“This was our first visit to Santa Fe and the Coyote Cafe was a stand out for us. So much so that we dined twice at this establishment. The food was excellent. We tried the elk, mussels posole, and the Elote ravioli. The service was outstanding on both visits. We would highly recommend the Coyote Cafe to anyone looking for a fine dining experience.”

“There is nothing we don’t love about this restaurant. The food is “real” New Mexican with some excellent special touches by the chef. The ambiance is wonderful, and the decor is authentic. Even the music is well selected and at a volume that enables pleasant conversation during the meal. The staff is helpful, responsive and friendly. A special shout out to Daniel, who is appropriately attentive and professional, always with a smile. Already looking forward to our next visit!”

“This place is a must try for foodies. While my server didn't provide the level of wam hospitality that I'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber, he was quite attentive through my meal. I would be remiss if I did not say that the busboy and busgirl bringing out my plates were superb and much friendlier than the server. Their famous duck fat fries were spot on loved my lamb lollipop, too. The rabbit bolognese lasagna, not so much: I guess I didn't care too much for the texture and taste of it. Negroni cocktail was spot on and Cloud Cake, their Italian meringue cake, has to rank as not only the best dessert I had in Santa Fe, but the best dessert of 2024 period.”

“I recently planned a private dinner for 25 executives at Restaurant Martin, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The private room beautifully blends indoor and outdoor elements, featuring garage doors that open to create a lovely, airy atmosphere. The lighting adds a sophisticated touch, setting the perfect mood for our gathering.
The food was nothing short of delightful. Each dish showcased sophisticated flavors and expert presentation, making it a culinary highlight for all our guests. The menu offered a range of delicious options that pleased even the most discerning palates.
What truly set the evening apart was the knowledgeable service. The owners and staff were attentive and well-informed, guiding us through the menu and ensuring that every detail was perfect.
If you're looking for an upscale dining experience in a stunning setting, Restaurant Martin is the place to go. Highly recommend!”

“Amazing food, service and music! Venezuelan here living in NM and this is very close to Hispanic taste! We ordered Salvadorian Tostadas and Mojarra Frita as main dishes and nachos as appetizers! Everything was fresh and very good! The chip and salsa they serve is pretty good as well! If you are ever in Santa Fe and feel like eating Hispanic food, this is definitely the place to be!”

“I had a nice lunch here. All servers are quite attentive and friendly: couldn't ask for better service. Butternut squash soup was pretty delish and I liked their stuffed phyllo app, too. For my combination platter, I chose lamb stew, chickpea stew and chicken curry. Flavoring was spot on but the meats weren't particular too fresh. Also their rose wine was more on the cheaper side of things. Coconut cardamom flan was a nice touch and a fitting way to end my meal.”

“If you are in Santa Fe you absolutely have to visit Tres Colores! We were up there with family and friends for my dad's internment in the national cemetery. There were 13 of us that showed up for lunch without calling ahead. The space is small but they didn't even bat an eye. They quickly slid tables and chairs together and seated us. Service was excellent and the food was some of the best I've ever had. The presentation was beautiful and flavor was phenomenal. I don't think I will ever be satisfied with nachos from anywhere else. It was so well balanced. I am grateful for the hospitality they provided and will always remember this experience.”

“I’m not a big fan of pasta but my husband is, we found this place while walking around downtown and exploring a bit, and we decided to tried. OMG this blow up my mind, mac&cheese here is DELICIOUS, if I wanna eat pasta I’m definitely coming back here, I don’t mind driving 4-5 hrs. Me and my husband ordered a size medium container of mac&cheese and it was super cheap and they give you A LOT. We were super full. Congrats to the owner.”

“Food is absolutely delicious!! True to Soul Food. I am visiting from Louisiana for work. I was afraid I wasn't going to find good Soul Food cooking here. Someone in my office recommended this place and they did not disappoint!! I got the catfish and fries. Everything was absolutely delicious! The service was amazing as well! I will definitely be back to try everything on their menu! I am one happy Country Girl!! Thank you!!”

“The food at La Choza is excellent. There are a ton of vegetarian options, and the green chiles and margaritas are delicious. We went to this restaurant 2 out of 3 days we were in Santa Fe, and if we were staying longer, we would go again. The server our second night was Luis. We had never met such an outstanding server. Luis made sure we had all the information to order something we would enjoy. He noticed that some crema was left off of my chile relleño before I even noticed, and he immediately sent some to the table. He was friendly, and when we mentioned what an excellent job he did, he said it was because he loves people. I hope you get to meet him while you are eating there!”

“We went for lunch today. Atmosphere is great, friendly staff and fun decorations.
Note, they should fix the toilet seat.
We ordered the salami and prosciutto baguette sandwich’s with soup and salad. The soup and salad were great and really enjoyed them. The sandwiches were bland and fine, way too much butter.
The pastries were all good and sweat.”

