Toad Road

Toad Road used to be amazing when they were on Central! Unfortunately, since they've moved, which I can't imagine why they would've since on Central they were in the middle of everything! I'm guessing it was that they were in ultra whiny mode about the art project which turned out to be good, so they move their business in protest and now they're in the middle of nowhere with a bunch of average clothes. They used to be very unique with lots of interesting clothing, but now it's just kind of sad. So they have a bunch of average clothes with the same expensive price tags. At least when they were on Central the expensive price tags worked because the clothes were high-end and very unique. I used to shop there when It was on Central all the time! What a shame!

Great unique stuff! Hand painted Frieda Jean jacket, great hats, and fun stuff. On 4th street

Hands down the best men and womens clothing store in Albuquerque, NM with not only the best selection of clothing and accessories they have amazing customer service!

love this store and the location is great with parking right out front. The owner Ryan is wonderful and caters the film industry folks. great local GEM!!

Okay, so here's my vote on the Albuquerque fashion scene: virtually non-existent, and I'm not complaining. One of the virtues of living in a metro that honestly doesn't care about what you wear is that you can roll out of the sack, throw on some shorts and a t-shirt and go anywhere. Same goes for the entire state, really. Ever visit the Santa Fe opera? Sure, some people dress up, but formal threads are totally optional. The unfortunate, natural extension of all of this unfashionableness would be a visit to Walmart, where Burque peeps really flout their plumage: pajamas and slippers. And on the other side of the spectrum, people that make the effort to actually dress up around here are seriously critiqued. They don't fit. It's a strange predicament, something Portland solved a while back by declaring plaid the pattern of Those in the Know. Here in ABQ it's still Anything Goes, and often that goes horribly, horribly wrong.Toad Road is one of a few businesses that's all about Urban Eye for the Burque Guy (and girl), and I absolutely love it. The accessories for men, like ties and belt buckles and hats, actually compete with the incredible stuff they have for the ladies. Great tees, cool jeans and shirts and dresses. The artwork is fantastic, the murals are vibrant, there's so much to discover, here. And I don't understand the logic behind an advertising campaign that focusses on the frilly edges of sexy panties draped just above denim wrapped hips, but I'm not complaining. This shop is everything Urban Outfitters wishes it could be: connected to the energy on the street. Oh, and mommas, this is a seriously rocking Father's Day locale.

Ryan and the rest of the crew are always super pleasant to be around and the selection stays current and is regularly updated while still keeping the staples stocked! One of the only places in ABQ where I can get quality goods. Thanks, Toad Road!

Two of my friends, Evan and Ryan, own this store. Toad Road definitely fills a void in the Albuquerque shopping scene for casual higher-end designer jeans, shirts, shoes, and accessories. American Apparel, paper denim, gola, and diesel appear alongside with local 'burque designers. My best buy there to date was a pair of fingerless gloves Evan's grandma had knit. Stop in during a Nob Hill stroll, you'll be treated not only to fresh clothing but fun conversation with the guys and some pretty sweet tunes. If you manage to be nearby during one of the Nob Hill shop-and-stroll events you'll likely hear the sounds of a few more of my friends playing guitar, singing, and perhaps the best homemade biscochitos I've ever had.

i love this store. margot is the light of my life. so are the clothes. and bow ties. 11/10

For the ladies I'd place it as a funky fashion-current boutique with a good assortment of BB Dakota, 7 for All Mankind, and many other on-trend brands. For the guys it's a good place to shop if you want to look casual cool WITHOUT the thrift-shop-sleaze and/or I'm-trying-too-hard factor. You can find jeans that your girlfriend will like, tees for every occasion, hoodies, blazers, hats, and even scarves if your beard is too weak to be a proper facejacket. The appropriately bearded owner Ryan is easygoing and equally helpful when I asked him to pick a few things to try on. When I shop without help I buy the same grey sweaters, black pencil skirts, and skinny jeans. My favorite piece that Ryan suggested is a bright chunky cable knit cardigan with rosette buttons. There's also an old dog (I think her name is Margo) who will accept your affection or contently ignore you, affordable prints from local artists, belt buckles, vegan handbags, maybe a little bit of footwear, a good selection of sale items, and a relaxed happy vibe.

I brought an out of town guest shopping at Toad Road. He found a few items that he really liked. He is 23 years old and was looking for clothes that are funky. It was good that he was with me because I thought he wore a medium. but he actually needs a large. The salesperson was very helpful with the sizes. Nice selection of stylish clothes for men and women.
