Oh emm gee!!! This place is da bomb diggity! Seafood? In the desert? You say....well, don't let that turn you off. This is every bit as good as any seafood shack you find on the coast, east or west (and trust me, I've been because I like divey little seafood shacks). The crobster grilled cheese was awesome and I had the lobster roll. I've never had a lobster roll so jam-packed full of lobster. And, frankly, the best lobster roll I've had (even next to Luke's Lobster, for you east coasters). I'm pretty sure it was the super expensive thing on our bill but it was too good to care. The waitstaff was PHENOMENAL, especially for a counter service type of place. We also had the chowder fries which were definitely different but loaded with clams. All in all, ABQ needed a place like this. A little on the pricey side but that's what you get for super duper fresh seafood. It's delish and has a great beer selection. Cool ambiance too. Definitely a keeper and one of our new faves! read more

First time here and let me say...wow! You walk in and the atmosphere is very quaint, it kind of reminds me of a chipotle style restaurant -- but so much better! The lady taking orders was very helpful in explaining the menu and how everything worked and the other gentleman working was very personable and talked with us for a bit about cooking styles for fish. Awesome service! The food was nothing to sneer at either, some of the best food I've had in a while! I was recommended the Clobster and Cheese sandwich which came with a side of fries drizzled with chowder! The cheese melted deliciously with the hearty serving of lobster for a beautifully delectable flavor that was to die for! Did I mention that they serve beer and wine as well? A good selection for such a small location, followed by a soda machine that is anything but average! All organic craft sodas with no high fructose corn syrup; this place is definitely worth the price tag! read more

Oh, Slapfish you're my hero! Albuquerque's seafood options tend to run more along the LJS or Captain D's, neither of which are my favorite. In fact, I would usually rather NOT eat seafood here if I can help it. When you walk in, there are menus to peruse while you wait in line (we were there at lunchtime and it was busy, so this was helpful!). Ordering happens at the counter, then they give you a number to put on your table & bring your food when it's ready. Easy peasy. This concept seems to be hard for some people, though I'm not sure why. Lots of places (including some in Albuquerque) operate the same way. I had the shrimp roll. You get to choose if you'd like fried shrimp or grilled. Today, I chose fried. I got regular fries because I am sadly not a fan of chowder... but they were delicious! Well seasoned and crisp. The sandwich was awesome as well, plenty of giant shrimp. You get to choose a sauce, but I just requested them all on the side to taste. They're all good, different flavors and all compliment seafood well. The bread is buttery and has a nice crust on the outside. The shrimp were well battered and cooked perfectly. All of the food I saw on other tables looked delicious. In fact, a man had a salmon sandwich that I was quite jealous of. Next time, that's my order! The menu here is all seafood, but it's diverse AF. Salad? Yep. Sandwich? Yep. Bowl (rice and delicious stuff?) yep. Grilled, fried, chilled... they got you. The fresh fish options vary, based on market... and some things are priced at market price. The owner (Eric) was working the counter, and I literally had to tell him thank you for bringing this here. Seafood, Cali style is such a refreshing change from the normal options. Yay! read more

Slapfish has hands down the best fish and chips in Albuquerque. I definitely get random cravings all the time for their fish it is extremely fresh and just overall delightful.

Service here is spectacular. They really go out of their way to tend to you, the owner and everyone who works there are just super friendly. I was pretty psyched to find out they opened another seafood joint here in abq. Especially one that serves lobster rolls. I mean the food was good. But the price for the amount of food is a little disappointing I get it, it's seafood, but on some orders it's like your paying for the fries. Majority of the food is the fries. The fries....it's seasoned heavily and looks red. Looks so flavorful. Thought it was going to be flavorful, but the fries are just bland. I haven't given up on this place tho. I will be back to try the other things on the menu....when I feel like splurging. read more

My husband and I shared the lobster roll double (double the lobster) is a must. I wouldn't suggest getting it with the regular amount of lobster because the bread would overpower the lobster. I also wouldn't suggest getting fries with it because it is so filling but the fries were really good. We also shared the clam chowder and it was super good! It was my first time having clam chowder and my husband just raced about it. It was pretty damn good! I love the chunks of vegetables, bacon, and clams... My daughter tried the kids fish and chips, which I told her was fish sticks. At first look she thought she was supposed to get actual sticks and didn't want to try it but our rule is: you must try one bite and if you don't like it, that's fine. She ate almost half of the order (which is a LOT for a 4 year old!). The order was seriously enough to feed one adult! The gentleman that helped us was super friendly and nice. He asked us a few times how everything was and checking in on us. Bring one of these babies to DFW! read more

