Bethany "B" G.'s Profile

After some medical shit I was going through, I put off doing my taxes till last week HA. I had no idea ABQ doesn't mail out a 1040EZ form till I got to H&R. I was used to CA doing that. I had 3 returns (federal, CA, and ABQ) to do, during my appt. with Jaqueline she was able to finish all 3 in less than 45min. I'm getting a decent return and just in time for my trip to CA in a couple weeks :)  :)  :)

The first and only coffee I was able to drink straight black.

First off, thank you Alex for my amazing piece.

I came here in late Feb. to book an appt. I had wanted a memorial piece done that included text and some other shiz. I made my appt. for early March but I wasn't able to make it and had to reschedule, since I called ahead my deposit was still good. Finally the day came and I got a call from my tattoo artist that he wasn't comfortable with my original idea asked me to come in anyway to work something new out. I hadn't met with Alex before so him straight up telling me this shit wasn't going to work made me feel better about who was doing my tattoo. He had great ideas and when I came in the next day to get it done I loved it on paper and I love the way it came out when it was completely finished. It took me forever to decide what I wanted for a tattoo, I know it'll take just as long to figure out color. So, I'm good for now and very happy.

I don't know how to make this sound not racist but I was worried about eating here as soon as I saw that there was no Mexican/Hispanics in the kitchen. K call me a biggot but I was proven right as soon as I got my meal. It was disgusting. Burnt tostadas, the carne adovada was just too gross to eat after 1-2 bites,  nasty jalapeño dressing that this restaurant was obvious "proud" of, and it seemed like jalapeños were the only spicy thing the cooks knew of. Yeah the chips, salsa, and guacamole  were good but I didn't come here to eat just chips right? 2 stars because of the salsa and the view is pretty.  Our waitress was efficient enough but she lacked so much personality she made us feel awkward. I feel pretty hopeless that there's no good Mexican places in New Mex. Any tips would be appreciated.

Damn this bitch was packed but that didn't stop us from going 4x during our Vegas trip. We just learned not to order inside. I forgot how good their animal style fries and neapolitan shakes are. MMMMMmMMmNMmmdsdnfh

My friend and I came here with about 5min left to spare of their happy hour. I ordered their spicy salmon roll which turned out to be decent enough. My friend ordered 3 other rolls, she was satisfied. Our waiter was nice and also a cutie. He hooked it up with free soup. We also ordered teriyaki chicken, vegetables were yummy but the chicken was dry.

I MISS YOU CARMEN'S! LIVED IN HAYWARD MY ENTIRE LIFE AND YOU NEVER FAILED ME.

Go. Go to Carmen's.
Right now.

I've only had homemade pupusas my whole life so I was pretty excited to come here and try some pupusas. The experience was a little on the "ehhh" side.  I came here with my aunt and grandma. We all tried different types of pupusas and they were pretty damn good. Only $2.50 a piece. My pupusas came with beans, rice, and a baked potatoe?? I wanna know if thats customary. The rice was delicious but the beans were old and dry. The staff was very friendly but lacked a little in the waitressing department. No ice in the iced tea? The overhead music was techno/trance which was pretty hilarious. It was a good experience, I'll go back, my order will probably be to-go.

I have been searching for good BBQ ever since I moved to Albuquerque (4 months ago). I took my aunt out for a date this past Saturday and I couldn't be happier. Our waitress was so sweet and on top of her game. The side salad was the freshiest I've had in a while and HUGE. They're fried zucchinni was delicious. I wanted some fucking ribs and fucking ribs is what I got. It was called a rib "sandwich" but what I was dished out was a rack of ribs on one piece of Texas toast. Fine with me, I was happy. My aunt loved her Rueben sandwich and we both had leftovers. Now I'm hungry.

My mom has nothing but nice things to say about Bob's Volvo Service. Her new Volvo is a computer on wheels and every time I go visit it's flashing another light to get serviced. She takes it to Bob's and really respects the fact that they do only the service that is needed, quickly, and efficiently.

So when I came to visit this past week, she wanted me to take my Hyundai into Bob's so they could check out my shocks. I'm not sure if they like to just stick to Volvo's and other cars they specialize in but my mom requested they take my car in since she's been so happy with them. We got there when the shop opened and it looked like they were going to have a busy day. It looked like they had 5+ people drop off their cars. Later Jason called and stated what was wrong with my car, he can fix it, and he'll call when it's done. When we went to go pick it up, Jason brought out this car part and explained what was wrong and why it needed to be fixed. Heck if I remember now but it was really cool to not just hear some jargon. My car feels so much better and I believe my mom dropped off her Volvo for Jason today!

Thanks Jason!
