50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Albuquerque

“Upon arriving we were greeted by Matthew the assistant manager. He took our order and made sure our food was fresh and prepared how we ordered it. He made sure we had enough condiments and we were satisfied. Thank you Matthew for the best fast food experience we have had in a long long time. We will definitely be back.“

“5 stars for service, price, portion and taste! Melissa, Chef Ricardo's sister was the cashier that took our order. She is super informative, kind and patient in answering all of my questions. I learned that they opened in December, only serve black beans, do not serve rice, that it is a family owned business from Cali, Columbia, that they do deliver and take call in and online orders! Parking was the only downside I found about this place but it certainly wasn't impactful enough to take away stars. My only suggestion is to play some classic Rumba or Salsa music to go with the Cali theme!In final, this is a must try! While it was not the California style burrito I initially anticipated, everything was AMAZING! The portions are HUGE, the prices are VERY reasonable, the restaurant was very clean with indoor and outdoor seating options and the service was great! I will be back soon!Parking: They offer free parking, several handicap spots included but can be tight during busy hours.“

“I’ve been coming to this location for a while and I’m upset at myself for not writing this review sooner. I’ve always been greeted promptly, the food is always fresh, and my online orders are always correct. I’ve seen different faces through the years , nevertheless they have all been great at their job and provide great customer service ! Great job to this location and keep up the great work! I will be back!“

“Went here cause it was listed as top 6 burger places in ABQ. The burger itself was good but it had way too much stuff on it. I think I tasted ham, bacon and some sausage links along with the burger. Super saucy but the fries were delicious.“

“1st timer. This place was recommended by family and they were right this place is phenomenal the staff was very helpful the Tortas and Tacos were very filling and very tasty my wife enjoy the fresh Horchata agua Fresca we definitely found a gem. very recommended place to enjoy a good lunch or dinner with family.“

“I eat at Blake’s every morning and have done so for several years. Blake’s #44 on Richmond NE is by far the best! Everything is cooked fresh and served hot, unlike some other locations. The staff are super nice and always courteous and professional.“

“We normally don't eat at Carl's Jr. Due to previous bad service, horrible food and dirty in dining and bathrooms. Today was a have to go to Carl's because it was closer to get us home on time. The chain on Central, Albuquerque was extremely clean, bathrooms included. Staff friendly and good food. Plus liked that they don't take cash, card payments only. It's posted everywhere plus our cashier also explained before we ordered. So to other Carl's Jr. Establishments go there and take notes.“

“These birria tacos are among the best I've had, would recommend them to everyone! The meat was juicy and flavorful, tortillas were crispy and tasty with the red grease, consomme was absolutely delicious you can tell they use the juice from the boil not just bullion like most places do and the salsa was spicy but flavorful too. Great food from great people!“

“I had to try their famous buttermilk fried chicken sandwich. For a fast food joint and $6.50 each, the sandwich with the green chile ranch is actually pretty tasty. I didn't think the chicken was rubbery. I would get it again. I tried the lunch burrito. (The breakfast burritos have hash browns.) For $8, it's a small-ish burrito. I would stick to their chicken sandwiches. I think the drive-thru is more popular here because there are only two small tables inside for seating. This isn't the spot to dine in unless you have a small party.“

“We hadn't been to Arby's in years. We enjoyed our meal which was really good. Nice & clean. Nice quiet atmosphere. The assistant took our order and before we knew it our food was ready. One of the girls was scrubbing all the tables even tho no one had used some of the tables.We got smiles from these girls.Vegetarian options: I can't tell if I didn't eat any of the aboveParking: We had no problem finding a parking place. We parked right in front of the entrance.“

“Was starving for lunch because I didn't bring some with me to work. Ordered on DoorDash and got just a salad with double meat and man it was loaded! They didn't skimp out on anything and I was pleasantly surprised to have received a cookie for free! Very satisfying ?“

“Shredded beef that melts in your mouth, with cheesy goodness and beans that make this burrito one of the best in town. Get the salsa that has an amazing kick but won't make you cry, but will make you say I love you to the burrito. Compliments to the chef and team. Thank you and many blessings. That was a heavenly meal ??“

“This location is by far one of the best!! Stopped by this evening and the manager on shift was amazing!! Great customer service, he ensured our order was fresh and promptly served. Thank you for making our experience worthwhile. We will definitely be back!!“

