The offerings range from Italian, to burgers, to Vietnamese noodles. There are also some great dessert options including a place that makes fancy desserts that are too nice looking to eat (they look like flowers). I had pizza from Hawt (see separate review for that) and a beer from the brewery, which allowed samples, but had no place to sit.

I asked for the code to the restroom and the staff was asking me to show them a receipt and telling me the restrooms were for paying customers only. I understood but when I tried explaining that I was a customer because I ate at the stackers they demanded I show them a receipt. Had I known I was going to need proof I wouldn't have thrown my receipt. I told both the vendors I spoke with I'm not digging in the trash to find my receipt. I got so frustrated after the second vendor that I just gave up and left. I don't think I'll be returning here for a while.

They just didn't have anything to offer. I don't expect to return. It's not "bad". There's just nothing here for me. I couldn't even find non sugar soda. I don't know who would like this, frankly. That's probably more of a statement about the limitations of my imagination than the place itself. The people I was with didn't find anything either, FWIW. I guess... if you like (new) Mexican food but are tired of (new) Mexican food then you can get pizza, Asian, burgers, chicken tenders, even chocolate bars with the same chile & cilantro flavor profiles in everything here. If you want that. This is the place.

The carne asada fries are fresh cut fries bathed in Chile con queso and their special sauce topped with carne asada, lettuce, tomatoes, and of course queso fresco.

The El Vado plaza chowdown paseo just keeps delivering on the flavor front…read more Today's hit was a stagger to the left one door upon exiting Heavenly Taste Cakery and landing in the premises of Street Food Sensations, which is right next door to the sweetery shop. Seems this Sensational eatery used to be a bus but lost it's wheels and is now permanently parked in the #2 spot just off Central Ave on the sunny El Vado open air patio/plaza. Bein' a fool for a Cubano sandwich, I succumbed to the moral obligation to order these friendly folks' Spicy Cubano version with parmesan & truffle chips on the side. When I got home & opened the to-go box I was duly impressed at the generous size of the sandwich. The handful of homemade lookin' chips was adequate at filling its corner of the container. From the first bite, the spicy aspect was not inside the sandwich. While well flavored, the Scoville scale on that sammie was on the low end of heat, particularly for the Burqueño crowd. However, the large'ish pepperoncini spiked to the top of the sandwich was the nuclear blast bringin' a little scorched earth policy to the party. We're talking nasal clearing, eye watering, tongue shrivelling, throat chokin' thermal overload. It was so good!! The flat bread on the sammie was chewy & sturdy enough to corral the layers of beef, ham, cheese, and pickles without degradation or deteriorating. The red chile mayo was super sparse, to the point of almost non-existent, and left me wanting for more to jack up the heat a bit. The beef was okay to good, being subtly spiced which let the umami taste shine through. Ham was of the water added variety so offered decent texture & moistness to the filling. But the smoke note in the mix was a soft one, not intense with the acrid attack often found in dry cure hams. Pickles were okay to good. Cheese was likewise okay to good, though not as spicy as I would hope for from a pepper jack cheese. The parmesan & truffle fries were of the sturdy sort. The good news being that they were surprisingly non-greasy in spite of being mottled in a pinto pony pattern of oil saturated patches across their surfaces. My fingers remained delightfully free of napkin dabbing while devouring the chips. The bad news being that they tasted like pretty much standard home made potato chips found everywhere. I didn't pick up the parmesan funkiness or pungency on them at all. So the chips were sort of a 3 star affair & just okay being crunchy, fried, salty enough without overdoing it, and not greasy. With the Cubano & chips being about a 3.5 star situation, it's the friendly cashier lady & cook who make Street Food Sensations a solid 4 star affair. I found them to be friendly and welcoming and fun. So kudos to the staff for being a bright addition to the sunny atmosphere of the El Vado eating scene.

The bar was very reasonable prices we had 3 drinks for $28 and I was shocked. The coffee shop at check in was very good too, along with the staff they were very friendly and helpful. The room is very nice and just right. The deco was scute and loved the little fridge. For being a remodeled retro building, it was quiet and I have stayed at some high end resorts where I could hear my neighbors talking in their room. I would absolutely recommend this motel on RT 66 and stay here again.

This place is decorated like you're walking into a 60s spot. I didn't get a chance to look at the food but I went to the bar this specific time. At the time we were the only folks there at 4pm and there were already items on menu that weren't currently available for a Tuesday afternoon. I ended up ordering the Pondy Pit Stop, which is lemonade and a New Mexican lime lager. Sounds very refreshing for this time of year. Sadly I was bummed to see it was just smiths lemonade poured into my glass. I think I preferred a fresher taste. It also felt like the bartender is getting to know the menu still hence why I'll give it some time and come back in the future. All in all it's a cute spot and I wish it well.

My husband and I finally decided to try this place since the owner of Sushi Xuan recommended it…read more Boy, what a disappointment! First off, we ordered the vegetable egg rolls for an appetizer, I do not recommend them since they are frozen ones. They were tasteless while the interior of these rolls were mushy, though the duck sauce was quite tasty it could not overcome these appetizers. Our entrees came next, my husband asked about the serving size and he was told a plate only fed one person, not true. The plate serves two. Anyway, the Kung Pao Chicken has really good flavor, was spicy and served with a side of steamed white rice. My husband's entree was Orange Chicken and nothing spectacular about it. But what will keep us from ever going back was that as we sat in the restaurant eating I started to smell cigarette smoke. It became more pronounced and I realized they were smoking in the kitchen and had the door open to where we were sitting. With that revelation my husband quickly got us out of there...the cigarette smoking inside the kitchen is a total dealbreaker.

It sort of felt like I was a child again and in the candy shop from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Over the last year, I have visited Albuquerque twice, and during those two trips, I went to the Sawmill Market three times. While I had different dishes for dinner on each of the visits, I certainly stopped by the Sweets Soda Fountain all three times. They have sodas and float where you can choose a flavor and then choose to "glow up" the soda or float by adding whipped cream, sprinkles, or cotton candy. They have 8 Sweets Originals including my favorite "The Orange Dream" made of orange juice, vanilla ice cream, orange sherbet, and soda water. They have "pour overs" which contain alcohol. They also have bubbles, and you can make any drink "boozy" by adding Prosecco and cordials. They also have a "Flight of the Unicorns" with three tastes of Prosecco topped with house-made cotton candy, which you can add macarons or bonbons if you want. I had "The Orange Dream" on two of the visits. It was tasty and reminded me of an orange dreamsicle or "creamsicle" popsicle. In addition to the drinks, they also have macarons, bonbons, gummies, cotton candy, and other kinds of pre-packed candies. I also met three different employees over the several months, who each gave me individual attention (especially as no one else was in line). One had me try a complimentary bonbon since she didn't know the difference in flavors. All answered my many questions and made recommendations of what to try. I was pleased with the service of the employees at Sweets Soda Fountain. They also took the Sawmill Market gift card. You can see the Sweets Soda Fountain menu by going to https://www.sawmillmarket.com/menus and clicking on Sweets Soda Fountain. They are open daily from 11 AM to 9 PM. While I didn't actually realize there were boozy beverages until after I left, I can see how this place would be popular with kids and adults alike. What a delightful experience visiting! I look forward to going back again on a future Albuquerque trip.
