Restaurants in Rio Rancho

“Delicious Real german food”

“Legit pho. Very welcoming and helpful. Beautiful fish tank. All the best pho places have one 😎”

“Oh my gosh. I just ate at this place for the very first time 2 days ago. I drive past this place at least once a week and I've been meaning to stop in for the last several YEARS but never did (just kept forgetting). A friend mentioned to me how good this place was a few days back and I decided that's it I have to go to this place NOW. So I finally stopped by and got the Chipotle Panini. I took one bite and I about passed out it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!! And the banana peppers give it that little extra kick to perfection!!! I can't wait to try everything else on their menu!!!!!! YUMMY!!!!”

“Food is 12/10! So good and portions are more than enough. Very friendly and not over attending server. Would definitely recommend and come visit again. Ordered the combo chicken shawarma, comes with salad and bread. Also got a side of fries and a drink. Didn't think it would be this much food haha. Great atmosphere.”

“Always first rate, every time!”

“Tap and Taco is truly something special. The food is amazing, but what really sets this place apart is the kindness of the owners. They go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome and appreciated, treating customers more like family than guests. Their generosity and genuine care shine through in everything they do, and it creates an atmosphere you don’t find very often. Pair that with some of the best food in New Mexico, and you have a place worth supporting again and again. Thank you Joel and Laura Marquez you guys are the best ever:) we love you guys”

“Friendliest staff, great service and amazing jerk chicken!”

“I love my the taste of coffee”

“Absolutely love this place! It’s small business friendly and love the atmosphere! The peachy keen cider is amazing! Definitely worth the visit!”

“We are in Farmington for a few months for my hubbys job. We went to Wecks Saturday morning. The food was amazing, service was awesome, and it was super clean. But all of the staff were so friendly to everyone, and they all seemed truly happy!! Definitely going back again!”

“Food is absolutely phenomenal, every bite is magic and heavenly. The restaurant itself is a very comfortable environment and the smell of the food cooking gives the restaurant more of an authentic experience. The staff is tremendously wonderful, very attentive and friendly. I love that the staff take the time to get to know their customers and know them on a personal level. That personal touch gives the overall experience a pleasure with every visit. 1000% highly recommend to everyone ❤️”

“Absolutely incredible, I love every time I come here. I'd post a picture of the gyro flatbread, but I ate it before I remembered to take one! Haven't yet found something I wouldn't wholeheartedly recommend.”

“Hit up Davido's Pizza after self proclaimed “pizza snob” Carol recommended it🤷🏻‍♂️ In house pickup right as it came out of the oven. 2 large pizzas. I don’t belive in eating delivered orders as the chain of custody from business to customer is broken for a large amount of time👏 The pizza is huge. A large is a bough for 6 people easily. Definetly paid for quantity on this one. Toppings very proportional, the bake was good, the crust fluffy and chewy, no crisp tho. Major flop but considering the size of the slice that’s to be expected if folded in hand slightly still a bit of flop which is a personal preference. Note***wasn’t soggy at all and was baked correctly. The dough is pretty bland as it goes where it kind of taste like Costco pizza which isn’t bad. A ton of crust left after a slice, diamond pizza screen bake on bottom till light brown. Was a bit confused why I got charged an additional $1.47 2x for toppings on the 2nd half of the pizza considering ham and pineapple was on the entire pizza? Maybe im misreading tho💁🏻‍♂️ All in all it’s a good pizza, sauce just taste like pre made canned industry sauce, crust is a bit bland, toppings are the usual quality but good! Tastes about like every other pizza place running on food service products. I felt like I paid for a ton of crust but I will say if you are hosting a football party or birthday this will definetly take care of your needs. Friendly staff, quick service, average pizza with high cost for a lot of dough. I love to support local but at the end of the day two Costco pizzas with pepperoni for $22 is a far better value IMO for the same flavor profile and size if you aren’t looking for pizza that will really wow your palate with proprietary sauces, dough, and cheese blends. Inflation isn’t fair for customer or business🤷🏻‍♂️ Being fair a solid 3.8 out of 5. 🍕”

“I love this place💜Great food, beer, wait and staff !”

