“What a spectacular find!! Everything was so amazing made from scratch and with superb ingredients. The carrot, curry and crab soup was beautiful and delicious, the portion large enough to be willing to share. It felt sinful not to finish, but I wanted to have room for my entree of duck confit pad thai style. I do not have a sweet tooth and rarely order dessert, but could not pass up the butterscotch pudding with caramel sauce and sea salt. Every bite of the meal was heavenly. Our dinner here was the absolutely best part of our vacation in Santa Fe. We ate at two other restaurants with either Michelin Stars and/or a James Beard award-winning chef (one of which was grossly overrated), and this dinner won hands down. I would have appreciated a more extensive wine list, but loved the dining experience too to bottom. The decor was interesting and cozy with beautifully painted (as in on the glass) sheer curtains and tablecloths, sparkling candles sconces all over the walls and beautiful cooper cookware. The staff was cheery but not overbearing, just perfect.”
“Sazon was a roller coaster - see below for rated list of what we ate and drank. I STRONGLY recommend sticking to the chef recommended dishes/specials. My main course (stuffed eggplant) and dessert (princesa) were extremely disappointing. Meanwhile, my fiance ordered the fish of the day with two moles and it was the best meal of the trip for him. As for service, our waiter was an absolute GEM, so personable and friendly!- Mole sampler: 10/10 (Magical!)- Cochata cocktail: 9/10 (Delicious)- Temiqui cocktail: 9/10 (Delicious)- Sangria Blanco: 8/10 (Good)- Prickly pear mocktail: 5/10 (Nothing special, very sweet, limited flavors)- Xochimilco tacos: 10/10 (Magical, unique)- Soap de Amor: 10/10 (Magical, intriguing combo of ingredients!)- Berenjena (stuffed eggplant): 4/10 (Lacking in flavor and disappointing. The swirl of sauce on the side was good and did it's best to carry the dish but wasn't enough.)- Fish of the day: 10/10 (sea bass, magical, cooked to perfection, with 2 different moles)- Dolce Sinfonia: 10/10 (magical experience and combo of flavors!)- 0 (I enjoy eating unsweetened whipped cream and berries for dessert, however - the cream and pastry had zero sweetness or flavor and the textures weren't great together. Confusing, as though sugar was forgotten. Berries were sweet but not in a way that carried the plain clotted cream and pastry).”
“Hands down the best steak house in Santa Fe! Food, atmosphere, and service are always on point! Sauce flight is a must! Drinks are always delicious! Our go-to place for special occasions!”
“This was the highlight of our trip to Santa Fe! Great Elote!, and Chile en Nogada! Took me back to Todos Santos! Wonderful Service and Chef, great Chips , homemade salsa and Sopapillas! Thank you!”
“I wanted to give this a 5 star across the board but just could not. The food and atmosphere were amazing. The tapas style menu allows you to try many things. The portions were bigger than expected so don't let your eyes be bigger than your stomach.My main complaints with the service is our table for two was located next to two large groups, one of which was very loud. Our table was too close the servers bumped into me way too many times while I was eating. It was clear the servers were catering to these two large groups and our server was not attentive. The food came out reasonably well but at one point our server was not even sure what food was brought out to our table.”

“Wonderful dinner experience at Geronimo. Menu was not expansive but had something for every taste. The Elk was amazing as was the vegetarian tasting menu. Wine list was superb and the service was spot on.”

“Tres Colores is unforgettable! Fresh ingredients shine in their dishes. The chilaquiles, with its green chile sauce, is a standout. Fish tacos are both tasty and healthy. Don't miss the Tres Colores special margarita - it's worth having more than one!Tres Colores isn't just about the food; the service is exceptional too. The main host gentleman and the rest of the staff provide outstanding service, adding to the overall dining experience.”

“The Pantry has never disappointed. The people are so friendly and the service is speedy but we have not once felt rushed.The food is delicious and fresh with large servings. The leftovers make for a marvelous breakfast.”
“Every bit of 5 stars, I’d give 10 if I could! The BEST breakfast burrito of my entire life, without a doubt! The best Chile ever and what Chile is SUPPOSED to taste like and I’ve been all over the state the past couple months and tried plenty! The service is kind, quick and on top of things and the atmosphere is totally laid back and relaxed! Also the bathroom is super clean and one of the nicest I’ve seen in any restaurant! A little pricey but definitely worth the price if you’re willing to spend it and can!”
“All I can say is, wow. The food was phenomenal. My husband got the burrito and I got the chicken enchiladas with Christmas on the side (red chili sauce and green chili sauce), we shared the chips and salsa. And to our surprise, Sopapillas came with the meal. We’d never had a one before and they were life changing! Luckily we eat dinner early so we didn’t have to wait to be seated. When we left, the line was out the door. I could happily eat my way through the entire menu if we had more time. The staff was friendly and the food was fresh. I highly recommend Tomasita’s I’d you’re in Santa Fe.”
“Ordered the Santa Fe Mac and the Ham & Cheese grilled cheese. Grilled cheese was top notch! Would definitely get one of them again. Mac was good but needed something… we prefer it saltier but that’s just our personal preference. We actually crumbled the chips that came with our grilled cheese in it and loved it! Would definitely come here again!”
“LOVE THIS PLACE! what a gem in Santa fe. The only fully vegan place with an amazing bakery and the best, kindest service and vibe. Highly recommend and will always come back when I'm in town.”
“Anthony’s sauces and endless selections are absolutely divine! I’m from Georgia, but his fried okra and collard greens are the best! And his joy is contagious. A true jewel.Dietary restrictions: MSG, Wheat, GF, dairy, nightshades”
“Sage Bakehouse is a must if you're in Santa Fe. The best almond croissant I've ever had!!! The staff is so kind and the service is great. It's right across the street from Hotel Santa Fe and a perfect morning stop. Highly recommend!”

“This was our second visit in the last two years (since we live out of town). We had the Seasonal Vegetable Curry, Classic Masala Dosa, South Indian Chai, and the Passion Fruit Custard. We enjoyed all the dishes. Highest quality!!! The chai was not sweetened and I had to add sugar. However, I know this is a matter of preference since others prefer the stronger tea flavors. We definitely have this restaurant on our list to visit every time we are in town. Parking can be an issue, it is Santa Fe, but worth the effort to eat there.”
“N/A food, hence 0 stars.Unique Pottery Shop that offers exquisit offerings, an area & tools w/ instruction to make your own, and craft cocktail (and espresso).Just what we needed after the road trip to Santa Fe, and taking in the Georgia O'Keefe Museum.Limited offerings, but they distill their own... so why expect single malt?Nice coctails, served in ceramics.Parking in Santa Fe is tighter than many other cities.”
“Very fresh organic eggs! Loved the seed bread so much I got it twice. Vegetables and ingredients all were impeccably fresh. Very friendly service too. Can’t miss the big fancy lattes. Thank you for carrying milk alternatives!”