Slapfish does the trick for fast casual Seafood with a hip trendy environment. Of course it's not like having it in Cali silly goose, we are here in the Q, that's a given, this is about a Franchisee owner bringing jobs, growth & fast Casual Seafood to the Q, l applaud & appreciate they are here, and hopefully to stay.

I've been wanting to check out this place for a while. My husband and I came here for dinner one Friday. The decor is very nice and reminded me of places in Baltimore and Virginia. The staff is super friendly and the food was great. We started off with the chowder fries and fish taco. For an uncharge my husband got the fish taco beer battered. For our main meal he had one fish and chips and I had the lobster grinder. My husband enjoyed the his fish and I truly enjoyed the lobster grinder. There were plenty of lobster in it. It was surprising to bite into it cold. I've had similar one before in Baltimore but they were served hot. Overall it was a good experience. I understand fresh seafood is hard to get here and I appreciate what this place is doing for the seafood scene here in the ABQ, but the price to eat here was a bit shocking. For what we ordered plus two fountain drinks we paid as much as eating at Papadaux. We will probably be back to appease a craving but this won't be on our regular weekend rotation. read more

I had been waiting for this place to open and I was really excited to try it. I was immediately greeted as I walked in and the staff had exceptional customer service. The atmosphere read slightly cold to me and the temperature in the actual restaurant was cold too. However, it did have a modern vibe. My mom and I ordered what the employees were raving about: fish and chips and lobster taquitos. The lobster taquitos came out first. It was served on a bed of slaw. I was very hungry and munched it down. I thought the flavor was slightly one leveled as it tasted like mostly dough and the drizzle of sauce on top. My mom unravelled hers and found a tablespoon (if I'm being generous) of lobster inside. I probably wouldn't purchase those again. I know lobster is expensive but I would rather pay more than get minimal meat and all dough for $6.50. The fish and chips came in two sizes: 4 oz and 6 oz. I think the pricing was 9$ for 4oz and $13 for 6 oz. The cashier recommended we share the 6 oz because it was "a good amount of food". I can understand this because we're small girls. When the food came out it looked good and the fish looked well sized, until we picked up our 2 pieces of fish, they were arched upward to make it look like they were big underneath like an illusion. They were thin pieces and were also greasy. The fish was flaky and had regular fish and chips flavor. The seasoned fries beneath them had a good flavor but were a little dried out for my liking which may just be the way they make them. To be honest we left hungry and even thought about going to Blaze Pizza next door to get more food. As far as drinks they offered a wide selection with no Coca Cola products which is noteworthy. They make their own sodas which is pretty cool. I tried the lemon lime flavor and it didn't taste like much. Maybe the other flavors would of been tastier. The ice they had was amazing, it was that good soft ice that everyone loves. I did like the presentation of the foods and thought it was appropriate for the price range. Overall I would say this place was average, nothing spectacular but nothing bad either. After having Papadeaux in Albuquerque it's easy to compare seafood to them, but I also think they are different as Papadeaux is more fancy and Slapfish is more casual. I would go back here if my friend said "let's go", but probably not in my own preference. read more

Since moving to New Mexico, I've had an ironclad rule- I don't order fish. Now that Slapfish is in the house, that rule has been discarded. You see, as long time SoCal residents, we've been enjoying Slapfish at the Laguna Beach locale for years. And now it's here!! Eric has done a great job of recruiting a top notch staff. The food is as good and fresh as ever, and we LOVE the regional addition of green chile. We don't miss a whole lot about SoCal, but good quality seafood prepared right is one.

