El Pinto was established in 1962. Our restaurant is located in Albuquerque's beautiful North Valley. For nearly 50 years, El Pinto has been serving traditional New Mexican recipes from our grandmother Josephina Chavez-Griggs. Her devotion to all things green chile inspires us today to serve authentic New Mexican food. We are still the place for friends and families to gather, eat, and enjoy the enchantment that New Mexico has to offer. Come see why we're Albuquerque's favorite New Mexican restaurant!
Please come sit on one of our beautiful patios or in one of our comfortable dining rooms, eat some of our award-winning food and sip a margarita, or simply order our New Mexican salsa which is the flavor of New Mexico.

The Premier Party for "Re-Modeled" is at El Pinto with the star of the show Meghan Wiggans, a model who is from the "505" but is jetting from Paris to New York with her new-found career as a future supermodel. There are a very limited number of tickets available to the public. Email Doug@elpintosalsa.com to get on the list.
Re-Modeled, a new reality show by CW premiering during sweeps week, is hosted by Paul Fisher. He is a legend in the modeling industry, making his mark during the heyday of the "supermodel" era in the 1980s and early 1990s,. With his bigger-than-life personality and often brutally frank opinions, he earned his reputation as a star-maker through his uncanny ability to spot the potential superstar in a group of inexperienced young models. Now he's taking his passion for the business and focusing it on bringing small agencies from around the world together under his new venture called The Network. The Network will give Fisher the leverage he needs to change the industry from the inside out, with multiple missions in mind: to make sure the small agencies no longer get screwed by the big boys, to create the next generation of supermodels, and to empower those models to take control of their careers and lead healthier lives. Along the way, Fisher and his team will not only make over the offices of the agencies that join The Network, but will work with the owners and their staff members to find a true star in each market.
