PC's Restaurant & Lounge
"I visited PC's Restaurant & Lounge for lunch on Thursday, April 21, 2022. My hopes were high since the parking lot was loaded with cars. Note: post-Covid this restaurant is open every day from 11-2:30 PM for lunch, and 5-9 for dinner. They are closed Mondays and open at 9 AM on Saturday and Sundays for breakfast. Upon walking in, I noticed this is a very large restaurant with a spacious lobby, waiting area and small room with video games. The bar, to the right of the front door, looked long and had a few patrons. Inside, the dining area had dim lighting.I ordered the Thursday special, which was posted near a pig statue in the reception area. This included a red chile beef enchilada casserole, side of Spanish rice, and refried beans for $11. The enchilada casserole appeared to have been left over beef enchiladas compressed, mis mashed, and resold in a casserole. The chile had no heat and the rice tasted a bit flavorless. The free sopapilla tasted great and had a light and airy dough. My food had a lukewarm temperature. The food here is average New Mexican fare. No real heat to the chile and bland Spanish rice. Prices are okay, but you can get much better New Mexican food at other restaurants."
Tiwa Restaurant and Lounge
"I have a very special place in my heart for people that work on Christmas eve and Christmas day. I know there are many who are called to work because they were told to but you occasionally run across wonderful, good hearted people that truly love what they do and make a point to spread holiday cheer to their customers. The staff at the Tiwa Restaurant and Lounge were fantastic.We were visiting family in New Mexico and decided to stay at the Isleta Casino hotel since it was close to where the family lives. We rolled into the hotel and got checked in and looked around for dining options.The Tiwa Restaurant and Lounge was a perfect choice. Although we had Christmas dinner at the restaurant, I want to tell you about breakfast. Light, fluffy eggs, delicious eggs benny, huevos rancheros, corned beef hash and eggs, cinnamon rolls or Belgium waffles, this place hits the spot.Serving sizes were huge, flavors of red and green chile authentic and hash browns adorned every order. Located in the main lobby of the Isleta Casino Hotel, Tiwa restaurant and Lounge is the perfect travel stop for breakfast or a hearty lunch or dinner. The Hotel and Casino is a quick 20 minutes south of Downtown Albuquerque and less than 10 minutes from the Airport. Here's a great plan. Have a great breakfast at the hotel, and have the golf car shuttle take you across the street to the golf course for a wonderful day on the links.Whatever your choice of activity, go have breakfast at the Tiwa restaurant."
