Twisters

Broke Bad at this restaurant and sat where Heisenberg sat! Chicken sandwich with green chile was surprisingly good for a fast food joint.

Came here due to the breaking bad notoriety. It wasn’t busy for a Saturday and everyone there also seemed to be tourists by the pics and out of state license plates. It was cool to see. The staff was friendly. I got the ¼ burrito and it was gigantic. I only ate half. I can’t believe there are two bigger sized options! The green chili sauce was good. The burrito was whatever, if it didn’t have the chili and fires I wouldn’t have eaten it. Food is decent, but worth the stop and the snack to experience Los pollos Hermanos.

First time eating here, definitely not going to be the last. Had the carne adovada twisters burrito with green sauce, absolutely phenomenal!!! Right amount of heat and the taste is indescribable. Love it!!!

Came here because we are HUGE fans of breaking bad. Will be back because of the amazing food! The burrito was delicious! Who knew fries with a burrito would be as great as it was. The churros were just as amazing and FRESH!
I wish that they sold pollos hermanos collector glasses — would definitley pay extra for them

The burger and fries were so good! We came here as Breaking Bad fans and we were very pleased they let us take pictures and goof around. I love that they kept the sign up! Really made our day!

Like many, I went to Twisters because it was portrayed as Los Pollos Hermanos on Breaking Bad. I was really happy with my experience here. The restaurant embraces its legacy and is tourist-​friendly with tons of BB logos and items throughout the store. I was able to get many pictures. The food was also really good and inexpensive — Gus would be happy to know that it was to my satisfaction. This place is a must-​visit if you are a fan of the show.

I’m not going to lie… I didn’t come here for the food! I did order something (strawberry churro) but the main reason we came was because of Breaking Bad fame. Los Pollos Hermanos… Gus’s joint! I ate my churro (it was alright. little crunchy/​old), we took a couple of pictures and were out. Pretty cool stuff being able to sit in the same booth that Walter White once did!

Yes I’m a rabid BB fan, but yes this place is great fast food Mex. The people are very nice, the ¹⁄₈ burrito was a MASSIVE bowl full of goodness (think Rochester NY garbage plate with a SW accent, omg…). The salsa my companion had with her tacos was so good that we both drank it out of the cup. Seriously, whatever your opinion of Gus Fring is, go to this place. Then go across the street and have an aqua fresca. I guarantee that the food will be to your satisfaction.

Yikes, so this place gets 3 stars for being the infamous setting of Los Pollos Hermanos in the Breaking Bad series. To pay homage I went in an order some food. I had the chili cheese burger and chicken nuggets. Ah… I’m not sure what I ate but it didn’t taste anything like what I ordered. The food is poor but the people are super nice!

The first time I came here, I came solely to take pictures of the restaurant due to its appearance in Breaking Bad and left. I didn’t think I would ever come back but we were in town and my friends, also Breaking Bad fans, wanted to check it out and since it was sort of close to the airport and we had to get a quick meal in, we decided to try the place out anyways.
I didn’t realize that this place didn’t sell fried chicken. I figured it being Los Pollos Hermanos in the show that it would sell some, but I guess fast Mexican food is okay. I didn’t go in with high expectations just because both times I went, we were basically the only patrons there. I ordered the South Valley breakfast burrito since it was recommended. Pricing is pretty cheap, what you would expect with any fast food restaurant, but portions are HUGE! Their burritos are definitely larger than what you would expect, and overall, looking at all of my friend’s dishes, it’s best that you share a plate (unless you’re really hungry). I did enjoy my breakfast burrito. Simple but satisfying.
Because it is a fast food joint, you shouldn’t expect top notch Mexican food. Service is also very, very slow. For us being one of 2 parties in the restaurant, food took maybe 10 – 15 minutes to come out which is somewhat disappointing for a fast food restaurant.