“absolutely amazing food. for two of us with appetizers and two full meals very affordable at a price of $104. it was absolutely worth it. thank you so much for a beautiful night.”

“We rarely have issues with our drinks, and they fix the issue if we do get an issue. But the speaker outside is so LOUD and overwhelming. The workers can't hear, we can't hear them. It's not so loud under the shade but out in the lane it's blaring.”

“Came here for some food and it was great time and great atmosphere. The food was perfect ratio of sauce, meat, and noodles. The drinks came out before we asked for refills, bathrooms were super clean ask great service and you definitely can’t beat the price.”

“Food is great! The slices are Humungous! Highly recommend!”

“Excellent food and service. We are friends of the owner and her family. We recommend their food, and their friendship.”

“Awesome breakfast! Love coming to Dennys with my family!”

“Took my boy for his birthday breakfast. The morning crew treated him so well… bringing out some fun Whataburger swag. Thank you for your kindness! (And he really enjoyed the pancake platter!)”

“I eat at Whataburger a LOT, as a native Texan, it's just comfort food. I eat at pretty much every Whataburger in town...

...but THIS Whataburger is the BEST!

It's always clean, service is always excellent, and the Michael (I believe he's the manager) is always very friendly, nice and takes care of things.

As a business owner, I recognize good leadership..clearly this location has excellent leadership. The staff are all in good spirits all the time and everything is done wonderfully.

Bottom line, somebody give these people a raise!”

“Jude was my server the other day. He’s always such a pleasure to work with. Makes sure the order is correct every time and he always has a smile when I see him. Hopefully they give him a raise to keep him around. We need more people like Jude!”

“great food enjoyed eating breakfast there 😋 thank you”

“I do believe she loves her pup cup!”

“A beautiful location! Definitely give it a try!!”

“We were traveling from Iowa and were hungry for pizza. Staying at a hotel in Bernalillo and searched for pizza and stumbled upon The Hopper and took a chance. The pizza was amazing and we would highly recommend.”

“Wonderful experience! (Don't let the outside of the building dissuade you). The food is excellent, the servers both attentive and positive, and the energy is great. I will definitely be eating here again!”

“Friendly staff, delicious Vietnamese cuisine.”

“Our meals were very good steaks not quite cooked to order but still tasty. My one thing is I was really shocked to see that for takeout there was an automatic 20% tip added and that there is no more curbside”

“10/10 would recommend! Gives a fun taste you your everyday soda, energy drink, etc.”

“This is the absolute best pizza chain in New Mexico. Their pizza is delicious and their ranch dressing is the best I've ever had from a bottle.”

“Great bagels, super friendly group.”

“Exceptional food and drink! I highly recommend the Turquoise Burger and the Pretzel Appetizer. All their breads are sourced locally from the bakery next door. The service is exceptional, and it has become our local hangout.”

“super sarap talaga so much”

“New to the area and O’Hare’s is our favorite place. Great food and very friendly, knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.”

“Everything is fabulous there.”

“This is the absolute best pizza chain in New Mexico. Their pizza is delicious and their ranch dressing is the best I've ever had from a bottle.”

“I absolutely enjoyed this place for a coffee date with another mom. Our babies were able to be babies without worrying about disturbing others and we all had a fantastic time. Our coffee was absolutely delicious and I had the best muffin!

My one and only complaint is a big one that will make me not come back... NO CHANGING TABLE in either of the bathrooms. I don't know when that became a rarity in restaurants and coffee shops, but I will not take my baby back to a place where I had to change their diaper on a pile of paper towels on a bathroom floor.”

“I notice a sign on the door that said Bakery open. The sign sent a message to my sweet tooth. It said go in and enjoy a pastry. When I opened the door, I saw a neat, clean bakery with flowers on the table and a showcase filled with delicious looking pastries. My wife and I had a difficult time choosing what we wanted to buy, Finally, we settled on an eclair and tiramisu. We enjoyed both pastries. I suggest you try this place whenever you feel the need to enjoy an outstanding treat.”

