Best Fun Restaurants in Albuquerque Acres West

Wonderful restaurant and stunning views! I wish there was clearer communication about how to get to the restaurant on the tram, I had been told from the restaurant instructions to arrive at least 30-45 minutes before my reservation but the tram runs frequently and it only takes 15 minutes to get up the mountain, I was 30-40 minutes early and they were booked and unable to take us earlier so I had to wait a bit, which is expected and not a problem but I thought that it would’ve been nice to not arrive that early as recommended. Food and service was amazing but please bring a warm jacket or winter coat as it’s -5 degrees sometimes outside the tram!!

Can’t say enough about one of the best local restaurants El Pinto Home from work at 6. Hopped on Open Table and made reservations for 7 So nice to have reservations because not all restaurants here accept them El Pinto was still lit up for the holidays when we arrived. Beautiful. With a hot piñon fire burning outside for guests to enjoy Great service with even better food A very special evening

We went on a Thursday night as a couple for a celebratory dinner. It was fun being greeted by Eddie the Gangster and hearing his story. The place was crowded but they got us a table close to the time of our reservation. You wait in the car until they text you that the table is ready. There was live, gentle guitar music being played and we enjoyed it all through dinner. We shared the crab cakes, a bottle of red wine, the filet mignon with baked potato and green beans, and a cinnamon roll cake for dessert. The server was attentive and pleasant. Very nice evening out. We'll be back!

Prompt seating, special in isolated alcove. Excellent menu with varied choices. Ordered drinks - green chile chicken stew, mussels, salmon. Servings were well prepared. Waiter was very good & attentive. One of our favorite restaurants for special occasions!

Our meal was delicious and service was good. I appreciated the effort in making my dessert special.