She answered our questions about the food, explained the dishes made for their 40th anniversary, and checked on us often. Mom and I both ordered the shrimp montage. It was the limited time dish made for their 40 Fest and it was delicious!!! I also ordered the crispy shrimp spring rolls. They came with fresh lettuce leaves. The concept it to wrap them in the lettuce to give them more crunch. YUM!!! They were delicious. The cream cheese gave it that extra umph! They were bigger than I expected so I brought some home. Oh yeah, the garlic bread is divine! My partner ordered the seafood campanelle pasta, but replaced the Campanella pasta with linguini. We both love octopus, so I had to try it. That dish was also tasty. The pesto sauce was so fresh! She also brought the sweet potato pecan pie home. It was good. It tasted like your typical pecan pie with a hint of sweet potato. For drinks I had their local IPA, Mom had a margarita, and my partner had the pineapple refresher which was tasty. It's been year since I've been to Pappadeaux, but this visit reminded me why I love it so much. I'll make sure to come back on my next visit home.

Usually I need to ad a little salt. Not with this one. My only complaint about the meal was the loaf of bread. It was a crusty baguette, but there was nothing to cut it with. When we ripped into it, the crumb turned into a ball of dough and list all of the airiness that makes bread good. Our server was great. She was very patient and took time to explain the special menu they had for a three course meal that helped benefit the local food bank. She was very attentive, but not assertive. It was well decorated and had a pleasant atmosphere. However, being seated next to the bar AND the kitchen, it was quite loud and noisey. The servers were very noisy slamming the tray stands around. But, I am not going to deduct a star for that. If we had sat elsewhere, it would not have been so bad. Would I go again? Absolutely. I recommend that everyone should try it at least once!

"We can cook them more was the response we got" If you know anything about shellfish you should know If mussels don't open when you cook them, the usual rule is: don't eat them. * Most of the time: a mussel that stays closed after cooking was already dead before cooking, and that can make it unsafe to eat. * Food safety rule: toss any that don't open after being fully cooked. So absolutely not and risk getting sick I complained said I want them removed do you think they removed them NO they still charged us for half when I had 14 mussels sitting there unopened.

We initially decided on this place because they offered oysters on a half shell. I figured they would be small oysters, but no, these oysters reminded me of the size of gulf oysters. The oyster dish came with all of the fixings, horseradish sauce, cocktail sauce, tabasco sauce, lemons, and crackers. I enjoyed every single bite. We ordered a seafood boil dish combo #2 that came with Dungeness Crab Legs, shrimp, clams, sausage, red potatoes, and corn in a crab house cajun sauce with heat level medium spicy. The boil came out just as I finished my last oyster. I failed to take a picture of the beautiful seafood dish before us. Plan to get messy with this place. They put down paper on the table when arriving, and they give gloves and a bib to wear. I took off all of my rings and I got busy cracking and peeling. The cajun garlic butter sauce was so flavorful. I couldn't get enough of it. I swept and dipped my seafood pieces around in it until I could scoop up enough to enjoy with every bite. Our server was attentive to our needs, and the bathroom was clean upon my visit. I didn't mind the walls and poles that were written on. It added its own character.

Our server was good, but it seemed as though the staff was stretched pretty thin - they all buzz around quickly, but we could go long stretches without seeing her. The interior is warm but radiates being dated and in need of a refresh. The noise level was low enough that we could have conversations easily at our table. The calamari appetizer was delicious. Fellow diners loved their fried catfish and steak. I had the oven roasted halibut - I thought the fish had gotten a little dry and found the seasoning unsatisfying. I ordered vegetables as one of my sides - I enjoy them somewhat al dente, but my vegetables were raw and lukewarm at best - I am not sure how that failure occurred. The salad we got (three of us had ordered a salad as our side) was the highlight of the meal for me - a big, fresh tossed greens salad to be shared - the Italian dressing came in a repurposed Grolsh beer bottle - clever! The prices were higher than I would have expected given the size and quality of the meals. Seems like a very popular spot in Albuquerque, but I don't believe we will return.

Love the food and drinks here. It has always been top notch!

