ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Since celebrating its grand opening in February, Green Jeans Farmery has been a big hit in Albuquerque. But some customers say that popularity is making parking there extremely difficult.

“It’s really great. It has a great atmosphere out here,” said customer Gabrielle Menezes.

“I come here every now and then. I think it’s kinda a cool place,” said customer Simon Cao.

It’s only been open a few months but already Green Jeans Farmery has become very popular.

“Every single time that I’ve been here it’s been pretty much packed like this,” said Cao.

Inside, that’s great news for all the restaurants and vendors, but outside it’s a different story.

Cao said, “The parking hasn’t been the greatest.”

“We had to drive around a couple times and then we just parked way down the street,” said Menezes.

Customers say finding a spot can be a hassle.

“It’s pretty miserable to park here. I mean, they’ve got this parking lot back there but it’s always completely full, so generally, we try to park on the street if we can,” said customer Ruben Guadiana.

The unique container community is nestled between I-40 and a hotel, on a small side street, Cutler Avenue. Green Jeans has a few parking spots behind the building and a small lot next to it. But when that’s full the overflow ends up on Cutler, typically on both sides of the road, making it hard to get through.

“You have to really watch when you’re going down the street here for other cars and people parallel parking,” said Menezes.

While typically you can find a spot within a couple blocks, customers say it’s still an inconvenience.

Chao said, “It’s either bad planning or it’s just that maybe they underestimated how great they were gonna be.”

But at this point, many customers say it hasn’t gotten bad enough to keep them away.

Guadiana said, “It’s certainly a pain but I don’t think it deters me from coming. But definitely, just plan on parking a ways out.”

KRQE News 13 spoke to the Green Jeans developer Saturday. He says while people have complained about the parking he doesn’t think it’s a big issue and he says there are no plans in the works to add more parking.
