Reviews for El Patio Rio in Albuquerque, NM
We are vacationing in NM for a week and wanted to find some great Mexican food during our visit. After scanning the web for... great Mexican restaurants in the Albuquerque area El Patio looked unique and interesting. We tried it and we were NOTdisappointed. Our waitress, Amanda, recommended the filled sopapia which was awesome. The pork filling was tasty and theChristmas sauce was nice and spicy hot. Our experience and food exceeded our expectations and highly recommend it for the foodand ambiance. Thanks Amanda - you were awesome regardless if it was only your 3rd day. Read more
Exceptional service and food. The wait staff was very kind and friendly. Even with the labor shortage being felt everywhere, the... staff here maintains a positive and helpful attitude. Plus the food is wonderful. Love the smothered breakfast burrito! Read more
BEST MARGARITAS EVER! An awesome place for locals. Have family who live in ABQ and they took us here. Great service too!
Being originally from Southern NM I'm often nervous trying Northern NM cuisine.. Really glad I found this place. Service was... great, food was delicious and loved the super laid back environment.. Read more
Food always great! Stuffed Sopa (xmas) Chicken... would have given 5th star but the margaritas were a little off and normally... are very good! Cheers Read more
This is a quaint, almost rustic neighborhood restaurant. Local art on the walls, friendly staff/servers with a laid-back New... Mexico vibe. I ordered the chili con queso with chips and I didn't go wrong. The queso was creamy with just the right heat tomake it enjoyable. For my entree I had the green chili chicken enchiladas with beans, and a side of sour cream. Dee-lish! Italso came with a heavenly fluffy sopapilla made to perfection. Honey was already on the table and made for a perfect palettecleanser and dessert. My only critique is they didn't have any light/low-carb cerveza. Just a minor hitch though. My bill was$32 for the above. I will be returning but not frequently. Read more
The food was ?just ok? tonight, but the atmosphere is great and they have a giant outdoor patio. If you?re brave enough to sit... inside, there?s a beautiful little kiva fireplace in the corner? I really love their chili Rihanna?s but I?m not able to havethem anymore so I had just a plain taco and again it just wasn?t great. The margarita was fabulous though! ;-) Read more
Food was good. There are some options for gluten free served with corn tortillas. They also have a gluten free green chile, must... be the right time of the year for it to have some spice, I really liked it. They have a good selection of beers & drinks. ElPatio (like, the actual outside patio seating area) has a nice vibe, there were heaters, umbrellas on the tables outside theoverhang, greenery, etc. Really relaxing when we were there. The service was pretty okay, nothing stellar but not bad. Read more
