The burrito and hot sauce was great.

They will also build to order. About anything you want.“

“I’ve eaten at almost all the Sanchez locations and I’ve been a loyal customer for the past 6 years and believe me when I say that this location is the best. The ingredients are always fresh and it’s prepared quick and you can’t get better food from a truck in bernalillo. I’ve been getting the asada quesadilla at least twice a week for the past two months. 10/10 highly recommend!“

“Delish food large portions“

“We eat here weekly. breakfast, lunch or dinner . Not too spicy but very good New Mexican food. Try the Plato Combinación del Rancho if you're hungry. Great coffee and green ice tea. Sonia, Andrea, Claudia and Yadi are our favorite servers“

“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.“

“Come to eat here quite often, usually pretty good. Last night ordered green chile stew which lacked green chile. Burrito Grande which was cold and asked for it to be warmed in microwave. The staff behind the counter and in kitchen looked at me as if I were speaking an unknown dialect!!! All I asked was for it to be warmed!! They tossed it in the trash, made me another one, which was also cold! I apologized for requesting it to be warmed, but their attitude was unreal.“