I visited her last spring while in town to check out the Breaking Bad sites. How can you not visit Los Pollos Hermanos?! We figured since it was also a real fas food joint, we might as well try it. It’s not friend chicken, but there Mexican food was pretty tasty! I had the burrito and it was flavorful and a decent size. I think I prefer it to Chipotle and other Mexican chains we have on the east coast. I also love the fact that they had green chile, which you don’t find a lot on the east coast.
And for those Breaking Bad fans — they left up a Los Pollos Hermanos sign and have posters all over, and they don’t mind if you take pictures everywhere.

Los Pollos Hermanos and they don’t serve fried chicken or rotisserie chicken?!?
Oh wait that’s right this is Twisters, basically they serve Mexican food, and it was delicious!
Note: I think this place will do so well if they put some fried or rotisserie chicken on the menu.

Came here on a road trip from San Francisco and made sure to eat here as well. My buddy and I tipped them pretty well and chatted the employee’s up about BrBa for awhile, they gladly snapped a pic of us with the Pollos Hermanos sign and were very friendly. THE FOOD… was also great! Had a chirizo burrito and it was great, sauce was good and everything was cooked perfectly. Would eat here again any day.

This place really embraces being a Breaking Bad attraction. Apparently their profits increased significantly ever since the show came out. They have posters around the place and the Los Pollos Hermanos logo is still on their wall.
I got their twister burrito. They come in multiple sizes, but be warned that even the ¼ size is fairly large. If you’re not that hungry, go with the ¹⁄₈. You pick your meat and then choose which sauce you want — red or green. The burrito itself is just filled with the meat and beans — everything else is actually put on top of it with the fries and sauce, which was kinda interesting, though I think it would have been better if the lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese were inside the burrito.
It was really apparent that I was a Breaking Bad fan when I walked in because I had a giant camera. When I ordered, the cashier asked me if I would like to sit where Walter White sat, and she brought my order number to that table while I got my fountain drink. They also asked if I wanted someone to take my picture standing next to the logo.
Three stars for the food itself, but an extra point for being appreciative of Breaking Bad tourists.

Like most, I suspect, we drove to this location because it was used as Los Pollos Hermanos in the Breaking Bad series. Aside from the Twisters signage it looks just like it did in the show. They have BB signs inside and kept the Los Pollos painting on the wall too. You can sit in the booth that Walt sat in or the booth that the cartel twins sat in. The staff is more than happy to let you know which booth is which. Ok, so onto the food itself…
The parking lot was so empty we thought maybe they were closed. When we first walked in the place smelled AWFUL. Like something rotting or like a toilet had overflowed. It was disgusting. We used the bathrooms and found them less than desirable but not too offensive. The whole place looked and felt grimy. It needs to close for a week and get a head to tail scrub down and refurbish. Even a simple coat of paint would go a long way. So, we decided to order some food (yeah, I know, can you believe it?). You can see through to the kitchen and we’d come all this way…
Anyway, after a brief wait our chicken wrap came out accompanied by stale chips. The chips we did not eat but after tentatively tasting the warp, well, it was actually pretty darn good! Shocker, yes, the fried chicken bites were hot and tasty and overall it had a nice flavor. I’m not sure the source of the smell but it was so off putting I can see why no one was there. I doubt we’ll ever go back but I’m glad we came if nothing else for the picture opportunities. And we didn’t get sick from the food, lol.

I came here with the Breaking Bad RV Tour, this was rebranded as Los Pollos Hermanos in later seasons of the show. Even though the tour is fairly new, I imagine that Twisters will start to get lots of traffic from fans of the show. That makes it all the more important that this place get their act together.
The hallway to the bathroom reminded me of the Green Mile: a long walk where I knew that death and destruction lay waiting for me at the end. Seriously, the hallway was absolutely foul. The bathroom was almost as bad. They have a sign over the urinal saying you’d have to hold the flusher for 30 seconds to flush the toilet properly. Are you kidding me? Shut down the bathroom and fix the damn problem. Then, they’re out of soap. It reminded me of a bathroom at 3am at an abandoned gas station halfway between here and the middle of nowhere. I wanted to go back into the RV, grab Jesse’s hazmat suit and wear that back into the bathroom so I could do my business. Knowing that wasn’t going to be an option, I held my breath as long as I could, peed, and ran out of the bathroom lightheaded from not breathing.
The floors were dirty too. But after visiting the literal sh! thole that is their bathroom, who would even care?
If this place didn’t have such an awful bathroom, I’d consider giving it an extra star. Unfortunately, even the food was substandard. I ordered the chili cheese fries (before the bathroom debacle; if I’d gone to the bathroom first, I’d have run out of the restaurant as fast as my legs could carry me), which were all right at best.
Even if I come on the tour a second time, I’ll never set foot in this place again. This makes Taco Bell look like gourmet Mexican cuisine.