“We ate at the Cantina. Food and service were great. I had the best seasoned steak in a taco that I've ever had. I thought the music was a bit loud for a Sunday night, but the view made up for it.One thing that is unclear though... I'm not sure why these restaurants are listed together -the Cafe and the Cantina . When we went here for dinner, we were told in no uncertain terms that the Cantina functions as a completely separate restaurant from the Cafe. As such, the reservations that we made at the Cafe were no good for rooftop seating at the Cantina. We ended up getting seats at the Cantina without a problem, but I don't know why they don't just list the places separately to avoid the confusion?”
“Creative, well seasoned, perfect portions and great prices for finer dining.Service was slow..I had to track our server down as she was chatting with her co-workers.”
“We had the pork chops and they were so delicious. I cannot rave enough about the pork chops. They were so good! They also have an absolutely amazing raspberry drink, raspberry Vodka and lime juice so good! Highly recommend this ”
“Excellent wine selections, super cute and charming restaurant, the food was excellent, I had Shepards pie and it was perfection, large amount of beef inside the dish, and they also had the best cheese-cake I have ever had !!”
“This was my first time visiting and it absolutely will not be the last as this amazing restaurant in one of my top favorite restaurants of all time. There's no exaggeration when I say that the ingredients taste extraordinarily fresh and bright and the combinations are Pure culinary wizardry. Everything on the menu was outstanding, but the panacotta defies gravity. This is an absolute jewel. Congratulations to everybody involved in this restaurant. I can't fail to mention the extraordinary Wine collection that is available with price ranges of all comfort levels.”
“Santacafe did a wonderful job creating a lovely, small,unique 50th birthday. Mocktails for the table and a lovely slice of lemon cake. They made it a terrific celebration.”
“This is my 3rd time here and love it! If you are a fan of traditional Spanish food (with a uniquely New Mexican twist) and drink, this is the place for you. I was so excited to get Spanish vermouth, which I have had difficulty finding in stores. The service is also excellent! The main dining room is small and always jam-packed, so be sure to make a reservation. Also, you have to be ok with sitting in close proximity to others, which in my opinion makes it that much more lively!”
“Located right next to the La Quinta in Santa Fe. The place has a great selection of traditional New Mexican eats with some live entertainment on Thursdays. Large and satisfying portions that were made with love and care for quality. Something for everyone on the menu for breakfast lunch and dinner.”
“This was our first visit and we had an excellent meal. The service was exceptional. The hostess did an excellent job orienting us to the restaurant and the menu. Our waiter was timely, friendly and helpful. Both the owner and executive chef came by our table to say hello and greet us. Nice touch. We both had the meat forward tasting menu and every course was excellent. Loved the Vietnamese-French rice crepes and the short-ribs were tender and delicious.”
“From start to finish a fantastic way to celebrate my birthday. As a surprise my husband booked this restaurant, neither of us having visited this place before. From my funny initial interaction to inquire if there was dress code, to our final dish, this restaurant went above and beyond to provide an exuberant experience. It was a chilly day requiring the use of coats, and immediately upon arrival they offered a place for them to be deposited while we were seated. The restaurant was cozy, with the perfect mood lighting for a romantic evening. Our waiter was professional, experienced, and a great wealth of knowledge regarding the dishes and pairings. To start our appetizer we chose for the vegetarian tasting plate, the gouda polenta being perfectly crispy, the bisque exquisitely flavorful, my favorite however was the goat cheese salad and polenta. For entrees, I chose the the beef tenderloin, my partner opting for the lamb rack. To say I was impressed was an understatement. The beef was tender, buttery, and cooked to perfection, the accompanying sauce, potato tartine, mushroom and tomato duxelle created a symphony in my mouth. The lamb was cooked to the perfect temperature, avoidant of gaminess and risotto to die for. The plate finished with a fantastic surprise of lava cake and the perfect cinnamon gelato. If you have been wanting to try this restaurant but been afraid, please go, it is well worth your visit.”
“This review is based off of atmosphere alone it's an extremely beautiful little cafe I would really like to be able to come in and take a table and enjoy their food and service in this beautiful place because the atmosphere is so wonderful but it's always packed to the hilt and I can never get a table in a timely manner so we usually end up leaving this has happened a couple times but we won't stop coming and giving it a shot we just don't like to wait. I think what I'll do is call ahead next time and see if there's a possibility they might be able to put my name on the list or something I forgot to ask about that last time we waited in the doorway for 25 minutes just looking around lol”
“Real New Mexican dining without any of the pretensions. Welcoming owner and staff, freshly prepared and delicious meals and reasonable prices. Old motel next door would make one very erroneously think this was somehow connected. We never visit Santa Fe without a meal at Pecos Trail.”
“The place is very cozy, good food, spectacular red summer and the show, the spectacular musicians with unimaginable energy and dedication on stage. Congratulations, I hope to see you again.”
“It was the middle of the afternoon. I had just gotten off the plane. I was starving. I headed over to Canyon road. I was looking for a place to eat. One of the galleries suggested the Tea Room. I walked 15 minutes to the Tea Room. There, they said it was 20 minutes until their lunch service was finished so they would not seat me. I left. Still starving. On the walk back down Canyon Road, I saw a sign for The Compound. I decided to check it out. I am very, very, very glad I did. At The Compound, the ambiance was great. Excellent people watching. People that you wondered what their story was. The service was perfect. Astrea was attentive, but not intrusive. She was also very personable and knowledgeable about the food. Her suggestions were spot on. The food was excellent. The ceviche was great. The venison sausage was very unique. I did not want to take the last bite because I didn’t want it to end. The bread pudding was as good as it gets. This restaurant made me want to buy a house in Santa Fe. If you’re in Santa Fe, don’t miss your chance to eat at The Compound.”
“Excellent food served by wonderful staff who makes you feel welcome and relaxed. I'm still dreaming about the butter-soft filet mignon and the best fries I've had in a very long time. They also have interesting wine-by-the-glass selections. The dining room is spacious, with tables set far apart (in a good way), and the light is warm and softly subdued. A very nice place for a very nice meal.”
“Have enjoyed going there with our guests . Very good manager & willing to provide excellent customer service ! Highly recommend them & the ambience is lovely”

“We've lived in Santa Fe for two decades but had never been to the Bell Tower. We figured that early October would be a good time to enjoy the end of summer with fewer tourists fighting for a spot on one of the few roof bars! We went with a couple of friends, and all enjoyed our drinks and apps. It's a perfect spot to survey the surrounding city and mountains. Special shoutout to Kallina (sp?), who I think was the night manager. She saw us looking around bewildered in the La Fonda lobby and, rather than just point us in the direction of the elevator, she led us over, road up with us, and ensured we got a nice place to sit. We're not used to that sort of above-and-beyond service in SF, so kudos to the manager and to La Fonda!”
“Hard working staff at this location. Biggest trouble I ever had was getting honey mustard when I asked for Honey. food is always piping hot and brought with a smile.”
“This McDonald’s was the first in Santa Fe. Remodeled a couple of times.Parking: GoodKid-friendliness: Always kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: It’s McDonald’s”
“I ordered a McCrispy Chicken Sandwich with extra pickles and a medium fries at 1am and drove towards the window and a person standing at the corner of the building asked me if I'd get him an extra large coffee with cream and sugar and I said sure! So I ordered it at the window and got my stuff and gave the dude his coffee and when I gave it to him he grabbed my dick though I didn't ask for that. I have to assume the sexual assault was from my karma for these Tyson tortured chickens. All in all five stars.”

