Bocadillos Slow Roasted

Came and got turkey and avacado sandwiches that were pretty good. There was absolutely no parking so we parked on the other side of Blake’s Lotaburger, the waitresses were staring at us, so don’t park in their lot. My friend said that Diners, Drive-​in, and Dives came here and Guy Ferri liked the placed, it was good.

Heard that this place had an amazing reuben sandwich. I came in and the guy behind the counter was super friendly a+ service. Place was very clean. My sandwich was delivered in a hurry by an extremely nice girl. Unfortunately the reuben was a little dry for my liking. The sourkraut was delicious and bread toasted perfectly. I could see on a better day this could have been a five star reuben but on my visit it was overcooked. Was really hoping to leave a better review but even great reputation restaurants can have an off day. I’m also a big fan of coleslaw and while I enjoy a kinda crisp slaw this was too crisp almost like it had just Come out of the slaw mix bag then mixed with dressing. The dressing had a slightly sour after taste to it. couldn’t finish it.

Great sandwiches. They make something typically bland phenomenal. Who knew a turkey sandwich could be exciting, loaded with flavor. Not your typical bland-​which. Love that you can take your food to the brewery.

Okay… we finished the sandwiches. Yummmmm. This picnic in a garage was filling. We had the Philly and Filthy sandwiches. Both were delish. The Philly was tender pulled beef and the filthy is tender pulled chicken. Both sandwiches are ju icy and filled with meat and roasted peppers with the Philly having the requisite cheeeze. If you hold the sandwich, eat til it’s done or it will fall apart in your hands from the juices. And that’s why they give you a fork. Or was that for the small pickled tomatoes/​artichoke and mozzarella cheese side ramekin? Either way… fork is a help eating this awesome sandwich. Guy Fieri was here for this unique Dive. And now you know why! A must visit in Albuquerque, NM.
Remember, life is a one way street, eat well and be happy.

Nice place with good food. The Duke City Ruben is the best sandwich I have ever eaten.

I have only had the rueben. Twice. The taste is amazing. Every bite heaven. The bread buttery. The sauce tangy. The meat is slow roasted to perfection. Great service too. Staff super nice on both our visits.

My wife picked out this spot, and I was hyped after she told me it was a DDD location and I saw the menu. And when I walked in, I liked the look of it. But then the food happened.
The side of potato salad was about ¼ cup, very small. And besides it being creamy, it had no taste. No salt, no special seasoning, it just tasted like potatoes and mayo. Bleah. My TNA sandwich was also lacking any flavor — it just tasted like they boiled chicken in water with pineapple, drained and shredded it, and served it on a soft roll that quickly got softer from the juices. The pineapple was a mushy mess and the texture was just wrong with the soft turkey. There were 3 thin slices of avocado across the top of the sandwich, and if there was any green chile in there, it must have been diluted down during the straining or something. Nearly $ 10 for that sandwich?! *shudder*
My wife ordered the Cubano, and that one was better, if only because pork does better when slow-​cooked than turkey. You could actually taste the barbeque or chili sauce, and the pickles were good.
I walked out of the restaurant and told my wife, «I kinda wish we’d have just seen what this Bob’s Burgers place next door is all about.» That’s how disappointed I was in this place.
The drinks served in the Mason jars was a nice touch, though. The paper bags each sandwich was served in, however, was such a waste of garbage.

Yum! Seen this place on Triple D so decided to search it out. Definitely worth the drive. Loved the food and the atmosphere. Counter staff coulda probably got a better tip if he smiled and didnt seem annoyed by. our food network references

Since this was featured on Diners, Drive-​Ins and Dives, I had to give it a check while I was in ABQ. The place is very clean. The workers were all helpful and pleasant.
We weren’t a big fan of the sandwiches. We ordered the Cubano and the cheesesteak. For loyalists of these two sandwiches it should be said that these ARE VARIATIONS of the cheesesteak and Cubano. It is their spin on the authentic sandwiches.
Whether it is eat in or take out, everything is served in a paperbag. That’s actually not bad for the eat in as it comes with sandwich on a tray and when you are done eating, just put your garbage back in the paperbag and toss it out. It helps keep this smaller eating establishment clean and ready for the next patron.
Drinks are served in small mason jars. Ice tea or Pepsi products.
It was a restaurant we had not been to in ABQ. It was a pleasant experience. The variation on either sandwich from the authentic wasn’t something that made us want to come back anytime soon.

Yum! I saw this on DDD and had to try it. Absolutely fantastic! If you are traveling through Albuquerque, stop here for lunch. The food was just like it was shown in the show.
Just be very careful about parking. Do not park at Blake’s Lotaburger. You will get towed.
People in my party of 6 ate every major sandwich on the menu, no complaints. Everyone was happily satiated. One bigger guy said, «you made a fat guy happy.»
I had the Cubano. Tasty, not overly spicy and very moist. The chipotle potato salad had a bit of bite, but not enough to clear the sinuses.
I saw lots of locals and business types. I’m looking forward to trying the T&A sandwich tomorrow.

I was tempted to try this location after seeing it on diners drive ins and dives. I wasn’t disappointed.
I found the restaurant easily and the location is very cool. I didn’t go inside my husband did but the outside is funky and fresh. The area the restaurant is located in is very modern looking. The restaurant is located next to a Lotaburger and there were signs all over the building stating it was Lotaburger parking only. This just made me want to eat at Bocadillos more, obviously it’s popular.
We took the food as take out. When we got it home the food was wonderfully presented. I was a little disappointed off the bat at the size of the to go order side. It was a small container with only a few bites in it. The sandwich was halved and looked delicious. The bread was not soggy
The food was delicious. The duke city Ruben was amazing. The cole slaw was also awesome. I still wish there had been a bigger portion though.
Overall very satisfied with my food and the service. I will be back.

