Pajarito Brewpub and Grill

I cannot get over how good their green chile cheeseburger is. I generally work my way through most of a restaurant's menu over different visits but more than half of my visits to this restaurant have had me ordering the same burger because it has firmly earned its spot on the New Mexico Green Chile Cheeseburger Trail.

The mac and cheese is also excellent.

Don't overlook this place! Not many places are open on a Saturday night, so they were busy. It took a while for our food to come out and the fish was overcooked. So why are they getting 5 stars all around? They were remaking the fish, ended up comping the meal, comped a dessert and sent dog treats back to the pooch hanging out at the hotel waiting for us. We might just go back tomorrow night!

Nice atmosphere, excellent list of microbrews and domestic beers. Unique presentation of nachos with onions and green peppers on top. Ask them to make it vegetarian and that was not a problem. My partner had the Angus burger which she said was excellent, fries were not hot enough for her liking and they immediately brought out a huge plate of fries that were fresh out of the fryer. Staff was very accommodating and helpful

Food was incredible

Good food and something for everyone.

New to the area so have been testing out the local restaurants. Ordered takeout curbside to get the vibe of the restaurants food without needing to be present in the restaurant. Phoned in at the time that was told that food would be ready and spoke to Cody who was having some phone trouble and couldn’t understand my name. Stated that he would bring order out in a few. Cody was pleasant and was nice enough to go back in for my missing drink. Didn’t realize that I paid an additional $4 for my kids meal to have truffle fries and wasn’t present in my order upon returning home. I ordered different things from the menu to have a some what full variety. Dry rub smoked chicken wings with veggies and their house made ranch, truffle Mac and cheese, kids cheeseburger and asked for all the veggies for the burger however only received side veggies of carrots, cucumber and celery with ranch. Once again no truffle fries I spent extra for. And one can’t forget dessert, I went with their Guinness brownie with vanilla gelato. The food was good, although I wouldn’t recommend the dry Rubi. The chicken wings, it had no flavor just smoke taste. The house made ranch and their truffle mac and cheese and black cherry soda where the star of the show for me! Also the gelato was very delicious.

Gayle and I had a delicious Reuben sandwich dinner and some excellent brews here last night. Thank you Aaron for your suggestions, great service, and convo.

Foods good. Little pricey though

Just got chips and salsa and pretzels with cheese not bad for typical bar food. Bartender was amazing! Went to watch the football game on a Sunday and was surprised not packed at all.

When we arrived, there were only high-top tables available (very few regular height tables at all) so we ended up sitting on the front "patio" (really just the sidewalk in front of the building). We needed this because my sister had a broken foot and was using a mobility scooter, so it would have been a struggle to get up and down a high stool.

Apart from that, the staff was great; everyone really seemed to pitch in. Our waitress repeatedly had to check with the bartender about the availability of beers - the website didn't match current offerings, and there wasn't a printed list. She may have been new, but she was trying really hard.

Food came out quickly and was really good, much better than I expected. The truffle fries alone are worth a visit! Solid burgers and sandwiches, great salads and good appetizers.

Wheelchair accessibility: My sister was using a mobility scooter due to a broken foot, and didn't have a problem navigating to the front door or in the restaurant.

Walking in today, the restaurant smelled like bad fish or sewer, nit sure which, but definitely not appetizing....
Food was fast and was ok, but way overpriced for what we recieved. Needed refills, extra napkins, ketchup and togo boxes. But never recieved any of it because our server never came back until they were asking us if we were ready for our check :(

Only decent place we could find open on Sunday. Food was great, nice local twists on pub fare favorites. Be aware of the build your own burger concept though, as it gets pricey in a hurry. We opted for other items and enjoyed them. Very good service!
