Holy guacamole, this place slaps harder than my abuela's chancla! Y'all, I stumbled into On the Beach at Tin Can Alley like a tumbleweed with a GPS malfunction, and let me tell you - best wrong turn of my LIFE! So I'm thinking "eggplant burger" sounds like something my hippie cousin would order while doing yoga in the desert, but NOPE. This purple beauty showed up looking like it graduated summa cum laude from Burger University. The sweet potato tots? Forget about it! They were so crispy and perfect, I'm pretty sure they were blessed by the sweet potato gods themselves. I may have made some questionable moaning sounds that scared the family at the next table, but no regrets. And can we talk about the Oktoberfest from Santa Fe Brewery? This beer was smoother than my dance moves after three margaritas (which is saying something because I dance like a caffeinated penguin). It paired with that eggplant burger like peanut butter and jelly, or like me and bad life decisions. The service was so good I wanted to adopt the entire staff. They were attentive without being clingy, friendly without being weird, and they didn't judge me when I asked for extra napkins because I eat like a toddler at a birthday party. Bottom line: If you don't come here, you're doing your taste buds a disservice that should probably be illegal. I'm already planning my next visit and considering getting the eggplant burger tattooed on my forearm. Will definitely be back faster than you can say "green chile!" read more

Solid place to meet a friend for lunch, and a lot of people are doing just that. Lots of seating and it's clean and kept clean by constantly circulating employees. Lots of parking, too. Downside? There are a variety of restaurants there but there were only two that interested me toda - and one wasn't open yet. The one I tried (and had been long wanting to try) was a disappointment. There is another one there that I know is fine and at least a couple more that look vaguely promising. You'll find something to eat - but I can't guarantee it'll knock your socks off. read more

On a recent visit to Albuquerque area, we went to Tin Can Alley. Our family of 3 Chose three different food outlets.

I'm not gonna say a whole lot about this place, but it is a nice food court to visit if you're in the Albuquerque area. It is a shipping container style food Plaza that includes a brewery, American food, pizza, hot chicken, pho, sweets, and a couple of other things. Things that stood out: the food costs on average are definitely cheaper than Southern California (which is a great thing), all the vendors are local, and it's a nice low-key place to relax and eat after a long flight. Come here with your friends, grab a brew, and check it out read more

I consider myself a local as we frequent ABQ various times a month and Tin Can Alley never disappoints! The atmosphere alone is inviting and has a unique vibe. We've met friends here for drinks in the Santa Fe Brewing Tap Room. Tap room offers a variety of flavorful beer options. Today I opted for Pho Kup, which is always a favorite of mine and it was delicious! The consistency overall goodness keeps me coming back. Service was fast and I had a very pleasant lunch experience. I got to visit the Brotique 505 store which cultivates homegrown designers and artisans. They specialize in locally-produced products focusing on NM culture where you can find apparel, stickers, jewelry, hats, home goods, and fun accessories of all kinds. read more

While in Albuquerque, I found some food places inside this cool and quirky food court. The place is really cool and gives like an industrial, shipping container, artsy, graffiti vibe on the exterior! There is two levels and lots of outdoor seating up top. There are various food vendors but also some clothing and apparel vendors and I believe also a small arcade inside. I wasn't able to explore everything because it was crazy packed. I like how they had some unique seating around and the views from up top were amazing. I viewed the mountains during my whole visit. Definitely looking forward to coming back here when I'm back in Albuquerque! Loved the vibe! read more

Such a lovely food court! Parking was easy and ample. The space is lovely, clean, and bright. It looks a bit hipsterish, but in a very charming, clean industrial way. There aren't a ton of options, so it's possible that none of the food will speak to you, but I really enjoyed the chicken and the pizza. It can get a little loud inside, so thankfully the outside seating is quite wonderful and quiet. Definitely worth taking a look. read more

We've been here often. It's a fun and quirky food court. Each person can chose what they want from different food outlets yet we all can sit together. Lots of options! We loved the band at the brew pub one Fri eve. It's easy eats and fun times. read more

We went to go hear Curtis Kelly perform there. They had him outside upstairs which was a great spot to listen to him. Great atmosphere and they also had a bar outside so we didn't keep having to walk downstairs to get drinks. There was a big group with us and there was enough variety of food places that everyone was happy with their food. The only downside of this place is that you have to get your own food and drink so if you want to be waited on, this is not for you. Otherwise, we really enjoyed it! read more

I really came to check out the over-the-top multi-story shipping container architecture. It's fun. That this a food court with some interesting vendors makes it a reason to stick around for a while. Enjoy. read more

Another place for a meet up, Sante Fe Brewery here plus numerous food outlets. Your group can all eat different things, gather round and have a grand time. It's not as bougie as Sawmill Market but the Hot chicken place hit the spot for us. Service was good and the place was clean with a lady constantly on patrol after those that might not have cleaned up. read more

