Fun fun fun on a Friday night for karaoke and a drink. I had wine and a Green Chile Cesar Salad with chicken. The salad was delicious!! The green chile had just enough kick for a salad and the chicken was flavorful and moist. My sister had their fried avocado strips and loved them. The service was pretty darn good even though the place was pretty packed. I like that it is in the middle of the city for everyone's convenience. I will definitely be back. Cheers! read more

Food was mediocre and the service was bad. I had to flag down our server when we needed anything. It wasn't worth what was charged, even with the discount for staying at the hotel. read more

We stayed at the Best Western and breakfast was included at Wild Avocado. Service wasn't the speediest. Our server was new and learning the ropes and she was friendly. I ordered the daytimer or something like that, two eggs over medium with carne avodado, which I'd never heard of, and a corn muffin. The eggs were cooked properly and the pork sauce was delicious! The corn muffin was of the sweet variety. The furniture is quite nice and looks handcrafted. I also learned about Biscochitos, the New Mexico state cookie. Simple and delicious with cinnamon, sugar and anise, they were crumbly and delicate. They had a basket of the cookies at the hotel desk for $1 each, made by a staff member using her family recipe. It's nice that the hotel breakfast included some regional food and this made it an enjoyable meal. read more

Excellent food just had their breakfast. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Had their French toast with sausage and eggs.

Food was amazing and service was friendly. We got the Berry salad and Southwest salad with margaritas and it was so fresh.

We stopped here after everywhere else was closed almost. We had low expectations Cause it is an inn restaurant. We waited a little more than what we expected, probably means they bake the food fresh, which is a good thing. The food was represented real good and everything tasted perfect, except the meat. We ordered burgers and we all agreed the meat they had was not the best. But I you get what you pay for. Overall I was happy and I would recommend this place for ppl like us who want to grab a bite with decent quality! The servant was polite and nice. We liked it here. Thank you Wild Avocado. read more

Wild Avocado Cork & Tap - Wild avocado burger - Mexican Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Wild avocado corking tap restaurant inside Best Western Albuquerque. Restaurants and bars are also about expectations, what type of bar and restaurant are you going to? And everyone is under staffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working, basically get in the habit of overtipping. It's a nice looking restaurant, and it definitely had a family-friendly vibe. It has that Southwestern flair to it and it's part of the hotel I stayed at and I did get a free vouchers for breakfast but it did mean the breakfast was not good I enjoyed a hatch green chili breakfast burrito, with bacon one morning, A traditional scrabble eggs and bacon toast breakfast another morning and a a little bigger breakfast with with eggs bacon and pancakes for another morning. I did eat out most nights for dinner but on my 1st night i arrived late and I ate dinner at the hotel in this restaurant and and it had some wonderful housemaid tamales that were stuffed with the seasoned chicken and covered with a really nice Green Chile, it came with rice and bean's. Every time I was there the food was served relatively quickly and it was hot and delicious! TiP I would tell you like other hotels that it can be very busy in the morning so you have to either come early or you have to be ready to be wait a little or if you're retired and and don't have a schedule come a little later but be patient with the staff because they're gonna be really pushed with a lot of people coming in enough for breakfast, You could always ask if it's gonna be a real busy time in the morning and if it is there are plenty of really good places for breakfast nearby. read more

This is the on-site restaurant for Best Western Plus. We stopped by for breakfast this morning and after we were sat, we waited for over half an hour before asked the passing host to take our order. They were not busy, and had many open tables, but the waitress looked very overwhelmed. After we flagged down the host, he asked a new server, Jazmin, who was coming on shift to take our order. She was very helpful and a good waitress. The food was pretty good, both Chiles are vegetarian. Just be warned that the wait time can be VERY long. read more

We had the occasion to spend a couple of nights, with siblings, in Albuquerque. The waiter, Michael, knowing this was a special visit for us, made sure we had a wonderful time. The food was authentic for New Mexico. Spicy, zesty and very good. As it was part of the hotel, the surroundings were pleasant and accommodating. We all felt very welcome. Staff for both the hotel and restaurant were FANTASTIC. read more

Good food. Nice atmosphere. Nice to have a cafe and bar located in the hotel. Dining room employees are helpful and friendly.

Ate breakfast here while staying at Best Western on a road trip. The food was good - nothing to blow your socks off - nothing to write home about... but the service was excellent. Our waiter (forgot his name) was a young man that grew up nearby. He was very engaging and shared a lot of local knowledge. He made the visit worth three star of the four stars in my rating. read more

Was worried when we saw the place was empty, but the food was very good and very reasonable.

