“We ate here for the first time. The chicken marsala is really good.”
“Legit pho. Very welcoming and helpful. Beautiful fish tank. All the best pho places have one 😎”
“I can’t count how many of your barbacoa fries I have ordered, they are my favorite comfort food. ♥️ Tap n Tacos worst day is most restaurants best day. Thank you for this delicious food. It’s all delicious! ♥️♥️♥️ ALSO, your employees are always polite and helpful. Oh and your red chile sauce is perfect. 🤤”
“Great service and food! They were very busy, as we visited during Balloon Fiesta. We always have a great meal. With as busy as it was, I figured service might suffer, but I was wrong, service was impeccable. I'll go to Wecks anytime for the green chile carnitas. Only place I know of that has them prepared with green instead of red, always my favorite!”

“Everything is so good! Warmest greetings & service. I would go here every day if I could. We love this place! ♥️”
“One of my most beloved restaurants, without a doubt. I genuinely appreciate the Spanakopita. The hummus is consistently excellent and pairs wonderfully with a piece of bread. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional customer service. May God bless you all.”
“Oh my gosh. I just ate at this place for the very first time 2 days ago. I drive past this place at least once a week and I've been meaning to stop in for the last several YEARS but never did (just kept forgetting). A friend mentioned to me how good this place was a few days back and I decided that's it I have to go to this place NOW. So I finally stopped by and got the Chipotle Panini. I took one bite and I about passed out it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!! And the banana peppers give it that little extra kick to perfection!!! I can't wait to try everything else on their menu!!!!!! YUMMY!!!!”

“Had lunch with my daughter who had not previously experienced Mediterranean food. I wanted her to try the small family owned Alquds2, as I used to frequent the ABQ location when I worked nearby. Very pleased with this location in Rio Rancho. We were greeted promptly with menus by a polite and friendly young man who took our drink orders right away. Wanting my daughter to have a broad sampling of my favorites, wee ordered appetizers of dolmas, baba ghanoush, and falafel. Platters of beef shawarma with hummus, chicken shawarma with rice and tabouli salads. Appetizers were freshly prepared and came out quickly. Dolmas and falafel were hot and the sauces were so delicious. Baba ghanoush was served with fresh warm pita bread. The tabouli salads were fresh and so tasty. Shawarma platters followed shortly and were also fresh, hot and very delicious. The garlic sauce served with those was also delicious. The food, service and atmosphere are all amazing! I cannot say enough about how good it all was! :)”

“Its been a long time since I’ve had an amazing experience the food was great but the young lady Who brought my order to me was most courteous made me feel important asked me to check my order before she left and if that’s not customer service I don’t know what is if you want to feel good and have a great start. This is the place to go it was good enough for me to ask the young ladies name, I had to know who she was that got my day off to a great day and her name was Darlene thank you I hope you have a great day you made mine”
“Love their hamburgers. Had the double burger which cuts down on carbs and it is the bomb. French fries were hot and fresh as they should be. Have had their grilled chicken and their salads and they are great. Employees greet you and are not annoyed if you have special requests. Have had their sausage gravy over jalapeño cheddar biscuits so many times I've lost count. Always tasty and hot. And if, on a bad day, something is not up to par, they jump at the opportunity to fix it. Give them a try if you haven't.”
“The food was very good. There were too many Tables making it feel cramped. I had a bowl of Chicken and noodles in a tasty broth with Shrimp.
Our server was overwhelmed because of staffing issues and had very little support. After the food was delivered to our table he never came back to check in on us. We had to go to the register to ask him for our check and a doggie bag.
Overall the food was good and I am inclined to return again for another try.”
“I'm really mad! Mad I didn't find this AMAZING restaurant before! Today was our first visit. We had crawfish, Mac and cheese, friend green tomatoes (these were our favorite, fried okra, jerk chicken, remoulade , and an amazing blueberry lemon pudding. EVERYTHING was absolutely wonderful. I haven't had creole/cajun this good since NOLA. K'Lynn and Melissa couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. This is my new fav. My only regret is not going sooner. 💙💙💙”
“We went to Joes last Saturday for a quick bite to eat. The place had beautiful decor and we were quickly seated. Our server was Faith K and she was delightful. Great sense of humor and very personable. I had the chicken parm which was actually 3 chicken breasts under the sauce. My husband had the shrimp piccata and it looked wonderful. We were full by the end but left some room for 2 delicious cannoli. We will be back soon! A delightful evening!
Parking: Parking is right in front of the building. Very easy”

“I got the golden eagle today and it was great! I love how on it and friendly the staff is every time. I am really sad that they removed all the stickers on the wall, so that’s why i would say the atmosphere isn’t quiet five stars, I feel like it gave the building something special and fun.”

