We've spent all of our Birthday dinners at El Pinto this year. Then, it was my turn..... drinks took bout 30 minutes to come out, food took forever, and when it finally arrived, it looked as if it had been sitting out forever before service. Red chile ribs were overly spicy (despite my amazing spice tolerance). Loved our patio tables and the two resident cats, but overall a disappointing Birthday dinner experience. Wish I chose elsewhere.

We had dinner with our two small pups on your beautiful patio area. The atmosphere and service were spot on and we throughly enjoyed ourselves. The cocktails and food were delicious. We will definitely return the next time we are in Albuquerque area.

Overall I had a great experience with the food. The dishes were flavorful, well-prepared, and lived up to the restaurant's reputation for quality New Mexican cuisine. However, the service was slower than expected, which made the dining experience less smooth. While I enjoyed the meal itself, I hope the service can be more attentive and timely in the future to match the excellent standard of the food.
