I can't say Total Wine & More in Uptown Albuquerque, NM, had everything I wanted - because they…read moredidn't - but close enough. I like the organization of this chain every time I walk inside. This location was clean, organized, and always had nice attentive employees ready to assist. I came here on November 26, 2025 hoping to find Old Elk Blended Straight Bourbon Whiskey for my brother and girlfriend for Christmas. They had a bottle, but not the less expensive one they would want. So my sales guy gave me other recommendations that worked just fine. The young lady at the register was nice, but not as fast as the other employees. Parking was a bit tight but I think this was due to the hustle and bustle of the then approaching Thanksgiving holiday.

Tried Duke's City BBQ while passing through Albuquerque and came away feeling a bit mixed. The food…read morewas prepared well and the portions were fair, but overall it just lacked the flavor I was hoping for from a BBQ spot. The meat was tender enough, but the seasoning and smoke profile seemed pretty mild, leaving the dishes tasting a little flat. The service was friendly and the restaurant was clean, which made for a pleasant visit. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with the meal, but nothing really stood out either. I found myself reaching for sauce to add some of the flavor I felt was missing. Overall, it was an average BBQ experience. If you're in the area, it may be worth trying for yourself since tastes vary, but for me it didn't quite live up to the bold flavors I typically look for in good barbecue.

It proudly carries what can only be described as the United Nations of snacks. These are the treats your trendy teenagers have been "Tik-Tok-ing" into viral fame--the kind with packaging that compels them to snap that selfie and send it out into the ether in a nanosecond. The shelves read like a passport: confections from Lebanon, Dubai, China, South Korea, Taiwan, and beyond. Exotic chocolates that make domestic candy seem shy by comparison. Chips in flavors you didn't know were legal. And then there's the drink selection--a kaleidoscope of juices, sodas, and energy drinks adorned with beloved anime characters and designs that blur the line between beverage and collectible. It's less of a cooler and more of a museum exhibit, except here you're encouraged--no, expected--to participate. The true heart of the place, however, is the gentleman behind the counter. His zeal is palpable. He's not merely ringing up purchases; he's hosting an adventure. His warmth and enthusiasm make you feel less like a customer and more like a co-conspirator in discovering something wonderful. Human connection at it's finest. Yes, the prices lean toward the premium side, but that feels less like indulgence and more like reality--importing the world isn't cheap, and tariffs are no respecter of snack-based diplomacy. What you're really paying for is access: access to flavors, cultures, and moments that would otherwise require a boarding pass. And Monaco Market doesn't stop at snacks. It's also a treasure chest of viral odds and ends--shirts, gifts, toys, and knick-knacks that feel handpicked for people who appreciate the joy of novelty. Every shelf feels intentional, like a curated rebellion against the ordinary. And rumor has it a ramen bar is on the horizon, promising a quick nosh for those who want something warm to accompany their global snack pilgrimage. Bottom line: Monaco Market is pure FUN. It's a place where curiosity is rewarded, where novelty is celebrated, and where you're reminded that sometimes the smallest treats carry the biggest sense of wonder. Albuquerque is lucky to have it--and I suspect many of us will be back, if only to prove to our teenagers that we, too, know what's cool... eventually.

The Prairie Star's location has a fabulous view of the Sandia Mountains. We watched storms move across the horizon through out our meal. Easily want to spend time relaxing and watching the world go by. Our arrival timing was perfect for immediate seating, definitely want reservations. There are covered parking places available in the lot. The staff is well practiced and take care of you throughout the meal. The meal was fabulous. The chef put together a great combination of plates. The appetizer was a soup or salad. Both were excellent and displayed unique touches to enhance the flavors, perfect vinaigrette on the salad. For the main course, I had the sirloin steak, summer vegetables and black beans. The steak was extra tender and a flavorful as a ribeye. The pureed beans acted as a sauce to the steak. The meal also included a bottle of wine. (a white or a red) The red was great with the entire meal. Not quite sure how the white would have stood up to the beef or cioppino. The warm chocolate cake was a fine finish to the meal. The fresh fruit added refreshing flavors, neither too bitter nor too sweet.
