Best American Restaurants in Placitas

Can’t say enough about one of the best local restaurants El Pinto Home from work at 6. Hopped on Open Table and made reservations for 7 So nice to have reservations because not all restaurants here accept them El Pinto was still lit up for the holidays when we arrived. Beautiful. With a hot piñon fire burning outside for guests to enjoy Great service with even better food A very special evening

We did the preselected menus first two and it was amazing. I don’t care for squash but the winter squash soup could change that. Smooth, perfect temp and the garnish took it to the next level. Duck was perfectly prepared. Our serve was attentive with out being intrusive. Great evening

Wonderful atmosphere, nice fire blazing, wonderful service. Food was fresh, tasty and amazing presentation. I had not visiting Indigo in some time, but didn’t disappoint and will continue to return, highly recommend. Great people who own, manage and work there, top notch staff. Great wine list. Cheers!

We went for a Christmas dinner on Christmas Day & the food was AHmazing! The ambiance was nice & we also had excellent service. The chef made an amazing menu for dinner. Just excellent & a lovely meal.

We chose to dine at Blade's Bistro with our daughters who were visiting from out of state, even though it had been a while since my wife and I had patronized the establishment. We were met by a very friendly young lady who promptly seated us at a table set for three instead of four as reserved via Open Table. She quickly remedied the issue. Our waiter, Nick, introduced himself and set us off on a dining experience we will not soon forget. He displayed great humor, had good banter with the table and was so knowledgeable of the menu items and specials for the evening. He even talked us through the NM liquor options available for drinks. From the appetizers to the main courses ordered through the deserts, everything was excellent! I highly recommend Blade's for a wonderful night out.