“If we could give it 10 stars we would. Best vegan meal we’ve ever had. Ingredients so fresh, taste and flavor on point, great vibes. Do not leave Santa Fe without stopping by Ras Rody’s.”
“Fantastic, flavorful food! We were visiting Santa Fe for a few days and ate there twice - it was that good! The atmosphere is relaxing, friendly staff. Great experience I would highly recommend Jambo Cafe to anyone looking for a taste of Afro Caribbean food.”
“Best Crepes in NM! I feel this place is a secret & the world needs to know how delicious they are! The staff is wonderful, Alan was great! He was attentive & made sure we had everything we needed. We went for breakfast before heading to Meow Wolf & I think it should be added to everyone’s itinerary! We shared the Breakfast Crepe with Chorizo- it had potato, eggs, cheese with a chipotle & tomatillo sauce smothering it! It had a nice kick from the sauces. We also shared the Tiramisu Sweet Crepe. Had the amazing coffee flavor, a lady finger, & the filling was great! We also ordered a Strawberry Short Cake Crepe. It was so good! I highly recommend ordering it! The crème filling was so tasty! Overall amazing breakfast place to go!”
“I ate here for dinner twice. I had the chicken fajitas one day and taco plate the other. Both times I left stuffed. The food is pretty good, quick, and reasonably priced.”

“I ordered the green curry with chicken and tea leaf salad. My sister had the red curry and Tom yum soup. We even sampled their beef lok lak. Taste buds were tantalized. The freshness and love that went in to these dishes is unparallel. I hope you enjoy this experience as much as I did!”
“Very fresh organic eggs! Loved the seed bread so much I got it twice. Vegetables and ingredients all were impeccably fresh. Very friendly service too. Can’t miss the big fancy lattes. Thank you for carrying milk alternatives!”

“We stop in here when we are in town for breakfast with my daughter. The first time was scrumptious. This last time the crepes were thinker than normal but everything else was amazing. I absolutely love the peach Melba.”
“i’m so picky with my matcha and theirs EXCEEDED my expectations! the rose and pistachio specialty for spring perfectly accented each other. it wasn’t overwhelmingly sweet and didn’t taste like an artificial mix! cookies and macarons were lovely too. i love the music they played and the workers were friendly. the barista even double checked our drink wouldn’t burn our hands before giving it to us, so kind! 100% reccommend :)”
“Absolutely. Amazing. There's a reason everyone in town, including other restaurants, get their tortillas here! Alicia and crew know how to make some fantastic traditional Mexican food. Huge portions, good prices, fresh, fast, delicious. Their chicken mole is to die for and easily feeds 2-3 people! Their enchiladas are also top notch. Used to eat here almost every week for lunch when I worked nearby.”
“I've made this a regular visit in the mornings while I do my computer work. Andrey and Jessica have a great thing going. Delicious, and most of all, good on the body. The bread is the best I've ever had, and the pastries are delightful. I recommend it!Dietary restrictions: There are delicious vegetarian and vegan options, as well as truly healthy grains in the baked items.Kid-friendliness: It's a communal, family-friendly atmosphere. Relaxed and open-format dining hall.Wheelchair accessibility: Wild Leaven is located in Chomp Food Hall, which is wheelchair accessible.”
“Went for an early dinner, had to wait 45 minutes to be seated, but luckily we had drinks while we waited. Once seated the young waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was pretty good, chili hot n spicy. The guacamole was very good as well.”

“On a chilly, blustery day, my friend and I went to Piccolino to have lunch. We both agreed that if we got out of the car and the aromas emitting from the restaurant were enticing, we'd go inside and try it out. As our stomachs rumbled at the delicious scents emanating from the kitchen, we decided to give it a shot.We weren't disappointed.Our server was friendly, prompt, and helpful. We ordered pizzas and a salad. The balance of fresh pizza dough, sauce, and cheese was exactly as I'd hoped. The well seasoned sauce was neither too heavily nor too sparsely applied. The pizza dough was flavorful and fluffy, and the savory cheese was perfectly melted. The veggies on our pizzas were fresh and crisp without making the dish swampy. The salad was also fresh and tasty. Piccolino was perfection!Vegetarian options: There are many vegetarian options to choose from.”
“Amazing food and establishment. Everything I’ve tried has been spectacular and I love that most of their food (maybe all?) is seed oil free. I’ll eventually end up trying their whole menu.Dietary restrictions: Very little seed oils if any. Seed oil free meals very easy to get here.”
“We visited Santa Fe last week and we found the Indian palace and we tried their buffet menu. They have 4 vegetarian Subjis, rice, rice pudding, samosa, mango custard, and naan. Food taste is so good. As specially naan is so soft. Recommend to visit this place.”
“We were worried about the wait, but we were seated quickly, wait staff were on their game. We ordered within 5min of being seated and were worried about the wait time, but less than 10 min We were served a fresh steaming hot meal. My fish was definitely right out the fryer, my moms patty melt was right off the grill. The green Chile queso was fresh and tasty. The green Chile was spicy but not too hot. The tartar sauce was delicious but I didn't get any hint of the habanero. Wouldn't mind hotter Chile.”
“Dave welcomes us every time we take a field trip to the library! After selecting books, we look forward to crossing the street and practicing real-life transactions with Dave and his staff. We arrive with 8-10 students, and I always know that no one will be turned down for a drink. He is kind, generous, and patient. Give the Mud Hut a try!”
“Kept hearing this was the best coffee in town. Finally went to go check it out on the south side of town and it is indeed the best coffee in Santa Fe. They know what they're about.”
“I LOVE this bakery! As a gluten-free, vegan it is honestly such a blessing to have a place such as this in town. I come at least once a week and it is always a treat! Some of my favorites are the blondies, cinnamon rolls, blueberry/raspberry donuts, pb cookies and brownies (my non-vegan or gluten-free boyfriend says these are some the best brownies he's ever eaten!)”
“Cute location to get your coffee has drive through, walked up to stand with friends and we only wished that they had seating options to enjoy our drinks on days we aren’t on the run. But there is a park close by I suppose to go have your drinks at.”

“The food is well prepared and tastes great. The menu items are very affordable. The staff are kind and keep the establishment 9clean. The dining area is spacious and pleasant. The only negative thing I can say about Baja Tacos is there condiments are in little packets. I minor inconvenience.”
“Staff at this store very friendly. Most recent on Tuesday, 9/20/22, was particularly busy and Jill, was working with only a trainee and still kept up with getting order out at an unusually busy time due to weather. Other staff members had not yet arrived. Kudos for Jill!!”
“Im sad to report I wolfed down my Tuna Sub before I got a picture of how beautiful it was BUT at least I can report on how delicious every bite tasted! I dont know who made my sub today but it was certainly made with LOVE! Everything was fresh, the bread, the veggies, the pickle spear! But the tuna! It was fluffy and tastey, wasnt weighed down by sauces and salt. This is my new go to sub spot!Vegetarian options: Excellent veggie subKid-friendliness: Lots of choices for littles”
“Order from here frequently, the food is always fantastic, made to spec. Delivery is always on time. Thank you so much for taking the time to make it right. Keep up the great work.”
“The young lady who took our order was awesome. We had a large order and she went over it again and again to make sure it was correct . She even offered alternative options. Craziest experience coming from a Taco Bell.She treated us like we were dining in a 5 star restaurant.”
“Awesome burrito! Great food indeed. A tad expensive ( $50 for 2 burritos) , but remember Santa Fe is a high minimum wage town so you should not escalate that price with a tip.”
“The place is very cozy, good food, spectacular red summer and the show, the spectacular musicians with unimaginable energy and dedication on stage. Congratulations, I hope to see you again.”
“Excellent food served by wonderful staff who makes you feel welcome and relaxed. I'm still dreaming about the butter-soft filet mignon and the best fries I've had in a very long time. They also have interesting wine-by-the-glass selections. The dining room is spacious, with tables set far apart (in a good way), and the light is warm and softly subdued. A very nice place for a very nice meal.”
“If you're looking for a place to recharge, I'd recommend this wine garden. The wine garden itself is absolutely beautiful. Between the plants, the dried peppers, & the environment that surrounds you, it's truly a peaceful spot. We lost track of time just talking & taking in the beauty of the outdoor area. Inside, it showcases the true beauty that New Mexico has to offer with its architecture. During our visit, we got a wine flight based on the servers recommendation. This was a great way to try multiple offerings that local wineries produce. After the wine, I had a few different local beer options, which were good. Overall, it was a positive experience here at Ahmyo Wine Garden. I hope to come back to this wine garden again someday!”

