My coworker and I had t different things he got a smothered burrito and I got the brisket combo, both dishes were too much food for too grown men. Delicious and huge portions plus a really nice presentation. The wait was a bit long but that just means they are making everything before service. The only hard part was parking, it's a small lot so be prepared to walk a block or two during dinner rush. Trust me it's totally worth it!!!

Service: when you walk in you're greeted by the person at the small pony wall. They have signs for specials and menus. You should select a table and then decide what to eat before going to the window and ordering. They do not take your order at the table. Food: very tasty and fresh. Reminds me of Tex-mex food. The beans were delicious!! The sauce they use is hot sauce thickness it was fresh and delicious. The red sauce had a kick to it. Glad we stopped in and tried it out.

Los Altos Grill offered fast, friendly, no-nonsense service from the start. I ordered the Charlie's Backdoor, a green chile chicken enchilada topped with queso and sour cream, served with rice and beans, and it was absolutely delicious. I wasn't expecting such a rush of flavor, but this dish seriously impressed me. I'd really like to come back and try their breakfast, or maybe stop in for a cold beer after work. Too bad they close at 6:00 p.m. Better yet, maybe this is my sign to pick up golf as a new hobby... though I'll probably need to get some clubs first. 6/4/26 - Went back for breakfast this morning, and it totally lived up to my expectations.

They have a range of sandwiches, burgers, pancakes, huevos, green chile stew, and chicken fingers. Prices aren't bad. I probably didn't order the right thing (which was a brisket sandwich and fries for $10). It came with a lot of slices of brisket, but unfortunately the meat was very tough to cut even with a knife. Staff was friendly, but the grill itself is probably in need of some updates. 2026 #5

So glad we did, it was a great experience for a large group. There were 8 of us and no complaints, that is always a win!

All entrees had really nice pairings with pinto beans, potato hash, and freshly cooked sopapillas.

Directly across the street from University of New Mexico's main entrance, this place is packed when school is in session. This place is huge, but not at first glance. Walk into the retro-looking, Western themed dining room, and you'll see a huge menu board above the order counter. There is are several freestyle soda machines in the middle of the room. There are little digital screens in the corner where you watch for your order number and a counter in the corner where you go pick up your food. It's not until you go into the next room that you discover there is another "next room," and then another. There is a lot of art on the walls, including several John Wayne pictures. The girl at the counter who took our order was an absolute ray of sunshine--so friendly and sweet. We ordered the green chili cheeseburger with onion rings and the daily special which is the "green pile-up" (beans, hash browns, scrambled egg, and green chili beef). The good came our talented quickly, and was quite yummy. Frontier is an Albuquerque classic. If it old? Yes, but it has a huge faithful following, not including the things of UNM students that pack this giant diner during the school year. It may not be a "must try" for some, but if you want Albuquerque nostalgia, this is your place. Btw--it's pretty darn cheap,!
