    Tamale and rice
    Christina H.

    Still fast and delicious! I still recommend this spot for authentic Mexican food. The service is great at this pick up spot.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Zenobia C.

    I thought I was the only one to discover this quaint eatery but once I walked inside, most of the tables were taken! I had a craving for something special and I got it! I ordered the breakfast burrito and requested an addition of lettuce and tomato! It was so tasty that I went back a few weeks later to satisfy my craving for posole. I was not disappointed. The wait staff was always great! Those women work hard and know their clientele well.

    Taqueria Mexico has always been a solid spot and I've enjoyed a lot of their food over the years. Back in the day, I used to work down the street from their previous location and so I was there for lunch pretty often. They always had good flavor and were very affordable. On my most recent visit, I got a few burritos, and boy were they greasy. Still edible but really way too much on the grease. They were also super messy and just kind of fell apart. Fries and flan were great. I also found that their prices have gone up quite a bit and it was pretty shocking to me that the tip option (on a pickup order) went up to 50%! I went to tip a standard 20% but the options ranges from 18%-25%-35%-50%. I know the employees likely don't set those ranges themselves but that's a really abnormal range and if you aren't paying attention...

    Carne Adobdo

    Unbelievable! Best food we have ever eaten! Service was great! Truly authentic and delicious!

    Authentic and great to sit inside or out. Service is excellent. But most importantly the food will bring you to your knees. There's not much better for my taco obsession.

    Breakfast burrito

    Delicious food with friendly service. We enjoyed the breakfast burritos at dinner time.

    Oh my God, thank you yelp! All I can say is eat here! Eat here! Eat here! Eat here! I'm only spending the night in Albuquerque and I'm coming back tomorrow for breakfast burrito. I can't imagine ever coming through Albuquerque again and not eating here. Please note that if you try to get directions from this website, it will take you to the correct parking lot, but I'm the way wrong side. This is on the north side of the building.

    Do they have crispy. Chicken tacos?

    Hi! Are the fish tacos fried or grilled fish?

    Grilled

    Do they have soft tacos and is the chicken taco grilled chicken pieces or the shredded kind?

    the tacos are soft and the grilled chicken is then shredded :) you can also ask them to prepare the chicken a certain way, they are pretty obliging there

The restaurant refers to itself as New Mexican rather than Mexican, like in Texas. The food has a little different spice mixture (some lighter or a different blend) and some food items are interpreted a little differently by the chef. Nothing disappointed us. I ordered the Frank Sr's Combo Plate to sample some of my favorites. The surprise here was the green chili sauce and using brisket instead of ground beef. It was the good kind of surprise. My wife ordered Calista's Carne Adovada Plate (brined & marinated pork cushion). Both dishes came with rice and charro beans. We exchanged forks of food across the table and every item (all 7) were a hit. The rice was cooked in chicken broth and butter and the beans had almost no cumino or chili powder but had something else slightly spicy and delicious. I could have eaten a bowl of rice & beans. But the Combo plate and Pork entree were some of the best I've had. Now I know why it is New Mexican food not Mexican food. I will come back and recommend this restaurant to people I know,

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.

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.