“We brought our family here to eat because we heard it was good. Oh my goodness.. from the greeting at the front door until we finished.. this dining experience was the best! The food was delicious, fresh and the presentation was gorgeous! The server was friendly, attentive and didn’t make one mistake despite several specific requests. She was on point at every single interval. I’m so glad we chose this cafe!”
“Awesome little Cafe! Delicious taste of Santa Fe favorites! The Pork Tamales were awesome! The guacamole was amazing! Love the Jamica! Going to stop by this place when I'm in Santa Fe! Great Service too! They were super kind and helpful! And the Tres Leches cake was some of the best I have ever had!Parking: It's downtown Santa Fe, we were able to find parking just around the corner but it can get busy.”
“I was working in Santa Fe and decided to try this place out. I’m sure glad I did! Food is delicious. I got the Chile relleno omelette Christmas style. ? and the latte was delicious too!”
“Food is indescribably good. My wife ordered the breakfast quesadilla and I ordered the sunrise plate. We could not have been more pleased. Perfect combination of flavors with spice. Absolutely recommended.”
“AMAZING Breakfast! Was visiting Santa Fe and was craving some Chilaquiles. Was so happy to see that The Pantry Rio serves them, and let me tell you... WOW! Not only were the chilaquiles excellent but all components on the plate were spot on with flavor! The beans, the potatoes, the amazing chile (Both red and green - Christmas style!) Cant wait to be back at Santa Fe to eat there again!! Thank you for making delicious food!”
“Best Breakfast tacos I ever had.The salsas were the perfect spice level.Everything was perfect ?? can’t wait to be back … if you a picky eater and judge food by its looks and no the flavor this place ain’t for you.”
“Friendly service convenient location. Definitely the local vibe here.Did I mention some fresh fantastic SOURDOUGH bread? Get it sliced and I bet you finish half the loaf before you get home or room!Not just bread however. Other baked goods included are brownies, apple almond cake , scones and many more. Sample some but be sure to take out as well. But there’s more! Genuine Italian pasta , olive oils , sardines and coffee! Yes!”
“The #2 (green chile) cheeseburger was delicious. But the fish and chips are off the carts, maybe the best F&C in the city. Only available Friday and Saturday, don't miss this dish. The green beans that come with the fish and chips are fantastic. The chef was so friendly, the food came quickly, and it was lovely sitting in the patio of Santa Fe Brewery with drinks from there. Fantastic experience and food; we will return as I hear the Chicken sandwich isn't to be missed.”
“Muchos is my new fav! I had the Spinach and Egg salad Sandwhich and I was HOOKED! Today I got the Veggie and it is FLAWLESS!!! The portions are plentiful and everything tastes crisp and fresh! Wish I got a picture of my spinach and egg salad sandwich but it was gone in record time! (Pictured is the Veggie). Get a fresh lemonade to wash it all down too. Go go go to Muchos! You wont be disappointed!Vegetarian options: Fresh ingredients!”
“I was in Santa Fe for a business conference and googled coffee near me. Mud Hut was highly rated, for good reason. When I walked in I was pleasantly greeted by the barista. I ordered the Hawaii Dream. I chatted with the barista & another gentleman while waiting for my coffee. I didn't take a drink til I was halfway down the block. Holy deliciousness! I almost turned around to tell them how amazing this coffee tasted. I waited til the next day when I went in again. I ordered the El Jefe. This coffee completely made my day better. Thank you! Highly recommend.”
“As a music lover, this place was a real treat. The system is solid and well integrated into the space. It was loud enough to “feel it” without being too loud, which let me chat with my partner, play checkers, and enjoy other fun table top games they had. A really fun spot to enjoy some music for a couple hours!”
“If you are in town looking for an amazing taco truck or live locally, this is the place. Blown away!! The gentleman who helped us was so friendly and helpful, he also just had the best personality too. I wish I could say what my favorite thing was, but they were all equally amazing.”
“I had four tacos and a beef fajita. I have never had that many tacos in one meal ever at anywhere else just because they are too delicious. They have a large variety for meat such as shrimp, beef, beef tongue, and beef tripe etc. Beef tongue taco is a must have, which is really flavorful and tender. Their salsa and roasted jalapeno is spicy enough that is fully satisfying. Their food is not too salty but also let you add the amount of salt you want so it fits your taste the most. I would have come back every other day if I lived in Santa Fe.”
“Really cool place. Free darts free pool free foosball. The beer is good too! Real good. 4 stars. I'll upgrade to 5 if you get a pinball machine and stick with the (free) theme!”
“We dined here last night, about 2:30 in afternoon (three adults). Was surprised how busy you were, that is a good sign. We sat in the bar, at a booth, have dined here several times in the past. That said, the food was good, always love the barbecue, I might say the selections were somewhat typical for Santa Fe. I know this may be beyond your desire but the Margaritas were way too sour, had to ask for additive of simple syrup (which was brought immediately with a smile). It might behoove you to ask your patrons if they desire a sweet Margarita or sour. That said our (female) server was excellent, better than recent visit to Harry's Roadhouse, La Posada, and Rio Chama. Thank you! The deserts, wish you would offer more variety if possible. I went over the desert menu several times, couldn't decide which one was a little less blahhh. The cheesecake was bland and nothing special. Perhaps a slice of apple pie or such, would accompany the barbecue dinner nicely. All in all we have been coming to your establishment for years, the service and atmosphere is consistent and excellent. Cost was $125.00 with tip. I can also appreciate your response to the reviews, wow, shows a commitment to service and better than average fare. We are Santa Fe residents.”
“I'm not a fan of tequila, but their cocktails are fantastic. And the prices are pleasantly reasonable for a touristy area. You'd easy pay twice as much in S. Francisco, LA, NY, South Florida or any ski resort town in Colorado.Parking: Parking lot for hotel guests only (we were). Still a bit tight, but Santa Fe is an old town. Wasn't built for cars.”
“Really nice ambience. If you have a meal during day time, the light from the top is great. The walls are stained glass done by local artist Ernesto Martinez.The food is expensive, but quite flavorful and is very well presented. Make a reservation as it fires get busy. They have an extensive wine list.The service is quick and efficient. If you want to splurge, this is a nice option in Santa Fe.Dietary restrictions: Limited choices if you are a vegetarian but they will customizeParking: Hotel’s parking garageKid-friendliness: Kids menu available”
“Had 2 chai lattes and a chocolate chip cookie. The drinks and food were great. We're new to the area and found it a little difficult to find a parking spot. No fault of the coffee shop there was little parking, but I thought I'd mention it.”
“We enjoyed a very good dinner here last week on their tented deck - very dog friendly! The green chile chicken enchiladas were delicious and I took half of that home for another dinner. My wife enjoyed her shrimp and grits very much - and just the right ratio of grits to shrimp. We sampled four of their brews and my wife liked her choice of a sour. I'm not a fan of the sour brews and found the remaining selection of their ales limited but they had other breweries ales on tap too. Wish they would brew a good Mexican lager to accompany the enchiladas.”
“It was the middle of the afternoon. I had just gotten off the plane. I was starving. I headed over to Canyon road. I was looking for a place to eat. One of the galleries suggested the Tea Room. I walked 15 minutes to the Tea Room. There, they said it was 20 minutes until their lunch service was finished so they would not seat me. I left. Still starving. On the walk back down Canyon Road, I saw a sign for The Compound. I decided to check it out. I am very, very, very glad I did. At The Compound, the ambiance was great. Excellent people watching. People that you wondered what their story was. The service was perfect. Astrea was attentive, but not intrusive. She was also very personable and knowledgeable about the food. Her suggestions were spot on. The food was excellent. The ceviche was great. The venison sausage was very unique. I did not want to take the last bite because I didn’t want it to end. The bread pudding was as good as it gets. This restaurant made me want to buy a house in Santa Fe. If you’re in Santa Fe, don’t miss your chance to eat at The Compound.”
“Always a sharp and enjoyable choice. We were greeted like family from the moment we entered the restaurant. Our server, John Paul, was top flight - one of the finest in Santa Fe. The fare is consistently delicious, fresh and a menu that changes from season to season. We had a splendid time and are anticipating our next visit! Special kudos to Camille, Taidan and Betsy, all part of the splendid staff.”
“We went to Skyfire for the first time during restaurant week. The restaurant week selection was limited but varied enough to suit everyone taste, and all delicious. The green risotto was outstanding! It's a lovely setting, and the regular menu looked intriguing. Service was very attentive. We will definitely be back!”
“My pear salad and my husbands Parmesan chicken was great. Grilled bread was amazing. Amaretto sour yummy. Lasagna disappointing, seemed like 10 layers of pasta in a dry bolognese sauce, didn’t taste any ricotta either. I would definitely go back but not order the Lasagna.”
“We came here for my dad’s 53rd birthday and it was amazing. Food was cooked good and they let us bring a cake and sparkler candles! Abbey was our waiter and she was fantastic, super attentive and engaging. Not only serving us but 5 tables around us and we all arrived around the same time and she made sure everyone was taken care of!!”
“Went during restaurant week.We went to the sushi side.Service was great and presentation was great. The flaming salmon baked roll was so fun. The sashimi was really good. The sushi rice was just alright. We really likedLiked the real wasabi. Sashimi tartar was good as well as the fried banana. Nothing extraordinary about those two dishes. I didn't know I would say this but the miso soup was the best I have ever had. The broth was so flavorful. The 3 sake sampler was really fun too.”
“I was super impressed to find good Caribbean food in the middle of new Mexico. Fish tacos, harrisa fries and plantains were great! I was disappointed with the lack of flavor in the beans and rice until I found out that if you mix it with the curry sauce that comes with the plantains, it's amazing!”
“Nice little hidden gem of a place. The place was packed at 2PM, but everything flowed like clockwork. The menu was full of local dishes, just what we were looking for.”
“Dietary restrictions: I can't eat garlic or onion, which makes life difficult when eating out. The chef was able to accommodate me with a delicious meal. So happy we dined at Midtown Bistro”
“We love Estevan. In the summer it is very difficult to get a reservation so shoulder season provides a wonderful opportunity. We had fabulous locally-sourced food and Zack helped us pick the perfect wine (and sherry).”
“Great experience and tasty food while shopping around the plaza. The pineapple cucumber drink was delicious! We had to order another one to go. They also offer cash discounts as well.Kid-friendliness: They offer kids menu. Kids menu come with crayons to keep children occupied”
“We visited Santa Fe last week and we found the Indian palace and we tried their buffet menu. They have 4 vegetarian Subjis, rice, rice pudding, samosa, mango custard, and naan. Food taste is so good. As specially naan is so soft. Recommend to visit this place.”
“The staff and the food were amazing. When the owner came out to greet my family, he took special care of us the entire time. We are from Southlake Texas and we have good Mexican food but el Callejón was world class food and service. Highly recommended.”
“We had breakfast at the Cafe. Friendly staff, nice menu, and tasty food. Check out the peacocks, turkey, chickens, and pigeons outside after your meal. They serve breakfast and lunch.”