“Service was on slower side of things throughout the meal, but all servers were pretty nice. All of my tapas were pretty delish, and I really liked their Spanish mushroom soup, papatas bravas and and mussels with coconut milk salsa verde: everything was spot on. Their Spanish negroni cocktail was lovely, too. The gateau basque dessert kinda ruined my meal: it seems to have been sitting in the fridge for the day but it was certainly not made fresh and I could hardly taste vanilla bean in it. A lady manager came by and was rather kind to comp it after I declined to try another dessert instead.”

“Outstanding meal. Burrata and pork tenderloin were highlights. We were lucky to snag last minute seats at the cozy little bar where Bobby served us and we chatted with Chef Allison after service. They are passionate about quality and we had an in depth conversation about their purveyors. Truly fortunate to visit and we will return when we’re next in Santa Fe.”
Vietnamese • $$$
“Soothing dining room experience and welcoming staff. Our meal started with Bao Buns which were delicious pillows of fluffiness. My beef short ribs dinner was tender meat. But as the bowl progressed the noodles at the bottom were clumped and quite gummy, almost raw tasting. Stuck to my teeth. Another person at our table agreed. Couldn’t finish it.
My husband had the street grilled pork bowl. Excellently prepared and presented with a broth on the side which the waitress immediately poured over the bowl of noodles, vegetables and grilled pork. Sadly the broth added a strange sour note that made the dish much less enjoyable. Broth should have been left on the side to use at the diners discretion.
We would have rated 5 stars but for those mistakes.”

“We were visiting Santa Fe and saw the ratings on The Flying Tortilla and stopped it for dinner. We shared a Burrito with carne abovada and Christmas chili. In a word Terrific. Our server was great and attentive as well. We are Veteran Hispanic foodies and Winter in The Rio Grande Valley so we have had lots... This was one of the best Burritos we have had period. Los Churros y helado para postre tambien muy Bueno.”

Cafe • $
“Since they first opened a few years ago, this has been my go to lunch spot in downtown Santa Fe. I have not had a bad item yet. Some of my favorites include the Chinese chicken salad, the Buddha bowl, the blackened salmon bowl, the breakfast sandwich, the avocado toast with a fried egg added, their tuna melt sandwich, their excellent coffee, and their amazing and filling smoothies. Many days they even have delivery for the downtown area, which is such a lifesaver when I can’t get away from my desk. They are also great people and their staff seems so happy and well cared for. I don’t know what I would do without Henry and the Fish!”

The atmosphere is casual, so take it to go and create a beautiful place in your hotel room or home with a bottle of wine and a candle. The Carne Asada cannot be beat!!! With the Pico de Gallo and lime on top , it is amazing!! The homemade tortillas are incredible and my husband had the shrimp one night and chicken the other. Both were fabulous!! The staff are friendly and humble and this is the most authentic delicious meal you will ever get for the price!! If they were local for me, I would get the Carne Asada every Friday night for life!! Thank you for a great meal and memory!! ❤️”

“There has been a change to the breakfast menu, and it's so much better for that. My favorite change is to the Green Hummus Toast. It was a delight when it was made as an avocado based toast, but now is available with a delicious hummus spread. Featuring local sourdough bread that's lightly toasted topped with organic eggs that can be ordered in any style, (how they make the scrambled version so light and fluffy is beyond me) along with fresh red onion that is a complement and never intrusive. The feta cheese sprinkled on top just adds the finishing touch. My other suggestion? While this is a breakfast specialty, you might want a savory element, adding a side order of sautéed mushrooms. Yikes, that's really good!”

We ate great crab cakes, beet and burrata salad ~ delicious stuffed squash blossoms and the poblano chilies with duck confit.

So if my husband wouldn’t of asked for the prices individually she would of kept $12 more. I do NOT recommend this place!!! Muy mal servicio!…Señora nada amable, nos dio las órdenes sin salsa y todavía estaba cobrando $12 de más, cuando mi esposo pregunto cuánto costaba cada orden ( ordenamos 3 ordenes) salió con la excusa de “oh que no ordenó sodas?” No, no ordenamos sodas, pero tampoco las tenía listas ni dijo “y de que “sodas” va a llevar?…si mi esposo no le cuestiona los precios, se ubiera quedado con $12 de más. No recomiendo este lugar!!…Se apoya lo local y con lo que salen!!!”

“Last Saturday night we celebrated my husband's 80th birthday. I called and spoke with Ricardo Gutierrez about our wish to make this a memorable event. He could not have been more helpful and pleasant to deal with, sending me sample menus and tolerating my changes and many questions. He and the staff went out of their way to make the dinner party a success - providing several shiny balloons proclaiming happy 80th birthday and even making 2 birthday cakes, which were very good by the way, one to eat there and one to take home. The price fix menu provided great selections and the food was very good and reasonably priced. A good time was had by all.”

