How we did it! Step #1: We created a great-tasting beer. Step #2: We set a unique menu to compliment my family’s New Mexican experience with Soul. So we created New Mexican Soul food.
We Are more than Your Average Brewery
Pair Our Award Winning Beer With Our Delicious New Mexican Soul Food!
Our goal is perfection and we hit it every time!
Nexus satisfies every craving with the best beer, the best bites and that unbelievable fusion of New Mexican Soul food. Our goal is perfection and we hit it every time, whether you are drinking the brews we craft right here in house or enjoying our New Mexican Hot Chicken. We intentionally added New Mexico Hot Red Chile to our spice recipe along with cayenne but we removed the the sugar found in Nashville Chicken to come up with a spice blend designed for New Mexican palates. Our Hot Chicken can not be found anywhere but at Nexus. We claim the title of best restaurant and brewery in Albuquerque because we’ve earned it.

What is New Mexican Soul Food?
It’s the fusion of spicy New Mexican cuisine and traditional soul food to create one unbelievable flavor experience only available at our two locations in Albuquerque. We take our time to cook our Gumbo and Red Beans & Rice then top them off with fresh pico de gallo and cajun spices to bring on the heat. When you take two of the world’s most flavorful cuisines and combine them, you get something truly special.