“We were in the Bernalillo area and a Google search pulled this place up! We were SO impressed! The staff was awesome. The service was great, and the food was absolutely amazing. Even the teas were better than most places. The prices were about normal, and nothing was extreme. We had such a great meal. What's funny is our oldest daughter could not get off work in time, so we ordered food to go and took to her. They ate after we left, and she called us to say how good the food was. Bernalillo is kind of far from us, but when we are there, we will definitely eat here. The Salmon Bento Box was a lot of food and amazing. The sushi rolls were great. My brother got something where she asked how much spice he wanted and it was prefect! It was amazing, and we all loved it!”

“My mom, sister and I came for the first time the other day and Kristen was really helpful at explaining how it works. Everything was really good and delicious for a hot day! Will definitely be back!!”

“Best pho and egg rolls I have ever had. The staff is friendly and provides fast service. It is a great place for friends, coworkers and/or family members to get together and to enjoy some good food at the same time.”

“This is a family run business who make their own delicious scones and roast in-house organic fair trade coffee. Lovely outside seating area, and plenty of parking. Highly recommend.”

“The elotes and the tacos are delicious.”

“Shakes and teas are great! Staff is great 😊”

“My favorite place for Pho, banh mi and anything else I’ve tried. Other places just haven’t even come close in comparison.”

“This morning was my first time...pleased with the food - barbacoa street tacos and sausage breakfast burrito. My husband said the burrito was best ever! Logistics are another matter...I couldn't figure out the on-line ordering. So I called to ask a question - rang 19(!) times and the quality of the call was terrible - broken up and background noise. I called back and was answered at 3 rings. Quality of the call was much better and I ended up ordering by phone. Traffic is AWFUL. There were at least 12 cars in the drive thru..backed up onto eastbound Southern Blvd. I couldn't even pass the cars in line to continue down 26th (which dead-ends). I finally passed the line, went down 26th and turned around, parked and walked across to the walk-up window. Service was quick and friendly. Getting out of 26th again is a hassle - a lot, lot of cars going East on Southern so drivers going West waited forever - I finally was able to turn East on Southern and turned around to go West. PLEASE please figure out a better process! The food is good; it's a hassle to get to it!”

“My granddaughter and I stopped in the drive through on Unser today around 3:45. It was after a few errands and I know I was getting irritable. We were greeted through the speaker with amazing customer service. At the window after paying, my granddaughter mentioned that she really liked his positivity. He had us pull around to bring out our food and my granddaughter wanted me to tell him how we appreciate his attitude and energy. He brought our food out quickly and continued to exude friendly and cheerful service. He provided the best service and attitude I’ve received from an employee at any business that I can ever recall. We thought we’d use Facebook to show our appreciation and hope he gets recognition from his manager. The receipt showed the name Zachary. Thanks again, Zachary!!”

“I love this place. Every morning I wake up in Chicago, I start my day with New Mexico Piñon Coffee. Love the flavor, pairs well with almond milk.”

“Mariah the Asst. Manager Mariah and her 2 othe remployees Zoey and Ivan, provided the best quality of service. After a long day of adventures we could not have asked for a better place to stop for fast food. Exceptional service, hands down. A must stop.”

“The staff is always very nice. The food is good and it’s just a nice place to go with family.”

“Fantastic Wings! I love the garlic Parmesan wings and fries! We order from the Ogden Utah location on 12th street! They always have my order fresh, fast and delicious. Thank you Ogden Wingstop”

“This is the first time we have ever visited a Papa Murphy, and we weren't sure what we were expecting, but everything was fresh, the cooking instructions were easy to understand, and the end result was delicious!”

“delicious drinks and super friendly staff. Also, the best pup cups in town!”

“I really enjoyed the blueberry cheesecake. And it's really cool that it gets delivered to me in person.”