Sushi • $$
“While visiting Santa Fe, we decided to give this place a try. Food was pretty good. We ordered the sashimi platter and it was very fresh. We got 2 rolls and were ok. The soft craft was better, the Seattle was fell apart as soon as one touches it. The rice was super overcooked and smushy. Udon noodles soup was pretty ok.”

“Friendly bartender serving great local craft beer. The vibe is very low key on a weekday and you can order food from the pizza next door and take it here. Try the hazy IPA selection.”

“Who would have thought that a small, very unassuming and out of the way Mexican restaurant would be thriving? This small gem is simple in decor, yet feels homey. Food is delicious and service equally good. It is one of those hidden places that surprise you even after many years of living here in Santa Fe. It was packed with people when we arrived, but we did not have to wait for a table. I took the pictures after the crowds were gone. Check it out.”

“Had a wonderful leisurely late lunch of the lamb shank…it was absolutely delicious. Met Michael Linder, the owner, who was so incredibly friendly. A New Yorker transplanted to New Mexico.
A must visit for anyone who visits Santa Fe!”

“By far, my favorite restaurant in Santa Fe...for years I have been going there for lunch during work days & après-ski dinner...consistent quality, fresh ingredients & great cooks...because they do not pretend to be anything they are not, they blow all wanna-bes out of the water...”

“I tried the tofu vegan tacos and was left a bit disappointed. They didn’t come with guac or beans, but that might be because I ordered two tacos. Happy with the vegan options and will definitely try their other options! They were super quick and efficient; food was ready in 10 minutes.”

“Julia, the restaurant inside La Posada Hotel in Santa Fe, NM, offers a warm dining experience with standout service. Fatima and Rosa, who work on the patio, deliver exceptional attention and hospitality, making the meal enjoyable. The margaritas are notably excellent, a highlight of the menu, while the food itself is decent, meeting expectations but not particularly remarkable. Overall, it’s a pleasant spot for drinks and great service with a scenic atmosphere.”
Salad • $$
“Not being gamblers, we don’t normally dine at local Santa Fe casinos. But after hearing an ad on the local jazz station for Cottonwood Kitchen’s Wednesday night 6-9p special, we decided to give it a try. Sarah loves prime rib, which is $19 on Wednesday night, first come-first serve, no reservations, and when it’s gone it’s gone. We eat at 8p but we arrived around 7:15 to be assured some beef and we were not disappointed. We started with a tasty “Northern New Mexico” Caesar-ish salad (sorry, I’m a Caesar salad purist, but it WAS tasty). The prime rib was perfectly prepared and the mashed potatoes stayed warm throughout the meal, which never happens. The service was excellent. Two other BIG reasons to go on a Wednesday night are half-priced wine by the glass and live jazz. If you like sports, there is a wall of TVs in the bar. We sat at a table in the spacious dining room but would have also been very happy at the 360 degree bar looking out into the casino and its colorful slots. We will be back.”

“We had dinner tonight and had the worst service at Charlie's section. He was attentive to all the surrounding tables where patrons were drinking alcohol. He never came to our table with refills, no garlic bread. Out order was mixed up. Carolyn the manager was kind enough to give is a discount. if you visit this location please ask to sit at another servers section. very disappointed with Charlie. terrible service!”
“Actually enjoy going to Boxcar now that it has private party dining room, large dining area that's not ovee crowded, patio area, and an entertainment room. All are welcome and like that they are not woke as to leave out Conservative or make us feel awkward to "new society ". Actually enjoy karaoke now there that negitive people who don't want to be "so called bothered by us having fun and singing" are in another area completely. Everyone even if just watching some really good singers like Bricey, gets into it mood with dancing, singing along, cheering for the brave singers. Shanny Soul gives a great vibe Wednesday nights always being fair in rotation allowing those who haven't sang get a chance to plus only sings when its a small crowd, did overhear 2 ladies if that's what you call them complaining about not having a second tern in over an hour but there were just so many singers to have first turn and were being rude to KJ, staff and other patrons. Dorian cool but you can tell when he's drinking or drunk. He shouldn't bump people down list when there name is already showing in next 2. He tends to put people for second before others who haven't gotten chance. He also sings too much when long list. Crash is great but does do as Dorian with rotation and singing but is super friendly and does not drink. There's also a lady singer who seem to work with them or goes KJ for Shanny breaks. Seen her Sunday too, is super helpful with App and supper friendly adding to welcoming us environment. Food more expensive no but still great and expected for downtown. Loving wait staff and secutiy.. not recommended for young child”

“We did the bespoke private dinner with wine pairings and it was great. We ate in what they called the living room and had private service and a roaring fire to eat by. The restaurant manager checked on us multiple times and the server was attentive. The food was very good, not excellent. The menu was customized for allergies and preferences which was great. The food was local flavors and just what we wanted. Wine pairings went really well with each course. The price was reasonable for the dinner and I definitely recommend it!”