This is a cool place with a good variety of dining options and some other venues. The dining hall is multi level and not super packed in with a too high density of chairs, which is nice. We came in on a week night and it was pretty full. Some of the businesses were already closing around 8.30 which was earlier than posted. Im sure locals are aware but for out of townies be aware and come by 7.30. We tried a few of the food options and it was mostly good. The place has really cool vibes and is well worth a visit. read more

Good morning from central New Mexico. Come join Tom Neiman, Jim Tritten, and four other members of the VA Creative Writing Group as they visit Tin Can Alley, a food hall with beer, cocktails, coffee, burgers, pizza, tacos, pho, salads, cupcakes, and gift shop. We tried multiple vendors and thoroughly enjoyed the various businesses' food, atmosphere, and self-service nature. As a special treat, listen to Brendon Clark, who is visiting us from Sweden, as he regales us with stories about Moose. Or is the plural Meese? Nope, the plural is Moose.

If you're looking for variety and you're not sure what you're in the mood for, take a trip to Tin Can Alley (TCA) I have been many times. Twice for a company gathering. Santa Fe Brewing within TCA. Wanna a beer or a cocktail, Santa Fe Brewing has a great variety of options that won't disappoint. My team had Amore pizza, very tasty with fresh ingredients. If you want a cupcake or more, ice cream, barbecue, pizza, burgers, Pho + this is your go to place. Plenty of seating, great people watching and all the staff from the various restaurants are personable and great. The parking lot will soon be shared with a whataburger that has blocked an entrance/exit. read more

I like Tin Can Alley. It's a food court with plenty of parking spots and some selections of food vendors (and other local non-food shops) in the NE ABQ area. Not surprisingly, some of the vendors at Tin Can are the same ones as Green Jeans (since the property development firm is the same). The prices are ok. They aren't cheap but not too expensive either. I like that the space is clean, actually has good amount of parking space (vs Green Jeans where it is a bit hard to find a sport to park ) and my friend and I liked it quite a bit that even when we went on a Thursday evening, it wasn't crowded at all and you could still grab a seat down or upstairs if you like. Glad we checked it out and look forward to coming to this place again soon. read more

Made a quick stop in Albuquerque on our way to Las Cruces. This was a fun place with lots of food options. They did mention they were dog friendly so that was a plus for me and my pup.

Bonus! read more

Always a favorite place to eat, especially with my kids or a group of friends. This place is always bright and friendly with so many different seating options, inside and out, and so many delicious food and drink options. This time my kids chose waffles and chicken from Kukri and a burger from FlipFlops Beach Grub, while I had my favorite Arepa Pabellon from Guava Tree. All the food was delicious, though the service was a bit slow today. read more

Great place for a group or family, with a variety of stations from pizza to burritos and Burgers. The Nachos were huge and delicious, good selection of beer and local distilled spirits. Order at the station and your selection will be delivered to your table. read more

Brewery & several different cafes. There is a food or beer for everyone here, even ice creams. We walked around while our food from Amore Pizza was being cooked. Arcade, brewery, shopping, views, & great food what else do you need? Oh right great customer service & friendly staff! Never seen metal shipping containers used in such a unique way. You can eat at one cafe then try another on your next visit, until you have had them all. Great place for the individual or a large group. Come on in & have fun, you will not be disappointed read more

I've picked up food for other people at this place but I've never actually stayed and hung out out here. I was fortunate to be apart of the 505 25 years of flavor event along with my dad. It was really cool to see this place. It reminded me so much of Green Jeans but more indoors and it was really neat. I visited the arcade, patio, and Brotique shop it at the top. It was a remarkable experience. The restaurants all made their own versions of what they consider New Mexican food. Let me tell you there was a lot of delicious green and red chilis around. One of the restaurants used a 505 pineapple chili which as strange as it sounds was actually quite tasty! Anyways this is a real neat venue to check out and hang out. They've got plenty of food to satisfy just about everyone and have a bar at both the ground and patio floors. The place is very relaxing to hang out it. I'll definitely be back. read more

Tin Can Alley was amazing! I went to Pho Kup, and it was so good! I got chicken with egg noodles in veggie broth, and everything was so flavorful. The environment at Tin Can Alley was so cool and there are so many options that anyone will find something fantastic to eat. The food was prepared quickly, and it was delicious. You can get BBQ, pizza, or Latin food. The cuban sandwich and yuca fries at Guava Tree were absolutely incredible. I'd definitely go back for that alone! There are also great options for dessert like ice cream, sorbet, cupcakes, or an after dinner coffee. Do yourself a favor, and go to Tin Can Alley for a meal!! read more

Fun, open air vibe (though enclosed and temp controlled. Lots of food and drink choices. Everything we had was great!