“Hit up Davido's Pizza after self proclaimed “pizza snob” Carol recommended it🤷🏻♂️ In house pickup right as it came out of the oven. 2 large pizzas. I don’t belive in eating delivered orders as the chain of custody from business to customer is broken for a large amount of time👏 The pizza is huge. A large is a bough for 6 people easily. Definetly paid for quantity on this one. Toppings very proportional, the bake was good, the crust fluffy and chewy, no crisp tho. Major flop but considering the size of the slice that’s to be expected if folded in hand slightly still a bit of flop which is a personal preference. Note***wasn’t soggy at all and was baked correctly. The dough is pretty bland as it goes where it kind of taste like Costco pizza which isn’t bad. A ton of crust left after a slice, diamond pizza screen bake on bottom till light brown. Was a bit confused why I got charged an additional $1.47 2x for toppings on the 2nd half of the pizza considering ham and pineapple was on the entire pizza? Maybe im misreading tho💁🏻♂️ All in all it’s a good pizza, sauce just taste like pre made canned industry sauce, crust is a bit bland, toppings are the usual quality but good! Tastes about like every other pizza place running on food service products. I felt like I paid for a ton of crust but I will say if you are hosting a football party or birthday this will definetly take care of your needs. Friendly staff, quick service, average pizza with high cost for a lot of dough. I love to support local but at the end of the day two Costco pizzas with pepperoni for $22 is a far better value IMO for the same flavor profile and size if you aren’t looking for pizza that will really wow your palate with proprietary sauces, dough, and cheese blends. Inflation isn’t fair for customer or business🤷🏻♂️ Being fair a solid 3.8 out of 5. 🍕”
“Fantastic!!!! Delicious Food, Great selection of beers on tap and excellent Servers.! Our server Katie made us feel very welcome during our first visit, we are definitely very soon. Try the Turquoise Hamburger, I loved the Maple Bacon Jam, it has a little kick to it.”

“My granddaughter and I stopped in the drive through on Unser today around 3:45. It was after a few errands and I know I was getting irritable. We were greeted through the speaker with amazing customer service. At the window after paying, my granddaughter mentioned that she really liked his positivity. He had us pull around to bring out our food and my granddaughter wanted me to tell him how we appreciate his attitude and energy. He brought our food out quickly and continued to exude friendly and cheerful service. He provided the best service and attitude I’ve received from an employee at any business that I can ever recall. We thought we’d use Facebook to show our appreciation and hope he gets recognition from his manager. The receipt showed the name Zachary. Thanks again, Zachary!!”
“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!”
“We were traveling from Iowa and were hungry for pizza. Staying at a hotel in Bernalillo and searched for pizza and stumbled upon The Hopper and took a chance. The pizza was amazing and we would highly recommend.”

“First time here and I’m definitely going to be back. Incredibly nice people working at the counter and behind the espresso machine. Excellent coffee and a really cozy atmosphere for hanging out, playing games, or doing some work. Would love a few more food options. Thanks for a great experience!”
“I had the quesabirria, oh my goodness.... It was delicious and I can't wait to go back. This is not Tex Mex, or southwestern, it's Mexican and it's a wonderful break from the usual fare you get here in New Mexico. I like my read and green don't get me wrong but this is a step up in my opinion. Highly recommend!”
“My husband and I stoped in to try a new coffee place. I got a chia latte and my husband got a cortado- the drinks were great. I normally don’t like cortados but had a sip of my husbands and enjoyed it- very well balanced. Everyone was friendly and it’s well decorated with some seating. Good choice of drinks, and beans! Definitely found a new favorite.”
“Ordered 150 boneless wings and was only given 8 sauces. When I called to complain. The manager tried to tell me that fifteen wings can be covered by one container of sauce. I hung up. Also only got two containers of veggies when I was supposed to get six. They put them in a bigger container, making it look like they gave you more when they don't. very disappointed. Wanted to give the west central cheerleaders a great meal before their first away football game and it was completely a bust. Not enough sauce. Not enough ranch.”

“This is my new hangout. I've been here many times. The food and drink menue are really good. My brother and I have a great time playing pool! We've had the same waitress each time. She has purple hair and is a great waitress!”
“Best pho and egg rolls I have ever had. The staff is friendly and provides fast service. It is a great place for friends, coworkers and/or family members to get together and to enjoy some good food at the same time.”

“Calti was so rude. I said good morning and she rolled her eyes—didn’t crack a smile. Normally this makes me wonder if she is having a bad day but this girl is ALWAYS like this. Then I gave her my order and asked for light ice; she showed me on the cup how full my drink would be—2/3 full MAYBE by where she pointed. I said that’s not right—just because I want less ice. She just looked at me and held up the cup again and pointed how much drink there would be. I left and so did my 2 friends. Starbucks usually has such positive employees!! I won’t go there—my neighborhood—if she is behind the counter. She needs to be educated on her customer service skills! She should be greeting customers with a smile—I don’t think I’ve EVER seen her smile. She was not busy, especially since 3 of us who only wanted a breakfast sandwich and a drink left!”
“Ordered a bulk meat pkg and a bit disappointed. Asked and was under the impression I was getting both hamburger patties and loose hamburger. Plenty of Club steaks and a ton of hot dogs (!), but no loose meat hamburger, which is what I most wanted. Make sure you know what you are getting before carrying out bulk orders. Can't comment on quality at this time.”

“Cheba Hut has 3 locations, and they're all excellent. The toasted subs are unique and loaded with so much meat and veggies that you get yumminess in every bite. The Garlic Bread is awesome. If you ever get the chance, I would highly recommend this place anytime. Plus they're open late.”
“Went through drive thur, left then discovered my burger was wrong. Had to go back but they kindly fixed it for me. They were very nice and also made me a new frostie and offered me something to drink while I waited. The manger (young gentleman) and nice woman at drive thru were very sweet. Excellent customer service. I will be back. Just check orders before you leave.”
