    This Wendy’s on 528 in Rio Rancho is a masterclass in how to fail at a job specifically designed to be impossible to mess up. Fast food is not complex. The menu is fixed. The process is scripted. The bar is on the floor. And yet, every visit feels like an experiment in how many basic steps can be skipped, misunderstood, or outright ignored in one transaction. Orders are wrong with impressive consistency, simple requests are treated like abstract philosophy, and the overall operation moves with the urgency of a paused loading screen. No apology, no accountability—just blank stares and confusion where competence should be. This isn’t a one-off bad experience. It’s a pattern. A dependable, repeatable pattern of mediocrity so strong it almost feels intentional. Other Wendy’s manage to function. This one simply exists. If you’re craving disappointment served lukewarm with a side of indifference, you’ve found the right place. Everyone else should keep driving.

    I always have a great experience here. I pass about two other Wendy's to get to this one. They always have what is on the menu like baked potatoes! The others don't serve them. I always see seniors eating their chili and baked potatoes, its a shame the other Wendys never have them available. The workers here are always kind!

    The employees are nice, but the service is so incredibly slow, and pretty poor! Every time I go there, even when I order ahead online, they always have me pull out of the drive-thru line and wait for them to bring my order out- which takes another 5 to 10 minutes, and half of the time they forget part of my order, so then I have to go back through the drive-thru line, wait, etc. etc. This is the only location that is like this, and it’s a bummer!