This charming little bistro near the south end of Old Town is elegant, welcoming, and truly a hidden gem. Having convenient on-site parking was a nice bonus, and we were warmly welcomed as soon as we arrived. Our server, Christopher, made the evening even more memorable. He was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He also took the time to recommend several local restaurants and places to visit, which we really appreciated. We started with the mussels, and they were outstanding--fresh, tender, and served in a rich, spicy butter broth with perfectly toasted crusty bread for dipping. My cedar plank salmon was cooked beautifully, full of flavor, and paired with a delicious chorizo risotto. My husband ordered the filet mignon, and after trying a bite, I can understand why he said it was one of the best steaks he's ever had. The mushroom risotto and seasonal vegetables were the perfect complement, and the fresh salad with homemade dressing was a great start to the meal. To top off the evening, the staff surprised me with a three-flavor sherbet dessert complete with a birthday candle and a thoughtful personalized birthday card. It was such a sweet touch that made me feel truly celebrated. We couldn't leave without trying the German chocolate cake, and it was the perfect ending to an unforgettable dinner. Everything from the food to the service exceeded our expectations. We can't wait to come back and try more of the menu the next time we're in town.

My other friend got the steak kabobs and she loved her also. The service was decent. We did sit for about 30 minutes at one point before ordering and we were already a bit behind schedule in trying to get out for a play at Albuquerque Little Theater. We let our server know and he didn't really help us out much. We got to our play on time, but barely. He also seemed annoyed at us for letting him know we needed to get out of there. He actually seemed annoyed about a few different things. I've had other servers there that are much kinder and more patient. He knows his food, but he is not the kindest. I do want to check out the little bar area they just opened. It looks more relaxed. They mostly have high tables over in that new bar area which my little short legs don't appreciate, but sitting at the bar sounds fabulous. I'll definitely be back! Cheers!

So I always check yelp before I go out to eat to see what I see in positive, negative and then people that just plain complain. I saw that Slapfish in Albuquerque had 4.5 stars which in my book is very good as you will never please everyone. I read in previous reviews that the owner was very involved and thats very rare. He was not present during my visit but the staff acted as if the owner was in the building with their amazing customer service. I also read that the seafood was as fresh as you can get in the desert. I ordered the daily fish bowl and upgraded to the swordfish that they had fresh from Hawaii. Let me tell you I've been to Hawaii and this was just as good as if I was eating it there. I then saw some people complaining about their togo food being cold. As a person whom eats out a lot I get a lot of togo food. So I decided to get some food togo to see why there was a review about cold togo food. I ordered a side of fries and a daily fish salad with the salmon that they had. When I got home the fries were not as hot as they would be if I had eaten there but it was a 15 min drive home. That was to be expected. What I did love was that for the salad they kept the fish separate from the mixed greens and veggies so that the fish stayed warm and the salad stayed cold. They also put the vinaigrette dressing on the side that tasted home made so that the salad did not get wilted. I dont know what else you would expect from fresh togo food? They handled it the best they could while not compromising quality. There are just some things that won't keep warm forever and people need to understand that. GOOD JOB Slapfish as I can see you're trying. People if you want a togo order then you need to expect that it will not be like if you ordered it yourself. Try making your dinner at home and let it sit out for 20 min and then see if it tastes as good or if its still hot. All in all I would definitely recommend this place for dine in or carry out. read more

I don't normally write reviews for good service and food but this place deserves the recommendation. I have visited other soapfishes in the country and always had great food and found that they are getting very consistent. Kudos to you Slapfish, as now I can get your food across the country. The reason I wanted to post about this particular location is that typically when you go to a fast casual concept place you dont get the full service aspect. This location took the fast casual concept to another level. It started from the owner and I hope I have the name right Eric taking our order and even though we knew what we wanted he treated it like we had never dined at Slapfish before. He walked us through the whole menu and answered all of our questions. He even gave us some history of how it started as a food truck in California and just made it seem like we were family. My wife really appreciated the extra time and care he took. That wasn't what really got us. After our food came out there was a server and I can't remember her name but she came and checked on us and then another server came by and he offered to refill our drinks and get us more sauces and napkins. Then they even bussed our tables and got us togo stuff. Normally with a fast casual after you get your food you never see a staff member again. This location went above and beyond to give us great service. The food was just as good as other locations. Whatever you're doing Slapfish keep it up. Would sure recommend this location for great service and good food. read more

