I have been twice now to Slapfish on Paseo De Norte and both times have been exceptional. This last time Did not disappoint! The manager was so friendly and even gave my child free french fries while we waited! read more

Average food taste but super quick customer service. I came around 7:30 and they are not very busy during weekdays. Highly recommended. read more

I really enjoyed my first visit to Slapfish! The entrees are super unique and you can substitute any fish for any of their daily options. Also they have yummy house made sauces! It is a little bit expensive but when you are eating crab and lobster it is to be expected. The service is incredible! The staff explained everything to us as it was our first time there and checked on us at least 4 times. read more

I'm always on the hunt for a great lobster roll when I am traveling for work. So, I was happy to find a Slapfish in Albuquerque as I am familiar with the Southern California locations. Slapfish is always consistent: Quality lobster, generous portions. No surprises. That said, it can sometimes take awhile for a new location for any restaurant to follow suit and establish the same consistently good service and quality of food. Even at this new location, Slapfish was on point! Woot! After having a few subpar meals during my stay in Albuquerque, I was able to end the work trip on a high note. I was planning to eat my lobster roll at the airport or on my flight home. But, I dug in as soon as I got to my car and devoured the whole darn thing AND the fries while driving my rental car back. No shame. The lobster roll is the way to go here. Spend the extra few dollars. No point going to a lobster roll joint and getting a lobster quesadilla. Come on. Who does that??? read more

Nothing's perfect but wow this is pretty darn close!!! We enjoyed everything!! Fish and chips I give 5 's, the fish grilled taco 5 's, clam chowder fries OMGoodness amazing, Robin eggs yummy we hade the pickles my friends loved them and last but not least the cumber salad (missing something) good! We had just about everything on the menu and loved it!!! The owner was super nice and helpful, the staff incredible!!! We will Be back!!! Oh and my friend said the cabbage was yummy!! read more

I'd give it 3-3.5 for food, 5 for service. Had grilled Mahi Mahi over salad. Not much fish and assuming I said grilled, I didn't expect it to be so greasy. The ceviche was pretty good. I wish they had better hot sauces than just bottles of Tabasco and Cholulas. They should get Secret Aardvarks (from Oregon). read more

Split a lunch with a friend today. It was her choice to go here and my 2nd time here. The quality of the food was very good. We shared a bowl of clam chowder. It's thick (if you like thick, which I do) and had plenty of bacon and clams in the soup. I know some prefer and feel the thinner clam chowder is more authentic. It wasn't too loaded with potato as a filler, which I appreciated. The lobster grinder was this wonderful grilled bread opened up with chunks of lobster and shrimp; it was filled full when we cut it in half. Nice slight outside crunch texture to the grilled bread. French fries were perfectly crisp and seasoned and made fresh. The seasoning was not overloaded but just right. Dill pickle also accompanied the plate. The 2-fisted fish taco was just what it said. It's a crisp taco that was open-faced with lots of slaw and a generous piece of fried white fish. The fish was juicy with not one part of it being dry. One friend who visited me a while back coming from another state was afraid to try seafood in ABQ for fear that NM was too far from the ocean. I just came back from New Orleans, and I felt the seafood I got at Slapfish was just as fresh tasting as some I got in New Orleans. read more

Decent food! Terrible service and dirty bathrooms! We had two of the bowls--salmon and shrimp which were advertised as $10 on Sunday with the App. I'm not an App. person, but we wanted bowls and it was quite a savings! The counter person saw us downloading the app. and then took our order. So I said, "What happens now? How do we get the savings." He had no idea and asked someone in the back who said we would have had to order through the app. Too late, since he didn't know that and we were stuck! He seemed to be floating and lacked enthusiasm and obviously was not trained. I should have complained! Instead we paid the full price; deleted the app and will not go back! The trash receptacles were overflowing in both bathrooms and the only napkins they had were paper towels. Also, the bowls had a quinoa/rice mixture that was undercooked. read more

Brand new place in town. The fish is top notch and the presentation is superb. Now, the prices are up there, but come on, lobster, crab, and shrimp are not cheap items. The beer selection is the perfect size for this place and they have draft and bottled beers. They carry Maine soda and boy is that good. It will be packed for lunch, so don't be surprised if you have to wait. But it is worth it. All that and a friendly and experienced staff. I strongly suggest the dagwood or lobster roll. read more

