    This place is so cute! We love Lily and Liam Bistro and we have been here to Upscale Rio one other…read moretime but we forget about it as it's back behind a bunch of businesses off of 528. If you know where Hot Tamales is, go behind it and hit Upscale Rio! First of all, this place has so many options of what I'd call comfort food and everything is good! They have shakes, desserts, yummy starters, mac and cheese, burgers and much more! What's my favorite thing? So many items are gluten free!! Hallelujah!! Even the burgers can be ordered with a gluten free bun! We also had a super sweet waitress! I had to go gluten free last fall and it really cut down on us eating out as most places have little to no options. Here, MOST things are gluten free!! Like what you may ask? Well, today I had chicken fried chicken, green chile gravy, mashed potatoes and fresh vegetables- a medley of corn, Lima beans ,bell peppers and red onions. They use a gluten free rice flour and the batter on the chicken was crispy and delicious!! They are also super generous with their portions so I took half of my food home and can't wait for dinner! I also had a double chocolate shake and a cold brew. They proudly brew Whispering Bean Coffee which is super tasty! My husband had the Green Chile Chicken Pot Pie and really enjoyed it and ate every bite! My mother in law had the Basic Cheddar Burger with fresh cut fries and raved about it. She also had a Key Lime Pie Shake. No photo of this, sorry! They normally have a gluten free fruit cobbler but they were out. I'll be back to try that for sure! All I know is I found a place that has super tasty gluten free options that I can't find anywhere else. I love you Upscale Rio! I'll be sharing this with all my gluten free friends! See you soon!! XOXO

Burger was cooked well and was filled with flavor! I got the steak fingers after reading reviews and unfortunately they were not good. The Steak fingers were covered in oil and tasted like the oil they were cooked in may have been older. The fries, shakes and service though were good!! I'll return but I'll get a burger instead.

    Look, you're going to die someday…read more That day will come just a bit sooner if you eat regularly at Big Boss Hotlinks, but oh what a life you will have lived until then! I tried this truck for the first time today, and my doors are blown off and my socks have been knocked off! The lady at the window was super friendly, and not in a fake, awkward way, but in a genuine, "I love everyone" sort of way. Anyway, I ordered 'The Duke' special, which is a lot of stuff I like: beef, hotlinks, caramelized onions, cheese, and green chile on a hoagie roll. She took my money, and I waited, thinking this was probably a mistake. I hadn't heard much about the place, but it seemed like with all those components, some of the weaker ones would bring down the entire sandwich. Boy was I wrong. The beef was beautifully cooked, with just a bit of pink showing, the hotlinks were smokey and delicious, the onions were soft and plentiful, the green chile had heat, and the cheese tied it all together into a beautiful gooey mess on a soft and inviting roll. I needed the extra fork she provided, as I 'got nasty' with it, caring less and less about what proper eating etiquette is, and more and more about getting it into my mouth as soon as possible. I'm not going to lie to you - this is not health food. Not even close. In fact, there really isn't anything I'd consider 'healthy' on the entire menu. If you're looking for something green, you've come to the wrong place. This food truck's menu is a carnivore's paradise, and it's going to cause long-term problems, but you know what? I live in the short term. It's greasy and brown, and just amazing. This would be the ultimate hangover food if I were hung over, which might just be the best compliment I can give the place. I'll definitely return.

    Friendly, fast and delicious! Tried their fish n Chips…read morespecial. My wife loved it. The Rainer was really good too. Great service & great food!

First off their food portions are huge and the service and atmosphere is so welcoming. I met several people that work there, and they're all incredibly sweet and friendly. Daisy, Rylee, Brandon, Arron, managers Shelby (amazing), and Johnny all of whom greeted me and their service is beyond super stellar. I ended up ordering a cheeseburger and fries off the kids menu just because the size is like a regular portion for an adult. Typically this place is packed, but I popped by on Friday afternoon when there wasn't as many people so I got all the attention! Lol, no but seriously Brekki is 5 stars--6 stars just for their attention to customers and quality of their work. Parking is pretty available, plenty outdoor spaces to eat or inside. I'll coming back here soon without a doubt.

