Birria tacos
Christiana D.

We ordered via doordash and I'm so glad we did! Vamos con Gloria expertly packs their take-away boxes. They are neat, clean and labeled perfectly. I highly suggest ordering anything birria! The quesadilla was so flavorful and spicy, everything I wanted and craved. We also ordered the carne asada fries- I wish the fries were more fresh and crispy. Overall, I appreciate the flavors and homemade taste.

Carne Asada fries (size medium)

This place has the most amazing fresh food and incredible customer service to go with it! I found this spot online and decided to try it, Suzie was friendly and very helpful. Honestly everything looked good with such reasonable prices so it was difficult to narrow down what I wanted to order. I went with the medium carne asada fries, it's always a win for me. The serving was huge, and not only that but Suzie added complimentary tacos and a sopa for me to try! I planned to save some for the next day but it was all so tasty I ended up eating everything that night. Without a doubt, I will be back next time I'm in ABQ. Ps: it's take out only , no tables so plan accordingly.

Tacos Dorados Gloria

First time trying this place and it was pretty good. I got the Tacos Dorados Gloria which has bean and beef and these were super tasty! I also got the fidoes which I loved. Lastly I tried the gorditas chicharron. I'm used to having my chicharrone with meat and a little bit of fat and these ones are all fat. They reminded me of tripe in Menudo, so it wasn't my favorite. I didn't know different areas made their chicharrones different! But so I'm sure other people would love it just not me...I prefer mine with meat. lol Would like to try it again and try other tacos Dorados

Such a fun find! I'm really glad to know they're downtown. This is a really great spot if you want a bulk amount of tacos, we ordered 12 of the birria and 4 of the asada. She threw in two of the Gloria special which was asada with beans and red chile, honestly those were my favorite and what I'd get in the future. We tried two of the agua frescas, including the Jamaica which is my favorite and a pina. Both were very good. The spot is walk in only, you order and go. Wasn't a problem for me as I wanted to get take out anyways. Parking was easy, they were the only business in the area open around 5pm so lots of parking was available.

This is such a cute little place! It's a family owned restaurant. They started as a food truck a few years back and most places when they go from food truck to restaurant they kinda lose some quality to the food but not them. I've gone at all points of the week and I'm always greeted with a smile by one of the three sisters. It's great to see them grow!

Carne Asada Fries Small

This is the BESSTTTTT tacos, carne asada fries, salsas and aguadilla fresca i've EVER tried in the United States!!!!! It is so hard to find good authentic mexican food in New Mexico, and this spot is IT!!! The staff is so amazingly friendly and sweet, they even gave me extra tacos to try the rest of the menu (for free??), and MAN DID IT HIT! Their Agua Fresca de Piña was perfect too, not too sweet and very flavorful! Fast, Affordable, DELICIOUS, and would definitely make the drive from cruces to Abq just for this place

Tacos Gloria

The best tacos in Albuquerque! Local family-owned and the service is always amazing! My favorites right now are the tacos de birria and agua de jamaica (sweetened hibiscus tea). It is take-out only and since the tacos dorados are fried until crispy and crunchy they hold up very well, including the birria tacos. I appreciate that they are always packaged very thoughtfully with labels and wax paper to separate different types. It is a small space so I recommend calling to place your order ahead of time.

Omg these tacos Are the bomb. So they were outside an elite event and I live the hard tacos. So You can order the 12 hard tacos or ask for a half order. Make sure to put pico on it!! Excellent tacos at this truck, I can't believe it. Cost is minimal, and OMG love them. Staff is very friendly and willing to tell you what they have to offer and not try and rush you through.

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,

"Quick local and general faves right by UNM campus!"…read more Came here at 12:30pm on a Monday-- the place was HOPPING. There was a long line to order at the counter. Still, I was impressed that the line moved fast, and that we were able pretty quickly to sit at a table for 4. The place looks like a barn from the outside, but the inside is quite large and inviting, where you order at a counter, see when your number is ready per screens, and pick up your food. I ordered the green chile cheeseburger and a side-salad with thousand island dressing. I also had a few bites of my girlfriend's sweet roll. Food was ready in under 10 minutes despite the incredibly large number of people ordering. The salad portion was pretty big-- I didn't expect that at the price of something like $4. It was good-- pretty standard lettuce/ tomato/ etc., but nothing wilted and no stems. The burger was delicious. It was a little hard to eat since the green chile sauce had made the bread pretty wet and was dripping all around. But the burger was good, the sauce excellent, and the accompaniments on the burger also fresh and tasty. The bite of the sweet roll-- wow. LOTS of butter, but man, did it taste good! The place was pretty clean overall for a large diner-like place. A nice lady came and took our trash, and the restroom seemed like it'd been maintained. To be clear, the place was hardly spotless, but when you're feeding that many people, it'd be impossible to be so. Price was great. Very inexpensive. I'd heard good things about this place, and having sampled, I get it. For a quick, easy, decent quality lunch by campus, it's hard to imagine better.

The restaurant has a unique Southwestern atmosphere and a lot of character. We enjoyed trying the New Mexican flavors, and the portions were generous and satisfying. Everything felt casual, affordable, and very local. I can see why Frontier has been an Albuquerque favorite for so many years. If you're visiting Albuquerque and looking for a classic local food stop with a laid-back atmosphere, and friendly services, this is definitely worth checking out!

We had the guacamole and salsa, I recommend mixing them together, they pair surprisingly well. A little pricey at $9.60 for the plate.

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. If you make it to New Mexico, El Pinto absolutely needs to be on your list of places to visit!

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.
