Flying in to ABQ??? Upon arrival at ABQ and upon departure we stopped for lunch. We decided it was the best representation of red chili in a week of eating. The Carne Adovada was delicious on a plate, burrito and on fry bread. Service was friendly and efficient, but that was a bonus when the food is so delicious.

What a cute little place in a fun area! First time visitor to this family-owned place open since 1977. We sat outside on a cute little patio shaded by two big beautiful trees. Great service by a very friendly server who shared the history of the place with these out-of-towners. We ordered - WHAT ELSE? - flat cheese enchiladas with Christmas sauce. Super cheesy, super yummy! Served with tastey pinto beans and nice papas. Also had delicious chili rellenos with pintos and papas, too. Great surprise at end of the meal: giant, hot, fresh sopapillas! Complimentary with each plate! Very glad we found this little gem!

Delicious meals with an abundance of flavor and a "home cooked" vibe. Service is fantastic & attentive. The outdoor patio is a wonderful spot to enjoy a meal. Provecho!

Great food, attentive staff, cool use of an old bungalow as a restaurant. El Patio checked a lot of boxes, all in the right way. Recommend as an appetizer the frito pie with red chilies . Beer and limited cocktails available to wash that down. A limited number of mains but they are all excellent. My chicken enchiladas were very saucy, rich, and filling. Decent sopapillas too. Only negative--parking but what do you expect, it is right across from UNM.

El Patio is dynamite. It's in a former house converted to a restaurant. There aren't a whole lot of tables, so make sure you come early to get your spot. There is also a patio outside but it was closed due to rain. Service was quick and attentive. Our server knew the menu and made sure we received exactly what we ordered, and our party of 6 did! My kids loved the guac. I thought the salsa (*with chips) was hot but tasty. The enchiladas were good. The stuffed sopapilla with the pork was good, but i wonder if the chili rellenos might have been better. I highly reccomend.

Great time visiting this hometown favorite . We were in vacation and wanted to try some local places. Easy to find location, with indoor or outdoor seating. Great options on the menu to fit any tastebuds. Really good food and cooked with the right amount of spices. Definitely a place to visit. Until next review Kisses
