El Patio Rio

Exceptional service and food. The wait staff was very kind and friendly. Even with the labor shortage being felt everywhere, the staff here maintains a positive and helpful attitude. Plus the food is wonderful. Love the smothered breakfast burrito!

BEST MARGARITAS EVER! An awesome place for locals. Have family who live in ABQ and they took us here. Great service too!

Being originally from Southern NM I'm often nervous trying Northern NM cuisine.. Really glad I found this place. Service was great, food was delicious and loved the super laid back environment..

This is a quaint, almost rustic neighborhood restaurant. Local art on the walls, friendly staff/servers with a laid-back New Mexico vibe.
I ordered the chili con queso with chips and I didn't go wrong. The queso was creamy with just the right heat to make it enjoyable.
For my entree I had the green chili chicken enchiladas with beans, and a side of sour cream. Dee-lish! It also came with a heavenly fluffy sopapilla made to perfection. Honey was already on the table and made for a perfect palette cleanser and dessert.
My only critique is they didn't have any light/low-carb cerveza. Just a minor hitch though.
My bill was $32 for the above. I will be returning but not frequently.

The food was “just ok” tonight, but the atmosphere is great and they have a giant outdoor patio. If you’re brave enough to sit inside, there’s a beautiful little kiva fireplace in the corner… I really love their chili Rihanna‘s but I’m not able to have them anymore so I had just a plain taco and again it just wasn’t great. The margarita was fabulous though! ;-)