“The location is incredible and very convenient to the museums. Beautiful mountain views and a full service coffee bar in addition to lunch / dinner options. We had lunch here before checking out the near by museums.”
“Review of El FarolThis December, I had a couple days in Santa Fe so I did what any rational visitor from east of the Mississippi should do: spend mornings on huevos rancheros and dedicate the evenings to a tour de tapas. My experience culminated at El Farol. My initial impression was that the tapas menu at La Boca looked more interesting, but my experience at El Farol was unequivocally better.The food at El Farol is vibrant and fresh. The mouth watering chicharrones are a triumph and were a perfect complement to the other lighter dishes we had. The beet salad was perfectly conceived and beautiful to see and eat. The anchovies in the boquerones were delicious and I wish I could have them in my pantry at home. The Brussels and cauliflower dishes are each the best version of their primary ingredient.The atmosphere at El Farol is lively, but we had enough space to get comfortable and to have good conversation. On our next trip to Santa Fe, there is no doubt that we will be returning to El Farol, hopefully on a day warm enough to enjoy what looks to be an expansive outdoor patio. Until then, I’ll be dreaming of tapas and flamenco. ?”
“For our Valentine's Day lunch we had the place practically to ourselves. The food and server were excellent. Afterward a stroll around the grounds was most enjoyable. We will be back.”
“New Mexico Hard Cider has the largest selection of ciders on tap we had ever seen. Particularly good were rhubarb, apricot, tart cherry, sangria and blueberry. We order several flights to get a large sample of everything. Service is excellent. Seating is at the bar, on sofa , at tables or outside. Prices are very reasonable and the ciders are brewed locally.”
“We had guests visiting and took them to Cafe Grazia. Having never been there ourselves ,we were hoping for the best-and we got it! The food was delicious and the service was very good. We will be adding it to our list of go to restaurants.”
“I have been coming to Cleopatra's to get my Mediterranean fix for 15 years. The food never disappoints and I have tried almost everything on the menu. Large portions, good price, good service. Consistency between both locations too.Vegetarian options: Falafel would be the vegetarian "meat" alternative. Most foods are vegetarian though, meat is added on the plate, not inside the foods.Dietary restrictions: You can substitute easily with them and they have a large span of options, you can even get vegan style if you want.Kid-friendliness: Booster seats, open seating.Wheelchair accessibility: Downstairs and the sidewalk has accessibility”
“Celebrated our anniversary with some of the best food we’ve ever had. Fantastic service, a sweet cozy atmosphere, and the timing was just perfect. All the dishes we had were fresh and perfectly cooked. Thank you for a beautiful experience. A dinner to remember.”
“The fastest tacos on the block. Tripe tacos are a delicacy these days, and El Kochi Loco leaves you more than satisfied with the most epic crunchy, but tender, tacos with the traditional cilantro and onion toppings. The red and green salsas are a great compliment to any pork fixings you choose. This place is definitely all about those craving for good pork and hot food. They're super fast and friendly even during their busiest times. I love the Tamarindo jarritos, but this time I had to go with the bottled sangria. Looking forward to another visit very soon. Very convenient to those passing through town, or the busy locals who crave for some good old traditional Mexican food, served blazing fast.”
“The food was amazing, the service was incredible, the bar….. seriously lacking. Ordered one drink and was told they didn’t have the ingredients to make it, ordered another and what I got was a disaster. No large rock ice, but your standard ice cubes so drinks water down almost immediately. A whole muddled orange slice and zero attempt at garnishing an old fashioned. I didn’t ask for a mushed up orange that gave me pulp in every sip. Would have been a 10/10 experience if the bar staff knew how to make the most classic of cocktails. My steak was cooked perfectly and was delicious! The waitstaff were attentive and kind and I truly loved every aspect of the restaurant besides the bar.”

