are gluten free. The staff was so nice and happy to answer any question I had. When I couldn't decide which sauce to get, they suggested I got both on the side and that was definitely the right choice! This is a great spot for lunch!

    Me & my mom came to try out the newest hot spot - Park Square Market for lunch because it's all the rage right now but my eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store when I saw that I was going to get to try the one place I've been wanting to try for weeks but didn't think I was going to be able to because I didn't think they were open on weekends when I could make it into town but now they are!! The food was fresh, full of flavor from each ingredient and with every bite. The staff were friendly and the environment was cleanly. The ambiance of the building is like a food court, sit where you'd like & very chatty busy atmosphere. If you're looking for a healthy lunch this is a great choice!

    I was traveling across the country and had a stay in Albuquerque and was lucky enough to be staying…read moreat a hotel right around the corner from Sixty Six Acres. First on service - I ordered carry out, and the woman who took my order over the phone was extremely kind. She also was the one who helped me once I arrived to pick up my food, and she was just as kind in person. It truly seemed like the entire staff was very customer centric. Food - holy cow it was great! I had the sixty six burger with the hatch chilis, and it was a phenomenal burger. Highly recommend upgrading to the truffle fries, worth the extra two bucks!! If I lived here I know I would be a regular and ensure I tried out the entire menu!

    We went in on a Friday evening right at 5 to avoid any dinner rush. We were seated immediately and…read morebrought water right away. We planned to split some small app's and one entree. We went with the Korean Chicken bites, the Margarita Flatbread, & the green chilli cheeseburger. The Chicken bites were terrible. Taste wasn't great at all, they were very very fried, but not in a good way. I love some good crunchy fried chicken but these just were not it! The flavor, the texture, none of it was right. The Margarita Flatbread was med. Taste was pretty good, but it was soggy and didn't hold up well at all. That said it was the best of the 3 things we did get. Unfortunately, that's not saying much..... The burger was okay also. Not bad by any means, but nothing special at all either....considering there's a burger place next door I thought the burger would be able to compete with the neighbor, but trust me if you want a burger, go next door! They don't put sauce on it at all, no nothing. Just straight up patty, cheese and bun. Only my 6 year old cousin eats like that.....I did add some mayo and ketchup, which helped, but still not a great burger.... The bun didn't add much for us either, even though it was baked in house with green chilli....A simple brioche would be better imo... The fries with the burger were actually the best single item of the experience. Their fries are really good! So good that I was going to eat every single one of them but instead my waiter just came and took my plate before I had finished the last 10 or so. No are you finished yet, or anything, just grabbed it, turned and left. I was so shocked I didn't even have time to say I'm not done with that. He left the crummy chicken bites we weren't eating though..... LOL Seriously don't touch my plate unless it's empty, or you ask first! Since it was a small amount I let it slide and didn't reduce his tip because the rest of the service was actually pretty good overall..... I definitely 100% will not be back here though, there's much better food in the area.

It always looks like there's going to be a wait, but there never is. You go to the counter, place your order, find a table, and they bring the food right out to you. This place puts a unique and delicious twist on classic breakfast dishes, and everything we tried was outstanding. You can immediately tell they know exactly what they're doing. They even make their own English muffins, and they are to die for -- fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. We loved them so much we even bought a bag to take home. I also had a blood orange Jr. mimosa, which was off-the-charts delicious. Everything here is fresh, fresh, and more fresh. The bacon deserves a special mention -- phenomenal, cooked to perfection with amazing flavor. Whether you're craving something sweet or leaning toward the savory side, you're completely covered. If you're on the fence about coming here, don't be -- you will not be disappointed. Before leaving, we stopped to share our experience with the manager.

I was, I know my favorite drink and how to order it as green chartreuse is a favorite. Food order was about another 20 minutes. I got the smash-burger, which came out cold and the meat was gritty and tough like it had been precooked and warmed up. Another member of our group ordered an old fashioned which they couldn't make because they were out of something... strange a bar that can't produce an old fashioned?? My drink was $27 and total bill $41 for a burger and drink served rudely. $27 for a mixed drink in Albuquerque is pretty steep. I wouldn't have minded the cost if service and quality were good. Too bad, the environment and decor was nice. Menu seemed simple but creative but quality on the plate didn't make it worth it.

I will say our sides were a room temp when we got our plates. Our server did let us know of a delay of getting our plates because they had to redo the lobster tail because didn't come out to the chefs liking (which I do appreciate, because the lobster was so good and wasnt rubbery). The sides were very average. We had creme brulee for dessert and it was ok. I just had Trader Joe's flan the night before and it was really good, so I thought the creme brulee would satisfy my craving. I would go with the TJ flan over this brulee. Overall, it was a nice meal, the main dishes were really good, minus the room temp sides. I will say this, this last time I had steak and lobster together was at Ruth's Chris, I remember that the lobster tail was small and over cook and my steak was good, but could have been better. So the Surf and Turf here is a win for me.
