New Mexico Beef Jerky Company: A Local Gem for Authentic New Mexican Cuisine

OMG - burrito overload! Went there first thing Friday after Thanksgiving needed sustenance after not eating since T-day dinner 20 hours ago. Crowded even at 11 am on a Friday. Plenty of locals, people on bicycles and motorcycles, looks like a place people make an adventure of! Ordered the carne asada burrito with green chile, took maybe 10 minutes, was da bomb. Green chiles really make things NM-style, and this was no exception. Also, if you like jerky, they have tubs of fresh jerky of so many styles. Order my the pound! Big pieces of beef looking all jerked and dark. This place must go through a thousand pounds of beef a week! I'd never thought of coming here before, it sounded too touristic, but it was evident that it was local and that it was terrific. Will return here next time in town.

Parking is the only negative aspect of this amazing spot. Since everyone and their momma want to eat here parking can be tricky. Now all the good stuff, great services full of smiles and are willing to provide any information in regards to their with no attitude. Their burritos are the best in Albuquerque. I don't care what anyone has to say. Their burritos are not overly potatoed like most New Mexican's "favorite" burrito spots. They don't hold back on eggs and their protein portions are very generous. There is so much, that I have one burrito for breakfast and lunch. Their chile is also phenomenal, I usually go Christmas-style. If you need jerky they got you covered, you have a sweet tooth they got you covered, beverages they got you covered. This is a must-try!!!!

Arguably the best breakfast burritos in town. The chile here has amazing heat and flavor. I've noticed the wait times can get up there when there's a crowd but the food is absolutely worth the wait. 4.5 stars!

Omg. Omg. Green Smothered Carne Adovada breakfast burrito is big and amazing. A very nice police officer in line warned me that the lunch was huge so I opted the breakfast option. The green chili is spicy and I'm sweating. Delicious. This is casual, local, order at the counter and they'll bring it out. Grab your drink before you order. This is my new fave ABQ spot.

Quick service. The line moved quickly and the staff was friendly. Food was fresh and delicious.

I want to start off by saying the smell from the parking lot alone should be excuse enough to come inside. I've driven by this spot a million times and never thought to go inside. A friend mentioned the religious sign out front kind of makes it look like a church or something and that's definitely crossed my mind before driving by. But nonetheless, finally decided to pay a visit for a breakfast burrito and I'll definitely be back. They have so much more than beef jerky. Once you walk in you'll see a coffee and pastry counter and it even said they had boba. The menu is pretty extensive including everything from burgers to breakfast burritos with a variety of meats and such to choose from. I ordered the chicharron breakfast burrito with Christmas on the side. The green is hot, no joke. The burrito was massive, easily could be split amongst two people. For about $10, I would say it's a deal.

This was my first experience here at New Mexico beef jerky company. It looks like this business first started out selling the famous New Mexico beef jerky but started expanding out to food. Now they have a full non alcoholic drink bar with tons of flavors, breakfast and lunch items, snacks deserts and all kinds of fun stuff. It has this really quaint New Mexico old world charm to it with the wood beams that look like old rustic cabin logs on the ceiling, signs that seem hand drawn like they used to do in the 70s before computers. It's like old world diner meets New Mexican restaurant vibes. I was unsure if I wanted the chicharrón burrito and the manager over heard that so he let me try a sample. Omg it was so crispy and good i definitely ordered it! I got it with hatch green chili on the inside and a side of the red salsa. Okay, so I love their chicharrón more on the side than inside the burrito. The burrito is super bomb and their green chili is soooo good, but the chicharrón kinda takes away from it a bit, don't get it wrong im not complaining, still contender for best breakfast burrito in Albuquerque, but next time I wanna try it with steak or chorizo. The food came out fast, it was hot, and the servers were really friendly! A+ experience Funny story, the server after my meal was friendly and chatted with me and asked if I wanted to try the jerky, so I tried a sample of their beef jerky while I was here and their food is much much better than the jerky.

This might be one of those places you just have to visit when you're in Albuquerque. It's definitely a local favorite for the $10 breakfast burritos that are served all day. They are closed Sundays and Mondays, and they close at 3 PM! They have a parking lot, but it is almost always full. It's not easy to wait for a spot to open up because of how small the lot is. The chicharron breakfast burrito was a flavorful, jam-packed burrito. This is just my preference, but I would pick a different protein next time. The chicharron is too chewy for me. I tried the $13 carne adovada breakfast plate. This is like the burrito but without the tortilla. The meat tasted like chicken. I got the bavarian cream from the dessert shop (it's the register over). It was heavenly.

Probably the best breakfast burrito I've had so far in Albuquerque! Ordering is done at the counter and then you wait briefly for your order. There's plenty of seating inside or it's also an easy to-go spot for breakfast.