“Lots of new staff so it can take a little longer than some but zero mistakes were made. Great drinks and food. Lots of options. Cute shop on the other side. The owner was super friendly.Parking: Parking on both sidesKid-friendliness: Family friendly”
“My fiancée and I stopped by the farmers and the cafe on the way out. We both got Mexican hot chocolates, and OMG!!! The absolute best Ive ever had. Service was amazing.”
“If I lived in Santa Fe, this would be my go to place even if I were not gluten intolerant. The food is outstanding, with wonderful, friendly and informative service! Great restaurant for a group where the members of the party have different food requirements- vegan, vegetarian, meat lover, etc. And here you can be gluten free AND vegetarian. Five stars!!”
“I had the experience of visiting Cafe Greco when I was visiting Santa Fe and i absolutely loved it! The food was amazing and I hold greek food to high standards but this was excellent. The service was great and I really enjoyed meeting the owners, they were very nice. I also love the location seeing as I get to watch over the beautiful Canyon Road.”
“This is a food truck, so I got them to go. The meat was very flavorful but not as moist as I've had before. I got the red salsa, which was very hot, and I do like hot. I will definitely be going back.”
“Been a long time fav. I still miss the huge amount of ciders on the board in the old days. Changes can be hard and they just did a total remodel and expansion. Food and drink is more expensive than before and less flexible as far as tacos but what we had was still great. Maraud is a great bartender too.”
“Absolutely loved this restaurant….!Vibe was really great…staff was knowledgeable, very friendly and just fun….Margaritas were ahmazing! We had guacamole…so good….I had the fish tacos…top notch !”
“Interesting decor lots to look at and discuss. Staff were friendly. Beer was cold and tasty. Not the best I have ever had but good. More choices of beer if you like hops.”

“Love that they have rotating coffees on brew each day. Great coffee and friendly atmosphere. There’s a bakery next door too so it makes for a great breakfast spot.”
“We enjoyed everything. Fresh sashimi and rolls. Great presentation and tasted very good. One small note, I wish Spider Rolls were not so wide as it was hard to eat.”
“I ordered tacos (lengua/AlPastor) and they came out perfect and the dinning room they provide in front of the stand was clean with all the condiments fully stocked. Def recommend these tacos if you want a quick and good bite to eat!”
“What an absolute gem. Quite possibly the best pollo asado I've ever had.I got the whole chicken which was a TON of food for an incredible price, and came with lots of sides (excellent fresh salsa, beans, corn tortillas, pickled onions, and a baked potato??). Leftovers were almost as good as the the first day. I can't wait to come back. Going to order another full chicken and take it to work all week. The wings also looked tasty. I wish they offered complementary water cups, but this is a small gripe in the big picture.”
“This is easily one of my favorite sushi spots in Santa Fe. I love the sashimi plate and typically will order seaweed salad, miso soup, sashimi, and two sushi rolls. I have so far enjoyed everything that I have had here and will continue to recommend it to those who have never been!”
“We love Santa Fe and all of it's authentic cuisine. That being said we were in need of fresh and green and Vinaigrette was absolutely delicious.. perfect dressing to salad ratio. Fresh literally out of their gardens. Highly recommend this amazing place..”
“we were seated in the brewery next door as they were full (same menu, same family owning both) amazing pizza probably the best we have ever had. we got the margherita and tomato/pesto pizzas. one of us got a beer for free because it wasn’t a full pour which was very nice. would recommend wholeheartedly!”
“It was very busy, but it was worth the wait! I received world class service, and 5-Stat food. The cocktails were delicious, they had my favorite champagne in stock, and the food was so good looking, I forgot to take pictures!”
“Such a cute spot with excellent coffee options like the "Bon Bon" (my favorite) but also a few pastry and sandwich options. Up to La Boca standards, meaning everything is excellent. Huge bonus that it doubles as a great gift shop if you're on the way to a party- with specialty olive oils, charcuterie, tinned fish, kitchenware, etc”
“I stopped by here today with my family who's visiting from out of town, and overall we had a great time. We were instantly drawn to this place because of the beautiful patio area, and ended up staying because of the tasty guacamole and drinks! Plus their Horchata is top notch- best I've had in awhile!”
“One of the best (and least expensive) happy bar menus in Santa Fe. Best kept secret status. Excellent & friendly staff, great variety & quality (both happy hour & regular menus), great atmosphere. Definitely a favorite.”
“We got the Norteno pizza although it was hard to choose! Wood fired and came out very quickly. Fresh with great flavors. New Mexico flare with the green chiles. Good break from all the southwestern food we've been eating. We Would return!”
“Called ahead to confirm if they are able to make vegetarian chimichanga with veggies in it as opposed to may be just cheese and beans.Chef delightfully agreed to make it a custom order. Came with side of beans, rice and avacado.They are small in size (pack of 3) but quite good. Had a good time eating chimichangas we were craving!”
“I have always liked this place even in the summertime opening of the summer fiestas to in Santa Fe as being one of the black entrepreneurs here in Santa Fe that owns a cannabis store I recommend this place to everyone in the near future to explore and taste the phenomenal differences of beer that Santa Fe brewery has to offer”
“Very nice restaurant, great, attentive, fast customer service. The food was hot, fresh and delicious! We went to their buffet for lunch and they were extremely busy. The was no parking so we parked by the road. They are a little bit pricey. We paid over $80 for two adults and a child and two mango Lasses. Everything is expensive nowadays though. If you love Indian food and in Northern NM this is a great place to eat.”
“I met my bestie for lunch at TVM on Saturday. We were seated right away. It was such a cute country store with extraordinary food! We highly recommend the Green Chili Posole, and the Tortilla Soup. We also recommend their AMAZING Tres Leches cake. It was the BEST I have ever had?.”

