Twisters

Pretty much always on the ball, great burritos, nice staff, the kind of place where they remember your name. Good job over there! They keep me and my staff fed and happy, at least once a week.

Great burrito and really amazing service. I am extremely impressed by how attentive the staff is here!

Not exactly healthy, but delicious!

Fast food New Mexican breakfast burritos? Yes please! It’s not top notch quality but it it’s greasy, cheesy, and has decent chile and hits the spot in a pinch.

Every time I visit Albuquerque, I stop this restaurant and get a burrito.
Burrito + green chile sauce + fries = dream come true.

It’s a Twisters connected to a Subway. Something for everyone. Twisters isn’t the best New Mexican food, not by a long shot, but it will do if you have a craving for salty fast food. My staple here is the ¹⁄₈ or ¼ «Twister», a burrito smothered with curly fries.

The green chile cheese fries were soggy, and I had to microwave it to make the cheese melt.

Fast food, NM style. I got the New Mexico breakfast burrito, smothered with Christmas. It was good, if very «fast food”-ish. The people here are friendly, and this location shares space with a Subway. The only downside is the incredibly awkward and potentially dangerous location of the drive-​thru order microphone. It’s located right near the entrance where dine-​in customers walk! Watch out for blind spots, pedestrians and drivers!

I was driving through Albuquerque and decided to grab a vegetarian breakfast burrito (plus potatoes!). There was a little bit of a wait inside but it was totally worth it. This may have been the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had.

Pretty good. I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here, but when I do I enjoy it.

Solid enough chain here in ABQ. I wonder why I don’t see Twisters anywhere else? Good breakfast burritos. I’m a fan. Good and cheap too

I’m not a fan. Their burritos usually disappoint – mainly because I like hashbrowns in my burritos, not homefries. Their chile is pretty runny and not very spicy or flavorful. I’ll go to Frontier, Golden Pride, Salsita Express, or even Taco Cabana over Twisters.

We live in Seattle so we rarely get good Mexican food so we thought to seek it out in Albuquerque. This place was recommended to us by a flight attendant when we asked for a place to eat close to the airport during a 3 hour layover. We got a cab and trekked out here.
I got a half order of chicken nachos. They were yummy. My husband ordered one of the burritos and he liked it as well. The coke machine was pretty neat — I’d definitely check it out if I were you.

Smothered breakfast burrito for the win! I’ve ordered a lot of different items and have never been disappointed. Very fast and friendly. Can’t go wrong here.

How can this place be known for Breakfast Burritos? Ordered the basic thing with egg, potatoes, cheese and green chile. The eggs were undercooked and soft and the cubes of potatoes were frozen quality. I had to abandon ship halfway through the thing and move all the eggs to the garbage (this was to-​go order), then I managed to identify eight, yes eight pieces of potatoes and wrapped those up and yea you get the picture — another waste of money. hardly any green chili appeared inside also. Frount counter lady was nice, but this chain needs to go back to the drawing board and fast.

The place was pretty clean and the two ladies working were super nice and always checking up on you to make sure you had everything you needed. Their green chile cheese fries are awesome, as well as their breakfast burritos. It did seem like it took a bit TOO long to get our food. But once we got it, we were pretty satisfied. I had the burrito duo special for wednesday which was excellente.

I have never eaten here and I am from out of town for the week. Let me tell you… this place is amazing!!! The breakfast burritos are phenomenal. Not only that but they open at 5:30am!!!
The next time I am in town I will be sure to make a stop here and will certainly recommend this place to all my friends

Ask any real New Mexican which place has the best breakfast burritos, and they will answer you promptly and without hesitation. Their answers vary, to be sure, but typically they are delivered either with undeserved pride (as though they make the burritos themselves based on a secret family recipe) or with a slightly confused matter-​of-​fact tone as if you have just asked what color the sky is. I had always thought this a strange phenomenon. At least, that is, until I had a Three Meat Biggie from Twister’s. Now I understand what it means to have my own favorite, to be haunted by phantom hungers for its eggy goodness, to fiercely defend it against naysayers, and to look upon the uninitiated with disbelief and a tinge of pity. This is the best breakfast burrito in the city that invented the breakfast burrito, that loves its breakfast burrito with a passion bordering on obsession.
So what makes it so good? It’s hard to say really. This isn’t gourmet food, folks, it’s greasy, high in salt and fat, and likely exceptionally low in nutritional value. But the flavor makes you forget about all that. The delicious sausage, bacon, ham, eggs, cheese, potato, and, as required by New Mexico state law, green chile, all smothered in more chile and cheese, converge into a perfect harmony for the palate. It’s so good I have almost no inclination to try anything else from the menu. I’m sure everything is good, but that’s just one more meal where I’m not eating a breakfast burrito. I have had the chile cheese fries, and they were very good, but for me that’s not really a reason to go. For the price, I doubt you can beat the quality of food in general, and you would be hard-​pressed to find a breakfast burrito that is better. But if you do, let me know.
*EDIT* I am now adamantly anti-​smother. Why? Well, as I have recently discovered, it seems that ordering your burrito smothered does not simply mean that they top it with cheese and chile. Rather, it seems that they don’t put chile and cheese inside the burrito at all and just top the thing with them. This results in more of the other fillings in the burrito and a bit more chile overall, but far less cheese. It kind of throws off the entire balance of flavors, if you ask me, and makes the burrito much more difficult to eat. Without cheese adhering all the filling together, stuff just tumbles out of the tortilla constantly and has to be clumsily forked up with their pathetic plastic flatware. So let your burrito breathe!

Since moving here all my local homegrown peeps keep raving about this place.
Fine!
Shut up already muthafuckahs I’m going, I’m going.
I grabbed a couple of things from the Eubank location.
Wha? Really? Srsly?
After all that build up I was completely disappointed.
I mean they didn’t tell me that the food there work miracles on my cellulite or pay my rent but I was hoping to be somewhat dazzled.
I mean c’mon those bitches made their grub sound like candy coated crack cocaine.
Meh, is all I can say.
Bland boring blah…
I ordered a ½ chicken burrito w/​green chili and the green chili cheeze fries.
I have to say I wasn’t expecting the fries smothering the top of my burrito (otherwise I wouldn’t have ordered the chili cheez fries).
I wondered why the girl behind the counter looked at me as if to say, «Wus up Fatty Boom Batty, your boyfriend break up with you or something»?
The fries were by my standards under cooked and not nearly «crsipy» enough.
Maybe that’s how y’all do ‘em here idk.
There wasn’t nearly enough green chili and very little cheese.
Sorry kids not impressed.
I was however, impressed with the service and friendliness of the staff.
They were super-​duper nice. I also noticed that instead of paperplates they deliver your food to your table on a real, honest to gawd, reusable/​washable, dish (even though this place is totally a fast food joint).
Hrm, speaking of joints maybe the food is better when you’re stoned…
I’ll probably give it one more go and try a breakfast burrito but I ain’t holding my breath.
Unless of course someone passes me a doob before coming here again.

So two weeks ago I had several moments of weakness and two of them ended with me at Twister’s for lunch. Both times I got the Twister’s burrito ¹⁄₈ with chicken and red chile. It’s a tiny little burrito with a massive amount of crispy, curly fries smothered in red chile and cheese. Sound disgusting? Yes, I know, I thought so too at first but just give in and try it. It’s disgustingly good.
I also used to go here every Friday morning for breakfast burritos. There were times when they absolutely got 5 stars… melty cheese, hot green chile, crispy potatoes and other times they were just meh. The inconsistency made me a sad panda.
Overall it’s decent New Mexico fast food.
