“Just simply the best. A coffee roaster that clearly takes pride in their craft, baristas with the skills and kindness, hand crafted wall to wall, tasty baked goods fresh daily and an all around peaceful and cozy environment. Gotta figure out a way to pay for everything life throws at me by hanging out at Candlestick/The Farmstand, that would be my happy place fuh evuh ?Parking: It’s Corrales, done werry ‘bout iiiiit”
“Today is our 43rd wedding anniversary. After a busy morning of errands, our date at Pereas for lunch took a turn and we ended up enjoying a lovely lunch from the food truck at Exnovo. I had the grilled peppers and mushroom melt. And Greg gives a thumbs up for burger.”
“Stellar experience. Staff was wonderful, we were even introduced to the brewer who gave us a lovely tour! He then introduced us to the owners who were so sweet. My first time here and so bummed we are from out of town. Highly recommend this place!! Great beers!!”
“WONDERFUL winery! I couldn’t choose between the classic and library tasting so did both — highly recommend! Absolutely beautiful estate wines: dry riesling, French-style chardonnays, pinot noirs, zinfandel, merlot, semillon, a delightful rosé, all with unique NM characteristics that distinguish them pleasantly from other major domestic wine-producing states like California, Oregon and Washington. And service was so helpful, informative and charming in a gorgeous setting overlooking leafy grapevines and the Sandias. I could have spent all day here!”
“Dropped in for Saint Paddy's Day brunch! The menu was varied, but we went for the corned beef hash. We added bacon and roasted potatoes, which were not required bc the servings were plentiful! The finish was key lime pie and Bailey's cheesecake. Both were wonderful!Service was on point, even though the restaurant was working at capacity.Coffee was luke warm, both the initial cup and the refill. I asked for a fresh cup for dessert and it was piping hot!We will be coming back again!”
“The Albuquerque area has a slew of great breweries, and every time I come to town, I make a concerted effort to visit as many as possible. My ABQ Brewery Map has more than three dozen pins on it, and I have finally been to almost all of them.And…finally…I made it to Ex Novo in Corrales. It’s not that I wasn’t already familiar with their beers, because they have distro in the Amarillo area. But just like with Guinness in Ireland, the beer always tastes better at the brewery. So off I went along a narrow, winding road to find the source of this good cheer.I’m just glad they do small pours separate from the flights of four, because there were six I wanted to have.On my flight I went with my fave Mass Ascension (West Coast IPA; 6.9% ABV), Misnakes Were Made ((West Coast IPA; 7% ABV), Sadnia Slice (Hazy IPA; 7.1% ABV), and Crueltor (Hazy IPA; 6.5% ABV). This was an amazing quartet of hoppiness, and I could find no faults. I followed suit with Short pours of Extra Time (Amber Ale; 5.3% ABV) and Liquid Sweater (Winter Ale; 7%ABV). Back here in Texas I have also had Perle Haggard (German Pilsner; 5.1% ABV). Once again, all stellar performers, which with the others noted above give me no uncertainties in declaring ex Love to be in my Top 5 for ABQ.Ex Novo is renovating the old Firestone dealer in downtown ABQ for a taproom, which should open later in Spring 2024. That will be convenient if only because Corrales is a bit of a hike from town. Either way, though, the beer flowing from their taps is inspired and inspiring. Even though I can buy it in Amarillo, I want to return to the brewery if only for the experience of being there so close to its source.”
“To go meal tonight Wings....good....properly cooked, nice and meaty Dust Devil For Fire Eaters Only! Pepperoni Pizza Heavily Sprinkled with Local Red Chile Powder.....i enjoyed it, love my red chile....not all that hot really, just lots of flavor”
“I’ve been going here for years and years. It’s my favorite tap room in the entire city. I just found out that the owner decided to close it down! TERRIBLE decision. Awful. I’ve been to the taproom on Jefferson…. It’s not even comparable. It’s plain and lacks any character. Why would ownership do this? So many regulars who visit this place, amazing staff, excellent beer, good music. And you shut it down? Unfortunately, this may be the end of my visits to boxing bear. How sad.”
“Favorite little neighborhood bar and gathering place. The owner, John, is a gem, as is all of his staff. We are always greeted with kindness, wonderful service, and appreciation. The chicken enchilada casserole is my all time favorite.”