“Muy rica comida y un excelente servicio”

“Had the rose lemonade and my kiddo had a blue raspberry slush and it was Devine hands down 10/10”

“My favorite is the Huevos Rancheros. This is a big breakfast! 3 over easy eggs, each on its own corn tortilla, covered with grilled veggies and served with wonderful rice and refried beans. Not your average Huevos Rancheros. This is something a little different and well worth the exploration! Been eating here for years and it’s always great. I especially like the condiments counter with the salsa and sauces and grilled onions and the most fabulous roasted whole jalapeños :)”

“Fantastic young people working there. Very friendly and welcoming. We come often. They are a busy store and they clear a crowd rapidly, but with care.”

“My family was in town for a burial of our loved one. We stopped at Pizza Hut after. There was 20 plus of us. The waitress, Kelly, was very accommodating for all of us. She went above and beyond to meet our thirsty requests and arranged the dinner room to fit us all so we could sit together. Our pizza was delicious and fast. Strongly recommend”

“So kind and helpful! Food is 20/10!🔥”

“Some of the best Chinese food I've had in a long time. Very fresh, excellent service, everything was delicious! Hoping to come back again and again, highly recommend.”

“Returning customer stopped going way before the pandemic hit due to poor service and missing items. Ordered Pick up service on a Saturday dinner rush. The food was ready and perfect, customer service excellent. Kudos to the workers.”

“Staff is excellent I didn't know what to order there was so many options. I ordered the best burrito I've eaten. You just pick what you want and they make it. The flour tortillas tasted just like the my grandmother's.”

“Best southern style chicken joint in Albuquerque. Love the mushrooms and okra! The manager lady and young fellow working the register with red hair had very good customer service. I’ll be back for sure!”

“Calti was so rude. I said good morning and she rolled her eyes—didn’t crack a smile. Normally this makes me wonder if she is having a bad day but this girl is ALWAYS like this. Then I gave her my order and asked for light ice; she showed me on the cup how full my drink would be—2/3 full MAYBE by where she pointed. I said that’s not right—just because I want less ice. She just looked at me and held up the cup again and pointed how much drink there would be. I left and so did my 2 friends. Starbucks usually has such positive employees!! I won’t go there—my neighborhood—if she is behind the counter. She needs to be educated on her customer service skills! She should be greeting customers with a smile—I don’t think I’ve EVER seen her smile. She was not busy, especially since 3 of us who only wanted a breakfast sandwich and a drink left!”

“I ordered door dash and I am SO GLAD I did. I haven't had this delicious and fresh Chinese food since I left Kansas in 2000. I ordered cashew chicken and pineapple chicken and egg drop soup. Even my picky granddaughter couldn't get enough!”

“Wanted only sides,3 biscuits large coleslaw,seasoned corn,that was.terrable, but the price was crazy,$16.65, I've could of ordered the bucket, fir this price, anyways only two people working,not busy,on my way out how dirty the place was,my guess no help”

“Great bagels, super friendly group.”

“Ordered a bulk meat pkg and a bit disappointed. Asked and was under the impression I was getting both hamburger patties and loose hamburger. Plenty of Club steaks and a ton of hot dogs (!), but no loose meat hamburger, which is what I most wanted. Make sure you know what you are getting before carrying out bulk orders. Can't comment on quality at this time.”

“Exceptional food and drink! I highly recommend the Turquoise Burger and the Pretzel Appetizer. All their breads are sourced locally from the bakery next door. The service is exceptional, and it has become our local hangout.”

“The burger is exceptional! A generous angus patty with little grease and great flavor. The onion rings are also outstanding and best for sharing, because you get a lot if them.?”

“Such a lovely dining experience! When I needed to change my daughter, she was incredibly kind and thoughtful, watching the door so we could have privacy. It’s these small acts of courtesy that make such a difference. Thank you, Angela, for your warmth and hospitality!”

“Food is good, they are quick for drive through (my most used method of getting food), ive only been inside once and it seemed clean and calm. When my bank was refusing payment they were patient, held my food while I ran to the ATM.”

“great mcdonalds staff is great”

“Easily my most favorite Del Taco in the city! It's always clean and quick, the size and location almost give the feel of a hidden gem.

It seems like everytime I go I get Coleen helping me and I wouldn't have it any other way! She is kind, efficient and always ensures my order is correct and exactly what I wanted!

