After a swing through CO, UT, AZ and NM I was pleasantly surprised to feast on a steak this good. Exquisitly cooked to perfection, if I did not know better I would have thought I was In Kansas City or one of the so called top ten steak joints. Definitely a keeper. Service was on par with the food. More

Ok, the resident family gives this place a great review. Add to that many reviews on TripAdvisor and I guess I was setting myself up for a disappointment. My green chili cheeseburger was OK, but nothing off the top end of the culinary charts. Wait staff was attentive but failed to bring the appetizer out until I reminded her that... More

I almost didn't rate the Monte Carlo for fear that we would not be able to get a table. Don't expect fancy -- just a bunch of pro's running the bar and restaurant. The Greek Chicken at lunch can't be beat, but half the time I just order the green chile cheeseburger with a Greek salad side. Either way, when... More

Traveling from Florida to California and stopped here. We went early around 3:30 PM. I liked the atmosphere and the food was excellent. My steak (14 oz. Ribeye) was juicy and perfectly prepared. Our waitress was friendly and prompt. The Greek Salad Dressing is very good and a must for me. My only regret is we'll not travel back that... More

Who doesn't love a place that has a velvet Elvis picture hanging? Superb food (Pork chops were heaven, french fries to die for), great strong drinks, friendly (with a hint of attitude which I love) staff. I will go every time I am in Albuquerque!! More

The burger is great! Try the Kabobs, they are wonderful as well. Steaks are hand cut and cooked as you order. Tender and tasty. The service is good too. Either on your way in or on your way out, have a drink at the bar. More

Stopped in and ate because a friend had heard about this place on tv. The food was cooked to perfection. The menu even let's you know their description for how the meat is cooked. We had the ribeye and it was fantastic. More

The steak house is in the back of a package liquor store, The Prime rib on weekend nights is HUGE - and you can cut it with a fork. Will go back time and time again. More