“I don’t usually post 4-star reviews. Where’d the 5th star go? Not wild about the atmosphere (don’t hate it, don’t love it). But the service is so excellent that I almost went 5 stars anyway. The battered fish was excellent (and not overcooked!). Fries were fine. Tartar sauce a little too artsy for my tastes. Loved the house Silvercoin margarita (maybe too much ?). Can’t overstate the excellence of the service, which WILL bring me back. Thank you, Evan and Lain, for taking good care of me!”
“Delicious! Exceptional Duck… Tastiest lobster risotto… service wonderful… No matter where you’ve dined, you will not be disappointed here. The chef prepared everything perfectly.”
“It doesn't look like much from the outside but inside is a different story. Everything I've had here has been good other than the dumpling dipping sauce was good but not my favorite. They have a tea with an odd name that is great.”
“This may be my favorite place in town for fine dining, and that is saying a lot in a town like Sant Fe. Our server, Miguel, was an absolute delight. We were seated in the Jazz Club and were entertained by a very talented group of musicians all evening. The atmosphere is really upscale but also very cozy and charming—not at all stuffy or overly formal. The wine and spirits list is super impressive. And the food was superb. The menu is thoughtful and creative. Presentation is everything — beautifully plated with edible flowers, etc. And, the flavors! Each meal was perfectly balanced, delicious, perfectly cooked, and had surprising flavor combinations (venison with chimichurri?! Who knew!). Most of all, we were celebrating my husband’s birthday and the staff was super accommodating. They allowed me to bring in a birthday cake which the presented to our table and served. They had the band play a jazzy happy birthday tune, and just generally made the whole evening extra special. Even the chef came out to our table to wish my husband well. La Casa Sena is an absolute gem.”
“Love going on Wednesdays and Saturdays for their prime rib. It is the best I have ever had. Great value. Will be going again next weekend. Have also had their prime rib sandwich. It is also excellent.”
“Some of the best beer I’ve had in a while. Every beer on tap was unique and had incredible flavors and aromas. People in the brewery were also rad. Must stop for beer enthusiasts.”
“Amazing as always...Great food, drinks, atmosphere and everyone from Josie, all staff and guests so friendly and kind..Great conversation and I always leave with a smile! ** Update: new staff. Still excellent and accommodating ! Thank you Sebastian for the amazing timely service before my flight !!! ”
“Took my grandkids here for a late lunch. The food and service were very good it is like a cafeteria type setting but quaint, good Japanese music as well. I had a very good pan beef with rice noodles, delicious. Everyone else had the rolls, avocado, California, veggie catapiller, tuna, happy, and the shrimp roll, with a side of meatless Japanese fried rice. They didn't have any mango mochi, but the strawberry one was good. It was a bit short on the edamame, but it was good. I did like their iced green tea, very tasty. The place is clean and the staff is very attentive. Plenty of parking.Vegetarian options: One of my granddaughters is a very strict vegetarian, and she enjoyed the menu items on it.”
“Great experience here. Ordered at the counter and the server was super friendly. Food and drinks were brought to us and were delicious. All staff were very friendly and warm.”
“Newly arrived in Eldorado, we were looking for a restaurant nearby for dinner. We stumbled upon Arable at the Agora market, tucked in the back corner. The food was delicious! I had the bison bolognese and my husband had the spicy chicken Alfredo. Both with homemade pasta!!! The salad we ordered as an appetizer was crispy and perfectly dressed which is not always the case. The service was prompt and the staff was delightful and friendly. Light piano music in the background set a tranquil mood and allowed for conversation. We were so impressed that we went back a couple of days later (still not unpacked!!). We both had the braised short ribs with mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts. Absolutely as tender as we've ever had! the mashed potatoes were buttery and the sprouts were crisp perfection. The server, Jiang (sorry if I misspelled!) was professional and attentive. A second 5 star experience within a week!! We will definitely be back soon! Thank you Arable!”
“A very busy restaurant. We had reservations and waited an additional 20 min, not bad on a Friday evening. Friendly staff are hustling. We each had the mixed salad with a lemon dressing and split a penne pasta dish. More than enough food for two. Delicious.”
“Came here for lunch on a snowy and was pleasantly surprised: carrot ginger soup in coconut milk was not too heavy yet really tasty. We also got stirred fried veggies, which were also great. They’ve got a wide selection of loose leaf tea. Highly recommend.”
“Got in late, looking for a place to eat. Ended up getting take out from a nearby restaurant and dining at the tap room. Beers were great and reasonably priced. Bartender friendly and helpful in suggestions for food and provided menus.”
“A higher end bar and lounge experience in Santa Fe. Unlike a few other places that are up and down for top prices, Anasazi has consistently fulfilled on that promise and level of expectation. The drinks are top notch here and the food is decent enough although a little pricey. My favorite bartender here, Katie, left this spring but the others have done well with drinks here too.”
“Pleasant staff. Convenient location. Menu is a bit too complex, but with a bit of help from the friendly staff, one can make an informed and tasty choice. The main quandary is what to do with the extra cheese biscuits left at the end of the meal.”
“We went for lunch on a Saturday. The service was great and the food excellent. There were five of us and we each got something different. It was my first time there and plan to go back often.Parking: It was a weekend, so it might be a little tougher on a weekday to park.”
“I had the chicken and rib baskit. The food was delicious. But the portion was really small it came with 3 tiny ribs and small chicken tenders, like if it was an appetizer”
“Food was great, service was wonderful ,will be going again soon and will recommend this place to go out to eat. It's messy but they give you bibs which you will need .”
“I ordered their delicious burger while sitting at the bar last night. After a longer-than-expected wait for my food to arrive the Assistant Manager Alex Saiz came out and personally explained that there had been a "glitch" in the kitchen's ordering system and they were not receiving the order tickets. He apologized and explained that the glitch was fixed and that my food would be out shortly. He offer to bring bread and butter while I waited and asked if there was anything more I needed.Ok. . . glitches, mistakes, mishaps, et.al. happen. I've always felt that it's how you RECOVER from these glitches that speak to one's professionalism. ALEX SAIZ, THANK YOU for being so professional. You immediately defused what many times is a bad experience for a diner and turned this encounter into one that made me smile. Congratulations! Rio Chama on having Alex on your team.”
“I was so disappointed as was my better half. We waited to be seated for 10 minutes because the host was MIA. Indeed, he was MIA so much time passed that another couple left. Then there was the lone young woman that gave up and settled for a bar stool.We came because the reviews were good but we never experienced what those guests did. The service was slow and the 2 waiters were certainly overwhelmed.The seabass was underwhelming and was chewy which is hard to do.We did enjoy the risotto and sautéed spinach but, at these prices .. it was simply not worth it.On another note, we recommend La Fonda as the service was so attentive and the food was spectacular.Perhaps send the staff there to take note of La Fonda staff in action.’.”
“I love coming to this restaurant. Amazing food every time and Great costumer service. I’ve been eating here since at least 2016. Even when I have left the state I missed this food! I recommend you to eat here I promise you, you won’t be disappointed!”
“We gathered here for Easter with a large group, we all had a different dish but the most delicious of all was the chicken with rice and try the margaritas you won’t go wrong a little piece of Mexico City at Gabriel’s. Romantic and very friendly staff make it even better”
“Back in the day, my aerospace coworkers and I would go to Gardena, CA and have terrific authentic Japanese food for lunch. Sushi8 is reminiscent of a small Japanese family restaurant experience. The seafood was fresh; I'll be back.”

