Best Southwest American Restaurants in Placitas

We had an excellent “before Desert Chorale performance” meal at Pink Adobe and it was simply amazing. The enchiladas - chicken for one of us and shrimp for the other. Both were some of the best enchiladas we have ever had (and we have eaten our fair share of enchiladas). The shrimp were probably the better of the two if we had to choose. They were cut in to chunks (easier to take a bite), seasoned well and flash fried. So tender and juicy! Paired with a crisp Albariño it made a great dining experience. We’ll be back soon!

We had the most lovely dinner at Zacatlan. Our server was just the most gracious and hospitable man. The food, as always, was amazing (do not miss the cochinita pibil), but the feeling of warmth and hospitality is something missing from so many restaurants now, but not at Zacatlan. Highly recommend for both food and ambience.

We used the BOGO Free email for our dinner. I had the salmon with baked potato and calabacitas while my partner had enchiladas with a relleno and fried egg. We shared the guac. He enjoyed his margarita while I sipped my delicious Sauvignon Blanc. The room was lovely and warm by the fire. Our waiter was very attentive which made our dinner and time at El Pinto all the nicer! Thank you for hiring such great staff. It's one reason we continue to go to El Pinto coupon or not. We highly recommend.

Great meal, wonderful service, attentive staff. We celebrated a birthday with 8 of us. I had requested a quiet area and they delivered! The waitstaff serenaded our birthday guest and provided flan with a candle and a hat! The seafood fajitas were outstanding as were the beef, every dish was presented perfectly. We especially enjoyed the prickly pear margaritas. Sopapillas are not to be missed for dessert. None of us had dined here in the past, but this will be our new tradition! Don't miss the tableside Guacamole, the best I have had yet in New Mexico.

Very good food. Never disappoints! Beautiful restaurant