I stayed one night here and ate dinner since it was attached to the hotel. We ordered chips and salsa, Sandwich, quesadilla, and enchiladas. The food was okay. If your not at the hotel, I would suggest finding a different place. However, the pros are it's attached to the hotel, the place is clean, and the staff is friendly. read more

Had the sirloin dinner last night. Cooked to perfection. Nicoyia, our waiter was amazing. That's probably a terrible spelling. Sorry

I got the handmade tamales. You get two of them with beans and wild rice for $11. I asked to try the red and green chile. Before getting it on my food the green chile is good more heat than the red. the red chile has a really good deep rich flavor to it. The atmosphere I think is here a little better here in the wild avocado then it was under the other name.. chips and salsa are Free here. Some restaurants charge and some do not. read more

Conveniently located at the Best Western Plus Rio Grande made our LONG drive to New Mexico worth it. Called in our order; within 30 minutes we we consuming and delicious it meal in our room; Covid safe. My family raved about each of their choices; chicken wrap, BOTH pasta dishes and the burger. Highly recommend not only the hotel but this restaurant. When we pass through again we will make it a point to return for this wonderfully delicious food. read more

My husband and I ordered dinner here last night after a long 10 hour day of driving as well as breakfast after staying at our amazing hotel ! Both the supper and early morning breakfast was freaking amazing ! I especially loved the fried avocado- have never had it before and it was so tasty ! The waitress that took care of us for our breakfast meal was a beautiful human being ! She Welcomed us with a big smile and a welcoming good morning - she provided us with excellent exceptional service ! I'm still giving this amazing establishment 5 stars even thou the gentleman that gave us our to go dinner the night before wasn't as good - my salad was flipped upside down in the box - my husband huge burrito was also upside down ? Not sure what he did but he wasn't as good or as careful as the breakfast waitress ? I'm not sure if it was because he was new or young but he needed to be more careful with the to go orders as presentation is everything - the food was still good thou ! Do I recommend this restaurant? I absolutely do --- great tasting food -reasonable prices and the breakfast server was amazing read more

Worst salmon plate ever. The rice was not even warm, salmon tasted as if it was reheated and half cold. When I asked the waiter if they reheated these foods in the microwave he just answred that at the end of the night they use up the same food already made for customers. Freaking disgusting !! Explains why it was ready so fast! Never again. read more

My family and i placed a takeout order here which consisted of 8 things. We were the only people in the restaurant and sat and waited patiently for our food for 20 minutes. We got our food and took it back to our hotel, only to find out that they messed everything up. The two sides of spanish rice we ordered were nowhere to be found, the fajitas came without tortillas, the berry salad came with spinach instead of subbed for romaine like I'd ordered, one of the fajita salads was supposed to be chicken but instead we got two steaks, the dressing didn't come on the side for every salad like we'd specified, and even though I called and complained about how much the kitchen screwed up, they won't refund me. It is absolutely mind boggling how a restaurant can screw up that much of an overall very simple order. It's like the kitchen staff skimmed the order ticket and took their damn time making and packing up the shittiest takeout order ever. The food we got wasn't even worth all the fuck ups; it was mediocre at best. This is genuinely ridiculous and I will never be coming here again. Fuck you Wild Avocado. You're a shitty excuse for a mexican restaurant and now have an enemy in me. read more

I stayed at the Best Western Rio Grande Inn for four nights and while there visited this restaurant for breakfast every morning of my stay and once for dinner. The complimentary breakfasts included in my hotel stay were fine. They have multiple options to choose from and the meals all come with coffee, tea or juice. I wouldn't recommend coming for breakfast if you're not a guest at the hotel. One night I decided to come down for dinner as it was late and I didn't want to go out. I got pasta and it was not good. I had a few bites to take care of my hunger pains and tossed the rest. I'd recommend skipping this place unless you don't have any other options. read more

We stayed at the Best western, wanted authentic NM food. This was just so so. There are a few very good restruants near here but they were all closed at 8 pm on a Saturday night. What is up with that?? read more

