If you know where Hot Tamales is, go behind it and hit Upscale Rio! First of all, this place has so many options of what I'd call comfort food and everything is good! They have shakes, desserts, yummy starters, mac and cheese, burgers and much more! What's my favorite thing? So many items are gluten free!! Hallelujah!! Even the burgers can be ordered with a gluten free bun! We also had a super sweet waitress! I had to go gluten free last fall and it really cut down on us eating out as most places have little to no options. Here, MOST things are gluten free!! Like what you may ask? Well, today I had chicken fried chicken, green chile gravy, mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables- a medley of corn, Lima beans ,bell peppers and red onions. They use a gluten free rice flour and the batter on the chicken was crispy and delicious!! They are also super generous with their portions so I took half of my food home and can't wait for dinner! I also had a double chocolate shake and a cold brew. They proudly brew Whispering Bean Coffee which is super tasty! My husband had the Green Chile Chicken Pot Pie and really enjoyed it and ate every bite! My mother in law had the Basic Cheddar Burger with fresh cut fries and raved about it. She also had a Key Lime Pie Shake. No photo of this, sorry! They normally have a gluten free fruit cobbler but they were out. I'll be back to try that for sure! All I know is I found a place that has super tasty gluten free options that I can't find anywhere else. I love you Upscale Rio! I'll be sharing this with all my gluten free friends! See you soon!! XOXO

Excellent service. Good food. Ok atmosphere…read more After checking the menu here I came for lunch. I don't eat beef so I was pretty disappointed that the pulled pork want on the menu today. Today's menu was MUCH thinner than the menu photos posted. I had fish & chips and it was ok. Maybe not as good as I expect from Lilly & Liam's but close. To be fair, while Lilly & Liam's is excellent, I often have trouble finding something to eat on their menu. And I have a similar challenge at Upscale Rio. I often have that challenge in New Mexico, though.

First on service - I ordered carry out, and the woman who took my order over the phone was extremely kind.

Food - holy cow it was great! I had the sixty six burger with the hatch chilis, and it was a phenomenal burger. Highly recommend upgrading to the truffle fries, worth the extra two bucks!! If I lived here I know I would be a regular and ensure I tried out the entire menu!

We went in on a Friday evening right at 5 to avoid any dinner rush. We were seated immediately and…read morebrought water right away. We planned to split some small app's and one entree. We went with the Korean Chicken bites, the Margarita Flatbread, & the green chilli cheeseburger. The Chicken bites were terrible. Taste wasn't great at all, they were very very fried, but not in a good way. I love some good crunchy fried chicken but these just were not it! The flavor, the texture, none of it was right. The Margarita Flatbread was med. Taste was pretty good, but it was soggy and didn't hold up well at all. That said it was the best of the 3 things we did get. Unfortunately, that's not saying much..... The burger was okay also. Not bad by any means, but nothing special at all either....considering there's a burger place next door I thought the burger would be able to compete with the neighbor, but trust me if you want a burger, go next door! They don't put sauce on it at all, no nothing. Just straight up patty, cheese and bun. Only my 6 year old cousin eats like that.....I did add some mayo and ketchup, which helped, but still not a great burger.... The bun didn't add much for us either, even though it was baked in house with green chilli....A simple brioche would be better imo... The fries with the burger were actually the best single item of the experience. Their fries are really good! So good that I was going to eat every single one of them but instead my waiter just came and took my plate before I had finished the last 10 or so. No are you finished yet, or anything, just grabbed it, turned and left. I was so shocked I didn't even have time to say I'm not done with that. He left the crummy chicken bites we weren't eating though..... LOL Seriously don't touch my plate unless it's empty, or you ask first! Since it was a small amount I let it slide and didn't reduce his tip because the rest of the service was actually pretty good overall..... I definitely 100% will not be back here though, there's much better food in the area.

Have we got a surprise for you today? Turns out that they snuck in a new restaurant in our little…read morevillage of Corrales. It's actually been open for a few months, but it is not obvious. No Competition occupies the kitchen spaces at the newly renovated Sandia Bar. To our embarrassment and amazement, we stumbled across it - look for signs to the Sandia Bar at the corner of W. Ella and Corrales Road. Are we glad we did. Order and pick up at the outdoor counter adjacent to the parking lot. No seating in the actual restaurant, but you are more than welcome to go into the Sanda Bar or use one of their numerous outdoor tables. The friendly staff at the bar are used to this arrangement. While you are there, have a drink in the Sandia Bar and look at what they have done to make what was once the local "biker bar" hangout into an upscale drinking emporium. And best of all, this is our new "best in New Mexico" burger joint. Simply the best. We also tried out the Mahi Mahi fish tacos and fish and chips. Highly recommended and best of all, its in our backyard. Check out our YouTube video report. https://youtu.be/2Z0Xkdf05rw?si=1t5zHP29uwkPia_H

We sat in the bar area. It is cozy and quaint with nice abstract artwork on the wall. It's a rustic and contemporary style. Beyond Charming. The staff was very nice. We decided on a flight of wine. The price point was great at only $25. I was excited because two of the whites i wanted was on the flight. She brought out a tower of glasses with our wines. 2 of the wines i wanted were not in the flight. The restaurant was either out of the wine or they no longer carry that wine. I really wish the menu and server would be updated on the wine. I had high expectations on the wine flight. I Wouid have chose a cocktail instead of wine flight. It's a great place and we hear the food is wonderful. We will definitely go back. I will make sure the wine listed on the flight is what you are receiving.

It was extremely busy and loud. I didn't wait in line to order, but it took them 50 minutes to prepare our salads. The service wasn't very friendly or helpful at first. I'm hoping it was because they were so busy. We had to leave 10 minutes after getting our salads so I had to take most of it home which was disappointing. On a good note, the salads were amazing. They were the best salads I've ever tasted which I why I'm giving three stars instead of less. My mom ordered the 505 Cobb and they forgot her chicken which was frustrating after waiting for nearly an hour. However, they did make up for it by making her extra chicken! And their chicken was absolutely delicious!! I ordered Persephone's Lunch which was outstanding. I added chicken to it which made it nearly $20 for a bowl salad. The seating is open and you order and sit down wherever you can find. The seating is hard on your backside and uncomfortable, especially when waiting for so long. The salads and fresh ingredients are delectable. If I ever return, it will be a to go order that is put in very early. Cheers!

We immediately reported it to the manager, who moved us to another area. Unfortunately, the service following that was extremely poor. The staff seemed rushed and dismissive, and one even announced that our card had declined -- loudly -- when our bank confirmed the charge was never attempted. Overall, it was an unpleasant experience and the worst service I've ever received at a restaurant. Update: the owner reached out and provided some in sight. They are working on this issue with a couple pest controls. The owner was very polite and showed concern with the way we were treated after reporting this. He states there will be a full refund for our meals unfortunately this should have been something the manager offered at the time this happened not just an after thought. This is a family owned restaurant so I understand the post can be hurtful to business. I will post another edit if we ever go back there.
