Elizabeth and Elena were both incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of my questions. They took the time to explain the different seafood options and made me feel confident in my purchase. It's clear they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in what they do. I'll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this market to anyone looking for great seafood and exceptional service!

This is a lovely little market offering mostly Eastern European goods, with a heavy focus on Polish…read moreand German foods. While the majority of what is offered are imported packaged spices, beverages and canned goods, the star of the show, for me at least, was the deli section of meats and cheeses! As a German I can't pass up certain meats like Gelbwurst or my favorite, Leberkaese! knowing there's a market that offers my favorites helps me with being homesick for these treats! Eurozone also offers day old Broetchen from a different store which is nice as well. The atmosphere here is relaxed and while there are quite a few options, it doesn't feel overwhelming at all! I thoroughly enjoyed browsing the various shelves for all the different options provided. I'll definitely be back soon!

The stores are spotless and well-organized and they always have some samples to try. Their prickly pear blend makes the iced tea I crave - I'm addicted.

Really cute boutique tea shop that just opened 2 weeks ago according to the employee. There were a…read morelot of options for tea, more than I could ever possibly try in a lifetime haha. They were giving some free samples and I had the pleasure of tasting the banana bread coffee tea, and it was so good so I purchased one. I loved how it was smooth, flavorful and has a subtle banana note to it. They only added a tiny bit of cane sugar to a whole pitcher and honestly that's all it needed. The service was friendly and I formative, and I loved how cute the shop was. I look forward to my next tea purchase here!

I went in hoping for a wide and dizzying array of spicy products, but was instantly confused, as I…read morewas greeted with many, many glass figurines and touristy bric-a-brac. I eventually found the hot sauce section, which, incidentally, is incredibly well organized, including the cool display for the Ass Kickin' stuff (prices on the hot sauces are outstanding and there are several I have seen here and nowhere else), but I wish the rest of the store was organized similarly. The entire thing screams clutter and spicy products (I think, I tried really hard to find them all, but maybe (probably) missed some) are maybe 20% of the floor space. The rest is coffee and mugs and t-shirts and pinon stuff and just random...shit. Back to my confusion...I don't understand why this place is called Chile ADdict when so little of the inventory is related to piquancy. I guess calling it a gift shop would be less interesting, maybe? Anyway, if you have a lot of time and patience to spend carefully hunting and foraging around this (sometimes precariously and hapazardly) scattered array, it can definitely be rewarding, but it won't be fast.

Third time was definitely the charm! The past two times the pizza was over done but i knew they had…read morethe potential to have great pizza and i was right. My partner and i stopped in for the $25 large pizza and pitcher of beer special. The pizza was exactly how i like it thin, not crunchy and perfect in my book. I also got a side salad with Greek dressing. The dressing was good with chunks of cheese. The free bread that we got served as we sat down was fresh with a bite of hot pepper. On the way out we grabbed a bag of 3 pastries for $2.50 and the apple danish was on point. Service was also attentive in a relaxed atmosphere.

I had high hopes for this place... My first time here... Bakery is busy so that may be good. I…read moredidn't try that out but the café... Ambience... Local walking in order tables and chairs comfortable absolutely fine for what it is. Food... I had their special bratwurst hoagie... Small sausage big roll light on the peppers and onions. Not bad but I would certainly not come back for it. French fries were freshly cooked and crispy... Yum. Service... One woman working in the front... Justin from another job with the other jobs T-shirt on... Didn't seem to know much about what was going on. Another woman who was serving food that where the orders were took seem to know the score there in terms of the menu. But she wasn't family. She didn't ask if I needed anything else when she brought my food and never came back. I got a sandwich with yellow mustard on which I absolutely do not like ever, but ate it given the circumstances and wasn't feeling like I wanted to wait for them to redo it and the environment with the lack of service. I must say too like so many places you pay they turn around for you to sign and then it asked for a tip and I absolutely refuse to tip before I get service. Or if the service is just taking an order or buying something. It's crazy. Anyway, between the food and the service, I would definitely not come back to the café. If I live closer, I'd probably come check out the bakery. That was pretty busy while I was sitting there.

Back in late November 2025, I was in Albuquerque, NM, fulfilling my loved ones' Christmas shopping…read morelist wishes. Before leaving town, I headed to the Eastside for Chocolate Cartel. The name certainly intrigued me, but their slogan did too: no fluff . no flair . the best cacao . I was in! While I didn't experience any "fluff," I thought that their chocolates actually did have some flair. They do have items for those bougie friends. Lol. I ordered a sample 6-pack truffle box ($19) that my daughters and I split together: Bee Pollen, Lavender Vanilla, Flowers of Italy, Green Chile & Salt, Pistachio in White, and Peppermint. I really should have gotten a bigger box after seeing how excited my girls were about this. Next time... I also enjoyed a discounted (due to it being broken) green chile and salt chocolate bar. They outsource other niceties: air fresheners, candles, and gelato. I wish I had stomach space for the gelato, but next time! Very nice, helpful service on the 26th. Overall, it is chocolate done maybe a bit simple yet exceedingly well.

Talin has been a staple for Asian groceries in Albuquerque for quite some time now…read more I like to for specific filipino style noodles for pancit or korean brand ramen noodles. You can always count on big selection and they are typically well stocked. Sometimes I like to walk down some of the other aisles (they are organized by county/region) just to see what their foods look like. Another favorite of mine here is browsing the produce section because it is the only place I come to for Chinese eggplant. The housewares (plates/pots/pans etc.) always have nice selection of cool things. Perfect for gifting or just picking up something new for your own kitchen. My only gripe with them is they close at 6 pm. Sometimes it's a little hard to get to after work.

We have been passing by Taaj Place for a while and we finally stopped to try their lunch buffet…read more The place is big and nicely decorated. The host and servers were very attentive, a bit on the shy side but very nice. The options for lunch included multiple vegetarian and non vegetarian options, with all the naan you could wish for! I had some butter chicken, tandoori chicken, goat, a stuffed pastry, breaded vegetables, and rice, with mango creme custard for desert. My favorite was the butter chicken because it was smooth and tasty. The tandoori chicken had good flavor but was a bit dry. The goat was too oily for my taste but was tender, with good flavor. The stuffed pastry was interesting; I think the stuffing was filled with minced tandoori chicken and pickled carrots. The mango custard was liquid but the flavor was a glorious ending to the meal. Overall, this was a decent experience with multiple options. Even though the non-vegetarian dishes were a bit oily, they had good flavor. I'm still interested in à la carte menu for another time.

The food has mainly classic Korean dishes nothing more like no Korean bbq on a table grill it could have lower prices possibly a $12- $16 range where they could do it buffett or cafeteria style since not servers for7 - 9 tables , then they could earn more when customers buy at the grocery store side of the restaurant, a Korean customer said this is the largest k grocery in NM but it's more like a convenience store with unique frozen foods.