“There is nothing we don’t love about this restaurant. The food is “real” New Mexican with some excellent special touches by the chef. The ambiance is wonderful, and the decor is authentic. Even the music is well selected and at a volume that enables pleasant conversation during the meal. The staff is helpful, responsive and friendly. A special shout out to Daniel, who is appropriately attentive and professional, always with a smile. Already looking forward to our next visit!”

“Giddy up, cowboys and cowgirls! It’s time for some bucking good food!
Caleb had to work this day so Cassey took me downtown to show me some of the city that her and Caleb love. First thing was to find a place to eat and after throwing out a few different places, we landed on Cowgirl BBQ.
We rolled up after the lunch rush and quickly got seated. I almost got a buffalo burger at The Ranch House but didn’t feel like trying to customize it so I knew Cowgirl was the place to properly get one. I ordered a Santa Fe Brewing Social Hour beer and quickly fell in love with it. That ended up being my go-to beer during my stay in Santa Fe.
While sipping our beers and waiting for our food and with some liquid courage, I asked our waiter if they sold shirts and the manager came over and escorted me from my table back outside, to a side portion that seemed like private seating to a locked door with tubs and tubs of shirts inside. I got a Large since she said the shirts will shrink after a wash or two.
Back at my table, I was buzzing from the beer and getting a shirt from my travels. It’s been a recent thing of mine to get a shirt from places to help support them and to rep them while I am out and about during my non-traveling. Anyway, I was buzzing when our food was brought out. I don’t remember what Cassey got because I was enamored with the buffalo burger in front of me. Cooked to a medium rare, each bite was heavenly. Apparently buffalo is a big menu item in the southwest and reflecting back… I kinda wish I lived down there. It’s not much different tasting than a beef burger, to be honest, but it tasted hella good cooked to medium rare. It was nice and juicy and full of flavor. The fries were pretty decent but nothing to rave over. It also came with coleslaw and I got the green chile on the side since I wasn’t sure if I’d like it on my burger. Turns out, I forgot to put it on there but I did sample it and it was really good. As for the coleslaw, I don’t care for coleslaw personally but I did sample it and it was also decent.
It was around Cowgirl BBQ that I started to get the hint that I was in for a week of some of the most delicious food I ever had. Boy, how little I knew how true that would become.
If you find yourself in Santa Fe, do yourself a favor and wrangle up your friends/family and haul them in for a taste of how delicious the southwest is.
Giddy up, readers!”

“The food at La Choza is excellent. There are a ton of vegetarian options, and the green chiles and margaritas are delicious. We went to this restaurant 2 out of 3 days we were in Santa Fe, and if we were staying longer, we would go again. The server our second night was Luis. We had never met such an outstanding server. Luis made sure we had all the information to order something we would enjoy. He noticed that some crema was left off of my chile relleño before I even noticed, and he immediately sent some to the table. He was friendly, and when we mentioned what an excellent job he did, he said it was because he loves people. I hope you get to meet him while you are eating there!”

“If you are in Santa Fe you absolutely have to visit Tres Colores! We were up there with family and friends for my dad's internment in the national cemetery. There were 13 of us that showed up for lunch without calling ahead. The space is small but they didn't even bat an eye. They quickly slid tables and chairs together and seated us. Service was excellent and the food was some of the best I've ever had. The presentation was beautiful and flavor was phenomenal. I don't think I will ever be satisfied with nachos from anywhere else. It was so well balanced. I am grateful for the hospitality they provided and will always remember this experience.”

“We went for lunch today. Atmosphere is great, friendly staff and fun decorations.
Note, they should fix the toilet seat.
We ordered the salami and prosciutto baguette sandwich’s with soup and salad. The soup and salad were great and really enjoyed them. The sandwiches were bland and fine, way too much butter.
The pastries were all good and sweat.”

“We were visiting Santa Fe and saw the ratings on The Flying Tortilla and stopped it for dinner. We shared a Burrito with carne abovada and Christmas chili. In a word Terrific. Our server was great and attentive as well. We are Veteran Hispanic foodies and Winter in The Rio Grande Valley so we have had lots... This was one of the best Burritos we have had period. Los Churros y helado para postre tambien muy Bueno.”

“The food was tasty and the portions were not too big, ideal for dinner. I thought the starter was too small to share. The service was average, nothing surprising. We arrived earlier than our reservation time and even though the restaurant was empty, we had to wait until our reservation time. They have a good, varied menu for children, without adding pepper or other seasonings that children don't like, and they include drinks and fruit. We left satisfied.”
