They honor our Second Amendment rights!!! The location is nice, lots of well lit parking spaces. Even on a Saturday night, there was no waiting line. The wonderful ambiance is very New Mexico modern, casual dining. It's not very quiet, music playing overhead and sports TV's. Bathrooms are quaintly labels "chicks" & "dudes" and are clean. The menu is super New Mexico unique and the beer selection is all about local brews. What a great local restaurant. It was busy at 7pm, and we waited for only 3-5 minutes for service. After submitting our order, the food took about 10 minutes to come out. No excessive waiting. The waitresses were young and have room to grow in maturity. One was chewing gum. Another interrupted us during our conversation, and others were wearing short short skirts.

The Happy Hour tacos tasted like Happy Hour food. Nothing wrong with that. Their menu is outstanding, though. Our entrees were great. Definitely going back.

Fantastic menu- the appetizer menu is enough to keep you satisfied for days. Especially enjoyed the Crab Cake Tater Tot Bon Bons (with a delish Green Chili surprise) and the Red Chili Mashed Taters. Top it off with a Sandia Watermelon Cider. Yum yum!

We're still here but it's good so far. Update: it took two hours to get our food on a slow Sunday night. Not judging just saying. I'm going to reserve my stars till after I eat

4 of us had dinner here on a Friday night and it was a great experience. The hostess was very friendly and helpful. Our server was also very friendly, informed, and on point the entire 2 hours we spent there. There was a huge variety of beers available and we all got to have exactly what we wanted. We all had different entrees and everyone loved their dinners. The decor is great inside and the patio has wonderful views.

Very good place for dinner. The concept is unique and delicious. The food was solid. I had the combination platter (I can't remember the exact name of it). It gave me a overall sample of the cuisine. My wife had the brisket burrito which was very good also. Overall, recommend it. The service was fine and the atmosphere was good. Looking forward to going back to see if the restaurant can maintain a good level of food and service.

Great local beer selection that has a wide range of local options. Atmosphere is hip with a good mix or laid back and upscale between the indoor and outdoor areas. Tried a variety of tacos, most were pretty good except for a seafood one, pretty sure there was no seafood in mine. The avacado and mac and cheese tacos were good though. Staff was a little slow considering it did not appear to be very busy.

Started off with 5 stars. Awesome beer selection, different menu, and good atmosphere. Lost a star however due to food quality. Had the Sparta which is lamb, tzatziki, and pickled veggies with fries. The lamb was either switched out with sheep or the lamb was overcooked as it was dry and chewy. Lost another star because my fries were undercooked and had no salt. However, the bartender who served me saved the day. The beer selection was overwhelming, but he was willing to give me a few samples after asking my taste preference. And after my less than spectacular sandwich, he apologized and got me another meal. So props to the staff. Good place for a drink, don't have high expectations for the food though.

Great restaurant! We went in for dinner and had a great time! One of the best restaurants I've been to, taste wise, in a long time; in Albuquerque. Our service was average, but the food made this experience 5 stars. They also have a vast variety of beer on tap. This place has a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to anyone who's going on a date or taking their whole family.

I was skeptical about going based on reviews alone. My last experience was at the nob hill location, where we waited a long time to be acknowledged and food took a long time and they never came back to check on us. I went into the west side location as a skeptic with an open mind. As soon as we arrived we were greeted and sat right away, our server Juliana provided excellent service, the food was great and came quick despite how busy they were. I’ll definitely be going to the west side location more!

The place is lovely and big. Great atmosphere. My waitress was attentive and so sweet especially since we had s big party. Food was amazing and great selection of beer and wine. If you're looking for a full belly dinner this is the place to go.
