So came here for the first time with six friends. The location is the old boxing bear brewery where…read morewe used to go for live music. Nothing has changed really inside it's pretty much the same. That's a good thing in my view. So for ambience I give four stars. The inside is attractive with a lot of windows. Outside there's a nice patio which would be great to sit at if the wind is not too bad. For service, I give four stars. Service is on pretentious and just down to earth. I think some of the people that used to be there at boxing baee are still there. If you are a younger soul who likes to play arcade games there are several there. Again, they were there when boxing bear was there. So for me the reason I give four stars is because this is a wonderful place to just come and be with friends. There is no high pressure to purchase expensive entrees or drink excessively. That is what I love about this place. As far as the kitchen and food goes, it's pretty humble. I would call this authentic lowdown tacos and burritos and nachos which is equivalent to pub food. My disappointment with the menu is that there are no really interesting options such as enchiladas. I'm an enchilada girl I admit it.. so I did not actually get any food although all of my friends did. I also don't drink alcohol any longer so my favorite beverage which is an athletic IPA was available in a can and I was very happy for that. All in all, if you like humble easy inexpensive tacos burritos nachos pub food go for that. If you're looking for a place to hang out with some friends and have an easy conversation without too much overhead noise from music or TVs do that. This location is really good for groups who want to hang out. I would suggest to management that they consider putting some music meaning live bands on the schedule here and there. This location is also appropriate for music bingo, karaoke, and trivia along with live band performances. Or even just have solo guitar players come in. I love this place before I still love it. I'll be back.

However, they just celebrated their 2nd anniversary in the "new" building and it's just the coolest to see them thriving. They keep adding to the atmosphere and bringing in fun things to do. We love the vibe, we love the staff, and we love the drinks. Having a place with such a nice patio AND such a nice indoor space makes coming to the Sandia Bar a different experience every time you go. We've met some great people here, had some fun parties, and long date nights too! Corrales night life got a big upgrade when Sandia Bar re-opened.

Fuego 505, located on the NW side of The Burque, is a lively restaurant with plenty of TVs for…read morewatching sports. Parking can get quite scarce and cramped during busy dinner hours, on weekend nights, and when major sports events are happening, as the restaurant tends to fill up. Service was initially just okay. We waited about 5 minutes before anyone came to acknowledge our table. After that, servers poured multiple rounds waters and offered a few baskets of tortilla chips. From The Fire: Skewer options, accompanied by one or two sides, are available. Every skewer plate showcases wild exotic or rare game proteins you may not have had before: rabbit (they were out of this meat), snake, duck, bison, chicken and duck breast. Please expect a cook time of up to 45 minutes. ***It's listed on the menu and we absolutely waited that time for the snake, bison, duck sausage and duck breast*** The Fuego Burger topped with blue cheese crumbles, crispy bacon, caramelized onions, lettuce, tomato, and garlic aioli (on the side) was perfectly prepared.

Finally got the chance to try the Birria Tacos from Fuego 505- and they did not disappoint…read more Personally I've always thought nothing can top Los Pookies, but I feel these are in a different lane. Wildly different while still being so freaking amazing. There's a certain spice or something that they use in the Birria that hits just right. That's the only true way I can explain it. I can't tell if the 'consume' is chili or what from here? At Los Pookies it seems to be like a broth, but here is a thicker & spicier sauce which compliments the tacos so well. (please let me know!). It gets quite busy in here especially with it being setup as more of a sports bar, with the TV's and such. They have a shaded patio which I believe also may have a TV* (don't quote me on this part) . All the servers I have had have shown great hospitality. I will continue to return. -- Follow up before I post.. Last time I was here and it was really busy (like 30 min wait busy cuz of whatever game), I was feeling dizzy and they gave me water and a chair & made sure I was okay.. I feel especially this day and age is not something you see ever or expect. So thank you.

The drink menu is impressive, with a wide selection of creative cocktails, and the bartender was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations.

Had the jungle bird, which was properly bitter if you're into that. The marikoriko was sweet and fruity, way easy to drink. The Saturn was also wonderfully fruity and easy to drink. I didn't bother with the mai tai because they use kraken instead of an actual funky Caribbean rum, which is wild because they carry Meyers. Probably my biggest critique is to funkify that Mai Tai yo! Float of kraken if you must, but use some Caribbean rum in there! Service was great, atmosphere left room for improvement. Great for a casual few drinks with your meal. Solid spot! Would return again.

The atmosphere is exactly what you want from a speakeasy, dark, intimate, and full of character. Between the great food, service, and immersive vibe, this place nails it. Highly recommend for a unique night out!

The soup was tasty, and the sandwich was pretty good- a little too much turkey for my taste. My husband had the mushroom peppercorn steak. It was cooked well, and he enjoyed the peppercorn sauce. One person had the steak salad. She said it was good, not great. The salad was served with large leaves of lettuce (she had to cut them up) and steak. She mentioned that she wished there was a little more to the salad- it was just the lettuce and steak. The last person in our party had the green chile chicken pasta. She liked it. Overall, our experience was good. I would say Tula's is fair. It's nothing to write home about, but it wasn't bad.

They do have a very nice patio but I was eating inside in lieu of out in the 95 degree heat and flies.

(See pic) I ordered their wonderful Reuben w Caesar side and ate it with the fan shooing the flies while I ate inside. Seriously!! I did let her know the homemade croutons were stale and tough and not very edible. Service, food and drinks here are always very good and polite. I'll be back but not when the outside summer flies are taking over.

Food has always been great here. The Pacific Blue is my go-to sandwich, and my girlfriend and I…read morehave ordered from this location through DoorDash many times without any issues. Because of those experiences, this review is disappointing to write. Our recent dine-in experience was completely different. The employee who took our order came across as impatient from the start. Before I had finished ordering, he gave me the total after I mentioned my sandwich. I had to stop him to add two drinks, he sighed, asked how many, and immediately gave me another total. When I added a Goo Ball, he grabbed it, set it on the counter, rang up the new total, and again acted as though I was finished ordering before I had the chance to ask for anything else. We had actually planned to order more, but the interaction made us feel like we were inconveniencing him simply by ordering. I work in the restaurant industry myself, so I understand that everyone has bad days. Had that been the only issue, I wouldn't have taken the time to leave a review. The reason I'm writing this is what happened after we sat down. A woman who appeared to be the employee's girlfriend came into the restaurant, and his demeanor changed immediately. While he was still on the clock, she stood at the front counter by the register, and for much of the time we were there they were engaged in prolonged, intimate kissing and embracing. My girlfriend and I were seated in the booth closest to the register, only a few feet away, and she was facing them the entire time. It made her genuinely uncomfortable, and there was no way to avoid it while we were eating. At one point, a DoorDash driver came in to pick up an order. The employee briefly pointed toward the back of the restaurant, said, "Over there, man," without even looking at the driver, and then immediately went back to his girlfriend. That interaction made it clear he was still actively working while all of this was happening. To be clear, this isn't about an employee greeting their significant other. A quick hug or kiss wouldn't have bothered us. This was prolonged, intimate behavior at the front register while customers were dining, and it felt completely inappropriate for the workplace. I do want to recognize the rest of the staff because they deserve it. Everyone else was working, and the bartender was friendly, professional, and provided excellent customer service throughout our visit. We'll continue ordering DoorDash because the food has always been consistently good, but we won't be dining in at this location again. We'd rather drive the extra 20 minutes to the Menaul location where we've always had positive experiences. I'm not looking for compensation or anything in return. I simply hope management is made aware of what happened because one employee's conduct turned what should have been an enjoyable lunch into an uncomfortable experience.
