There are taco spots you visit... and then there are taco spots that tell a story the moment you…read morewalk in. Rio Tacos Co. falls squarely in the second category. It starts with the tortillas--soft, warm, clearly made with intention. Not just a vehicle for the filling, but part of the experience. The tacos are best ordered three at a time. . The birria arrives rich and inviting, the kind that doesn't just sit on the plate--it pulls you in. The barbacoa follows with its own quiet confidence--tender, seasoned just right, no need to overcomplicate something that's already this good. And then there's the grilled chicken adobada--bright, slightly smoky, with that perfect balance of spice and citrus that keeps you going back for "just one more bite"... multiple times. Everything feels fresh. Thoughtful. Handcrafted in a way that doesn't need to announce itself--it just shows up on the plate. The Horchata is Rio Tacos Co. isn't trying to reinvent tacos. It's doing something better--reminding you how good they're supposed to be.

Not knowing anything about the menu, I opted to try the Duke. Great choice. I had mine with pulled pork, with my chile on the side, so I could taste the original item and add the New Mexico flavor if needed. I loved the original version and confess I did not add the chile the second time. Service was great - delivered to my car in the Ex Novo parking lot. Ambiance is outdoors or take-away - how can we complain? Next time you are driving through our village and see the red food truck on the west side of Corrales Road near the fire station, pull in and give them a try. I'm glad I did.

Listen, if you know what Hibachi is then you understand that you're getting blackstone cooked, high…read moreheat, fresh food-- think about eating at a dine in where they light an onion on fire... ok! Now you get it. This is that, but in a food truck! I got the NY strip steak, with chicken on the side for my 2 year daughter ($29). My partner got the tofu hibachi ($18). This came out to about $50 total. You may be thinking- WOW that's a lot of money. Let me tell you, they give you a TON of food. And not just any food, fresh good quality food. Each hibachi bowl comes with fresh veggies and your choice of white or fried rice-- and if you get fried rice expect that it's cooked fresh on that flame in their truck. They do it exactly as you would expect in a restaurant. So while it did take about 15 minutes to get our food (we were the 2nd folks in line for the day) it would take MUCH longer at a hibachi-style restaurant (hours if you think about it). There was so much food in my bowl I had a whole extra meal the next day that I warmed up in my wok. Now, my partner on the other hand doesn't get quality tofu, and he inhaled his whole plate while we were at the food-truck-park. The tofu was crispy, the rice was fuego, and the veggies were fresh! If you're looking for QUALITY food from a food truck, cuts of meat that are not the "scraps" but the whole prime cut, if you're looking for friendly ladies cooking you a meal that goes the distance than this IS the place. ... and there is a reason this sells out early every day. It's in high demand! I give this 11/10... above and beyond! Ps: I wish I had kept the pictures of the tofu and chicken, for my daughter it was a lot- we even shared with the dog when we got home... and for the tofu it was so supremely cooked. We all ate good!

You can tell he is passionate and love sharing his bbq with his customer. His signature meat? He mentioned the pulled pork meat and the brisket! The side worthy of trying (although Theo himself doesn't like coleslaw himself? The pineapple coleslaw...based on my brief discussion with another local customer I met onsite! I personally found that the price/value for the amount and quality of food Nomad's bbq provides is well worth it. I had a pulled pork sandwich (plus a bit of brisket and the 2 sides that I couldn't resist trying to save for my next meal) and thought the meat was smokey, jiving and so scrumptious...and this is coming from someone who normally doesn't eat so much meat like myself! Overall, I really like that Theo seems passionate about making the food that he serves. Plus, it doesn't hurt that this bbq type of food tastes so good..and is so rare to find ABQ, too.

Theo's operating in food truck mode only now. He mentioned being at the yellow & blue HappyDaze Cannabis building across from the Maverik gas station on Jefferson St NE at junction of I-25 and Jefferson. I'm unsure of what days & hours. Give him a call to get the "who, what, when, where, why, & how" for his location on any given day. However, I must say that Nomad BBQ is still providing *excellent* Texas style BBQ of exceptional tastiness at very economical prices, given the high quality of the food. If you see their truck anywhere around town, stop in, chow down, and smile ... smile ... smile ... at all the wondrous gustatorial nirvana you've just indulged in. Hands down, killer good BBQ! Everything I said in my previous review still stands. Of special note, besides the extremely good food, is the gregarious, outgoing, and hyper friendly personality that positively shines out of Mr Theo. One of the most convivial food vendors in town. Period!
