Dedicated fryer, and the owners have family members with Celiac. The Chile Rellenos are wonderful.

We love coming here for date night simply because it has gluten-free options and a great selection of hamburgers.

They have some gluten-free food options available, just ask. I was there to meet two friends from out of town and they raved about the fish and chips but I was not able to indulge due to my celiac. We arrived around 4 pm and it wasn't too crowded but the place was packed when we left. Overall, it was enjoyable for everyone in my group.

Buffett lunch for nearly 100 people; fresh salad and hot dishes. Nicely done. Several gluten free options (host and others needed gluten free). The room we were in was quite beautiful, fresh, alive. Felt like we were outside in the sun, but we were inside. Service staff were outstanding. Always close by without hovering. Quick service. Food was pretty good. However, the sopaipilla "walls" were quite thick. Almost like a slice of bread was flattened and deep fried. Not very enjoyable. Overall, though, one of my better visits to El Pinto.

I've been to both locations. The Santa Fe location I liked better. However, the Albuquerque better accommodates large groups. I recently went to the ABQ location with a large group, 30+ persons. We had 4 tables and 3 waiters/waitresses. Our waiter wasn't very attentive. However, he could have been overwhelmed by our group size... Some issues we had: We didn't receive sopapillas until the end of our meal, when we asked for them upon realizing all the other tables had some except for ours. We had to wait a while before being able to order our drinks and food. And asking for ketchup and extra napkins was a chore, we had to flag down our waiter. NOTE: Your bill automatically includes a 20% tip. So, even if the service isn't great, you have no choice but to tip at least 20%. I'm not sure how I feel about that.... As for the food, it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. There wasn't a whole lot of flavor. Regarding the menu: They had minimal vegetarian options. No vegan options. However, they were able to make some adjustments to the grilled veggie enchiladas for my friend so that it didn't include cheese. Gluten free options were not clearly specified. However, I just ordered a dish that used corn tortillas (chicken enchiladas). Overall, my experience is a 3/5. Not bad, but not great.
