    We decided to sit at the bar and enjoy drinks and dinner. They make some great margaritas on the rocks. 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.

    I ordered delivery from Sadie's as I was missing one of my old favorites. Still tasty food. Portions seem a tad smaller and this time I noticed I had to order chips and salsa separately, which was an additional charge. I don't know if that's just with delivery but in the past when I've ordered carry out it comes with chips and salsa. I also wasn't sure if I was gonna get a sopapilla so I ordered an order of sopapillas, which was an additional charge. I believe prior I was given one sopapilla, but again, the description didn't say whether I would get one or not. Might be helpful for them to clarify their menu a bit. Overall, it was expensive for a delivery order. I did get two meals out of it, but it was still costly. I still highly recommend this local favorite even though I will limit my ordering due to "shrinkflation" and increased costs that are affecting restaurants across the board.

    Went for lunch with a group, we wanted to sit outside - it was not busy and they had no problem sitting us there, which also led to more customers wanting to sit and enjoy the weather! Service was good the whole time, a couple mishaps in some orders but nothing that was not corrected right away! The food was good, we all enjoyed our meals and drinks! The sopapillas are dangerous!!! Like I could eat an entire basket to myself...if you don't put the honey on them you are doing it wrong!! Also cool to see they are adding a location inside the airport! Love to see when airports are willing to support local restaurants and shops!

    We were looking for some good New Mexican food while staying in Albuquerque, and we found it at Sadie's. Excellent chips and guacamole, chile relleno, and enchiladas. We were very satisfied with our entrees. The restaurant is very large and can easily accommodate groups. It was very busy, and we had a short wait to be seated. Our server was attentive and took care of us well.

    Spectacular Roberto's Special. Rolled enchies and sopa burger was excellent to match stellar service!

    Large portions, delicious food, friendly service. You'll find none better in this area. Classic New Mexico ambience, truly wonderful restaurant.

    There is a reason that Sadie's is a must visit if you're in Albuquerque! We went about 5:30pm on a Tuesday and were seated immediately at a table in the bar area. Service was great! Our server was friendly and efficient. Food was good and the portions are large. A great experience and would definitely go back.

    Our uber driver recommended Sadie's and I'm so glad they did! The cheese enchiladas were tasty, the side of beans and potatoes were a great addition. The chili con queso was melty cheesey yumminess. The chips were fresh, the sopapillas were warm doughy and so good. The salsa was fresh and had a bit of a kick. The margaritas were pretty average but I'd come back for the food and great service.

    I enjoy Sadie's a lot. I have been dining here for many years. My favorite meal is the Robeto special with red chili. Their salsa is my favorite in the city The service has always been excellent.

    Sadie's is truly an excellent choice for Mexican food! The service is great, and the restaurant is very clean. The food itself is outstanding--you get large portions that are bursting with excellent flavors. If you're looking for quality, cleanliness, and a satisfying meal, this is the place to go! Don't sleep on the green salsa!

    This place was recommended to us by a local foodie in New Mexico. It's an old establishment Their food is decent. The wait time from ordering until the food comes out could be improved, but it's not too bad considering how crowded they are. The only 5/5 dish is the chips and salsa, which ironically is complimentary.

    Ask the Community - Sadie's

    Why doesn't Sadie's serve Spanish rice? Do they not know how to make? Papas are best for breakfast, rice with dinner or lunch.

    Incas and Aztecs didnt grow rice

    Do they have fry bread tacos (or Indian fry bread tacos or Navajo fry bread tacos)? I grew up having them called Indian fry bread, but I don't think it's culturally sensitive to use those names anymore.

    No they do not have frybread tacos. I'm guessing you are referring to Navajo tacos.

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.

