We decided to have lunch at El Pinto. We arrived shortly after 11 and we were immediately seated. We got a nice table in the patio section. The atmosphere of this restaurant is unlike any other restaurant in New Mexico. I would say it is hands down when it comes to ambiance, that it is the nicest restaurant New Mexico has to offer. They have several fountains, greenery, and they have a rustic look. I even noticed a hummingbird feeder, a nijer seed feeder, and a suet feeder. I like that they feed the birds on the patios. Our server greeted us, took our drink orders, came back with our drinks, and then took our food order. We all ordered off of their lunch menu. Our food came out quickly, and it was warm and delicious. The server then dropped off our sopapillas. Our service was great. We were even greeted by one of the house cats as it strolled by. The restrooms were very pretty and clean. I don't eat here very often, and after a meal like today, I realized I need to make some changes. read more