I just moved here a year ago from the east coast and have been afraid to have seafood in the desert. I have been to Slapfish twice now the first time on a recommendation from a co-worker, the second because the first time was so delicious. I only have a very limited time for lunch and when I saw a line in there when I went in I was very skeptical that I would not be able to enjoy my lunch. The owner actually took my order and when I told him I was in a hurry for lunch he assured me that it would be out in 10min. I laughed inside as I didn't think that was possible and that he was just saying that to not lose the sale. Low and behold he had it out in 11 min and I was very impressed. We joked together about the 1 min difference but I was still very impressed. They have also had different specials and different fish in each time I have gone in. I asked for halibut as its my favorite and the owner even gave me his card and said let him know when I would be coming back and he would get some. I don't know any other place that takes this much pride. It is a new regular spot for me and I am now a regular. One thing I could say for to give constructive criticism would be that the music was a tad loud but now I'm splitting hairs. read more

As I pop a Tums in my mouth, here's what I think. On the fast-food-fish-scale, it's OK. It's a step-up substitute for Long John Silver's on a Friday in Lent. You leave with that same greasy coating in your mouth, but you don't have to wait in line for it and they have a small selection of beer and canned wine to wash it down and make it seem a tad better. If you're feeling festive, they even offer single-serve bottles of Gruet to accompany your very greasy fried pickles and spicy fries. On an up note, the ceviche was actually good. As a first--time-try-it-out-trip, we did play it safe with the fish and chips, pickles (regular and fried), ceviche and a cup of clam chowder. Will we be going back to attempt the scallops and other menu items that other Burqueños are raving about? I'm willing to try it again. Maybe we caught the kitchen on an off day (after Howie was there). The staff of friendly and kind Millenials is always smiley-making, and the place is neat and clean with nicely spaced seating. But seriously, this will never be worthy of a 5-Star rating in my book. I had to pat the grease off my fried fish... that's worth a slap, but not a good one.Popping another Tums... read more

Just found this little gem in the heights. I heard about it last week at the duke city gladiator game and thought to give it a try since it was locally owned. I will begin to say that I am not a huge fan of seafood so I decided to just start with their large salad with fresh grilled fish. They even let me add bacon to it which actually made it even better as how can you go wrong with bacon. So after trying the fish I am now converted to liking it. Slapfish you're doing something right. It is a fast casual concept but they even came and refilled my drink TWICE and bussed my table and checked on me multiple times. It felt like it was a full service restaurant. I know the prices seem a little high but you pay for what you get and would you really want "cheap" seafood in the desert, so when I hear people complaining about it I now educate them as I know where to get great seafood. Just one question, when will there be one on the west side? read more

All I can say is this is the only place to get fish in the city that is fresh. I have been in 3 times now and each time they have had different fish on the menu and I love that about a place that has an ever changing menu. You also dont see many establishments where the owner is involved and cares as much as he does. I didn't catch his name, he should introduce himself more as it was a pleasure both times he was here. He even refilled our drinks and was checking on everyone in the dining room. If you have never had "chowder fries" then you are missing out. They even recommended for us to try it with green chili which sounded weird. They then offered to put it one the side and the owner said if we didn't like it he would buy it that he was that confident. We decided to take him up on that and boy was he right those were the best and now we get them every time. We definitely recommend this place. THEY EVEN SERVE LOCAL DRAUGHT BEER. read more

After dining at the other local location we found this one closer to our home and was worried that the consistency would be lacking like at most franchises. I was wrong again as it was just as friendly and inviting . They were cleaning non stop while the servers were both congregating up front they were still busy cleaning. Thank you again slapfish for making sure you go the extra yard to make sure the public is safe and taken care of. This is twice in three days that we have been to slapfish in Albuquerque and we keep getting impressed. We decided to get something off of the specials which was I believe I got it right "grinder balls" , while I'm not sure what all was in them these things are amazing. So if you're looking for great unique food with good service and a clean restaurant then look no further. We can't wait for what new fish and special they have next week. read more

I have been to this new restaurant at least 5 times now and every time they have DIFFERENT fish to go with their standard menu. What other seafood place has a rotating fish menu with fresh fish? Red lobster? NO. papadauex? NO. Pelicans? NO. All of those corporate places should take a note from Slapfish. Having a different choice every time you visit is amazing. I dont know how they do it. The fountain drinks are amazing and different. Its craft soda but not to worry if you are a "coke" person they have those too. They even serve local beer and wine. The staff has also been nothing short of amazing every time. They treat every time like its the first time and go above and beyond with everything. I have now found my new favorite spot for seafood. Slapfish when will you be opening another location here in Albuquerque? Keep up the good work! read more

