Walter White is everywhere in Albuquerque. Spoilers if you haven't seen Breaking Bad or
Better Call Saul and you want to we're going to talk about the episodes a little bit so just fair
warning. I might spoil a few things our first stop here in Albuquerque is java joe's it's a
coffee shop, but it's also tuco's headquarters and in breaking bad this is the first spot where
walter says he's heisenberg this is uh they also blow tuco's headquarters up so luckily the coffee
shop is still there and Madalyn's gonna get some coffee so a great place to start your day
because you can get your day started and you get a filming location so boom.
i got my americano from java joe's it's very good i'm i'm ready to
to coffee is your breaking bad drug huh yes coffee is my breaking bad drug that was what i was trying
to say this is very good espresso i'm supporting a local small business that's always good yeah you
should come here and get some coffee it's a cool it's a really cool coffee shop too it's really
cute inside so the place we're pulling into right now is dog house they eat there a couple times in
breaking bad jesse eats there yeah and also in better call saul it's got a cool sign it looks
like my kind of place yeah madeline does love hot dogs so but we have another plan for lunch
so we're not gonna eat here today but if you're hungry for a hot dog you want to eat where the
breaking bad crew ate go to the doghouse so the next spot we're heading is jesse pinkman's house
so one thing we're gonna do today is be really respectful of the houses because people live there
now it's not the pinkman residence which is where his parents live
so jesse lives in a pretty nice neighborhood good for him
uh the next spot we're gonna head to is actually a better call saw filming location and that's
um chuck's house so if you remember in better call saul and by the way spoiler alert so chuck
uh is kind of a weirdo and he um is really freaked out by electronics and so you when
you go into chuck's house you have to uh put all your electronics in like a box right yeah and
then like you wear foil he wears tin and then uh chuck burns the house down and that's how he dies
so the next stop we're heading to is the candy lady they actually have a tie
to the show which is they made the prop for the show which is the blue
crystal meth we're walking right now in old town albuquerque it's really cute it's uh
albuquerque yeah albuquerque has some old um ties to route 66. it it's kind of cool
like all the signs for the different diners and buildings are pretty cool they kind of got
a blend between route 66 architecture and kind of old time southwest architecture we're really
enjoying the city so far so we're heading over to the candy lady we're gonna get some blue candy
so successful trip into the candy lady my little bag um the candy lady was in there she's quite a
character and we had a great time talking to her and so uh we bought some other candy yeah it's
just so nice so friendly we're gonna keep rolling on on this breaking bad filming location tour
we're heading downtown and this is actually gonna be another better call saul
location it's mike's parking booth so i believe the first time you see mike in better call
saul he's working in a parking booth and saul doesn't really talk to him i think saw like um
doesn't have money to get out or and like has to go back and pay him running the parking for
the courthouse yeah uh yeah i think they have they have like a little you know banter exchange
yeah so we're gonna go to that parking booth right now and uh maybe check out a
couple other downtown locations um especially i think the courthouse we see saul in quite a bit
we found mike's parking booth it's not far from the bur burn what is it bernaillo
it's not far from the county courthouse burning bernaillo
uh it's actually really cool in courthouse we're gonna get park and get out and kind of look at it
this is the courthouse in better call saul
all right here we are at the courthouse here in albuquerque it's a nice courthouse i just
wouldn't you know i wouldn't want to end up here for anything but uh yeah this is this is where
saul works his magic i feel like especially in the first season we see him here a lot
uh defending the people nobody really wants to defend
we just checked out the courthouse um really nice building and now we're gonna head over to a spot
not too far from the courthouse and we read online that brian cranston like this brewery it's called
marble brewery so we're gonna stop and have a beer okay this is a the double white it's a belgian
wheat ale i'm i'm not the walter i'm gonna assume it's a nod to walt i i don't know but uh cheers
it's very good it's very good
what a cool logo yeah i love the logo looks great it's a wall
just finished up having a tasty craft beer marble brewery and we're going
to head to albuquerque rail yards so they did film a scene here with jesse and mike
one of the things that's interesting about this spot is that it has green stain
green stained glass and that green stained glass was the inspiration for the breaking bad logo
so we're leaving the rail yards i think there's a business using one of the buildings but i think
the other buildings are abandoned so you can't go in them nor would you want to our next spot
