"My wife and I had never eaten here, but I have to say that we really enjoyed this place. There are plenty of choices for eating. I ate at the Kukri and was happy with my meal choice. My wife ate at On the Flip, she got a hamburger and she enjoyed it. I got the two chicken strip slider sandwich and fries, and it was good. Will go back again and recommend this place."

A stack-up of mural-painted shipping containers houses a Santa Fe Brewing Co. taproom, an arcade, and a changing set of Albuquerque-based food vendors (Guava Tree Cafe's warm-pressed Caribbean sandwiches, Cake Fetish, and Amore pizza are some highlights). But it's really about the views and indoor-outdoor hangout nooks here. The outdoor spaces are especially refreshing; the view over the desert west oddly enough trumps the mountain view to the east.
Guava Tree Cafe - Albuquerque, New Mexico
Christened Tin Can Alley, the complex is one of the Land of Enchantment’s most unique and striking eating, drinking and shipping venues, an 11,000-square-foot behemoth housing ten local businesses all under one roof. Among the ten tenants is the Guava Tree which my friend Ryan “Break the Chain” Scott and I visited four days after its launch. We enjoyed the eatery pod’s newest arepa, a thing of beauty called the arepa del patron, or bosses arepa.
505 Central Food Hall
A second food hall - Tin Can Alley - opened in the midst of the pandemic in May of 2020 on Albuquerque's far north side. A fourth food hall - tentatively named Highlands Central Food Market - has been in development for over 2 years along the Central Ave. corridor on the east side of downtown Albuquerque. As of now, 505 Central Food Hall is the only one in downtown Albuquerque.

Tin Can Alley – I love this creative food court place for their great variation of food. Their pizza and cubanos are my faves, but there is something for everyone.
