I recommend that you start with a flight and sample them all. These are beers with unique character, in other words, and you may have to work to find one that suits you. Their chocolate stout for instance is very bitter and coffee-like, and the cream ale is light to the point of vanishing. At Nexus, the different styles of beer on tap are all very distinctive, sometimes idiosyncratic. Now that IвЂ™ve sampled quite a few of their brews, I think I know why they have that perspective, though I donвЂ™t share it. Before I went myself, IвЂ™d heard from some friends that theyвЂ™d found that NexusвЂ™ beer was a weak point and that the pints theyвЂ™d had tasted strange. Of course, Nexus is first and foremost a brewery and has a wide range of handcrafted beers. No problem as far as IвЂ™m concerned IвЂ™d happily wait all day. Stick that savory, salty, crunchy, spicy dark meat (or breast for $2 extra) next to a fluffy, sweet, butter-battered waffle, and each bite will bring you closer to that вЂњheavenly place where everything is perfect.вЂќ Please note that the menu says to allow 20 minutes for the chicken. After tasting the version offered up at Nexus, I can only ask, what took it so long? Of course, the fact that the kitchen at Nexus can really fry up a chicken-and I mean itвЂ™s the best IвЂ™ve ever had-helps. A dish that traces its origins back to the pre-Civil War South, the chicken and waffle combination has only recently begun to make inroads into New Mexico. But why on earth would you do that? Adding pork to the dish elevates it from your typical nacho plate to something smoky, rich and sweet that youвЂ™re just not going to find anywhere else.Д®ric Williams By far, the star of the show is the Southern fried chicken and waffle (two pieces for $10, additional pieces $2 each). Nothing out of the ordinary here, and you could certainly ignore the waiterвЂ™s pulled pork recommendation and instead stick with the usual nacho suspects of chicken or beef and have a pretty good appetizer thatвЂ™s right on par with your expectations. A mountain of corn chips with fresh pico de gallo, cheddar cheese and green or red chile thatвЂ™s not afraid to show its teeth. The word вЂњfusionвЂќ doesnвЂ™t seem right for a joint like this, though this is just good food that tastes good together.

Why should it be any different for African American soul food? At Nexus, youвЂ™ll find slow cooked, pulled pork in your nachos and calabacitas happily sharing the menu with red beans and rice. With food like this, itвЂ™s not hard to see why.Д¬uisine in New Mexico has long been about blending the traditions of different cultures-whether the classic blend of Spanish and Native American or the more recent phenomenon of green chile finding its way into a sushi roll.

Judging by the consistently full restaurant and stuffed-to-the-gills parking lot, plenty of others have learned the route as well. Chances are good that youвЂ™ll miss it the first time you go, but if your experience is like mine, youвЂ™ll keep coming back and soon be able to get there in your sleep (the Weekly Alibi legal team does not recommend this, please stay awake while you drive). The brewery is awkwardly located in a generic office space/warehouse complex on the I-25 feeder road just north of Montgomery. ItвЂ™s a bit of a journey to try to find the place, though. A вЂњheavenly place where everything is perfectвЂќ? You have to admire a man who is willing to set the bar that high.

For dinner I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with green chile bacon mac and cheese which is.Eric Williams So Captain Carson (as his employees sometimes call him), with the blessings of his wife and the guidance of one of the worldвЂ™s most popular sci-fi franchises, opened the Nexus Brewery, probably the only purveyor of both handcrafted beer and вЂњNew Mexico soul foodвЂќ in the world. I had the honey wheat which tasted like liquid honey very sweet but good. Their home cooking comfort style gumbo was definitely five. moreДЇriendly casual vibe kinda place! My husband ordered the chicken and waffles and I ordered the gumbo and we shared both delicious plates. I have been waiting about 10 minutes since they sat me and I have not been approached by a waiter or waitress.

So I had great experience the last time this time not so much.

My partner and I tried going there a few weeks. The place was crowded and the staff seemed to have little crew how long the wait would be. Pretty disappointed in our dinner experience there. Three wasn't enough! The fish was super fresh and tender. Staff was friendly and accommodating and food was delicious.