The Saturday we came, we were lucky enough to get seated right away. They do have a nice variety for the menu. I had the Sweet Red Chile Chicken and it was really good along with the pickled veg. The potatoes were ehh, next time I might need to add an extra side or swap that out. The chilaquiles were also good, no complaints. We're willing to come back to try other tasty things off the menu. Service was a little delayed, our server was new and it was really busy. We live close by and would come more often if it didn't feel like you always have to battle for a parking spot.

The sunrise burger is still one of hubby's favorites in the city, and the fries are incredible. I tried the High Point Mac & cheese (green chile mac w/steak sliced on top) and yowza. So much flavor, and the steak was perfectly tender. The restaurant has food nailed. And our server was amazing. Unfortunately, th manager did a poor job estimating how busy they'd be on a Friday night, so the two servers were running ragged. The manager pitched in, but they were playing catch up with the silverware and we had to wait for it when the food arrived. Which, no biggie, but it was a fork when I had steak and my husband had a messy burger. So we right away asked for knives. I pointed out my steak, and the manager got snarky with us like she got it. But then she brought us butter knives. When I got up and went to the bar to ask for a steak knife, her attitude was even faker. I don't abide fake when someone's eyes and mouth clearly say they think you're stupid or annoying or both. As a manager, you learn how to school your face and keep people happy or you don't last in management long. Also, if she miscalculated staffing, then it should have been her job to get into the bathrooms and keep them presentable. They weren't. Paper everywhere, and the walls need some serious touch ups. It's hard for people to trust the food safety if the job-food public areas aren't kept clean and well-maintained, you know? We'll be back because the food IS awesome and we always have an enjoyable meal. But they definitely need to turn an eye toward building upkeep and service.

We were quickly sat and quickly greeted by our waiter, Kasey. He was very helpful and attentive all night. As stated the concept is tapas or shared plates. Now, you could order your individual plates but why? We started with the chicherrones and they weren't prepared like the usual NM style, but they were heavy on the fat, which was lightly fried and not quiet crispy, but the agave nectar sauce was a savior! Next we moved to the Gambas, which were simple and fried with the smoke paprika, but an unintended flavor was rubbing the Gambas with the agave sauce! You're welcome for the hack! Next, we tried the risotto and mushrooms, which was a burst of flavor but alone was a bit aggressive! I'm thinking it would be good as a side paired with some beef. We finished up with the pasta bolognese! It was delicious and a good end to the night! My wife had some drinks! Hibiscus and sangria! She enjoyed them. It was a bit pricey, but the ambiance was worth it. They had a great mix of music! I say flock!

It's solid New Mexican cooking by…read morea skilled artisan - notably tastier than most local places _even in spite of_ the fact that no animal products are used in the chile. Yes, the chiles are vegan. (So are the beans - pressure-cooked to creamy tenderness.) Yes, they're delicious - both the red (from pods!) and the green. (And, yes, it's me - noted grumpy traditionalist who usually wants an extra scoop of bacon grease in pretty much every dish - who's writing that.) The room is small, but well thought-out. There are nice little two-top tables outside along the sidewalk/patio in this pleasant part of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque. Lavender Cocinita is popular, with a steady stream of folks coming in - but I've never had a problem getting seated and I've never felt rushed (even when sitting a while, jabbering in the chile afterglow). (Free parking is plentiful in the area, but a little weird in the Los Ranchos pedestrian area: your best bet might be trying for street parking on Tyler Road, the E/W street just N of the restaurant.) The chef is friendly and will answer questions. The counter folks have always been friendly and kind: checking on us periodically. Really nice folks. It's an order-at-the-counter/pay/take-a-seat/they-bring-it-to-you place, but the service is good enough that you'll kick yourself if you don't tip heavier than usual for such an arrangement. Get your own water at the counter. Food is cooked to order (perfectly in all my visits thus far) and will take a few minutes to get to your table, but you'll be happy. Portions are always large (I leave full, and I'm a big eater) and the cost is on the low edge of today's pricing. The chiles are real-deal: they tend to be notably more piquant than at most places in town but they're real chile and vary in heat with the batch being served (I am used to and appreciate heat and one time the green was HOT!). As noted, the flavors are just wonderful. Bear in mind, NM red and green chiles are relatively simple sauces with few components: the artistry of the chef and the quality of the ingredients are absolutely vital to the flavor impact of the finished product served - and Lavender Cocinita absolutely nails this. Foodies have written the place up over and over, and they've won awards that would impress folks in the know in the short time (less than two years) they've been open. Without being melodramatic, this place gives a serious-about-the-flavors vibe that reminds me of those noted in places that have won James Beard American Classic awards. Lavender Cocinita is a reasonably inconvenient drive for me, but every time I've made it I've driven back with a grin and a vow to do it again soon.