We got the BBQ Fiesta Bowl from S-A BBQ. $14. And the Burqueno Burger from Flipflops. $10. Tin Can Alley is pretty awesome because there are multiple places where you can get food. So, they have something for everyone and even have sweets (like the cup cake place). The environment is great day (the have WiFi and you can work firm there) or night. It's interesting and different and it seems like a good place to meet people. All of the food we had were pretty good (4 stars) but the service and location are worth the extra star. read more

Love Santa Fe Brewing Company. They have a tastiest, coldest brews in town. Service is great at this and the Green Jeans locations. Also remember to check out the Santa Fe spot with a mini museum upstairs. All locations have great look and few and are comfy. Try the Sour Hour, which is a mix of Kombucha and Social Hour to stretch out your beers. This is especially smart on school nights! Ask about their great membership too! read more

Tin Can Alley - Sunny corner with lots of room and live plants!! - Food Court Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Went to Tin Can Alley for the first time last night. We had a great time! This place is basically a food court but with alcohol. Luckily we got a table right next to Santa Fe Brewery. You can order food right from your table by scanning the QR code if you prefer. I prefer walking around and checking out all of the options first. I ended up ordering the Borracho Nachos from SA BBQ. They were definitely tasty but I was expecting them to be $9.00 and my bill was $15.00. He asked me what kind of meat I wanted and I got brisket so I'm guessing that when you order meat on them you get charged more. The brisket was good but was very fatty so difficult to eat. The cheese was tasty but I didn't taste any red chili as mentioned in there red chili crema sauce. I ordered a beer from Santa Fe Brewery. I opted for the NMX Standard which was really tasty for a light beer. I will definitely be back when it is a bit warmer out this springtime. Cheers! read more

This is a close rival to Saw mill with a lot fewer options. We tried the Pho. I would recommend the smaller size unless you're planning to feed have of the city. Very flavorful broth. The nachos from the BBQ joint were fantastic. The people running the salad place need to go back to school and learn congeniality. They give cranky old people a bad name. The insane chicken sliders are INSANE. Not for the faint of heart. read more

Ambiance and Service were fine. The food was terrible and over-priced. We ordered from Amore at about 6pm, and got Pizza and a $12 salad; a $42 total bill without any drinks...two 11: pizzas and a salad for two people. The salad had artichokes in it, and that was the best part of the entire experience. I don't think I've ever had a worse pizza in my life (I'm 72) and I've eaten pizza at many places around the county and in Alb. I've heard of 'thin' crust pizza, but this was beyond outrageous. At first I though, wow this is like having a flour tortilla made into pizza, but as I ate it I realized this was closer to phyllo dough; literally 'paper' thin...about half the thickness of a typical flour tortilla. Basically, there was no bottom, just a crust and topping. I kept seeing other reviews on Yelp that said it was 'floppy.' Now I know what they were talking about. You couldn't cut it or pick it up, because it would literally fall apart. Even though the flavor would have been fine on an actual slice of pizza; this paper thin pizza was terrible. I will never go back. read more

Very well executed food hall! We found ourselves here after an internet search for where in ABQ to watch Arsenal FC games (English Premier League soccer). Luckily, the game we were in town for aired in NM time at 1pm so it was squarely in their open times. The main area for the soccer viewing is in the Santa Fe Brewing part of the space. But you can order food from any spot in the whole of TCA and bring it in to the brewery area. There was a nice variety of food options, though they aren't all open at the same times. I think about half were open while we were there (weekday, mid-day/early afternoon) but that was fine. I was happy to get a sandwich from the Guava Tree (Latino eatery), and a fancy cookie from the dessert bar. There is a generously sized parking lot, and a good variety of food options inside (again, depending on the time you are there). I would gladly come back on a future visit to ABQ, with or without a soccer game to take in! read more

This is the second time in a long time that we came to visit. The last time we were here was after the pandemic. And it was a pleasant experience. This time around, same deal. So glad it was too! Got to enjoy a Sunday morning, for brunch. We got here at a good time, right before the lunch rush. Although they have ample amounts of parking this place can get very busy during peak hours. Lunch and dinner, you can probably get a parking space but not a place to sit and enjoy your grub. The food hall has plenty of seats inside and outside. It was too hot to eat outside, thankfully we were able to get a table on the inside where there was a musician playing. Enjoyable, I just couldn't remember the artist's name. Tin Can Alley offers a wide variety of restaurants. A little of everything for those hard to please palates. Burgers, pizza, coffee, sandwiches, soups, bbq, smoothies, ice cream and so much more. Of course, they had Santa Fe Brewery there. It was really hard to choose which eatery to try this time around. My family and I decided to try Pho Kup, we ordered a chicken, a beef bahn mi and some shrimp spring rolls. From On the Flip, we ordered the Flip burger, one steak asada taco, one fish taco and for dessert the cheesecake sopapilla. Which was not too sweet, but we enjoyed it. For myself, I opted to try the iced lavender latte. Oh wow, I loved it. I'll get that again next time. Overall, my family and I had a great experience. Thank you! read more