I am writing this because there were no Yelp tips or reviews on this place when we looked this place up and I reeeaally wish there had been. Jump to the bottom for more serious stuff. We were finished with some appointments when the combination of hunger and free time came together. We talked about options and decided to let the Entertainment Book be our guide. Albuquerque Bar & Grill won the choice and we talked about past experiences as we drove toward the Old Town area. She thought she remembered it being in another location years ago and I added that I'd had a great salad topped with strawberries there a few years back. One important detail was that there were NO Yelp reviews or tips on this place. We arrived to find we had beaten the rush. It was a Muzak filled void and we were the only ones in the place. A bit of breakfast was still visible on the dishes left on a table near the door. Perhaps the busboy called in sick today. We were seated by a fairly friendly waiter who took our drink orders and gave us menus. We would learn that his new favorite word is: "Boss". "Get you something to drink, boss?" "Ready to order, boss?" There are not too many choices on their menu, as you can see by the photos we took of them. That does not mean the food won't be amazing, so we decided to forge on. We asked about the soup of the day. A bean variety that didn't grab us, so I let him know I was on the fence and thinking about the enchilada or the tamale plate. Which would he suggest? He said he wasn't sure. I asked if he'd eaten the tamales and he said he had. Then silence. He looked at us. My friend asked if they were red or green inside and he said green. So I asked how he eats them. He said smothered in green chile or with lots and lots of salt. OK. (That was a big clue I missed) Smothered it is. My friend ordered the portobello sandwich. Then we noticed that my fork had not been washed since it's last use. No harm, it's easily replaced. As we waited on our meal, it struck me that half the room was barren. There are nice wooden shutter and things to the rear, but the room felt oddly more suited to holding the complimentary cereal & yogurt in morning. At a table in the center of the room sat a man who appeared to be the head chef. Baggy gym pants & white chef top and a chef cap trying to hold in braids or dreads led me to that conclusion. He and a lady who seemed to be management greet two women who joined them at the table and began to talk about new menus, signs and so on to bring in more business. Not the wisest choice for a business meeting. Especially when the cook is showing 10 inches of Butt Crack! Wow. Ok. So we don't look that direction! Food arrives and looks ok, but taste is terrible. My 1 1/2 tamales (shoulda been 2) was mostly masa, helped out only by the cold, weak green chile sauce. Beans & rice were unseasoned, bland and buried in colby-jack cheese. Her plate looked fine but lacked any bread and was drowning in vinegar-something. Just awful. The fries were not bad but the good looking veggies on plate were also soaked in vinegar. The upside is that we paid, left and went to a great place called Which-Wich! To the owners & staff: You are a local business and we tried to support you. Your food is what needs to change first, then worry about marketing! Remember, your location means you will feed many precious visitors to our City and your food should represent us well. Please strive for excellence!! I did not give 1 star because bathroom was clean, server was not rude, food did not make us ill and I'm encouraging improvement. read more

This place was an utter disappointment. It is attached to the Best Western Rio Grande Inn (wonderful hotel). The hotel gives you a $5 voucher per person to this restaurant upon check in. On 1/3/14, after driving over 12 hours, we checked in to the hotel and decided to eat at the Albuquerque Bar & Grill for dinner (saving our vouchers for breakfast) to avoid going back out in the cold. We waited to be seated and were quickly helped and seated to a table. At the time, there was one family of four dining and a couple came in about 5 minutes after we did. There is a bar adjacent to the dining area with a door that divides it completely (that was open). It took a long time to get our food ordered, despite the lack of customers and them having two servers. When the waitress finally arrived I ordered the adovado burrito (one of my faves after eating at Sadie's a few times now) while my husband ordered some pasta dish. We waited a long time for our food. At this point, the family that was sitting there had already gone and there was us and the other couple. From the bar, a loud, obnoxious, obviously drunk man kept screaming and making tons of noise. His annoying antics kept on through the remainder of our meal and the service did nothing to close that door or tell the man to quiet down. Once the food arrived, the greatest disappointment was prevalent. My husband's pasta, which was unappetizingly green (the name of the dish escapes me) looked as gross as it tasted. It was made with pesto, but everything else in it was green too and not good. My burrito was terrible. The beans were dry, the meat lacked flavor and was very fatty, and the salsa was disgusting. They have pies displayed at the entry and a slice sounded delicious after the terrible dinner. I asked for a slice of apple and out came this luke-warm mess. It had a good flavor, but later we discovered we were charged $6 for the slice, not the $4 advertised on the sign. We were never offered a refill the entire time we were there. IF YOU CAN AVOID IT, DO NOT EAT HERE FOR DINNER! After dinner, if I could have given this place zero stars, I would have. But in order to use our vouchers and get out on the road quicker, we decided to go back for breakfast (hoping it would be different, of course). I ordered a breakfast burrito that was actually delicious and my husband had some eggs. Breakfast was fine, but again slow and we were never offered refills. At this point, I would be happier with the make-your-own-plate atmosphere of a continental breakfast that other hotels offer. read more

The food was decent. The waitress seemed bored. The appetizer plates were dirty and my sandwich was missing an ingredient. But the most disturbing aspect was the gangbanger who, apparently, works there as he had access to the kitchen. He paced up and down the restaurant with his pants so low we could see his pull ups. No thanks, not gonna subject myself to this again. As we leave, more gang bangers sitting in cars outside in the parking lot. Whoa... read more