I've been here a handful of times and am finally ready to deliver a verdict: FRESH FISH IN NEW MEXICO!!!! And it isn't just tilapia or cod; you've got daily specials like mahi mahi, ahi tuna, swordfish .... I like to try the specials when I come here because where else am I going to get decently sized portions of those fish? I'll be honest, first time I came here I got grouper cheeks grilled over rice and was very unimpressed. Fish cheeks are usually considered one of the best parts of the fish and in some circles a delicacy - they were dry and flavorless and it made me very sad. I came back and just had the regular fish and chips and loved the tempura-like batter on the fish. Came back again last night and tried it with the mahi, and oh man that was good. One ordering tip: Double portion. Always double portion. Friend of mine always gets the shrimp roll (with that same tempura-like breading), and the thing is bursting with shrimp. Always look tasty, but I promise myself I'll just get the lobster roll some other time. Great beer selection. Local favorites, plus I saw some Colorado selections. Always friendly staff .... Even when parents with wild little ones are claiming the establishment as their own literal mess hall. Sides are okay ... pretty standard fries. I was excited to try their fried pickles, but the spears are too big and they don't cool down very quickly at all - definitely burned the hell out of my mouth last night :( Can I just order a swordfish steak next time? read more

Huge portions rule the day here! I am not a big fan of fish but my coworkers convinced me to try it and I was impressed. The fish and chips sandwich came with fries on top of the sandwich which I just thought was strange and it made the sandwich to big to bite so I had to take them off. The pickle tasted kind of weird too but overall a great experience. I will eat here again. read more

This is the second time I have dined at this fantastic seafood restaurant, and I was absolutely blown away by the quality of their dishes, that's what had me coming back. The use of fresh ingredients was evident in every bite and is well presented. I had the Salmon Bowl, highly recommended. read more

This is a five stars plus. The three young people working were nice and extremely helpful. I ordered the softshell crab sandwich with a side salad, $16. My husband ordered the two piece fish with chips, $13. He loved it. The batter was crisp and stayed on fish while eating. The sign of hot oil. The fries were fresh and tasty. My crab was perfectly cooked and the accompanying tarter sauce had lots of dill which is much better then pickles. The side salad had various veggies. It's great they take the time to make a decent salad and not just their lettuce on a plate. read more

Excellent food and service. Mom and I had the ceviche to start off, then the poke bowl and the ultimate fish tacos (pay the extra for the beer battered, you won't regret it). The service was very friendly, prompt, and accurate. The beer battered fish tacos were the perfect amount of crunch to tortilla ratio with just the right amount of sauce. The poke bowl was very good, ahi was fresh and the veggies were crisp and delicious also. The soda fountain is awesome, from tractor beverage co., awesome craft sodas. Recommend this place if your looking for casual but excellent dinner. read more

My first time here...first impression is somewhere just north of unremarkable. I had 1 piece... fish and chips and my son had a pretty impressive fish sandwich. My "house fish of the day" was Hoki...a mild, coarse, flaky white fish. Jeremy's... couldn't say but he was happy. Chips we're nicely seasoned, hot and crispy. My breading was perfectly crisp and crunchy and did not overwhelm the fish. Mine with a draft beer was around $16. Not cheap but not over the top either. All in all a good value. Prompt, friendly service but if you want another beer you have to walk up to the counter and get it yourself. No lines so not a big deal. If there were lines...hmmm... might have to find out another time. Our table was checked on 5-6 times but they didn't appear to have a system whereby someone could bring you another drink and collect at your table. A bit of an inconvenience. All in all it's definitely a go to place for above average sea food. As a footnote I received some feedback that said a wait- person was available to take a drink order and collect accordingly. If that were true it didn't happen or the person we inquired of was not aware of that option. My son had to stand up and walk to the counter to get another beer. read more

Omg I'm in love with SlapFish!!!! I saved this place in my Yelp app because I figured my mother in law would love it, which she did! But I fell in love to! The set up in here isn't to big but can hold about 40 people or so. They have a good selection of beer( beer in can and local beer on draft), wine, soda (Tractor Soda I think is the soda brand). We came by on a Sunday and I ordered their lobster roll and bought my daughter the Ultimate Fish Taco( we had to substitute the fish for shrimp due to my daughter's allergies). The cashier we had both times was so helpful (yes I went twice in 24 hours don't judge)! And the lobster roll is amazing!! Please put this place as your to do while in Albuquerque! read more

First timer! Good, a little pricey for me but most seafood is here in the desert. Overall a good taste and experience. What really caught my attention was the soda fountain. The drinks offered here are all really delicious and they aren't your average coke or Pepsi products, they taste better and don't give me the super sugary feeling soda does. The customer service was top notch I felt like a friend being served lunch not just a customer:) read more

