The space is good. Great for meeting up with friends. Plenty of parking for the space that it is, plenty of seating options either indoors downstairs or upstairs outside. Good variety of food options and some shops. Bathroom available upstairs and downstairs.

Wanna people watch and not be watched head upstairs. Elevator for those less mobile.

This review is for the location not the individual restaurants. The vibe is great, lovely place to meet up for lunch or a quick catch up. Wonderful insta worthy murals. Fun vibe and reasonable prices. Longer lines for the Miami style food place and the pizza (didn't try those) Went with the Vietnamese and was lacking on flavor on the Banh me but the rest was on point.

Eggplant Burger
Enrique S.

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!"

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.

Veggies pizza from Amore Neapolitan Pizza

On a recent visit to Albuquerque area, we went to Tin Can Alley. Our family of 3 Chose three different food outlets. My wife had a sandwich from Guava Tree, my son had a chicken sandwich from Kūkri and I had a Veggies Pizza from Amore Neapolitan Pizza. We all enjoyed our three dishes. We will be back!

The service was really great. Good people working there for sure. I had the fish and chips - got the spicy version- Came out hot with fries and a little dish of coleslaw - wish it would have been bigger- everything was tasty and filling

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

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!

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.

Fun vibrant food hall full of energy and many choices for food!! If you prefer quiet this is not the place for you. It is full of joy and energy just a general great vibe!!

Ask the Community - Tin Can Alley

Is the dining area cooled with AC? Or is it too hot to be with dogs during summer?

I just picked up food here when the temp outside was close to 100. I would say you and your furry friends will be just fine! The space is very open and cooled, but it’s not extremely cold. There are mist sprayers on the deck and a separate water… 

Is the patio dog friendly?

No. Service animals only.

Is there wifi?

Yes there is! Free wi-fi throughout Tin Can Alley.

Sawmill Market - 3 tacos at Flora

Sawmill Market

Sawmill Market is a fantastic, vibrant culinary destination that offers an incredible variety of…read moreethnic cuisines in Albuquerque's historic Sawmill District just north of Old Town. Located in what was once a working lumber yard dating back to the turn of the 20th century, the striking industrial-yet-modern design brilliantly pays homage to the property's rich history with high ceilings, open structures, and authentic architectural touches. Inside, you'll find choices from more than 25 local vendors -- Vietnamese, Japanese/sushi, Thai, New Mexican, Mediterranean, artisan burgers, salads, sandwiches, fish & chips, local craft beers, wines, and specialty cocktails. There is truly something for every preference and the options can accommodate almost any dietary restriction imaginable. The layout features plenty of comfortable indoor seating, plus a fantastic outdoor space (called "The Yard") that offers extra seating, a lawn area, and a stage for live events. Finding a parking spot in the two off-street lots adjacent to the building can be difficult during peak hours, but with a little patience, you can usually find a spot in one of the lots or on the street.

During our trip to Albuquerque for the Kehlani concert, we stumbled upon Sawmill Market, and let me…read moretell you, this was one of the highlights of our food adventures! We found the food hall and honestly didn't know what to expect. However, we were so pleasantly surprised that we ended up coming back TWO days in a row. The concept itself is wonderful. You have so many different food options to select from, which is perfect when you're traveling with people who all want something different. We decided that rather than commit to one place, we would try a little something from several of the restaurants. One thing I want to acknowledge is the pricing. Coming from Colorado, we were pleasantly surprised by how reasonably priced many of the options were, especially considering the quality of the food. I will note that seating was a bit of a challenge on our first night. We believe this may have been due to homecoming, the upper floor being reserved for a private event, and the rainy, cold weather making the outdoor seating less desirable. There were plenty of people enjoying the market, but not nearly enough seating available for everyone at that moment. Now, onto the food! We tried several different restaurants throughout our visits, including Hiro Sushi, Outlaw Chicken, Tulipani, and Flora Taco To Go. Hiro Sushi had an AMAZING spicy tuna roll, and if you've followed my reviews, you know how long we've been searching for one that delivers the perfect flavor. We actually ordered it twice! Outlaw Chicken was another delicious experience. The chicken was flavorful, and the fries and broccolini were cooked to perfection. Tulipani absolutely won us over with their Creamy Lemon pasta. It was so delicious that we ordered it twice and even took some home with us. We also explored Flora Taco To Go, where the carnitas tacos were easily the highlight of what we ordered. Overall, I love the concept of Sawmill Market. It gives you the opportunity to explore several different cuisines, enjoy a little bit of everything, and find some truly delicious food. Despite the seating challenges on our first night, we enjoyed ourselves so much that returning was an easy decision. This is absolutely somewhere I would recommend visiting when you're in Albuquerque!

The place was nearly empty, which made it easy for everyone to quickly get what they wanted to eat, and we found a table that accommodated our large group.

One of the food vendors pointed me to the bar, but no one was working, so I ended up going without water. I'd recommend adding some water fill stations throughout the space so guests can stay hydrated without having to hunt down a glass of water.

First off, we ordered the vegetable egg rolls for an appetizer, I do not recommend them since they are frozen ones. They were tasteless while the interior of these rolls were mushy, though the duck sauce was quite tasty it could not overcome these appetizers. Our entrees came next, my husband asked about the serving size and he was told a plate only fed one person, not true. The plate serves two. Anyway, the Kung Pao Chicken has really good flavor, was spicy and served with a side of steamed white rice. My husband's entree was Orange Chicken and nothing spectacular about it. But what will keep us from ever going back was that as we sat in the restaurant eating I started to smell cigarette smoke. It became more pronounced and I realized they were smoking in the kitchen and had the door open to where we were sitting. With that revelation my husband quickly got us out of there...the cigarette smoking inside the kitchen is a total dealbreaker.

It sort of felt like I was a child again and in the candy shop from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Over the last year, I have visited Albuquerque twice, and during those two trips, I went to the Sawmill Market three times. While I had different dishes for dinner on each of the visits, I certainly stopped by the Sweets Soda Fountain all three times. They have sodas and float where you can choose a flavor and then choose to "glow up" the soda or float by adding whipped cream, sprinkles, or cotton candy. They have 8 Sweets Originals including my favorite "The Orange Dream" made of orange juice, vanilla ice cream, orange sherbet, and soda water. They have "pour overs" which contain alcohol. They also have bubbles, and you can make any drink "boozy" by adding Prosecco and cordials. They also have a "Flight of the Unicorns" with three tastes of Prosecco topped with house-made cotton candy, which you can add macarons or bonbons if you want. I had "The Orange Dream" on two of the visits. It was tasty and reminded me of an orange dreamsicle or "creamsicle" popsicle. In addition to the drinks, they also have macarons, bonbons, gummies, cotton candy, and other kinds of pre-packed candies. I also met three different employees over the several months, who each gave me individual attention (especially as no one else was in line). One had me try a complimentary bonbon since she didn't know the difference in flavors. All answered my many questions and made recommendations of what to try. I was pleased with the service of the employees at Sweets Soda Fountain. They also took the Sawmill Market gift card. You can see the Sweets Soda Fountain menu by going to https://www.sawmillmarket.com/menus and clicking on Sweets Soda Fountain. They are open daily from 11 AM to 9 PM. While I didn't actually realize there were boozy beverages until after I left, I can see how this place would be popular with kids and adults alike. What a delightful experience visiting! I look forward to going back again on a future Albuquerque trip.
