In reply to Sally Moore. Hi Sally Let me be among the first to wish Dick a very happy birthday. It still irks me that we once lived in the same neighborhood and never compared notes or even met. There are four Vietnamese restaurants in Rio Rancho--Saigon 2, Viet Rice, Pho Bar and Pho Garden. Saigon 2 would be my choice for pho in Rio Rancho. It's a bit more capacious than Pho Bar and Pho Garden. Since you're willing to go outside Albuquerque, may I suggest Saigon City (4320 The 25 Way Suite 300)? Owners Sean and Kim are very kind and accommodating. There are only a few handicapped parking slots and a ramp that's easy to navigate. Needless to say, the food is wonderful. I'm publishing your commment so that other Visionaries from Rio Rancho can weigh in. Best, Gil

Help! My husband’s 90th birthday is approaching, and our daughter and son-in-law want to take him out for a celebratory dinner. Since I am no longer writing, my knowledge of current restaurant conditions is zero and I am coming to you for advice. Dick could have whatever cuisine he wants, but he is stuck on Vietnamese–namely Pho. What we’d need is:
Dinner at 4:30 or 5:00 for 4 people
Wheelchair accessible
Relatively quiet surroundings (he’s very hard of hearing)
Liquor license
We’re now living on the West Side at The Neighborhood, and needless to say don’t get out much, but the locale need not be confined to Rio Rancho. I just need high-quality Vietnamese. Many thanks in advance.

[…] shamelessly borrowed the format for this article from Gil’s Thrilling and Filling Blog to include about one restaurant a month–probably enough to include most of the best ones. […]
