El Rialto Restaurant

We stopped here on the way from southern New Mexico to Colorado. We are on an ongoing quest for the best chile relleno—and unfortunately, this one didn’t earn that title. We ordered the chile relleno plate, priced at a somewhat steep $17, especially considering it only comes with one side. We chose beans and also ordered an additional side of Spanish rice. First impressions were strong. The plate looked appetizing, and upon cutting into the chile relleno, the batter was pleasantly crispy at first. However, as the meal went on, the crispiness completely disappeared. It became clear that there was simply too much batter. Worse, the batter didn’t add much flavor—it felt more like filler, tasting like basic fried breading rather than something that enhanced the dish. The beans tasted fresh,

100% the worst service I have had in quite a long time. Everything started off pretty well but quickly turned south once our waitress failed to check on us. Just mentioning that you have to pay $4 for bottomless chips and salsa which is free at most Mexican restaurants... we ran out of drinks and chips. Our waitress didn't come by to ask if we wanted more. When we finally got her attention, we were notified that they needed to go to the store to buy us more chips after one basket for 4 people. We asked for them to be removed from the bill as we did not want to wait. We were told that they would knock $2 off but that wasn't the correct thing to do if you offer something that you can't provide. We asked for the manager and her attitude was worse than the server. After speaking with her I was

Bartender was very friendly offered suggestions on what I should get for lunch and made a made a mean Bloody Mary.

We ordered for food at about 12 noon after 45 mins. we were informed our ordered was put in the last by mistake and asked us it will take another 15-20 mins. more. We were traveling cross states and we decided to stick with our order. Eventually our food was served at 1:13 PM. Food was nice, not excellent. But young man (sorry.. I couldn’t get our server’s name properly) was very helpful.

I was born and raised in Las Vegas and now I live in Albuquerque I manage a store in Las Vegas where I go out once a week. After finding out a couple days ago Rialto was open again my family was excited. I avoided taking a lunch after working a 12 hour shift excited to place an order for my family which would of been an easy $100 bill I call to place a carry out order to be told they do not do carry out orders for dinner time at 5:00pm. Wouldn’t it be easier to place the food in carry out boxes then to have to worry about Managing a table? That would’ve been an easy $30 tip as excited as my family was to eat. Rialto food. At this point, I don’t care how good the food was. I will not attempt to give them my service shame on you, Garcia family.
