Rio Grande Social

Like my previous review, you cannot go wrong with brunch here :)The brunch options are unique and packed with so much flavor! They start at $12 and go to $17. I admire the ambiance of the restaurant most. The enormous windows bring in beautiful natural lighting, and bring out the architecture. On Sunday morning, it was a full house, but we got seated upon arrival. Again, beware of the parking, it can be tight.

First time at Rio Grande Social. I was so embarrassed for them when they brought this $15 burger out medium well. I would have been better off at Burger King so disappointed. Great ambience- will not return.

Well it's good not great. The vibe is meh went to lunch on a Saturday. It feels like they are trying for a high end sports bar. The sound certainly does not match the aesthetic. The food. Chips and salsa & the 505 burger. Green Chile cheese with their special sauce and I added mustard to it. Couldn't taste the house sauce it was just a small dab of sauce. The green Chile and cheese was a good portion the meat patty to bun ratio was kind of small. The burger as a whole was pretty good 8 out of 10. The fries were really good! I wouldn't mind trying those green Chile cheese fries next time! The chips and salsa were a no go it's pretty hard to screw up salsa in Albuquerque but they did. The green one was good, that red one was horrible. Over all stay away from the chips and salsa. Service was good. We got seated fast and attentive.

A great social spot for a drink and a meal.The good stuff... the restaurant is nice, clean and spacious with nice details and variety of seating options. The bar is very pretty with good options, often a drink special(s) available. The menu is small but the food quality is good, and not just for a "bar". The pretzel fondue, salmon fish n' chips, street tacos, hangover burger and pineapple whip are our favorites. Not to mention, the service is always very friendly.The other stuff... parking can be tough so you may need to park across the way. If you can, choose a soft seating area. Also, temperature runs a little cool.We've only experienced dinner but hear the breakfast is very good too.

This place is new, when you walk in there are TV's with games on almost everywhere. Staff was polite and sat quickly. The parking is kind of tight but can also park off to the side. There is an outdoor area for when the weather gets better. The bar has this amazing lighted table top. Have to check it out. In the restroom there are lighted and heated mirror, I would like that at my house . The food sounds great when you read the menu. The fries are battered and wish the size was larger. Burger is on par and while a lot of other smash burgers can be dry this was not. Lots of juice and great taste.

What a great new place! Very clean TV and dining area. Lit up bars and bathroom counter tops. The food was on point! Our server was really friendly and chatted with us for a while. Highly recommend stopping by!!!

Nice atmosphere. A notch above pub food. Reasonable prices. Service was attentive. We will go back!

Finally got to try the new westside spot! So glad I did. Got the 505 burger with beer battered fries. I asked for grilled onions which was done with no extra charge. Burger was juicy and huge! It's a smash burger and all the flavors came together perfectly. Fries wereCrispy! What more do you need...Endless drink options and a great tap variety. Lots of TVs for the games and they purchased the NFL package for the season!Ambiance was spacious and modern. Seats were comfy. I'll be back soon!

This is a really fun place to go. They have tons of local brews and fun cocktails. We had their nachos and pizza which were both very tasty! We also had pineapple soft serve for dessert which was honestly better than Disneylands! The staff is fantastic. They got our food and drinks out very fast and were very friendly. There's also a big screen TV that would be great for watching a game on. 10/10 recommend. I'll definitely be back.

This was our first time visiting this restaurant / bar. We didn't know it was already opened, because we had been seeing it still being constructed. Decided to come in to try it out! This review contains experience from brunch & lunch.We visited on a Sunday morning, last week thinking that lunch was already being served. Just know that the parking lot is only one way in, so best of luck trying to find parking when you get here. Thankfully, we found a space close to the front entrance.We were greeted by friendly staff and our waitress was great as well. Like I said, I thought we were going to eat lunch, but instead it was brunch. Which wasn't that bad, although we were really looking forward to lunch. The brunch is served Saturday and Sunday's from 9am to 12 Noon. I'm sure there are other places for brunch, but this by far was the best!The brunch menu offers a little bit of all those breakfast options. It was really hard to make a decision on what to try. And their libations were pretty extensive. Offering even a $5 cocktail menu, this is a plus! We opted to try some Jack & Coke. Our waitress was great, she knew it was our first time but had to explain that the regular menu doesn't start till after 12 noon. And we for sure did not want to wait another hour to eat. It was fine to go ahead and order what they were offering on their brunch menu. She did make some suggestions that were really helpful.We decided to order the Red Velvet Pancakes and the Breakfast Taco Trio. The Red Velvet pancakes were just the pancakes, which came with this delicious cream cheese and maple syrup. It was really tasty! I think if I had ordered the Social Platter that came with the bacon or sausage hash browns and eggs I think I would've been too stuffed to eat all my pancakes. Because they were so good! I definitely recommend the Red Velvet Pancakes.The other entree we ordered was the BreBreakfast Taco Trio. This came with a bacon & cheese taco, pork belly taco and a chorizo taco. That was really flavorful and we enjoyed that too! The red and green salsa that was served with it was delicious too!We definitely want to come back and try more of the brunch menu next time! We heard good things about the other entrees on the brunch menu. So this place is definitely worth trying out!As for the lunch menu, we did try it just this past weekend. Again, it did not disappoint. We had great service! Our waitress gave us some suggestions on food and drinks. We decided to give the Rumhaven Sociallite Whip Shot, oooh that was delicious! If you've ever had Dole Whip in Hawaii this is it! Served just like a float but with rum in it. Yummy!For the food, we tried the Nachos and the Salmon Fish & Chips. Mmm, the nachos were good because it was served with the white queso! Not that yellow stuff you get at the other bars. We enjoyed the beans and roasted jalapenos. We also enjoyed the Salmon Fish & Chips. The Salmon was delicious served with a garlic lime aioli. Just thinking about it while writing this review makes me just want to go there right now and order that. LOL!All in all, both Brunch and Lunch experiences were good! I hope they continue to have this type of experience, because I would love to come back again and try more items on their menus! Thank you!
