Thank you golden pride east being open on Christmas Eve. We got our Christmas food through drive thru. Service was incredible quick. Got a family meal with 10pc of fried chicken, 1 pound of ribs, two large sides and 6 rolls; and 20 pieces of nuggets. The food was solid. Both fried chicken and nuggets were so crispy and juicy at the same time.

Great vibes with the music. The soda machines are awesome as you have so many options to choose from, and of course the chicken is always on point, unless you are craving for adobada burritos which are so yummy and hearty. Lunch and reading my homework I'm loving this mellow yellow limeade

The legends are true! Finally made it here and got the rib combo & sweet roll. I immediately wanted to come back to try a breakfast burrito. Both the chicken & rib were cooked perfectly & loaded with flavor. And let's not talk about how wonderful the sweet roll was. Service was extremely fast for such a busy restaurant. My only criticism is the decor needs a bit of refurbishing. I'll be back!

I had the Chicken Fillet Sandwich, and my friend had the 2 piece value meal with coleslaw and potatoe salad. We both enjoyed our meals very much. This restaurant was very busy, but it operated like a well-oiled machine. The food came out fast and was hot and fresh. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Great ribs-surprise- and Mexican Entrees and sides. A place I didn’t realize how big it was or how very uniquely decorated. Good food; and order from counter only. Take out and catering available.

This place is awesome. Prices are cheap and the food is delicious. The carne adovado burritos are phenomenal. The tortillas are all homemade. Cinnamon rolls are huge and amazing.

This may be the Hugest Golden Pride in Albuquerque. In the International District this facility has popular Drive Through but uf yiu go inside, Wow, it’s palatial.

I've cruised by this location for a while and have been wanting to try it. Today for lunch I finally dropped in. It's a great location and atmosphere for a meal and lives up to the legendary Frontier feel. Tasty, reasonable prices, consistent, and timely as usual. Friendly staff. Highly recommended!