First time here and OMG it was truly amazing!! The restaurant is very modern in style and welcoming as well. When you walk into the restaurant, you see the menu which is not on your typical paper menu but a flat wooden board. So ingenious! Then you follow the walkway to the cashier where you can order what you want. They offer different types of fish that you can have as part of their daily specials. Either as a salad, sandwich or bowl. The hand written menu is changed daily. For this visit, I tired the grilled Hoki fish taco, fish and chips and their clam chowder. I have to honestly say, this place was fantastic! I loved their huge sized portions. All menu items were delicious! I will definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu. Keep up the good work Slapfish! You rock! read more

Had been wanting to try this place out for awhile... easy to find, but not in the best location. They greet you friendly (and loudly) at the door. Since it was our first time here, the young man at the counter wanted to explain to us the menu and options (much to the annoyance of my dad). We got the "clobster" with fries, the grilled tilapia with fries, and the handheld fish taco. A little pricey, but the place started filling up quickly. The food came out fast- the clobster warm but not hot, well seasoned, and much more meat than I had expected. The fries were well seasoned and tasty. They had a variety of different sodas and the coconut one was ah-mazing. The fish taco also a good size. There was one man a few tables over that mumbled something to the owner about not liking his fish n'chips. They brought him another, only for him to not like that one either (guess the fish was too "strong" for him). The "Dagwood" sandwiches others had ordered at the table over looked delish. My dad had said afterwards that he wished he would've gotten his fish fried instead (although still good), but the fries a little soggy underneath the fish. The sandwich was reasonable not overly huge, but for someone who usually doesn't finish a whole meal, I'm surprised I ate all of that! Adding bacon and green chile to the clobster would be heaven next time read more

As expected, this was nothing more than the hugely salty airport food with the airport price tag. A meal for 4 people with tip cost $200. It's a franchise, what else would the outcome be? American diners are so easily duped by the usual heavy salt & heavy seasoning offered by these franchises. They equate that tripe with quality. No wonder obesity and hypertension are rampant. My barracuda sandwich special was a salty, sloppy, messy thing. The taquitos had a very strong fish taste. I couldn't wait to get home to brush, waterpick and floss this meal out of my mouth. Just another boring franchise. I wish I had protested the idea of going here more strongly. read more

Fast Casual walk up style joint. The order taker was friendly and efficient. I got the fish n chips. It was delicious but the portion size for the price was a little too much $$ hence the reduction in a star. The tartar sauce was delish too! Chips were fried just right and had a special spice on them which I enjoyed. Overall solid choice. D. read more

We ate at a very crowded Slapfish tonight. There was a long line to order, but we got our food in about 20 - 25 minutes, which isn't bad considering that every seat was filled, even on the patio and people were waiting for take out orders also. The parking situation there is tough though, so be prepared to circle the lot a couple of times. We'll definitely be back, parking challenges and all. Hubby had the fish and chips which he really enjoyed. He got the 1 piece portion and it was pretty large. He had enough to eat and was glad he didn't order 2 pieces. I had the sautéed veggies, cuke salad and fries. The cuke salad has a bite to it - it was vinegary, but very good. The ingredients were very crisp and fresh, definitely worth trying again. Fries were served piping hot, which is always great in my book. The sautéed veggies were okay. Lots of zucchini and yellow squash, small amount of cauliflower and carrots as well as some pickled onion. I appreciated there were things for me to eat since I don't care for most seafood, but wanted to come because I knew my husband would love it. They did say I could order the fried shrimp next time without the roll - it comes with the shrimp and 2 sides so I'll probably try that because the fried shrimp looked great. Overall we had a good visit. My husband said the fish and chips was as good as he used to always get when we lived in England, which is high praise for him. If you haven't given it a shot, check them out. The employees were very friendly and courteous even while rushed off their feet. Management has obviously done a good job of training their staff to work together so cohesively in such a new restaurant. read more

I came to Slapfish on Taco Tuesday for the first time. The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly and answered all of our questions. Never having been here, I wanted to try a few different things so we ordered off the appetizer menu. Since the tacos were buy one get one free because of Taco Tuesday, I ordered two grilled tacos. The tacos had great flavor and were moist. The corn tortillas were a little flimsy, but tasted more authentic than in most restaurants. I also ordered the lobster taquitos and the shrimp ceviche. These were just ok at best. The filling in the lobster taquitos was a bit mushy and quite honestly, I couldn't discern the lobster in them. The ceviche was disappointing because it was more of a shrimp cocktail than any ceviche I've ever had or made. However, the homemade chips were amazing - some of the best in town! The soda is also great - unique and artisan with flavors like ginger beer or coconut. Definitely a must have if you're eating here. I wanted to like this place more than I did. I'll be back for Taco Tuesday, but in general, it's just a little too pricey for what you get. And as far as ceviche, I've had way better. read more

