Breaking Bad Locations, Albuquerque, New Mexico

I am a huge fan of the show Breaking Bad, and while visiting Albuquerque, I had the chance to run around and visit a number of the filming sites.

It was un to kick around the city, either way, but it was a great getting to see these places in person.

I want to start off by first giving credit to an individual and to his website for not only providing all of the location addresses, but also giving me the motivation to start this website. The website is Roaming Robert, and he did all of the work for this tour a handful of years ago, I just needed to follow his lead.

I will also write about the place that I stayed and that will be in the “Recent Trips” section, but for now, lets get to the fun part!

Addresses will be included for each place.

The first place that I went to was Walter White’s house (of course). I read about it, but you will see that they have a fence around the property, signs to Keep Out and there was what looked like a security vehicle parked in the driveway.

3828 Piermont Dr. Albuquerque, NM 87111

My understanding is that they not only get a lot of visitors, but many folks that were coming onto the property and in some cases causing damage.

The nest stop was Saul Goodman’s office. It’s a little strip mall and where his office was is now a bar and restaurant, but I did notice that there is a nail salon in the strip mall also (nice coincidence?)

It would have been nice if it was still a law office with and inflatable on the roof, but it was cool, nonetheless.

What would this tour be, without a stop at the car wash that Walt worked at and that ended up being their place to launder the money. It’s a Mister Car Wash now, and they were busy!

9516 Snow Heights Cir. NE, Albuquerque, NM 87112 

On to Hank and Marie’s house, which is in a very cool neighborhood and perched at the base of the mountain, so I got a very nice view of the city on the way back down.

4901 Cumbre Del Sur Ct NE Albuquerque, NM 87111

Everyone remembers Tuco, right? Well, this is Tuco’s Headquarters and it is now a little cafe. It was a nice day when I was running around and there were people sitting outside, so that is why I took the picture from across the street. I tried not to interrupt their peace.

906 Park Ave SW, Albuquerque, NM 87102

I completely forgot about this place, but the Dog House is where Jesse used to meet with his buddies and where he would “sling,” back in the day. It was closed when I stopped by, but it looked like and interesting place.

1216 Central Ave SW, Albuquerque, NM 87121

The next stop was at a house that we all know and love. Jesse’s House. Plenty of memories at this property.

322 16th St SW, Albuquerque, NM 87104

This tour wouldn’t be complete without a stop at the infamous laundry facility and of course the location for The Lab.

1617 Candelaria Rd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87107

Los Pollos Hermanos is a real restaurant chain in the area, but the actual name is Twisters. When I did the initial search, Google Maps actually has it listed as Los Pollos Hermanos on the wide view.

4275 Isleta Boulevard Southwest, Albuquerque, NM 87105

The final stop of my day, was a drive out to the desert, to the first place that Walt and Jesse cooked, the place where Waly buried his money and the site of the shootout that took out Hank and Gomie.

This one does not have an address, because it’s out in the middle of nowhere, but here are the basic directions:

Take I-40 West to Canoncita School Rd North, then get off on Tribal Rd 7089 and be on the lookout for the unique rock formation as seen in the photos. (click on the picture and you will at least get to the point of Canoncita School Rd.)

Once you get there, keep driving until you get to Tribal Rd 7089, turn left and keep following that road until you see the rock formation on the left. I did not measure the distance that I drove, but keep your eyes open and you will get there!

Take I-40 West to Canoncita School Rd North, then get off on Tribal Rd 7089

I enjoyed myself so much while I was out there, that I am going to post some extra pictures, so you can enjoy it also.

Very peaceful and quiet.

I can’t even explain the beauty.

The drive out and back was about an hour and a half total, but it was worth every minute and every mile.

This was my first time to Albuquerque, and the first time that I have been to New Mexico and it didn’t disappoint.

I will highlight the place that I stayed in another post, but if you like what I have posted here, leave a comment and let me know.

Especially if you took the tour!
