Yes, I get the hype, and in my opinion, totally worth it!…read more I came here on a Sunday night and they were very busy. The place is huge so they have plenty of tables available. I stood on line to order for maybe 10 minutes or so. I had the Carne Adovada Burrito, one soft Beef Taco, and rice and beans. Everything was excellent and tasted delicious. The price was very reasonable. I wish we had a restaurant like this on Long Island.

Henrique is sweet and came around to all the tables to check on everyone. The food was good. My husband had the taco appetizer which consisted of 4 mini tacos which were all delicious. I had the mole which was good, however after being spoiled by a particular Santa Fe restaurant and their mole, I have high standards for mole. My other issue was I asked for a tortilla which didn't come until we were ready to go. I thought I was getting the soft ones my hubby had but instead got the blue corn ones which were very hard and not made to eat with mole. The veggies and rice were yummy. I have been with some girlfriends for lunch another time and my food was better at that visit. We will go back and try other items. The place was packed and had a beautiful mural on the far wall.

We had the guacamole and salsa, I recommend mixing them together, they pair surprisingly well. A little pricey at $9.60 for the plate. For entrees, we had the green chile chicken enchiladas and carne adovada Christmas style. The latter is one of the most distinct and delicious regional dishes I've had. All entrees had really nice pairings with pinto beans, potato hash, and freshly cooked sopapillas. We chose to have the sopapillas with honey as a dessert, but there's the option to stuff them with the entree.

***CASH ONLY*** ****HOLE IN THE WALL***…read more Who on Yelp doesn't love a good "cash only/hole in the wall" restaurant? Had high hopes for this place and was disappointed. Ordered the "Horchata"sweet rice drink. It had too much sugar and not enough cinnamon. Ordered tacos al pastor and they really could have used some pieces of pineapple in them. Tacos carne asada was the better option. However they only come with a single tortilla and easily fall apart. I realize we are in NEW MEXICO and they are big on their red and green chilies but HABANERO sauce would have been perfect. Speaking of SALSA, be sure to bring your SCISSORS when you come here!!! The salsa comes in these little "dime bags" and you have to bite off a corner with your teeth to get the salsa out! Order st the window, they give you a ticket with a number, and plan on WAITING 20 minutes for your food. Will keep searching for q better taco spot!

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! The food is delicious, definitely very New Mexican though, so make sure that is what you are wanting. There was a long wait time for a table, which is typical for a Friday night most places. The food came out fast and are good portions. Service was amazing: quick, correct, were on top of drink refills, to go boxes and bags, and great teamwork and energy from staff.

When they ask if you want green or red sauce on your enchiladas, don't fall for the green sauce is milder. Ask for the sauce on the side. I got green sauce on my pork enchiladas and had to get some guacamole to keep my tongue from burning up. The Carne Adovada is excellent. Very flavorful pork.

We stoped by on a whim and ended up having one of the top 3 steaks of my life. And when I say that, I am a STEAK EATER... This steak was *chefs kiss* And literally nothing else mattered. lol But the staff was amazing, the sides were ok. My partner wasn't fond of the lime flavor on the rice, and I agree it was overwhelming too. But.... That STEAK!! Be careful with the salt/pepper tower. It will spill if you're not. The mushrooms weren't bad, the tortillas were amazing! we ordered room service the next day because the food was so good. It didn't disappoint!

Ordered cold beer and cocktails after we were seated inside Lotsa flies.....we get it....pretty much an open-air restaurant this time of year They did set a spinner on our table which helped. Was decently cool inside too I have been wanting to try their Kizer beef and pork offerings so i threw down on a cheeseburger (hard to not order New Mexican food here) But that burger was perfect! Delicious I recommend and was plenty big Of course i dropped a big spoonful of green chile on it And the green chile strip appetizer was outstanding Summer at El Pinto. Enjoy!

I had the house special chili ribs and the ribs aren't flavorful. There is no distinctive taste to these ribs but chilied. But since the chili is tasteless themselves, it doesn't contribute to the overall flavor of the ribs anyway. 2/5 Stuff sopadillas with beef is very large and filling. For the lunch menu, the price is rather affordable for how much food I ordered. The tastes? I can't tell because it is comparable to any other restaurants. Nothing really stands out to me. 4/5 The regular sopadilla with honey as a side dish is amazing and you can't really go wrong with sopadilla and honey 5/5. Chips and salsa is continuously refilled as requested. Overall service is average, with water refill being done per request, not automatically. I personally would take tourists here to experience the cute vibe of New Mexico that this restaurant gives: a cute brunch with the ladies, a nice hang out and gathering with friends.
