Calling all jerky lovers! Craving a handful of delicious beef jerky that will not only satiate your tummy but will also satisfy any flavor craving you may have? You’ll want to plan a stop at Mike’s Jerky in Albuquerque, New Mexico. There’s nowhere better to find a wide variety of absolutely delicious jerky bursting with New Mexican flavor.

When it comes to New Mexican-style beef jerky, there are two things to keep in mind:

First, the jerky here is exceptionally thin and crispy, not tender and chewy like traditional beef jerky in other parts of the country.

Second, with all that chile, it can be hot as all get out!

This jerky store sells 25 different flavors that range from a basic salt jerky to a delightfully hot Christmas-style jerky that tastes like New Mexico.
Mike has been making jerky for years, but he started up the store in 2008 on a leap of faith.