We stuck a few quarters into the meter that couldn't be read, and we walked into the restaurant. We were greeted at the door and given several options for seating including outdoor seating. We took a table in the entry way, not in the main restaurant. It was a quaint spot overlooking the patio section out front of the restaurant. A server met us, took our drink order, and we placed a few appetizer orders. We got some chile con queso, and the chicharron. They initially brought out the queso in two small plastic to-go containers. I was not very thrilled with that. Then, when we polished them off, they brought out some more in a small serving dish. Why we didn't get the dish in the first place is beyond me. The queso was good, but I didn't think much of the chicharron. My husband like it though. The server did an excellent job keeping our drinks filled. We placed our order, and it wasn't too long that our orders came out. I got the combination plate, red sauce, ground beef taco. My husband thought he ordered the enchilada plate, but the chile relleno plate came out instead. He told them that was fine. The ground beef taco was so delicious. The chile relleno was pretty good, and the cheese enchiladas were okay, even though it was like they were barely there. The pinto beans, not refried beans, were also enjoyed. What really set them apart was their papas - those potatoes were soft and super flavorful. Their red sauce was spicy and flavorful. The server brought out two fresh and hot sopapillas. We poured honey on those things bite by bite. I honestly think those were the best sopapillas I've had. I also used the restroom before we left. It might need a little updating, but it was certainly clean.

We ate from the border crossing past El Paso all the way to Taos, Santa Fe, and Albuquerque. And I'm sure we missed a ton of great places, but that being said, the places we did try... yikes! We rolled the dice on this place. At first I was like, "Great, another place that is going to give us a premade tortilla and some bland combination of stuff in the tortilla..." Now look... this is not a Michelin-starred place, nor is it Michelin-recommended. It's not going to be a spiritual experience. It's not going to make you think differently about a taco, an enchilada, or anything else on their massive menu. But this place has heart, soul, and there's a lot of hustle. The tortillas are made fresh, right there behind the counter (i.e., you can literally watch them crank them out), and that makes a ton of difference. The food is honest, without pretense: fast and affordable. The ambiance is equally without pretense -- college kids, working-class folks, families, academics... The food was simple, spartan, and honest. No frills. Not extraordinary, but above average for the context. There is an ASTOUNDING amount of variety on the menu, and the combinations are infinite. I very much enjoyed my meal, I very much enjoyed the people-watching, and I very much enjoyed the experience. This was perhaps the best meal I had in New Mexico -- the cheapest, and the most memorable. If this place was a beer, it would be one of those local lager/pilsners that is as cheap as a Pabst/Coors/Miller but punches up way past the pretentious IPA scene. Thanks Frontier.

Make sure you take the time to walk around and see the entire property--it is HUGE! It feels like you're stepping into a beautiful Spanish-style hacienda, yet it still manages to feel warm, homey, and down-to-earth. The restaurant is very spacious, has beautiful areas for events, and is also dog-friendly. We made reservations, and I definitely recommend doing the same--you NEED them! We were seated right away, and our server was attentive, friendly, and made our experience even more enjoyable. Now, the food! I loved that you can order your chile "Christmas" style and get both red and green. And FYI--endless chips and salsa! The margaritas were strong and delicious, exactly how a margarita should be. I highly recommend the chicken enchiladas. The chicken was moist, tender, and perfectly shredded. The tacos were also great, and the mole chicken was delicious. My only wish is that the menu offered a few more seafood options. Between the atmosphere, great service, delicious food, and margaritas, El Pinto was such a fun New Mexico experience.

My parents lived in ABQ for years and always thought that the atmosphere was great, but the food was so-so. However, on this instance, we all thought the food was quite good. Flavorful carne adovada, although it was a bit tough. Red chile sauce was spicy but had great flavor. The green chile sauce was hot and tasty. Posole was also good. The gold margaritas were also good - to anyone complaining about the price - at $14.50, the price is very fair considering the cost of ingredients. If you want a cheap junk margarita that is more sugar than anything else, go somewhere else! Our gripe... The place is huge and has an abundance of great places to seat guests. We had a pretty large group - 7 people celebrating a family reunion of sorts. However, they sat us right next to the bussing station that had noisy carts, dishwashers, and other distractions. It was so loud, it was hard to hear the person across the table. There were at least 10 other tables that they could have seated us at! It seems to me that this area should be used only when the restaurant is completely full. This seems to be a poor management decision rather than the fault of the servers or hosts.
