About Thunder Road Steakhouse & Cantina

Thunder Road Steakhouse & Cantina, located on the outskirts of Albuquerque, continues to exceed expectations for a steakhouse and cantina inside a casino. The service is generally outstanding, though the staff can sometimes be a bit understaffed, which causes the waiters to hustle. The decor is over-the-top, as one would expect from a casino restaurant. The food, especially the Mahi Mahi tacos, is quite good, and the ambiance is great, particularly with live music on Fridays. However, the service can be slow at times, particularly for larger parties, so reservations are recommended. The birria tacos are a highlight, with a smaller portion that is perfect for some diners. While some dishes, like the corned beef hash and fajitas, have received mixed reviews due to issues with taste and preparation, other items like stuffed shrimp jalapeño have received praise. The staff is friendly and accommodating, with some guests noting attentive service from individuals like Felisha and Andrea, making it a comfortable place for diners. Many guests make a point to stop by on every trip through the area.

Thunder Road had great music. That’s the best I can say. Food was subpar and drinks were very expensive. $8 for a Moscow Mule plus the $7 for the alcohol to go in it. Food had no flavor. The steak bites were cooked to a crisp. Asada tacos cold and no flavor. Chicken Caesar salad with no croutons or Parmesan cheese and chicken dry. Service sucked. We watched our waitress just standing around and joking with staff like she didn’t care at all. We tried to talk to...read full review

supervisor at the front desk is rude. Just plain unfriendly. When I approached the desk I asked if she had any rooms aviable for an early check in, as we had been driving all night. She said she had a room. She was very discriminatory. Asked for my service dogs credentials, which I provided (this is actually not legal to ask.) She then stated I need to know your medical condition. (This is also not legal) After she ran my credit card she just stared at me. I waited a min. Then...read full review
