Big announcement today. El Pinto will be taking over the space at the Albuquerque International Sunport that now houses Gardunos. Jim Thomas, one of the Salsa Twins and owner of El Pinto with his twin brother John, announced the move to the airport with TV reporter Kim Holland of KRQE 13. The City of Albuquerque awarded the contract to El Pinto. Soon El Pinto will begin remodeling the space to reflect a true New Mexico travelers welcome center.
Among the remodeling plans will be a display kitchen, a private dining space and plenty of fresh El Pinto New Mexican food to enjoy in the new dining room or to take with you on the plane. Plans include providing fresh tortillas and plenty of the famous El Pinto Salsa for you to get on your way to your travel destination or when you get home. The same great menu found at the original El Pinto will be availble a the airport location.
The whole idea behind the new El Pinto at the airport will be to feature New Mexican cuisine and culture to travelers from all over the world who come through the Sunport.
And here's a thought. When you get home from your trip, you won't have to wait very long to get your chile fix!
