Burrito Restaurants near Bernalillo, NM

“Located in the middle of a small shopping center just off Highway 550, the Bernalillo Twisters Cafe may not impress with its ordinary fast-food joint aesthetics, but what it lacks in ambiance, it more than makes up for in its delightful New Mexican cuisine.

One of several Twisters locations dotting the Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, and Bernalillo area, this cafe is a short 10-minute walk from the Rail Runner station. Upon entering, you're greeted by a friendly and attentive cashier/server who often engages in banter with the local townspeople, calling them by name. This camaraderie is a testament to the establishment's popularity among the locals.

My recommendation? Try the carne adovada burrito smothered in red chile sauce. The generous portion, almost a foot in length, is a flavorful masterpiece that will leave you in awe. Each bite is a burst of authentic Northern New Mexico flavors, making you realize that this is how real New Mexican food should taste. While the chile is classified as mild, it packs a punch for those unaccustomed to the spicy heat of New Mexico cuisine.

Although all Twisters cafes uphold the same quality of food, the Bernalillo location holds a special place in many hearts due to its cozy, community ambiance. The counter person's genuine concern for my dining experience, asking if everything was alright, was met with a wide grin and an honest assurance that the food was truly fantastic.“

“This morning was my first time...pleased with the food - barbacoa street tacos and sausage breakfast burrito. My husband said the burrito was best ever! Logistics are another matter...I couldn't figure out the on-line ordering. So I called to ask a question - rang 19(!) times and the quality of the call was terrible - broken up and background noise. I called back and was answered at 3 rings. Quality of the call was much better and I ended up ordering by phone. Traffic is AWFUL. There were at least 12 cars in the drive thru..backed up onto eastbound Southern Blvd. I couldn't even pass the cars in line to continue down 26th (which dead-ends). I finally passed the line, went down 26th and turned around, parked and walked across to the walk-up window. Service was quick and friendly. Getting out of 26th again is a hassle - a lot, lot of cars going East on Southern so drivers going West waited forever - I finally was able to turn East on Southern and turned around to go West. PLEASE please figure out a better process! The food is good; it's a hassle to get to it!“

“Great and friendly service , food out quickly and very good Burritos and chili cheeses fries 👍🏻“

“I feel that Twisters is at times underrated. While they may be known for their Twister burritos, they have a delicious new Scorpion Chicken Sandwich I got last time. This time I got their Shredded Beef Burrito with red chile, and it did not disappoint. I also love their hot and fresh curly fries, as they do not have the seasoning that is found in others, just salt. They also serve breakfast all day long.“

“It's the food you're used to, which is good. It seems nowadays most of the Twister restaurants are empty and depressing. This address, in particular, has a weird sewage smell, it always has so I always get it to-go from here. Not sure if the smell is from the area or their drains.“
