El Pinto Restaurant

Incredible! Great food. I'm not a big Mexican food person but they changed my mind. Green chili soup was the best soup I have ever eaten. Try their combo plate. Pinto beans, tamale, burrito and something I don't remember the name. But it was wonderful. Service and cocktails were outstanding. Great ambiance. Definitely our go to place in Albuquerque.

Celebrated my youngest son's 26th birthday here with our whole family. Sat outdoors on a patio with gorgeous weather. Highly recommend the Red Chile Ribs as an appetizer or meal. Also a hint that the mild version of most things is more like the medium you would find at national restaurants. They can tone it down or up if you wish. Great gluten free menu if you need one and lots of great drink options. Our waitress, Dayna, was very pleasant and kept us stocked up on everything we ordered. Great place for a celebration!

Atmosphere is terrific! Service was terrific! They got our order right, they were kind, friendly & very professional. I especially loved that I could reserve a table online. It's one of the few restaurants in Albuquerque that offers that capability and I seriously wish more did, because other restaurants said they had a 5 hr wait🙄 Seriously?? Take reservations people! Thank God El Pinto makes it so fast & easy. We had the best time & thoroughly enjoyed our dinner there. Highly recommend!
