    Great service. It was a hot day but everything was still yummy. I thought I wasn't going to like the potato's but they were actually really really good. Flavors were all there and I didn't have to ask for any extra sauce.

    Split a carne adovada and green chile chicken enchiladas with a friend for dinner since neither of us could decide what to get. Super cute interior and very cozy. Waitress brought fresh chips and salsa and then fresh sopapillas. Both the salsa and carne adovada were much spicier than we expected but delicious. Green chile enchilada also had a decent kick to it but not as much as the adovada. Meat was a bit on the dry side and I wish I had more chile to wet it, but still tasty and very hearty. Really enjoyed the potatoes.

    Eat where the locals eat. We had a quick lunch here and received prompt service, sitting on the patio under the trees. I had to go with the #1 best seller, the Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas. It was a simple dish with yummy flavors. Pretty much every dish is served with a side of sopapillas, fresh and warm, to enjoy topped with honey. I recommend it!

    Simple and delicious.

    I got my Sunday treat from El Patio today, and I was highly surprised of the flavors and how wonderful it was. I had the Ground Beef Enchiladas rolled Christmas style. Nice. The Sopaipilla was different from others, it had a sweet taste to it, yummy. I do recommend this place for future New Mexicans and other's visiting the state of New Mexico. This was a Doordash order, and I loved it.

    El Patio wasn't initially in my first round as I wanted places that were open in 1937 and/or had 1,000 reviews but the stuffed sopapilla was a knockout. I came to New Mexico specifically for green chile but a delightfully incendiary red-and-green combo is probably the best way to go. The service was super-informative. There was no "I like everything"; after I explained my parameters the waiter narrowed down the lengthy menu to two top choices.

    Dinner here last night was really good. We waited out front for a little bit before we were seated. Once we were inside, we tried a few beers and decided on one from a local brewery. Chips and salsa were both good. I was very happy with the El Patio Combination. Even though the flat cheese and onion enchiladas are a little strange...I guess not really being filled is what makes them flat..the flavor was good. My Chile relleno and taco were both delicious too. My wife had the same feeling about her enchiladas as well. Sopapillas that accompany the meal made for a yummy dessert. Service was friendly and there when we needed it. Good place to stop for pretty authentic New Mexican food,

    This is one of our favorite places to eat in Albuquerque. The staff are friendly and the service is quick and efficient. Enchiladas--so good! Chile cheese fries--so good! Green chile stew--so good! And the sopapillas are the perfect end to the meal. Chef's kiss!

    I'm traveling through town and searched for local favorites, specifically Mexican and found this local spot. I loved it. I was seated quickly, just beat the rush. The green chicken enchiladas were real good. The potatoes on the side added a nice home cooked feel.

    Frito Pie with red chili. Comes with choice of red or green chili and only beans, no meat.
    Kristina R.

    The frito pie came with the choice or red or green chili, with no meat included. Would have liked to have some meat. Was hoping they had fry bread but no success. Service was good and welcoming. I like they have Mexican bottled cokes.

    This place is AMAZING! The chili is the best ever. I wish they had a recipe cookbook. The pancakes are incredible! The restaurant is small & quaint and not set up for large parties. It's a cozy, house like atmosphere. Ryan was our server and did a wonderful job. They get busy so make sure to take a little extra time! Can't wait to come back. We came back two days in a row it was so delicious!

    Best restaurant in Albuquerque, probably New Mexico, possibly the entire American southwest. If you live north of Lomas or east of San Pedro, stay in your suburban hellscape, it's already too crowded. Stick to Chilis or whatever it is you enjoy.

    Nice conversion of old house

    Is the environment quiet?

    It is located a couple of blocks from Central which is a busy street. It is however a quiet area and is quiet to have a nice conversation during your meal. A very nice place to eat.

    Do they serve cocktails?

    No cocktails available.

    Most all reviews will repeat this, but be aware parking is very tight. We arrived at 1:25 pm and…read morewere happy to find two open spots. Earlier I'm sure the small lot was at capacity. Next, the entry door is no longer facing the street. It is on the north wall of the building off the entry to the parking lot. The entrance sign is just sharpie or pen on paper and very faded. Once inside this small converted residence there are two dining rooms. The first was full but there was open seating in the second. There isn't a lot on the walls so the room echoes your conversation to everyone in the room. A bit more art on the walls and the diner vibe would really make itself known. The food. The NYT recently put Mary and Tito's in their 41 best list in the US so I had very high expectations. Usually my wife and I order a single item and share the meal. This time we ordered knowing we'd have take home leftovers. I ordered the Mexican Turnover Combination with beef. This is a pastry crust folded over a combination of ground beef, rice and beans. I ordered the red chile with this. My wife ordered the cheese enchiladas with green chile, rice and beans. This came with a lot of chopped green chile, not a sauce. Overall it was ok, but the beans and chopped chile put down so much liquid it rapidly became a soggy texture less mess. My turnover was tasty and the red chile also ok but not up to the rave reviews I've heard. At this time, I'd rate it the third best red I've had in NM. (See my review for La Cocina in Espanola for my pick for best Red chile in NM- so far anyway ) Overall, I'm glad we finally got the opportunity to dine at this local institution. When we do give it another try, I'm going to follow the recommendation for chicarones and pork adovado. Actual rating 3.5 stars.

It's a tiny restaurant that's very popular, so it builds up. Customers started accumulating about ten minutes before opening, and by the time the door opened, there were more than could be seated. The rest had to wait extra long because of course everyone else had just started. Signature dish here is carne adovada, which you can get in an enchilada, tostada, etc, or plain with red or green sauce on top. Shredded meat, pretty tasty, and unusually the beans were better than the rice. I also had a tamale, decently moist, no husk. This is a good local food place, but didn't strike me as fabulous.