I stopped by for lunch and found the menu offered a nice variety of choices. I ordered the Los Ranchos Turkey sandwich with homemade chips and a Lavender Iced Tea. Both were flavorful, and the homemade chips were an unexpected treat. The iced tea was ready right away and was a refreshing complement to the meal. My sandwich arrived about 24 minutes after ordering, which may have been due to the lunch rush. Including tip, lunch came to about $30. While the price point felt a little high for the overall experience, the quality and flavor of the food helped balance that out. Overall, I enjoyed the food and appreciate having another locally owned option in the neighborhood.

    "That's a dang good burger and some mighty fine fries!"…read more In need of beef, I & dining partner dropped into this Revel Burger on Golf Course Rd in west ABQ. I ordered their Combo Special and chose the ground beef burger and beer battered fries options, over the grilled chicken or chips choices. I added green chile and cheese to make it a de facto green chile cheeseburger. Drinks were sweet tea for me and water for today's partner, which were expeditiously delivered to our table as we waited on the food to arrive. Sweet tea was pretty ordinary and less sweet or tea flavored than most I've had. Kinda thin on taste. Burger & fries portion were plenty generous. The well stuffed bun came butter toasted from the flat top & required a good bit of jaw stretch to fit it all in. Burger patty appeared to be hand formed, was very nicely grilled, and had excellent flavor. Lettuce, tomato, & onion, plus a drizzle of their house sauce, were intelligently placed under the cheese topped patty in the sandwich. Thereby keeping the juicy patty from drooling & sogging out the bottom part of the bun. Which was only partially successful since the squeeze needed to eat the sandwich, coupled with the juicy fillings, made some sogging out inevitable. Green chile was rocking impactful flavor and a substantial spicy kick to match. It brought a lovely burn to the lips & tongue!! Beer battered fries came hot from the fryer, substantially crispy crunchy on the outside, tender inside, lightly salted, and really tasty. These fries could make Revel Burger a destination all on their own. Really noteworthy fries! Counter lady was welcoming and very efficient getting our orders taken. Premises were bright from wall of windows facing the road and clean. It shares space with a Pizza 9 so a faint aroma of pizza spices permeates the space, which can be confusing to the brain while you're eating a burger. Demerit for thin watery tea for me and partner being charged $1.69 for a bottle of water, then getting just a paper cup of iced tap water instead of an actual bottle of water.

We walked in, and the place was a little crowded, but we were still sat pretty quickly. I liked the atmosphere of the place because it seemed very open, inviting, and had a certain local charm to it. As soon as my dining companion saw the people around us getting their food delivered it looked so good she no longer remembered what we came for and we ended up ordering something completely different. We didn't wait long for our waitress to come over. She was very nice and attentive I asked her for a drink recommendations, and she mentioned some good ones. Considering the day before was New Year's Eve and I probably should've took a break from drinking, I said say screw it and got something light. It was a blood orange cider, and it was delicious, I was not expecting it to taste like that! Unable to make our minds up, we decided to split a salad and pizza. For the salad I wanted to get the Valley grande, but we compromised and got the brazos which was essentially a Caesar salad. That's how it was huge. We had enough to share and more, it was also tasty, the dressing. You could tell was definitely house made. For the pizza we decided to get a split half truchas and half chimayo (my half) and it was amazing the flavor was great and the topping fresh. Although next time I will ask for well done. On to dessert. The best thing we ordered all night was the Apple calzone. It seemed to be the size of a little football and came with two scoops of ice cream.
