Pajarito Brewpub and Grill is such a fun spot with a warm, rustic pub vibe. The food came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The sweet potato fries are definitely worth ordering! The service was amazing -- attentive, friendly, and genuinely fun. Cyd is the best and made the whole experience feel welcoming and relaxed from start to finish. The ambiance is cozy with a great mix of bar seating, high top tables, and booths, plus the decorative indoor lights give it a laid-back atmosphere that's perfect for hanging out with friends or winding down after work. Great beer selection too! read more

Stopped in today on Father's Day for lunch as we're staying in town for the night. Not many options on a weekend in Los Alamos, so options were limited. We made the wrong choice. There were 10 tables occupied around 1:00 and all but 3 tables were eating their food, but we still waited 25 minutes to order after we got our drinks. I had to ask the young man hosting to find our appetizer and waitress after 20 minutes. 3 of us had fries with our entrees and they were soggy, greasy, and so salty that none of us ate them. Our son who loves cheeseburgers said his tasted funny, our daughters chicken nuggets tasted like the fish my wife ordered, and my Rueben was dry and chewy because the meat was reheated on a flattop instead of steamed like it should be. No one in the kitchen seems to have a clue how things should be done in a restaurant. I could go on, but what's the point. The only thing I'll remember about this place was bad food and the $100 we threw in the garbage. If I had the chance to have a redo, I'd go down the street and eat at Sonic, and Sonic sucks. read more

Our daughter is interning at LANL for the summer. So as good parents, we accompanied her for the move. We arrived in Los Alamos on Saturday afternoon. We wanted a sit down dinner. Most places in town were closed for the weekend, or were closed for dinner, or were take out. This seemed to be our only option. The margaritas were STRONG. I'm used to a sugar rum on a fruity margarita, but they used salt here. My salad was really good. I asked for the bacon protein option. It ended up being bacon bits. For those couple dollars extra I was expecting actual bacon slices. My Tres Leches cake was really dry and lacked flavor. Bland. Printable also ordered a carrot cake - which was also dry and bland. The cream cheese frosting was a huge disappointment (isnt the only reason to order carrot cake the cream cheese frosting?) Overall it was a decent place and I'm guessing, given the options, one of the better places in Los Alamos. Our waiter, Aaron, was definitely the star and made the experience super enjoyable. read more

Very good reuben and fries and enough food for two meals. I ended up devouring the fries on spot and then took the sandwich home for later. It's still good even re-heated! read more

We stopped in here for lunch because we were hungry & thirsty. It's a great place for both! I had a buffalo chicken sandwich with pepper jack cheese. For a side I had the Cole slaw. I very much enjoyed all of this. My friends Judd the chips & salsa, a ton of chips and a mild salsa. It's a good place to do lunch! read more

Worst sandwiches ever! We ordered the Reuben, soggy bread, stingy meat and horrible sauerkraut. We paid 3$ extra for sweet potato fries that came with parsley and Parmesan cheese on top???! Sauerkraut was also only on 1/2 of the sandwich. Not worth the 22$ we paid. read more

I was in Los Alamos to do some volunteer work, and had to stop by this place for some football. FYI, I think this is the only place in Los Alamos that shows the games. Anyways, the beer was good, and the truffle fries were awesome. Say hello to Jackie the bartender who just moved to Los Alamos. The pub itself lacks in any sort of ambiance. In fact, it was really cold in there, and I had to keep my jacket on the whole time. Regardless, if you want some good beer and watch the game, this is the place to be. read more

I have been meaning to come here for a long time. Finally had the chance the day after Christmas. I went with the Reuben Burger with the side of Broccoli Piñon Salad. Both tasted really good. The service was great, had the soda refills coming on time. We even shared some laughs. I would like to come back for a few pints and try the chicken wings I saw at some other tables. Stay tuned. read more

Almost every table being full on a weekday night tells you a place is well-liked, and with good reason. Fast, attentive service, a long list of drinks, and a range of menu items. We had salads and they were enormous! Well-cooked chicken on both. Wish we had left room for dessert. Lots of TVs to watch but still a low volume so conversation was easy. read more

The truffle Mac and cheese is the best thing I couldn't finished in my entire life. Perfect!!! Very rich, truffle forward...exactly what you'd expect from a dish with that description but better. Bartender was super nice and knowledgeable, great selection of beers and a menu that really represented the area. Feels like a place I could sit down to a beer every Friday. I don't know how they only have 3 stars. read more