Our first stop upon arriving in ABQ was Twisters, which is known on Breaking Bad as Los Pollos Hermanos. We ordered a «Christmas» Indian Taco (it was decent) and some drinks, we signed the guest book and took obligatory photos.

So I actually put the following as a «Tip» but it should have actually been a review, but it could be both. As I could care less about the Breaking Bad aspect of a restaurant this review was just from my observations & my star rating is being extremely generous.
$ 2.50 for a large drink? Wow! It’s no wonder the parking lot was empty in the middle of the day. The place also has a weird odor that I couldn’t quite place. I think that it was something between grease & heavy duty pest control chemicals. All I got was a drink and that’s all I believe that I want from this place although I’m probably taking a chance with that. I’ve lived in Albuquerque for 16 years & this was the first time I’d ever been in Twisters & I’m certain that it’ll be my last.
Oh yeah, I worked on Breaking Bad & there are much better places closer to downtown to grab a bite to eat.

I can’t comment on the food (though, our medium beverage of iced tea was absolutely refreshing), so this is really an ode to Twisters –aka– Los Pollos Hermanos as seen on Breaking Bad!
What’s a trip to ABQ for the annual Balloon Fiesta, without a quick stop at this iconic location?! We had a rental car and therefore zero excuse not to drop in to see where Heisenberg conducted his «pollo» business with Gus Fring. We spent no more than ten minutes here really, but it was worth the scenic drive from downtown Albuquerque to Isleta Blvd. There were other Breaking Bad fans who made the trek here for a photo-​op with the Hermanos wall decal, and to sign the unofficial Twisters BB guestbook. Wait! Scratch that! It IS legitimately official because, scribbled atop the upper lefthand corner of this ½″ black binder, is AARON PAUL’S signature (
). Ah, yes, that brought me one step closer to Jesse and it was utterly worth it. Yeah, b*tch!!!
I will say the service is great! Not only did one of the cashiers compliment me on my oxford flats, but another guy actually took the photos for us in front of the Los Pollos Hermanos wall decal. They were really super friendly. I was told by one of the locals earlier in the day as we inquired about the «Breaking Bad chicken place», that the portions are enormous, and I did see a bunch of people eating voraciously, so this Twisters must be the bombs for its greasy fast food as much as it is for its historic Breaking Bad relevance!

I was driving through Albuquerque, New Mexico and had to come to THE «Pollos Hermanos» restaurant that appears in Breaking Bad. After some online research and confirmation from fellow New Mexican Unilocalers I confirmed that this location was in fact the one. I don’t know their hours but they were opened at 9 am and their breakfast and lunch menu are extensive.
I ordered the two egg breakfast and my brother ordered the Indian Taco. The Indian Taco looked delicious and my brother said it was delicious, but he didn’t share. It was the manager’s recommendation and it seemed not to disappoint the bro.
If you’re a coffee freak DO NOT get the coffee here, it’s kind of bad.
The manager figured out I was a fan of the show when I asked if I could have a cup without actually having ordered a drink. He let me «have» one if I just payed for the refill price of a drink. After asking him some Breaking Bad questions he was polite enough to ask me what season I was so as not to ruin the plot for me. I mean what a nice guy! So thoughtful and a fan of the show!
He had us sign a «Breaking Bad» guest book and we noticed there were people from as far away as Europe who made the pilgrimage to Los Pollos Hermanos. Just as we were finishing up our meal 4 Belgian 20-​somethings strolled in to take pictures of the Hermanos logo.
If you’re a fan of the show and find yourself in Albuquerque you HAVE to come and dine here!
