Our meal was supposed to come with a roll , but we had to ask for it after we finished eating. Service was about a 2.5/5.

We had to flag someone down to order, ask someone else for forks, and grab napkins from another table. No one checked on us, and my drink stayed empty. There seemed to be plenty of employees, but not much servicing. We literally watched two people sweep the same area while we had no food and no silverware. Good chicken, but the service definitely needs improvement.

But we should have ordered the fish and chips! We had thought about it and decided not to. The table next to us got it and it looked delicious. They told us they always get it when they go there. Oh well. We still really enjoyed what we got. The service was friendly, the portions were large (we couldn't finish our food), and according to my husband, they have a great beer list!

We went with the mild sandwiches because you never know. They truly were mild and, for my taste, were about the spice level as a normal chick-fil-a sandwich. When we go back will def bump up the spice level, it's always nice to have a baseline. If you are scared of this place cause of the 'hot' chicken and you can't do spicy just get a mild it's not hot at all. Sandwich was great, chicken was tender, tasty, and sadly (this might be a me thing) not enough pickles. I will order extra pickles next time. You order at the counter and the seating is kind of sparse but food comes out quickly enough and people don't seem to linger long. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.

I feel like if the owner was there managing the production, it would have been much better. I liked the fries the most, but, they also tasted sweet. I got the Nashville fries, not the sweet potato fries. With that being said, I did get 1 sweet potato fry in the bunch. My fries tastes somewhat sweet, which I didn't mind, but also figured they were tossed with the sweet potatoes. Maybe the oil wasn't changed? Not sure. I also ordered the spicy chicken sandwich. It has potential. The chicken was old. You could tell it was old and not fresh like they advertise on their website. The taste was good, the chicken was old. The bun should also be toasted. It wasn't. Bun right out of the bag from your local grocer. Lastly the mac and cheese. I personally thought it was watered down, but my wife enjoyed the mac and cheese. I would have liked a thicker sauce. Overall: Would only come back after trying several competitors that make a more enjoyable meal. This place has potential but I'm not willing to spend my hard earned money on something that "could be" better. Good luck.

Waitress immediately came over and took our drink orders and was super friendly. We started with the Chorizo Rellenos which were absolutely amazing. I don't think I've had a better appetizer than this before honestly. The downfall was the entrees unfortunately. I'll start with hubby's dish which was the Shrimp Scampi. He took one bite and looked so discouraged so he asked me to taste it. All I could taste on that first bite was an overwhelming amount of Garlic. We love garlic but this was either burnt or saturated... It was bloody awful and inedible. My green chile chicken was no better but after insisting to hubby to ask for another dish I just kept eating mine while he waited for a hamburger. My dish had no flavor at all. I added salt after salt after salt and nothing could revive this dish. After all that salt my feet literally swelled up on the drive home but that's another issue. My poor hubby waited and waited while I ate and his burger never came. After 20 minutes he got mad and decided to pay - while paying his burger finally came out but he was too upset to eat so we just paid and left. Unfortunately I was not able to get a better experience on this visit

It is making my mouth water just talking about it. Ha! Wish I had some of those wings again.

When we got to Green Jeans, we were disappointed of the run down of a place. It was already getting dark, and the parking lot was sketchy. The food hall area too dark, dirty tables and greasy floors and restrooms without paper towels and soap in the ladies restroom, commented by my wife. When we got there, we found out that Amore no longer exists there. My son ordered the Kukri Loaded Fries and their chicken California Burrito to share with his mother. The following day, Monday 17th, both of them were sick, more likely from the chicken burrito. On Tuesday, it as my son's 28th birthday, and my wife and I came up from Las Cruces to spend the day with him. Unfortunately due to the food poisoning, both were suffering from diarrhea, headache and upset stomach, spending the day on bed. Commenting to one of our son's neighbor, about the horrible experience in Kukri, she told us that her two sons avoid that place. She said that they already know that Kukri is terrible and people get sick, as they have gone to their other locations in Albuquerque and at The Block in Rio Rancho.

The fries were cooked to perfection, which is always something I appreciate because I love a good fry. The broccolini was also prepared beautifully and made for an excellent addition to the meal.

I will say that 2 sliders was sufficient for all 5'6" of me, but perhaps if you're a bigger person you might want to take advantage of the fries and drink add-on option for like $4 more (the 2 sliders alone were like $12). The sauce reminded me of Raising Canes' sauce, but not zesty like Raising Cane's-- which might be a good (or bad) thing depending on your taste preferences. The chicken slider wasn't bad, just not crave-worthy in my opinion. For one, I think it needed more slaw and sauce. I asked for a side of sauce and still felt like I wanted more moisture in the slider overall. Perhaps adding cheese would have made it taste better... (though for me personally I wish the sandwich would have had some mayo to moisten the bread a bit more). The man taking orders seemed friendly and personable, which I did appreciate, I just was expecting something more from the sliders. The others with me tried different things in the 505; the general consensus was that nothing was all that great except for the smash burgers from another vender (but I did not try them so I cannot definitively say if the smash burgers were actually better or not). KuKri is tucked in the middle of the 505 and didn't have any sight lines from the tables, plus being in the 505 it's kinda hard to rate the ambiance because there wasn't really anything specific to this restaurant.
