    So this restaurant is close to my heart and family I did not show pictures of the food. Only because I want to encourage people to be brave and choose anything that you usually get when you are at a new Mexican restaurant. This restaurant was the original Gardunos restaurant. And there actually the Gardunos street that you can see in the parking lot. 😳 there are things that have changed but also a lot of original things have stayed the same. The food and service is very good the house margaritas very yummy. Please if your not getting a house margaritas ask the price one time I almost order a 30 dollar drink verses a 9.99 dollar😳😁 oops πŸ˜… 😬 😜 anyways my boyfriend and I went there with my Dad's just this Sunday night and everything was wonderful. Sorry normally I take so much more pictures but my Dad's fine it very disrespectful to have phones at the table😬 yes I know what happened to the Gardunos restaurant's. But my father was adopted by Domatillia Garduno the sister of David Garduno and she told me that her and her siblings use to sell burritos and food on the side of this road to help out there family. It's always been such a touching story to me how family and food can do so much in a community and can lead to bigger things in this case. Yes I do very much know what happened in the end. But besides all that people this place is beautiful and has history and great food and service.

    My Brother-in-law told us about this place. We walked in and was greeted by the friendliest person which turned out to be our server. Friendly and funny, I told him it was our first time there and asked for a sample of the Herrera enchiladas meat and he brought it out to me. Food was good like I mentioned I had the Herrera Enchiladas and my wife had the Taco plate, and it was delicious. Will be coming back to try the rest of the menu. Good job you guys.

    Worst taste of flavors in here. Enchiladas dip in red sauce with no taste. Rice all watery beans like there from last week. That ribeye taste awful and smell expired. Chicken has no flavor. Don't eat here!!! Am from Texas so our food has flavor not here though, the cooks must be white.

    The service was great and the food was good. We came right before closing so some of the food was cold but it was still very flavorful. The Salsa was very good.

    What a gem! Tucked away in an inconspicuous spot in the North Valley, this is one of the best restaurants I've found yet in Albuquerque. We sat in an adorable side sunroom, which they can the bar area, but the main dining room is gorgeous as well. The ambience throughout is done with care and attention to detail, and above all it smacks of an authenticity that most coastal restaurants can only dream of. And the food... the food! I had the best enchiladas of my life, a special called the enchiladas de herrera, and enchiladas are one of my all-time favorite dishes! The chicken pinon was also to die for! Excellent. Will be coming back for sure.

    08/12/2023......Server, (Erica) was excellent. She was friendly, attentive, and provided spectacular service. Did not have to wait long for my food. I had the chicken taco plate. Chicken was plentiful , juicy and well seasoned. Beans were as close to homemade as possible. The rice was so good, not dry and flavorless. The chips were hot and fresh, perfectly salted. They were not a package from the store. The salsa had just the right amount of heat. Sopapillas were fresh and hot. This place outdoes Sadie's by a long shot. I highly recommend. It's as good if not better than it's Cuba sister

    The restaurant is beautiful and nostalgic. The booths table pole is so big it's hard the get into the booth. But the overall environment was clean welcoming and the food was fresh. Looked good as well.

    Always delicious and our server, Kira, was super sweet and gave me a wonderful alternative to salty chips. Highly recommend the tableside guacamole.

    El Bruno's is a clean and friendly Mexican restaurant. We were greeted with friendly demeanor and seated well before the expected time frame. Service was prompt and officiant. The food was good, the portion size was perfect but the prices are a little high for what you are getting. Would we go back? Yes but we will continue to see what else it out there.

    Looking for a date spot on valentines day, we stumbled across El Bruno and they absolutely delivered. From giving us a nice private spot away from everyone else to the waitress being absolutely attentive we fell In love with the place. Their stellar menu was to die for as well. Will happily return!

    Excellent attentive service. Chile rellenos were light crispy some of the best I've had.

    Thought I would try it out based on a co-workers suggestion. The wife and I went on a Sunday afternoon so It wasn't very busy but our food took forever to get to us and our waiter never checked in on us from the time he gave us our menus to the time he brought the check, nothing in-between. We had no water and no extra napkins. The food was good but portions very small for the $47 our meal cost (2 people). when we did get our check it took another 15 mins before he picked our card up to pay. As we were leaving I stopped to wash my hands and my wife noticed why we got no service.Our guy was focused on the hostess and had no time for the customer. That was the first and last time we vist this place.

    Great interior to the restaurant! The staff on an insanely busy Friday night were helping each other out and working as a team. It was great! The food is delicious! Plus their salsa and guac don't have cilantro in it so for those folks who cilantro tastes like soap. This is the place to go! Margaritas are fabulous here! Including their coconut one!

    Showed up with 20 people on the spur of the moment and to our surprise they made room for all of us and provided excellent service! Our server Martin was amazing and did a septacular job. The food and drinks were on point as well. Moving forward this will be our go to place.