that we're heading to is one that you're definitely going to recognize from the show
i don't want to build it up anymore my chicken
behind me here is twisters which is more famously known as los pollos hermanos gus springs
uh chicken joint they're actually serving chicken now they do actually serve chicken here which is
pretty cool we don't really have time to stop and go in because we've got some other spots
for our bellies we also don't have any room in our bellies to eat but we just wanted to stop
pop stop by see it and take it out take it all in this is pretty cool so we're leaving twisters aka
los pollos hermanos and we're gonna be heading to a couple smaller spots probably just do some
drive-bys um and then we're gonna get to our grand finale iconic filming locations that
we've kind of been saving for the end so we've really enjoyed this uh breaking bad filming tour
so far it's really showed us a lot of albuquerque too yeah you get to see the city it's kind of like
a combination of an albuquerque breaking bad tour because you get to experience the city and the
people in albuquerque that we have encountered have been so friendly and you'd think they'd be
sick of it but the opposite they're just really proud that the show is here and they're happy to
have you come in and support their business and uh we're happy to do it because we're having a
good time so the first place we're gonna drive by is the gertrude zachary jewelry store and that is
where marie who is hank's wife shoplifts a tiara tiara i haven't bought a lot of tiaras in my life
uh shoplifts a tiara for their baby we're heading to northeast heights neighborhood of albuquerque
and this is where we get some of those really iconic breaking bad filming locations
we're going to visit the first spot which is the mr car wash it was also called octopus car wash
but if you remember in breaking bad walt bought a car wash to launder like 80 million dollars i
don't know how profitable car washes are but i don't think they make 80 million dollars so
we're gonna go check it out we're actually going to get a car wash too because
we're driving through some uh dusty dusty areas before we got to albuquerque
we are about to go through what is now the mr car wash we used to have a different front on
it which is closer to what you see in the show i think it was an independent car wash that got
bought out by a local chain of car washes so uh probably be about as exciting as going through a
normal car wash but we're doing it because the car needed clean so killing two birds with one stone
so we have a car wash we go to in chicago and multiple times since i've been in there
people say to me this looks like the breaking bad car wash but now we're actually here
is why you browsing the content yeah breaking night car wash is an experience
so that's where they stood yeah they like that's the interior yeah
that was it that was the breaking bad car wash we're gonna go to our next spot
our next spot is probably the most iconic breaking bad spot and that is walt's house i kind of want a
piece of pizza but again as we said earlier if you're going to come do this the houses people
live in them so we're just going to do a drive-by and don't throw a pizza on the roof like that's
do people do that yeah people have done that no yeah they have oh don't do that
so that was walter white's house again that's a private residence we just wanted to drive by
get a look at it they've got a full gate around it uh definitely have security around it but
now we're heading to our next location which i'm very excited about because probably my favorite
character in breaking bad is saul goodman slip and jimmy so the next spot is saul's office and
it also reprises its role in better call saul so it's in both breaking bad and in better call saul
the thing about it is there's not actually an office back there they put up the big liberty
statue above the building and then they have some signage there that they put in the windows
obviously they take that down when they're not filming so we're driving up to hank's house and
if you remember in the show hank was kind of the hot shot dea agent they had the nice house
up on the hill and walter you know was a really smart science teacher and he kind of
always missed his shot i always loved the way they shot hank's house i think it's up on a cul-de-sac
i don't think there was anything behind it i think it backed up to the mountain i never really know
how these are going to turn out because you don't know how close you get to the building
or what you can do but we have hank's house and one more stop
leaving hank's house really cool setting you can see
downtown albuquerque it sits up higher on a hill now we're heading over to gus's meth lab
are ending our day here at gus's laundry where gus spring had the lab built
the mega lab built underground where jesse and walt worked tirelessly to manufacture
their blue rock candy we're gonna end here we've had a great day in albuquerque i think one of the
things that you can do because you can do a rv tour where we saw a big winnebago tour come by
so they do have like those rv tours build your own tour so let us know in the comments below if
you've been here and if if you've uh done your own breaking bad tour or if
you're planning on coming to doing missed any cool spots we'll catch you on the next one