After reading the previous reviews, I can say that things must have changed. The service and food were both fantastic, for breakfast and dinner. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Came here for breakfast, since the attached Best Western gave us complimentary breakfast vouchers. It was crowded at first, but cleared out after we sat down. We ordered with no issue, but waited for over 25 minutes before we could even flag our waitress down (so much for a coffee refill). As soon as she got to the table, she rudely says "If you're asking about your food, we're doing the best we can." My husband asked why people that arrived 15 minutes after us already had theirs, and she said "Well I don't know about them. We're having a hard day already" and walked away. Needless to say, we left and will not be returning after wasting an hour of our vacation here. read more

I would give zero stars if possible. First we were told if we couldn't get a seat at the table with our group we would have to wait 20 more minutes to be seated. I pointed out there was a table right next to our group, but the 15 year old girl running the operation was not to be reasoned with. So we left as our tour group was leaving in less than an hour. On our departure we spoke with the hotel manager who promptly retrieved the restaurant manager for us to speak with. I explained the situation with her and all I got was we are short handed. That didn't explain why we could seat with our group if they had a seat, but if not we had to wait. The manager became combative and I told her the only recourse I had was to leave a review, so here I am now doing it. Also she talked rudely about me as i walked away to the hotel manager.. Eat here only if you want to be treated like crap by people and management who clearly only show up for a check... read more

Avoid this restaurant as there are so many better places to eat in Albuquerque. It's one redeeming quality is being open later than most.

I am an over the road truck driver and stayed here one night. They have truck parking. Really nice hotel. Super friendly staff and the Mexican restaurant down stairs is absolutely amazing. I got a big burrito with green Chilli in the inside. Ask for Johnathan he is a super great guy. read more

Terrible experience with the Wild Avocado restaurant manager. Apparently the hotel made a mistake in not giving me the breakfast vouchers I was supposed to receive at check in as a Best Western Rewards Member. The next morning I went to breakfast and was asked if I had a voucher. I had no idea what they were talking about. The hostess said I would have a green voucher if I was part of "the tour group". I told her I was not with a tour group, I was there on business. So, they gave me the menu to use if one did not have a voucher. So, I ordered off that and had to pay for breakfast. One of the other people there in my group joined me and had vouchers. He said that he got vouchers because he was a BW rewards member. I asked the hostess if that was true and she said she didn't really know because the restaurant and hotel are "separate". As I was leaving, someone who was apparently the manager said I could go to the desk and see if I could get the vouchers. I told her I had to leave and get to work, so I said I didn't have time right then to do it. However, once I got back in the afternoon, I did go to the desk. The hotel desk said they did make an error in not giving me vouchers, and gave me the vouchers I was supposed to get as a BW rewards member. The next morning, I tried to get the restaurant to refund the value of the voucher back to my credit card. The manager was very rude and refused to do it because it occurred yesterday and since I didn't skip work to address it then, she wasn't going to do anything. I went to the hotel desk to see if they could help and they said there was nothing they could do because the restaurant was "separate." Terrible customer service. read more

We stay here once a year for a conference and sadly this place never improves. As the other reviews mention, the service is terrible and the food is mediocre at best. My dining companion and I ordered two house salads as well as she got a cup of soup. It nearly 40 minutes to receive our food and it took our server two trips to bring it out to us. Whomever manages this Best Western location would be well-served to replace their entire food and beverage staff. Unless you are staying at this hotel, take a pass on this place. read more

For a place I see driving by the free way on old town district which has some of the best restaurants in the city, I figured why not try it. Service wasn't too bad, every one was nice how ever you only had two servers for the hole restaurant so ended up waiting a while. Drinks were limited and more than likely were out of anything you were trying to get or they said they had. Food was terrible, could taste stale chips with the chips and salsa, and my burger was somthing old from the freezer and then way over cooked. Looking at it it was a bar and grill inside a best western holtel, so the quality was that of a free continental breakfast. This will be my last time eating or drinking there that's for sure. read more

Ate here because we stayed @ the Best Western. I looked @ the reviews and they were terrible but still decided to eat here because we were tired and did not want to drive anywhere after being on the road all day. First off ordered a coctail -mojito (bar & grill right). Was told he wasn't sure the bartender read more

This restaurant is attached to the Best Western. The food is quite good and the service is very friendly. The hotel provides a voucher for a sit down breakfast. It was so much better than the crummy food available at most hotel breakfasts. We also had supper here and the Chili Relleno was very good! read more

OMG, the waitress thought she was funny this morning when she "joked", look for some spit in your food! WTF? No wonder Best Western gives the free coupons, who in their right mind takes this abuse? Stems in the food and threat to spit in the food? Ughhhhh! read more