After spending the day sightseeing at Valles Caldera National Preserve and Bandelier National Monument, we went to the Pajarito Brewpub for dinner. We had a Reuben with sweet potato fries, a green chile burger with French fries and a Pastrami burger with homemade chips. Everything was good and plentiful. Brewpub atmosphere. Service was outstanding. read more

Restaurant and pub with a good selection of craft beers on tap. Casual place on a busy street with parking nearly at the front door

It is my 4th time eating a that restaurant and I have been surprised how consistent the quality of the food is! Fresh and so tasty! I do not understand why other restaurants can't compete with that quality? The service it fast and done with a smile! The restaurant is a pub so it is casual but pleasant! Thank you Pajarito for making me want to come again! read more

Food was pretty good, friendly and attentive service, atmosphere was very casual, clean but otherwise unremarkable. Decent selection of draft beers. The burger was cooked perfectly with a good char. Fajita Salad was more fajitas and dressing with chips than salad, but still good. Kids burgers were really small but served on the same size bun as an adult burger. Fries were just OK. read more

My family and I chose the Pajarito Brewpub because we had limited options visiting Los Alamos on a Sunday, and we were pleasantly surprised. My dad said that reuben sandwich was one of the best he's had, the grilled chicken on my salad was delicious. Finally, when talking to our server about wanting to try a local beer, she insisted on giving samples of their offerings so I could decide. Service was incredibly quick once we ordered. Thank you Pajarito Brewpub! read more

Nice local spot for good beer and fish and chips. Will come back on next business trip to the lab.

Passing through Los Alamos on my birthday, I decided to get a frajita salad at Pajarito Brewpub with guacamole and grilled chicken that turned out to be one of the freshest and most delicious salad I have had for a very very long time and to accompany the salad, I got an order of pretzel bites, absolutely delicious! The reason I am righting a review is because the salad was so fresh, crisp and tasty that is unusually available in restaurants ( that is my experience) It was a take out order and when I picked up my order I was greeted by a lovely lady that made sure my order was to my liking! Congratulations Pajarito Brewpub! I'll be back and maybe I'll bring friends with me!!! read more

This is a great place to grab a casual dinner. Service was good and so was the food, which arrived very quickly. Plenty of beer options to choose from. I had steak frites and the brussel sprout appetizer, which I was particularly impressed with. The flavor was great and the sprouts were perfectly fried. There were less full sprouts and more leaves. Very tasty! read more

I have ordered wings from this place for 3 years.... And they r hit and miss! They have a new menu... I have not ordered wings the last 4 times I have gone here because they have no meat n them and simply horrible! So I thought I would try them once again... this skin was so thick and I barely got one piece of chicken from each!! I'm done! We have been going there literally almost every week since we moved here due to lack of options in this town!! He lowered the prices but obviously the quality as well!! Carlos u r amazing! read more

Day trip to Los Alamos. Looked up local breweries. I had my dog, so I ended up eating outside. The view was pretty thumbs down. The patio has leftover parts from the building and chicken wire as their barrier. It's just not very appealing, but it was convenient they allowed dogs outside. The table was extremely dusty, so I asked for a server to clean this at their convenience. There are plenty of selections for beer. I had the Kolsch, and it was one of the better ones I have tasted. We split a budget, and I would highly recommend this as it is a large serving. Their meat is delicious. I also ordered the pretzel bites and I would highly recommend getting them. The bites were soft and buttery. I have attached a photo. Trust me, you will be glad you had this for a starter. Overall, good service and good food. read more

I stopped in for supper and since I was by myself I sat at the bar. Diana was the bartender and she made me feel right at home. I ordered the Fajita Chicken Salad and it was one of these best salads I've ever had. Fresh, the chicken tasted like it had just come off the grill and dressing was perfect. The World Series was playing and quite a few folks were there to watch the game. The atmosphere was fun but not too loud. Everyone was having a good time! I'll definitely be back. read more

I've been there over a number of years and 80% of the time been disappointed If you do go there stick to the basic food they serve as the bourgeois food is a bad choice I would definitely look somewhere else Shame on you read more

best fish and chips me and brother have ever had. Truly worth trying, Dianna the bartender was truly amazing and very helpful truly made us feel like family wether your getting off working just driving threw town it's definitely worth stopping by and seeing Dianna for some great food and a cold beer read more

Great beer selection, with a focus on New Mexican breweries, and very good food. I had the reuben which was awesome. House smoked pastrami, house cut fries, house made salad dressings. This place does a lot of work to make it work. Service was good even though they were clearly short staffed. Ice at the bar for your beer, which is a mice touch. But you have to wonder about calling yourself "brewpub" without any house beers. Whatever, the food is too good for me to think too much into that. read more

