    My husband and I love Trombino’s and we stop here every time we are in Albuquerque. We had reservations so we did not have to wait long, we got a nice table and the ambience was great as usual. The food and drinks were amazing, especially the chicken marsala. One of our favorites.

    We used the BOGO Free email for our dinner. I had the salmon with baked potato and calabacitas while my partner had enchiladas with a relleno and fried egg. We shared the guac. He enjoyed his margarita while I sipped my delicious Sauvignon Blanc. The room was lovely and warm by the fire. Our waiter was very attentive which made our dinner and time at El Pinto all the nicer! Thank you for hiring such great staff. It's one reason we continue to go to El Pinto coupon or not. We highly recommend.