“Excellent food. I had the Spinach and mushroom omelet! Very tasty! It came with fresh fruit and toast. Also had coffee which was very good as well. The server was very attentive and there was not a long wait. I will be going again.”
“Phenomenal! Cute decor with excellent ambiance. Really nice patio. My husband had the white wine flight and I had the red, really excellent wines. We shared the apple walnut salad which was delicious. I had the filet mignon, and it was honestly the best steak I've had in Albuquerque. He had the ribeye with a lobster tail and was also very happy. To finish we shared the lava cake which was decadent. Overall, extremely happy with our experience and the price was totally reasonable, 10/10 recommend and we will be back!!”
“The premier spot for delicious Mexican food in ABQ! Quick turn off I-40 and you're there. Great drinks, fantastic food, and the best service! Hector and team know how to provide an amazing dining experience”
“Ordered a vegan burrito on their excellent website. Was able to read a description of the food and see a photo, then could customize my order and choose a pickup time. The food was hot and ready when I arrived and it was DELICIOUS!! I’ll be back for more, definitely!”
“This place was absolutely amazing!!! When I first walked in it smelled great. The staff was SUPER friendly and the food was OH MY GOSH! Jesus put his Sandals in my food y'all! It was the best! Something you would definitely crave! I purchased the Spicy Sando with chipotle mayo and sweet potato fries with the fry sauce! You cannot go wrong with any of it! ❤️”
“Seasons 52 is a top-notch restaurant in the Albuquerque metro. The surf and turf is excellent, and believe or not, so is the pork chop. The service is really good and and so was the atmosphere, they were busy and they didn't rush us. I recommend Seasons 52 for any outing.”
“Went here for a breakfast meeting. Excellent atmosphere and beautiful grounds around the restaurant. Breakfasts ordered included the chilaquiles and the chorizo breakfast tacos. Espresso shot pulled very well, with a very bright profile. Hunter was a very attentive and friendly server. She made excellent recommendations to my coworker.Dietary restrictions: A colleague of mine was able to replace nearly anything with a gluten free option except the pancakes.”
“I like I Scream Ice Cream! It's a retro ice cream shop that offers huge selection of ice cream flavors (and toppings). The environment also takes you back in time to see all the fun paraphernalia back in the past. While the ice cream isn't homemade, I think this shop offers a good opportunity to just come and relax and enjoy your time with some cool desserts. You can get to try many flavors in a single order (get upto 3 flavors and a free topping in a cup!) The staff was polite and let me take my sweet time to decide on what I wanted. The serving portion was generous as well. This place was popular! I came in around 7pm and there were 10+ people coming in and out! Very nice and relaxing and just a cool environment to enjoy desserts! I would love to stop by again and love that we have this unique ice cream shop here in this university area!”
“Let me just say how much I LOVE the Carne Asada Tacos ? here at Dogos V.I.P. .... ? ♥ The meat ? is fresh & quality stuff.

“The white borscht is one of the best tasting things you could eat in the entire town of Albuquerque. Do yourself a favor and stop by for a bowl because it's amazing!”

“This is a cool concept! Games, food, beer, coffee and store. We need more places like this where you can go for a fun date night, take your kids out to have some board game fun or hangout with friends. The food is delicious! Not pictured were the cauliflower pizza and a their regular pizza. They have a great variety of pizza toppings and if you're gluten free, the cauliflower pizza crust is really tasty and crispy. The dice rolls were super good; they were delightful cheesy pillows. Last but certainly not least were the churro doughnuts...they were one of the best doughnuts I've ever had!”
“This is my family’s first time eating at a Wingstop. The chicken was tender and juicy, but the outside of the skin was still crispy without being hard. The sauces were delicious. And instead of fried, they have this they have this Cajun fried corn bites so good!!!! I want to give a shout out to Audra and MyKyle!!! Thanks for an excellent first time experience”

“Lovely afternoon, Karen and Bobbie were very knowledgeable about the wines, very proud of the quality and love that goes into the wine process. The reds are excellent and my sister bought a case of the Crimson for the holidays. The Sandhill cranes were a bonus.”