Pajarito Brewpub and Grill - What remains of the huge Reuben sandwich! - New American Near Me - Los Alamos, New Mexico

This brewpub is located right on Trinity Dr across the street from Smith's so it's super easy to find. They're currently doing limited seating for indoor and outdoor dining but are also offering takeout and online ordering. The beer selection here is amazing with something for everyone. The food menu is pretty standard for a brewpub and offers burgers, sandwiches, mac & cheese, nachos and wings. I had the truffle mac & cheese with bacon added and tried some of the blue cheese burger and truffle fries. Both items were solid, but I did feel like the mac n cheese lacked some truffle flavor compared to the fries, but that could be because of how cheesy it was. We had an awesome server who checked on us the perfect amount of times and I'm sure we'll be back soon. read more

Food was okay but they called this a beer flight. There was literally a sip of beer in each glass. The waitress was adamant that this is their typical pour for beer flights. read more

Service is slow, and sometimes they forget you altogether. On more than one occasion, I have ordered a second beer and still did not receive it after 20 minutes. Food is hit and miss. I ordered a reuben, and got a soggy mess. They put about a pound of cheese on it, which pretty much makes it look unappealing and ruins the taste. On the plus side they are open a bit later than most places in Los Alamos and they are open on Sundays. read more

This place just can't be consistent. Got the stuffed green chile burger. It was served absolutely raw. They took it back to the kitchen to recook. It took 30 minutes and when it came back it was a charcoal briquette. Not returning anytime soon and that is in a town with few options. read more

I love their food. The dishes we ordered were well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Portions were huge too.

Stopped here after visiting Bandelier National Monument. Shared an order of a dozen wings with my 4 year old (buffalo & BBQ) with a side of truffle fires. They were delicious! Gluten free with crispy skin and just the right amount of sauce! I would come back just for them. My husband had the philly cheese sandwich which he said was "just all right". He had a side of the house made chip which he did not like. Sent back the first order because they were hard and chewy. The second order that came out was a bit better but still in need of help. Our waitress Brittany was extremely friendly and attentive. Lots of beers on tap and TV screens viewable from most seats to watch the game! Prices were reasonable and the restaurant was clean. read more

If I could give them a zero I would, myself and my family were sat pretty quickly, that was about it we just sat there after about 15 minutes and seeing other arriving and being sat they were immediately greeted and served water while my family just sat there with our menus. Now you may wonder if maybe the server's didn't notice us but trust me several of the staff that walked by looked in our direction and not one bothered to stop and ask if we needed any assistance. After another family was sat and of course they were greeted immediately and were brought out water and drinks my family and I just got up and left. I did tell the hostess and a server, they should have just Informed us that they weren't going to serve me and my family and we could have saved ourselves some time. I don't know if this was just BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE or just straight some racism of some kind. Which is wild because I'm not the darkest of Mexicans I'm pretty light skinned but you can definitely tell I'm Mexican and that goes for my family as well. But stay away from this place. Never again first time and last time. Worst experience ever. read more

It was a crowded Saturday lunch, and the wait for food was not bad. The fried pickles were bountiful and good with ranch dipping sauce. The hamburger was cooked just right with a mountain of fries. Basic hamburger $14, $1 for Swiss cheese, $3 for 2 slices of bacon, $2 for fries brings the cost of burger and fries up to $20! The beef stroganoff should be a beefy gravy with sour cream, not melted butter with sautéed mushrooms and beef with a dollop is sour cream in top served over wide noodles. It was all greasy butter covered, no gravy. The beer selection was good. The Nitro milk stout was good as always and the Tractor cider was flavorful. The ice tea has an option of $1 more for a dash of raspberry purée, which you find out after the fact. Strange that they charge you extra for a flavored ice tea. The extra charge for every little thing is unusual for a restaurant, and not have it rolled out into the prices. The service was adequate. Why do they have only mustard, but not ketchup in the table with the other condiments, so that you have to ask for it? Not your usual way things are at restaurants, but maybe this is usual for Los Alamos? This is in response to Patrick. We paid a similar price for a burger and fries at the Lodge at Pebble Beach, where I would expect to pay more for the location and prestige. Not expected these prices in Los Alamos. read more

The service was very slow. The food was greasy. We had to get our own cutlery after asking the server for them. The atmosphere is nice; however, outdoor signage would make the place more inviting and easier to find. read more

My family would eat here much more often if it wasn't so highly priced. Although the food is tasty (especially the nachos and truffle fries!) we just can't justify the price and end up eating elsewhere. The online ordering is typically pretty fast though, so it makes a good snow day dinner read more
