    Selection sheet.

    Mike's Jerky is an all-beef jerky shop with solely in-house selections. They specialize in super thin-sliced jerky pieces that come with a variety of flavors divided in-store by heat level. Usually I don't enjoy very dry jerky, but because this is thin-sliced, there's a satisfying snap when you break off a piece and crunch when you bite into it. I'm converted. I've tried the lemon pepper, mild red chile, and teriyaki. The first two were delicious! The teriyaki used a thick-cut chewier, softer preparation. I liked the taste but not necessarily the consistency. If you are a jerky fan, go check them out! You'll enjoy them.

    Old ass stale jerkey! - A large, sealed plastic bag contains beef jerky with a label from Mike's Jerky, featuring jalapeño flavor and ingredients list, located in Albuquerque, NM.

    The one star is representative of the poor customer service exhibited by an employee at Mikes Jerky. In the past, the jerkey is really good and these are the items purchased by the smaller bag. The Spicy jalapeño was really good and I wanted to get more. Driving to Mikes Jerkey and pulling up, I was ready to get additional bags to enjoy. Walking in and finding what I wanted, the clerk behind the counter picked out what I wanted. He then advised the bigger bag would save money with the purchase instead of purchasing a few small bags. I appreciated the help and advice and bought the big bag. Once home, I couldn't wait! I opened the bag to enjoy the jalapeño jerkey. It was stale, not as hot as the previous small bag and just tasted ..........bad! Maybe it was just that one piece.... Nope! A few samples from various locations within the bag were all equally dissatisfying and tasting like the rear end of a camel! I went to the website to contact them and see what could be done. On the website, it states they would return any product that was open, torn, or not to the liking of the purchaser. Splendid! I drove across town and arrived at mikes jerkey the next day and expressed what happened with the purchase. I showed my receipt and the clerk behind the counter was less that professional, much less nice! All said there's nothing he could do and I told him about what the website stated. "Not sure what to tell you but that's not my problem". NOT MY PROBLEM!!!!! Then he pointed down at a small sign in the showcase that said "no refunds, no exchanges". This is classic bait and switch! I would much rather buy local but with this, I will NOT be back and I WILL everyone about this! What a shame! Avoid this place! OH YEAH!!! The big bag was packaged June of last year! They just want to get rid of old inventory!!!

    Here is my FORGED signature!

    I am completely disgusted and frustrated with the way Mikes does business! Today I bought jerky at the wine festival...1- they should inform customers that their teriyaki jerky looks nothing like the other beef jerky they sell...2- I used my debit card for my purchase and they forged my name... This is not good business practice!!! If you look at the second photo... You can clearly see that the teriyaki looks like shit nuggets, versus the jerky on the right! I have every intention of calling them tomorrow... But I cannot condone this kind of business! They will NOT get another dime from me!!

    Pure deliciousness. I love it.

    You can never go wrong with Mike's Jerky if you love a good healthy snack. It's good for you and made to perfection. Once you try this jerky you'll be hooked. They have a wide variety of flavors to choose from and it's easy to get your hands on online and in their store. Grab some for roadtrips, home and work. Great for gift baskets and stocking stuffers as well. My favorite of course is the green chile flavor. Followed by garlic salt and sriracha. You have to go in and find your favorite from the many flavors they sell. They've also been featured on the Travel Channels show, Delicious Destinations. Great family and employees. You won't be sad you tried it

    Best beef jerky ever in the world hands down the only place I will get beef jerky from for the rest of my life!!!! - Two sealed packages of Mike's Jerky, a beef jerky product, with Christmas-themed labels, placed on a car seat.

    Hands down the best beef jerky I have ever eaten in my life the only place I will ever recommend or buy beef jerky from for the rest of my life!!!!

    Classic green chili, felt like medium heat with inctrdible flavor.  And Santa Fe...felt mild/medium with a great flavor - Two vacuum-sealed packages of Mike's Jerky from Old World Beef Company are placed on a kitchen countertop, with one package held by a hand.

    Incredible jerky. The thin and crispy feel is very quickly overcome, and I now love it! It takes 3chews before the jerky hydrates and the chew changes.

    I've been coming here for years now. Anytime I am looking to satisfy that craving for beef jerky, Mike's always delivers. They have so many flavors to choose from. I usually go with the Santa Fe and Black Pepper as my favorites but rest assured I have tried all of them and they are all great. They are always very helpful and have samples so you can pick and choose what your favorite may be before you buy. I will continue to come as often as I can!!

    Just a few of the flavors I've tried. Pineapple habanero is HOT. But the rest are just absolutely incredible for pretty much anyone.

    Excellent market, grocery store, restaurant and take-out food all-in-one. We highly recommend it!…read more This is our favorite Mexican grocery store and restaurant right here in Rio Rancho, they have excellent supplies of everything that need to make everything from scratch, and they even have frozen items from fresh roasted green chilies that they roast out in front of the store fresh from the farm and as they sell the fresh roasted green chilies they also are bagging and freezing some for future use; to commercially frozen discos that we buy for our empanadas to other hard to find frozen exotic specialties. Walk all the way into the back and you'll see the huge variety of different meat cuts in the butcher shop. Then turn right and you will see the restaurant section with a huge menu of Mexican favorites, with tables that you can sit and eat at right there or you can get all of it for take-out and enjoy at home, its our favorite take-out because its yummy and the portions are supremely satisfying. They entire fresh hand made tortillas every day, no preservatives so this is like grandma-made tortillas that are so silky soft and yummy. Available pre-bagged and as the side tortillas for the fresh cooked food plates. The staff is friendly, well informed and helpful; the parking lot is gigantic (its in the strip mall that runs along Southern starting at Unser so it has infinite parking spaces). Highly recommended, give them a try!

    We always come for the Jerry, but the restaurant in the back is a hidden surprise. The last time we…read morewere here I ordered the Loaded Nachos it was big and filling. I also had a taste of the aside torta my girlfriend had and it was really good. Everyone here has always been super nice. We never would have known about this hidden gem in the back had we never came into the market.
