where perfection meets flavor

At Nexus Blue Smokehouse, our mission is simple: to create the best BBQ experience in Albuquerque. Every dish we serve is crafted with passion and attention to detail, ensuring you enjoy bold, flavorful bites with every visit. Our brisket is a fan favorite—fall-apart tender with just the right amount of smoky richness. Paired with our freshly brewed beers, it’s an unforgettable combination that keeps guests coming back time and time again.

For those who crave a hearty, soul-satisfying meal, our family-style BBQ platters are perfect for sharing. With a variety of smoked meats and classic sides like tangy coleslaw and perfectly seasoned baked beans, these platters provide a true taste of our smokehouse. And don’t forget our pulled pork sandwiches—served with crispy, tangy sides that complement the smokiness of our meats and deliver that perfect BBQ experience.

Smoked meats with a new mexican twist

What sets Nexus apart from the rest is our dedication to blending the best of traditional BBQ with the bold flavors of New Mexican cuisine. Our smoked meats are seasoned to perfection, then slow-cooked to bring out the best flavors. The result? Tender brisket, juicy pulled pork, and flavorful burnt ends with that unmistakable smoky depth. But what makes our BBQ truly special is the infusion of New Mexican soul food. We bring in local ingredients and spices like green chile to give our dishes that signature Southwestern flair. Whether it’s a spicy kick in our BBQ sauces or a touch of heat in our sides, the flavors of New Mexico are always present at Nexus Blue Smokehouse.

Craft beer at its best

No BBQ experience is complete without the perfect beer to wash it down. At Nexus, we craft our own beers in-house, ensuring that each one pairs beautifully with our smoked meats. Our beers are brewed with the same dedication and passion we put into our food, resulting in a lineup of refreshing, flavorful brews that complement every dish. Whether you’re sipping on a crisp lager or enjoying a richer, maltier brew, you’ll find the perfect beer to enhance your BBQ experience. And if you’re feeling adventurous, ask our staff for a recommendation on which beer pairs best with your meal—we’re always happy to help you find the ideal match.