I can already tell I'll be coming back often enough to call it a habit.”

“The 2 young ladies working the drive thru were very pleasant, polite and prompt. The one working the speaker took my order in less then a minute of getting to the speaker, but addressed me as soon as I pulled up to let me know she’d be right with me. She took my order (small chocolate shake), apologized that smalls weren’t available at that moment, so I upsized to a medium, no cherry. She told me my total, and said have a great night.
Second young lady cashed me out as soon as I got to the window and I got my shake and straw in like 2 minutes (extremely fast considering there was only 1 car in front of me, so like less than 5mins total between getting to the speaker to pulling away from the window). Made perfectly.

Great service!”

“Everything is fabulous there.”

“My bar tender was amazing laughing and joking made it a great experience. She was smiling and always on top of the drinks and checking if I needed to order food. My bar tenders name was Veronica”

“The burgers were tender, juicy, and absolutely delicious! Everything was hot and fresh when I ordered, and the service was quick even though it was during rush hour. Dora is a great boss and clearly does a wonderful job running the place. Great food and great service, I’ll definitely be back!”

“Jude was my server the other day. He’s always such a pleasure to work with. Makes sure the order is correct every time and he always has a smile when I see him. Hopefully they give him a raise to keep him around. We need more people like Jude!”

“After having a terrible experience at the Long John Silver’s on Rio Rancho Boulevard, I decided to stop at the Popeyes on Southern—and I’m so glad I did!

From the moment I walked in, Sage and the entire team completely turned my day around. Everyone was welcoming, patient, respectful, and genuinely kind. They treated me with professionalism and made me feel like a valued customer. The service was fast, my order was correct, and the food was fresh and delicious.

What stood out the most was the positive attitude of the entire staff. After the way I had just been treated elsewhere, their kindness and excellent customer service meant more than they probably realized. It’s refreshing to see a team that truly cares about their customers and works together to create such a welcoming atmosphere.

Thank you, Sage, and the entire Popeyes team on Southern, for restoring my faith in great customer service. You turned a very frustrating day into a much better one, and I truly appreciate it. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend this location to anyone looking for friendly service and a great meal!”

“Mariah the Asst. Manager Mariah and her 2 othe remployees Zoey and Ivan, provided the best quality of service. After a long day of adventures we could not have asked for a better place to stop for fast food. Exceptional service, hands down. A must stop.”

“Born and Raised In Hawai’i, Saw That They Were Putting A L&L Hawaiian BBQ 3 Hours Away. Family and I Were Excited, Waited For The News That They Were Open. It Was Worth The Drive Today From Farmington, NM. Was Warned It May Be A 40 Min Wait But We Got Food Faster Than Expected and It Was Crowded. We Didn’t Care About The Wait Because We Were Happy That We Got Our L&L Fix. Got Our Chicken Katsu, BBQ Mixed Plate and Spam Musubi. Food Was Onoliciois 🌺 Mahalo”

“These burgers are 🔥🔥!! 💯 10/10. Fresh and tasty and made to order. Great customer service. Highly recommend!”

“I drove two miles back to my temporary house and they were soggy. Just limp potatoes. I'm gonna try again tomorrow and ask for them extra crispy 😁”

“they are amazing and sell the best Gold bars and other deserts definitely recommend.”

“This is probably the best Cane's I've ever been to. The food was consistent and quick. What made the experience magical were the two cashiers that took our order,
Matt and Emily. The vibe and humor they added to the short interaction we had with them made us feel immediately welcome and left us feeling like we had a great experience. Even when there weren't customers, the background banter made the entire establishment feel welcoming. 10/10, would recommend. These two employees 100% deserve a raise and great praise.”

“Not to sure why the reviews are so low. This is my go to place for an amazing burrito that you dont need any salsa for its THAT good. Get the Asada burrito with the green salsa and you wont be disappointed.

Everyone who works there understands English but maybe learning to order in Spanish wouldn't be the end of the world either and you get to learn something new. I will definitely be coming back! Muchas gracias!!”