“Ordered the French dip with green chile and cheese added, so delicious! 12.95 includes a side and a cookie. Everything is homemade and you can taste quality. Bread is thin and not overwhelming the sandwich. Good amount of meat, green Chile has the perfect spice! The service was amazing, the woman at the register was very welcoming and yo eat, thank you, makes a huge difference at a small business.“

“They've been consistent for 8 months and counting, they are not afraid anymore and they are working hard to give us all a better experience.. I actually go here often and I keep getting cold fries every time, and 3 days ago I ordered a double meat Whataburger and got a single with again cold fries. So if you are not eating there or in your car you will get cold fries. Overall doing better“

“Absolutely love this place! They make the best Philly cheese steak sandwich in town! The Italian is another favorite of mine and made just right every time. The service is always awesome, staff are friendly, and the place is always clean. My new favorite sandwich place. I will be coming back a lot!Dietary restrictions: Always get the gluten free roll for my wife for medical reasons.“

“Busy for lunch but still fast and accurate!Vegetarian options: Salads available without meat.Dietary restrictions: Can make any item to meet dietary restrictionsKid-friendliness: Play Place openWheelchair accessibility: Ramp & Handicap spots upfront.“

“My goodness. What an amazing sandwich. It's a must to stop in here.Parking: Parking lot is kind of packed during lunch.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking is right out front of store and the door way is pretty wide for wheelchairs.“

“Food was great, as per usual. But can't you possibly get around to creating a new entrance/exit so we don't have to make such a hard right into your business? I myself, have an SUV. And everyone round these parts, the bigger, the better! Bye ya'll, hee, hee.“

“Made to order Pho ,bombs..why I say that? It's cause tastes very delicious, from, steak,chicken and tofu and your choice of noodles and broth its all good ? they also have spring rolls and Banh mi ,it's a Vietnamese sandwich all made to order from meat eaters to vegans, clean restaurant and great customer “

“Everything at this location was great.My problem with Firehouse Subs is their rewards program. After amassing a large amount of credit the app stopped working and multiple attempts to remedy the problem have failed.I happened to catch the District Manager at this location today. He agreed to check into the problem and text me back. Here is his reply, "Hi Robert. Here is what my corporate contact sent me:'.... unfortunately we don’t have a live person he can talk to. The app utilizes a chat bot as soon as you click the contact us option."'Firehouse Subs' rewards program is controlled by a third party entity. I think that if the folks controlling the rewards program can not be reached and I lose all my acquired credits I will exercise my right to take my business elsewhere.My Jersey Mike's app still works just fine. RF“

“Amazing burgers. I was driving around and stopped mainly because of the name. I ordered my meal right at closing, but they still served me. I'm grateful for that. I would prefer it if they made their hours much more visible instead of on a small piece of paper. That-a-ways a last-minute order doesn't happen as frequently.“

“So I’ll be honest I worked here for a single day. These people love food the owner puts love care and quality ingredients into his food. Great humans to the service members to the cooks family atmosphere positive vibes clean bathrooms. This back of house was so clean!! This place has it all! Out of state people this is a great example of what quality NM food. Super under the radar take advantage while you can. Why I don’t work here is because i squandered the opportunity don’t get the wrong idea. This place is top notch!Parking: Parking is plentiful and all around the complexKid-friendliness: Not loud environment very quaint and peaceful plants and tvs super positive environment“

“from the second that I walked in it was great service. I don’t usually write reviews but the service here was so great that I felt that I needed to. everyone here was so sweet. I was in and out. I ordered in for takeout and the lady who took my order was so kind. Everyone in the back was so kind. I was greeted hello and goodbye. The food was great. it’s nice to know some places still have good customer service these days.“

“It was busy as always through the drive-thru, but the wait wasn't too bad. The person taking the order was kinda rushing us, which didn't make me feel like ordering more. Not sure if its the same person who take the order and the person you give your payment to, but the 2nd lady was much nicer.“

“Food was awesome as normal. What was not normal however was the service. Normally the service is really good. Today not so much though sadly.waites for over 20 mins for 3 tortilla burgers no lettuce and a larger Frito pie no lettuce. The drive thru has one at the window and one at the speaker as I walked in. One person ordering ahead of me and 1 guy waiting for food. The one guy who was waiting for his food and ate it all before the guy I'm front of me got his order let alone me getting my order. I could see if they were busy but they weren't. They also had what seemed like 6-7 employees.“