At first I was skeptical to get "fresh" seafood in the desert as I didn't think that It was possible. Well Slapfish in Albuquerque did not disappoint. After eating the amazing fish and chips with their wild caught Hoki I dont know if I will be able to eat fish and chips anywhere else. Yes they can be a bit pricy but it is amazing seafood in a landlocked state. On a different note come to find out that it was the owner that took our order and he was so informative and helpful walking us through the menu even with my wife who asked question after question. He made us feel welcome and invited. He even checked on everyone in the dining room and buses our table. Great food and even Better service.

Food is outstanding, and anyone that says it is pricy obviously doesn't know what quality seafood tastes like. You are getting high quality seafood in a fast Casula atmosphere and if you got this food in a sit down restaurant then the prices would be more than double so people stop complaining about the price just because it isn't fine dining. You are paying for the amazing food. Thank you Slapfish we will be back. read more

Came in from out of town and had an amazing meal. It was recommended by the hotel and it did not disappoint. You could tell that the fish was fresh even being in a land locked state. The only thing was it did take a little bit of time to get our meal but when it came out it was worth the wait. I wouldn't recommend the lobster roll (just at this time) due to lobster prices and the simple economics of the price being ridiculously high.

Dang, I love to support local business and especially Polynesian food. I grew up with eating L&L…read more I have to say I was kinda disappointed with my last $80 order. Did a wide variety of foods. Bbq beef ribs were good, Katsu chicken was amazing, never disappoints, but the Kalua pork was NOT good. Almost tasted like they cooked it with mesquite instead of hickory. And the Mac salad was not good. Basically mayo with a side of elbow pasta. Zero flavor. I love this chain but I expect consistency especially after they've been open for a while? I make this same stuff at home ALL the time, but sometimes you don't wanna cook? I hope this was an off day?

This was not our first choice. There is a Vietnamese place a few doors down that we were excited…read moreto try, but it was closed. Rather than driving to another place, I suggested giving Cielito Lindo a try. I had seen it grow over the years, so I figured it must be okay. It was packed inside! We were seated in an enclosed patio-type room. Due to the size of our group, we were seated at a high table, with incredibly sturdy tall chairs. (Being a bigger man, I appreciated that these tall chairs were heavy and well-built!) Our gorgeous waitress was quick to bring us menus and explain a few things to us. She took our drink and food orders quickly. There was music playing, but it wasn't too loud. Our table was near the bar, but only one couple was seated at the bar. Food came out in waves. My niece and her husband both ordered ceviche. They got their orders last. My mother and sister got tacos. They were served first. I ordered milanesa and it came a few minutes after the tacos. Portion sizes are much bigger than I expected, especially considering the prices were cheaper than pretty much any other similar restaurant in the area! This is Mexican food, not New Mexican. I love NM food, but I live in California, so I am used to Mexican food. This hit the spot. Salsas were good. Beans were delicious. I was so full! My niece and her husband loved the ceviche and announced they would return for more another day. My mother and sister didn't finish their orders of tacos, so they ended up taking lots of food home. Where everything fell apart was trying to pay the bill. I realize they were busy, but our waitress simply disappeared. We were seated by the kitchen and we could see in. She went in and didn't emerge for 20 minutes. I tried flagging down anyone to get the bill. Finally the bill came. I tried to pay her but she was carrying food to a table and didn't come back for another 10 minutes. That was incredibly frustrating. Good food. Decent atmosphere. I think maybe next time, I will ask for the bill right away, so I can leave soon after finishing my meal.

So really I came here for the 599 all day special on huevos rancheros I saw advertised online…read more Turns out that's only their other location. Here it was 799. The place was crowded for lunch. I was sort of surprised at about half the patrons were drinking beers chips and hot salsa for the table. Food was good. Portions were good for the price. Service was good. I'd come back again.

But we also went late, so I'm not sure if because of that the experience was different. I just didn't feel like the food was made fresh it was mostly warmed up as how I felt.