Sold! This place hands down has the best damn hot, hearty, mouthwatering Sandwiches! The Duke City Reuben by far to me is the bomb sandwich, the quality & cut of Corn Beef they are utilizing is spectacular, the other selections of sandwiches are good but I am SOLD on there Reuben! This is THEE place to get your hearty Sandwiches in town. The only suggestion I have is the side items are A-​okay I really would love that they offer «Sandwich» only option ;)
Nick is the sweetest & kindest guy with amazing customer service skills, always pleasant, helpful and making sure your taken care. Love the casual hip ambiance and the cleanliness of the establishment!
I now know were to go & tell all my people where to get the best hearty Sandwiches! BOCADILLOS

I have eaten the TnA, 505-​Filthy, The Cuban and 505-​Philly. I have not been disappointed and each time the flavor is better. The artichoke, mozzarella and tomato side that is offered is so good.

Terrible location. Tables are too short. Weird vibe. Takes too long to get a simple sandwich…
But sometimes, every once in a while, the quality of the food makes up for so much. This is one of those times. Absolutely epically good meats served creatively with quality fixins. Great Potato salad. Truly shockingly good food.

BEST SANDWICHES IN ABQ.
Sometimes the wait is worth it, and after 25 minutes I would say it is. This round I got the Cubano with the Artichoke and Tomato salad. Absolutely delicious.

WOW! I will never look at a sandwich the same again! Bocadillos is just simply awesome. The décor is a theme of a car garage they even have an old Texaco gas pump inside (props to Texaco since my dad retired from them). There are wooden patio tables inside to sit and a nice covered patio outside if you want to eat out there. I had the T&A with the tomato/​artichoke salad and my husband had the Reuben of course :).
My sandwich was wonderful, I loved the marinated onions with the cheese and the roasted turkey was flavored perfectly. My side salad had just the right amount of garlic flavoring, if they sold the tomato artichoke salad as a meal I would order just that. My husband’s reuben looked great, I tasted the sauerkraut and it had a sweet taste to it. He said it was great too.
We will definitely make this a favorite lunch spot!

I have this special friend, her name is Marie. She owns this place called Bocadillos, and her reuben sandwich is, quite possibly, the most incredible creation since people started putting stuff between sliced bread.
Marie is the real Burqueño deal: she started this thing at a community kitchen in the south valley, cooking for school kids. A year or so down the line she needed a bigger spot, so she moved to the north valley, still cooking for kiddos with a little lunch operation on the side. Grown-​ups started coming in, and they loved the food, too. Next thing you know she was winning awards, getting featured in local publications and even national TV programs. And just a few days ago, she opened Bocadillos redux: a big dining room with dope personality, widened patio and a sweet sheet metal counter. The beer and wine license is on its way. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, Monday through Friday.
But wait, there’s more. In July Marie is launching another eatery, near I-​40 and San Mateo. So to sum Marie up: started with virtually nothing, put love and joy into everything she created, and with a little help, she’s an incredible success. And here’s why Marie is one of my #FavoritePeople in this city: she always calls me Babe. Next time you visit, say hi. Chances are good you’ll be her Babe, too.

After they quadrupled the size of their facility, I’d been here twice! Each time was fabulous as if I were among «like-​minded» strangers! After the order was put in and I waited for the mouthwatering sandwich to call my name, I’d watch other diners who appeared happy and content, that’s what good eats do for you… oh at great prices, too!

On an attempt to try as many local and high rated (by Unilocal) places as I can, I came to Bocadillos for lunch.
The Place: I arrived around 1pm (to avoid lunch rush hour) and although there are limited sitting spaces I was able to find a spot in their outside patio. There were some tourists taking pictures and talking to the owner; it gave me a chance to hear all about her story on how Diners, Drive-​Ins and Dives arrived to their place. She mentioned the restaurant had only been open for a couple of months when she got the call from the TV show, she thought it was a joke but they sent her all the info. to verify it was legit, then asked her to prepare the place two weeks before their arrival, and after the show was aired, the popularity of Bocadillos skyrocket, so much that they will open a new location (not sure where tough).
I really liked their location, the atmosphere is relaxed, simple decoration, and the staff although limited was really friendly.
The Food: I ordered the 5−0-Philly, it was huge!!! The meat was tender & soft, the green chile gave it the spicy factor, the bun was soaked by the meat juice so it made it soggy, and the vegetables (especially the mushrooms) added a nice flavor. I really liked it, BUT personally I think the meat lacked some flavor, that would had made it just perfect.
All sandwiches come with a side, I picked the potato salad which was delicious, the portion was small, I would have liked to have a bigger portion. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to others! I will be back soon…

After reading reviews and learning this place was a favorite spot for Guy Fieri, I decided to give it a try. I had trouble locating it at first, but it was located in a garage next to a fast food joint with a little sign that said «Enter» on the door!
Some may shy away at the fact that they have a small menu (several sandwiches at most) but personally, that just means they’ve truly perfected their options! I ordered the 5 – 0 Filthy and the flavors of this sandwich is something that could never be duplicated. The chipotle mayo mixed with this special cheese they use really made for a creamy pairing against the grilled chicken and bacon. And let’s not forget the green chiles! OMG the green chiles. I learned that they are a staple to authentic food in New Mexico and this place does it right. Also tried the chipotle potato salad and I fell in love with each bite.