“I live close by and was deterred by some of the negative reviews. I gave in tonight after a long day of holiday shopping. I entered and the place was hopping. Very busy. I seen a self-serve order kiosk so I placed my order. Pretty simple. I stood and waited not sure of how their system worked. I had 2 workers check on me and my order during the short wait. They followed through and got me my order fast. The wings were amazing! Better than the chains in town. Fries were ok. Wish they were better honestly. But, did I mention the wings? Lol! I will be back for those. I got the buffalo and as born n raised chile eating New Mexican, they had a good heat to them, with excellent flavor and crispiness. On a side note, the jerky is really good too.“

“I like Wienerschnitzel. It's always been a favorite of mine. The service at the Juan Tabo location was very good and the restaurant was clean. I only gave the food 4 stars bc the chili is watered down, and I didn't get as much on my chili dog and burger as b4 covid.As a result, I probably won't visit as often.“

“It tastes just like home. I grew up in Pt Pleasant, graduated from Point Pleasant Boro HS. Went to Mike's Subs all the time and when I come up here to Albuquerque it always tastes just like back then. It's the best sub you will ever eat! And the atmosphere is so friendly.“

“I grew up going to Der Wienerschnitzel when I was a little girl. The Wienerschnitzel. It is so wonderful that they are still around. This particular location is a very nice location and the customer service is great and the staff is friendly. I grew up eating and will always love their Kraut dogs. They're french fries are always wonderful. We tried the bratwurst for the first time and it was very good. I've always loved their mini corn dogs. We also tried the stuffed jalapenos. Everything was great and we were all pleased and will definitely be going back.“

“Lightning fast drive thru service, despite someone plowing into the dining room earlier in the day. They did not skip a beat! Professional staff, smiling happy serving piping hot food that we've come to expect from der weinerschnitzel. I got no service at Subway at Wyoming and Menaul so they took care of me with only 20 minutes left for lunch break. Carried me through a busy day. Thanks! I can count on you each time!“

“The place is ALWAYS super busy but the people who work there do a great job and work hard. The food is good too (I only really get custard and fries).Vegetarian options: They have a Veggie Burger that is okay. Otherwise it’s fries and onion ringsParking: The place is busy, so the parking lot is always fullKid-friendliness: Kids love it here!Wheelchair accessibility: It’s ADA compliant“

“Best service I've ever had at Subway! There was a bit of a backup due to the lunch rush, however Jay and his team were impressively speedy & every sandwich they pushed through was perfect! Thanks to the quickness of the team, I made it back to work on time and savored every 12 inches of my sandwich! Keep it up team!!“

“I'm not 100% certain, but the interactions I saw between the gentleman, I'm assuming, was the manager or manager on duty, and his subordinates were professional and kind. He never stopped moving, I saw him deliver food, make small talk with customers, and clean the dining room the entire time I was in store. The employees were attentive and chipper, all around it a very pleasant experience! Thanks!“

“I'm sorry to even put this into the universe, but frankly Arby's (The Bees) (Though not to be confused with The Bees as in Applebee's) has THE BEST Ruben Sandwich in the entire ABQ City Limits. I think that is both horrific and wonderful. I've tried Ruben Sandwiches at nearly every available sandwich shop and bar/pub/brewery where they are available - and despite being solid at Gecko's, and a couple other places, The Bees (Arby's) really does take the crown (Not Burger King's crown, a different crown). The Crown? Maybe I mean the Cake? Takes the Cake. Arby's (The Bees) Ruben Sandwich takes the Cake and eats it too! Thanks The Bees!!! (Arby's, not Applebee's)Oh, the best Ruben in town used to be from Neds on The Rio Grande. But that was probably 15 years ago when they closed. So you can't keep the crown (cake) if you've been closed and out of sight for even half (7.5 years is half of 15) as long.Love, Dad.Dietary restrictions: If you have a See Food Diet, you See Food and eat it.“

“Classic New Mexican burger. A simple local burger joint that does a great job. The classic Lota Burger New Mexico style with double patty, cheese and green chili is always amazing. I might have to drop that down to a single patty next time. I always go here whenever I visit Albuquerque.Highly recommended.“

