Downtown (111 Marble Ave NW): Features a revolving lineup of local food trucks, including options like Don Choche, Tikka Spice, and Papa Cano’s Pizza.

Little Red Hamburger Hut – Albuquerque, New Mexico (CLOSED)

“I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.” – J. Wellington Wimpy Cultural shock! It’s been oft repeated that the United States and England are two nations separated by a common language. I had no idea how much the two nations are separated by more than language until 1979 when stationed at Royal Air Force Base Upper Heyford just outside of Oxford, England. Cultural differences were especially evident in dining experiences. Back then American fast food restaurants were as scarce in England as fish and chips restaurants were in the United States. McDonald’s, Burger King and Pizza Hut had just starting to make inroads in the megalopolis of London. In smaller cities, if we wanted an American hamburger, the…

Bristol Doughnut Co. – Albuquerque, New Mexico

While most people speak with fond nostalgia about their first ride on a double-decker bus, the memories of our inaugural trip are tinged with horror that traumatizes us to this day. As with most visitors making their first excursion to London, we wanted to take in all the sights with the best vantage point you can have. That meant sitting on the top deck of a double-decker. These bi-level behemoths ride higher than almost everything else on the road save for those noisy articulated lorries ( what we Yanks call semi-trailer trucks). Despite the congestion that typifies London’s streets, double-deckers provide spectacular, mostly unobstructed views of the city. Though we arrived early to ensure we got seats on the coveted…

66 Diner – Albuquerque, New Mexico

Known as “America’s Highway” and celebrated by author John Steinbeck as the “Mother Road,” the legendary Route 66 meandered across 2,448 miles of the fruited plain, crossing three time zones and eight states as it traversed from Chicago to Los Angeles. For many—especially destitute sharecroppers fleeing Oklahoma’s devastating Dust Bowl—Route 66 held the promise of a better life. For others, Route 66 brought a sense of connectedness with parts of America previously considered difficult to reach. For them, Route 66 engendered a frontier spirit of adventure, greatly expanding their vacation options and travel opportunities. For hundreds of communities strewn along the two-lane blacktop, Route 66 was also an engine of economic prosperity, creating tremendous opportunities for entrepreneurs large and small.…

This place is horrible!!!!! I love beer and was visiting New Mexico on business, I love to visit new breweries so figured I would give this one a try since I had such a good experience at Kelly’s Brew pub in New Mexico the day before. Lets just keep it simple and straight to the point, the beer was ok not much of a variety, the service was bad and my legendary nachos were luke warm with cold sirloin which there was only two peices. This place is a joke and I would not recomend this place to my worst enemy!!!!!!!!!

RPL is pretty observant. There is no way that the item in the photo is Texas Red chili, the only place in Albuquerque to get a decent bowl (yes-a bowl’ not a plate) is in my kitchen (yes is does have cumin but I sneak a little green chile into).

Culinary sensuist (nice label, Gil) Larry has never been to Marble Brewery. I do love their brews, and drink them wherever I find them. Corrales Bistro Brewery keeps Marble IPA on tap.

I also try to keep some Marble in my beer refrigeration unit . For yesterday’s Super Bowl (not to be confused with the RRFB’s Souper Bowl), I swigged some Marble Red. Wonderful stuff.

And yes, I do love Nexus. Perhaps you and I should go there some day, and we should take a tea-totaler driver. Andrea liked the fish tacos.

Great observation! We definitely ordered Chama chili and until you mentioned it, that’s what I assumed we got. Upon further review, we appear to have been served a hybrid. The menu describes the Marble Nachos as “a layer of tortilla chips, Chama chili and spicy queso.” The Chama chili is “Texas-style chili made with cubes of sirloin simmered with pinto beans and red chile and served with homemade tortilla chips.” Our dish definitely had a layer of tortilla chips, Chama chili (including the cubes of sirloin) and pinto beans, but it also had the spicy queso.

Gil, I don’t like to comment on a place I have not been to, but your picture in the review, labeled Chama Chili, looks more like Marble’s website description of Marble Nachos to me. No meat, and lots of Queso in the photo. Is this a mixup? I might eat this for a Nacho dish, but would be disappointed if it were served to me as Chili.
