Nomad's BBQ

Note: Nomad BBQ is no longer at the Rio Grande Blvd sticks 'n bricks location if you, like me before an extended road trip, last dealt with him there. Theo's operating in food truck mode only now. He mentioned being at the yellow & blue HappyDaze Cannabis building across from the Maverik gas station on Jefferson St NE at junction of I-25 and Jefferson. I'm unsure of what days & hours. Give him a call to get the "who, what, when, where, why, & how" for his location on any given day. However, I must say that Nomad BBQ is still providing *excellent* Texas style BBQ of exceptional tastiness at very economical prices, given the high quality of the food. If you see their truck anywhere around town, stop in, chow down, and smile ... smile ... smile ... at all the wondrous gustatorial nirvana you've just indulged in. Hands down, killer good BBQ! Everything I said in my previous review still stands. Of special note, besides the extremely good food, is the gregarious, outgoing, and hyper friendly personality that positively shines out of Mr Theo. One of the most convivial food vendors in town. Period!

Yummy and tasty food from a small family business worthy of ABQ's local support. Theo the owner does the bbq/smoking of the meat himself. You can tell he is passionate and love sharing his bbq with his customer. His signature meat? He mentioned the pulled pork meat and the brisket! The side worthy of trying (although Theo himself doesn't like coleslaw himself? The pineapple coleslaw...based on my brief discussion with another local customer I met onsite!I personally found that the price/value for the amount and quality of food Nomad's bbq provides is well worth it. I had a pulled pork sandwich (plus a bit of brisket and the 2 sides that I couldn't resist trying to save for my next meal) and thought the meat was smokey, jiving and so scrumptious...and this is coming from someone who normally doesn't eat so much meat like myself!Overall, I really like that Theo seems passionate about making the food that he serves. Plus, it doesn't hurt that this bbq type of food tastes so good..and is so rare to find ABQ, too.

Talk about a fabulous little hole in the wallPlace? Well, this is it. The Smoked BBQ chicken breast was incredible. Moist and juicy! The shredded beef brisket on a tasty roll was out of this world. The beef was lean and the portion was huge. The service was great at the take out window. We will be back soon.

Great little gem for BBQ! Very generous sandwiches and great sidesDrinks are not offered, so be prepared Prices are very reasonable!Great take outLocated on Rio Grande behind El Patio,Once you go, you won't forget it!Very friendly service

Trust me, I know good BBQ and this is beyond great. Not only is the food I tried delicious, but the owner is an extremely nice person that made me feel at home the moment he saw me walking up to the ordering window. Nomads has a walk-up window where orders are placed. The menu is nothing fancy but the simplicity is perfect. They offer brisket, pulled pork, sausage, ribs, and Turkey legs served up as a sandwich or by itself. You can add on sides for a couple bucks more to make it a plate. Drink selection was extremely limited to Dr. Pepper, so it was a pass on the beverages. On this occasion, I had the pulled pork sandwich as I was told brisket was sold out. I was there relatively early, so I'm kind of perplexed. Brisket is the meat that most BBQ joints are judged on. So I was undoubtedly bummed as this restaurant is quite a drive from the nest. Orders were delivered to my car, so that was a plus. The pulled pork was really good. It came on an overly fluffy roll, which was perfect given how juicy the meat was. If not for this bread, the sandwich probably would have fell apart from being soggy. The sandwich that I ordered was huge, as in I barely finished it huge. The meat was smoked to juicy perfection with pronounced smoke taste present in every bite. Quality of food: perfect. The price was reasonable at $7 for the huge portion. Overall, I really liked this place. Super bummed that I didn't get to taste the holy grail cut of BBQ, brisket, on this occasion, but it is a place that I will give a second shot at some point. Drink menu and brisket inventory needs a bit of an upgrade, but overall I recommend Nomads.

This is a review of Nomads inside of Isleta amphitheater. The food is pretty good but the portions were really small especially for $13. I had some brisket and some pulled pork. Food prices are always high at concerts so it was expected to be a little more expensive but damn put some food on the plate. The service flat out sucked. I don't know what was going on between the cashier and the cook but it certainly carried over into the way we were treated. Normally when you tell someone thank you and leave them a tip you expect some kind of acknowledgment but nothing just a spaced out stare from the young lady and a pissed off cook lol. Anyways I read great reviews about the actual restaurant and so I'll probably go in and try it out but I'm not giving them any more of my money at the concerts. Two thumbs down from me.

The key word here is smoky flavor. You can try your hand at prepping your own ribs at home, etc. but you won't get the smokiness achieved at Nomad's. I tried this recently and failed miserably. So what to order here? I liked the pulled pork even though I am not a huge fan. They pull this off very well (this might be one of their strong items actually). You can't go wrong with a full rack of ribs, dipping them in their signature bbq sauce will have you licking your fingers. You also need to have the hot links, because they are hot links. I tried the sweet corn side which paired very well with everything. I recommend calling in your order in advance as things sell out.

Excellent pulled pork. The brisket can be a bit salty. Unfortunately, hard to find out where the food truck is located.

Julius was excellent, he was so helpful and I absolutely love the food here. Best Barbecue in Albuquerue

Not great, pretty annoying, after waiting two hours, my order was canceled. Are any of these reviews actually real?