“Nicest crew you could ask for. Great customer service and you really feel welcomed at this location. I think it was the manager I had the pleasure of speaking with he was wonderful and very kind. Oh, and of course the food was good and "my way"!“

“I wanted to comend two employees at the Gibson location in Albuquerque. They were both super friendly as you walked in the door, the female was super sweet when she handed me my food, and the other gentleman, an African-American man, ran to the aid of an elderly man that was having trouble walking. he then proceeded to assist him to his table. unfortunately, that type of kindness is not seen as much anymore. I commend him for his actions and empathy.“

“I generally don't review chain restos, but these guys make really, really good QSR burritos. And thank you very much for having Chicharrones available as an option. They're rather big, as well, and I can see some folks only being able to eat half of one and be satisfied, with a snack for later. We did the drive through, and it took a bit, but that just means my burrito was freshly made. Nice job, Stripes...“

“The wait wasn't very long, even though there was a long line. They rate up there with Chick-fil-A as far as getting folks through the drive-thru. The food was hot and tasted good. We got three different combos and two had the same crispyness and the third was lighter in color but still crispy. Getting in and out was not a big deal and easy to figure out.Kid-friendliness: The have a kids meal and was enough to satisfy my 6 year old.“

“Love all the goodies here. My first job was the location on Louisiana and Montgomery. Til this day I love the strawberry cheese quake with cherry dip. Also the chicken strip basket with Buffalo sauce and honey mustard mixed together. Bussin' bussin'Kid-friendliness: My son loves the banana split and my daughter aims for the vanilla cone.“

“Their menu offerings are very tasty. Always delivered hot and quickly. Service counter staff are so very friendly and patient as one decides a menu selection. Self serve soft drinks and ice tea is very satisfying. Observed a restaurant manager roaming the restaurant patrons checking for their satisfaction. Observed a staff member cleaning and sanitizing table tops and removing trash. An example of a well trained team. Restrooms were clean!“

“Perla & the rest of the team was amazing!! Super friendly & efficient customer service. The restrooms were also so clean! It was the perfect place to come have lunch with my family after picking the kids up from school! Will definitely be returning. Oh, y hablan español! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This new Stripes location is really well put together. The staff are all very friendly and my food has come out very fast both times I have been. I don’t think that Stripes has a great burrito compared to other choices in the city but it’s good and fairly priced. The eggs they use remind me of the ones in Taco Bell breakfast and the green chile is so-so. Overall, would recommend.“

“I have only ordered and picked up food at the drive-thru. Food is always excellent. Huge menu. Have only tried quesodillas, tacos, and enchiladas. All were excellent. I would like it better if I could order online. It is a little overwhelming to select food frome the huge menu while in the drive-thru line. Service was fairly quick and very friendly.“

“It was awesome the staff looked a little sketched out by me because I'm covering tattoos they treated me like a humanbeing they treated me with respect and kindness they allowed my service dog in there and the sandwich wasn't just phenomenal one of the best sub sandwiches I ever had and the presentation on how they made it with the phenomenal it looks like something you would see in a commercial“

“Listen, we all know Blake's burgers don't taste the way they used to. Iykyk... However THIS Blake's is the closest thing to that. Idk if it's the seasoning or the cooks but burgers at this Blake's tops ALL the other ones in the city. If you gave up on Blake's try this one out just one more time lol.“

“I was a first time customer of this chain tonight. Not only did every person we dealt with at the restaurant have awesome customer service, but the young man behind the counter even paid for the tacos for the gentleman in front of us who ended up being short cash. In a day where it is rare to find people who will take your order, versus a computer, it is such a pleasure to find people who not only are behind that counter but also treat everyone with so much respect and enjoy their job. Will be back!“

“I think the negative reviews are lies! I went to 2 different subways and one was completely out of toppings, and the other was closed for construction. Came to this location as a last resort and the staff was extremely welcoming, the place was clean and there was a full selection of meats and toppings. Staff was very friendly and made my sandwhich exactly how I wanted without any attitude. They asked how my day was going as well which I appreciated. Thank you, we will be back!!“

“First time coming over here was a bit busy for lunch hour but that’s OK. Service was good I didn’t really know what sandwich to get so I got what the cashier recommended and it wasn’t that great but enjoy the spiciness I have to go back to Jersey Mike’s.“