I used to absolutely love this place. However they restructured their entire menu. They no longer have fresh fish, and the salad is a sad sad salad compared to the previous quality. They have also omitted a lot of the best previous items. Save your money and buy fish from Costco, better quality and flavor. So very sad as this was previously one of our favorites. read more

SO Disappointed. I ordered the Lobster Grinder and it was a little bit of shrimp and Pollock (a cheap white fish sometimes referred to as imitation lobster and crab). Doubtful I'll be going back in the future and if I do, definitely won't order the Lobster grinder. Buyer beware. Apparently they have new corporate owners. read more

Slapfish is a great takeout option! Every visit, I order the supreme fish taco which is offered fried or grilled and comes topped with coleslaw and chipotle mayo. Considering the size and toppings, I was a bit worried this meal would be a bit too messy for takeout, but the restaurant has done a wonderful job at adapting. Not to mention, our food is always ready within 10-15 minutes, so it's a quick call before leaving home. Will definitely be returning! read more

This review is from my visit on 02/20/19, around 2pm. I decided to go to Slapfish, instead of one of my favorites, Blaze, for lunch. While there, I was looking at their list of fish available, on the butcher paper by the registers. I was intrigued by the grouper, but the additional $4.50 cost was a bit out of my price range, at the time. I ended up ordering a fish sandwich with the Hoki fish (which I was told was used in their fish and chips, which is also excellent). Sandwich and drink ordered, I waited, and had their Maine Root, I believe beverages (lemonade). The sandwich was delicious (had it with Awesome sauce). This was my umpteen time here, and I have yet to be disappointed. read more

You order at the counter and choose a table to eat at. The overall restaurant as well as bathrooms are extremely clean. I had the shrimp burrito. I honestly thought that the picture looked way better than it tasted. I didn't think it tasted that well. When the restaurant employee delivered the food to me, the salsa container was halfway falling over. The employee grabbed the container so that it wouldn't fall and set it back upright. But when they grabbed it, the grabbed it in a way with their thumb touching the salsa that I was to eat. It was disgusting. read more

I'm soooo full that I can't even type. I was craving seafood!! Being from the Caribbean, eating seafood is like drinking your daily eight glasses of water (or more). While we may not be that sure exactly where the fish visiting our waters came from we can see the guy who fished it!... Anyways, I expect that to count as part of my following statements and not as a bad joke for vegans!... But, hey! I admit that I want to know from where my food is coming and how it came to my table. Plus!!! I'm not a big fan of franchises and when I'm in doubt I go vegan all the way (which is pretty often), but when you say the magic words: "socially responsible and sustainable" I replay with a: "shut up and take my money!" We arrived and discovered a peacefully quiet restaurant. It was our first time here so, even though, I made a bit of research about the place and had in mind what I wanted to try, still seems like there was a question mark in front of our faces. We were casually but effusively greeted right away, asked if it was our first time visiting and kindly guided to their counter. My daughter was having a hungry moment so it was a challenge to deal with her and the person who was taking care of us was super patient and took his time to explain the menu and beer tasting. I admired how much he was enjoying it! -- I'm a faithful believer of when employees are proud of what they are offering, the service is always going to exceed expectations. I cannot recall if I ever have been at a franchise (since I avoid them for so many reasons) where after you order the service get extended far away from the counter and, honestly, I started to forget I was in one. We arrived around 4:15pm and at 5:00pm people start to show up. My daughter and I enjoyed the Lobster Taquitos, they taste amazing and they aren't too spicy for kids. She also had two servings of their natural sodas fountain, which is a treat for her since she rarely has had regular coke in her eight years living in earth... at least no under my watch! -- She has abuelos, you get me, right? read more

The food was absolutely AMAZING and the atmosphere was perfect. The customer service was exceptional! I couldn't believe how "fresh" the seafood was (I questioned the chef on where the seafood came from). I loved how the team accommodated my "special requests" - everything was made to order so it wasn't a "hassle" to order. It's hard to find a family restaurant nailing all the points above AND having kids approve (6 & 8). We'll be visiting frequently!