“It's rare to find a restaurant where atmosphere, service, and great food all come together, especially in an over "touristy" place like Santa Fe. Adelitas is wonderful.”
“Delicious food! I've been here 3 times now to try something different each time! Portions in their hand held burritos are large, 2 meals for me unless it's a post hike meal! Very friendly staff each time I go! Tamales are amazing and spicy!!!I'm in town from Kansas city working for the next 5 months! Can't wait to complete the menu except menudo(not a fan), don't let that stop you from trying it!!”
“You want good tacos THEN COME HERE!!!With out the Santa Fe prices and better then Tho attitude . And with the nicest staff in SF this place takes my 1st place for TACOS! A Must try are Vaquero Taco plate. (Cowboy tacos) Your taste buds will come to LIFE on the first bite. The staff is on top not even letting my coffee get cold & my water and limes stay fresh. For dessert a must is the fresh creamy FLAN ?. If you like American food the Ribeye and skinny fries top the list.So come in hungry leave w a smile and a wobble. Remember always tip accordingly!I GIVE THIS SPOT A 5+ stars”
“Draft Station is a neat little bar that serves up the entire menu of the nearby Rooftop Pizzeria along with their drink offerings. In fact, I came here in search of pizza and only found Draft Station because the folks at Rooftop Pizzeria informed me their space was closed for a private event.I wish I could speak more to the drinks here, but the pizza was the sole reason I came. On a Thursday afternoon when the vibe was a little quieter, the pizza was fantastic. I ordered a margarita with additional mushrooms ($2 per extra topping), and found it stupendous. The crust was crispy on the bottom with just an extra chew on the inside. I'm not typically a fan of sauce-less pies, but the fresh tomatoes, garlic spread, and fresh mozzarella were tasty enough that I didn't even notice there was no tomato sauce until I was halfway into my second slice.I liked it so much that I brought my husband back the next night. Things were much livelier on a Friday, with live music and more people. Service never faltered for a second - the folks here are warm, friendly, and efficient. Unfortunately, we found that the pizza was markedly different the second time around. There was a thicker ring of unadorned crust around the perimeter, along with a thicker and mushier crust in general. The garlic spread was also spread much more liberally than the last time, which overpowered the rest of the toppings and rendering our post-prandial breath inappropriate for most dates.Still, we loved the casual feel of the place and it might've just been a really busy night. There's a good number of tables and bar seats inside, but there are also some tables and chairs outside the restaurant in the arcade space. Just plop your number placard atop one of those tables so that the folks from Rooftop Pizzeria knew where to deliver the pie (we did this and found it to be a far quieter place to sit and eat than in the full dining room).Note: The Draft Station is on the second floor of what's called the 'Santa Fe Palace Arcade'. True, there are a few pinball machines and arcade games in the corner of an arcade store, but from street level it looks far more like a long hallway of stores selling goods and jewelry.”
“You're in Santa Fe and it's summer time which means it's always ice cream time. This place is located behind the tourist area but only like a five minute walk from the plaza. When we were here, there was one person working and a huge line so props and patience to the employee for being so kind and answering questions. Not all of the ice cream flavors are printed on the menu. Sometimes you would see some ice cream flavor bins not listed and you can always ask for the flavor. The sorbet was being prepped so it wasn't available. One of the flavors that wasn't listed was the basil and holy moly, the basil was the best flavor. There was something refreshing about the flavor. The basil aroma wasn't overpowering and it was just the right amount. As I was tasting my ice cream, I regretted not ordering two scoops of basil instead of just one. The vanilla was good but did not stand out compared to the basil.”
“We visited Santa Fe last week and we found the Indian palace and we tried their buffet menu. They have 4 vegetarian Subjis, rice, rice pudding, samosa, mango custard, and naan. Food taste is so good. As specially naan is so soft. Recommend to visit this place.”
“Absolutely. Amazing. There's a reason everyone in town, including other restaurants, get their tortillas here! Alicia and crew know how to make some fantastic traditional Mexican food. Huge portions, good prices, fresh, fast, delicious. Their chicken mole is to die for and easily feeds 2-3 people! Their enchiladas are also top notch. Used to eat here almost every week for lunch when I worked nearby.”

“This is a small local brewery that is kinda off the beaten path, yet close to Santa Fe Plaza. They specialize in kombucha based drinks, which is nice because they are doing something a little different. They space is small; however, there is potential for great outdoor seating. Outdoor seating would be nice to take advantage of the New Mexico weather. The bartender was great and knowledgeable. I ordered the Eastside Mocktail. If you enjoy citrus flavors, you will be happy with this offering. I would return and recommend this place.”

“If we could give it 10 stars we would. Best vegan meal we’ve ever had. Ingredients so fresh, taste and flavor on point, great vibes. Do not leave Santa Fe without stopping by Ras Rody’s.”
“My wife and I were in the mood for some good Thai in Santa Fe. We looked around and found a nice little hidden spot on Canyon Street. This area is very quaint and in a trendy art district.My wife had the yellow curry and I had the pad Thai. They were both full of flavor and their servings were decent. With tip included we paid $50.00. Great for a spare of the moment dinner date.We hope they add massaman curry to their menu. My wife’s favorite. :)Definitely recommended!”
“I was in Santa Fe for a business conference and googled coffee near me. Mud Hut was highly rated, for good reason. When I walked in I was pleasantly greeted by the barista. I ordered the Hawaii Dream. I chatted with the barista & another gentleman while waiting for my coffee. I didn't take a drink til I was halfway down the block. Holy deliciousness! I almost turned around to tell them how amazing this coffee tasted. I waited til the next day when I went in again. I ordered the El Jefe. This coffee completely made my day better. Thank you! Highly recommend.”
“Delicious food! We were visiting from out of town and stopped by this food truck and the food was amazing! Very delicious and authentic. We would definitely come back if we are ever in Santa Fe again. The food was so good I forgot to take a photo before I began but 10/10 would recommend.We did have to eat in our car since this is take out only, it is a food truck!”

“We ate at the Cantina. Food and service were great. I had the best seasoned steak in a taco that I've ever had. I thought the music was a bit loud for a Sunday night, but the view made up for it.One thing that is unclear though... I'm not sure why these restaurants are listed together -the Cafe and the Cantina . When we went here for dinner, we were told in no uncertain terms that the Cantina functions as a completely separate restaurant from the Cafe. As such, the reservations that we made at the Cafe were no good for rooftop seating at the Cantina. We ended up getting seats at the Cantina without a problem, but I don't know why they don't just list the places separately to avoid the confusion?”
“All I can say is, wow. The food was phenomenal. My husband got the burrito and I got the chicken enchiladas with Christmas on the side (red chili sauce and green chili sauce), we shared the chips and salsa. And to our surprise, Sopapillas came with the meal. We’d never had a one before and they were life changing! Luckily we eat dinner early so we didn’t have to wait to be seated. When we left, the line was out the door. I could happily eat my way through the entire menu if we had more time. The staff was friendly and the food was fresh. I highly recommend Tomasita’s I’d you’re in Santa Fe.”
“We had lunch before going into the tubs. The restaurant was clean and the food was really good. We had the rib sandwich and fish tacos. Both were excellent. The server was alright. Wouldn't say the friendliest but also not rude. I would totally visit again.”
“A small Italian restaurant off the busy tourist bustle of downtown Santa Fe. Sophisticated low key. Elegant, yet casual. I had the most amazing pizza in my life: mushroom &arugula with paper-thin crust. My husband had a shrimp capellini pasta that was light and elegant. Excellent service. Our favorite restaurant in Santa Fe this visit.”
“The Pantry has never disappointed. The people are so friendly and the service is speedy but we have not once felt rushed.The food is delicious and fresh with large servings. The leftovers make for a marvelous breakfast.”
“Went for an early dinner, had to wait 45 minutes to be seated, but luckily we had drinks while we waited. Once seated the young waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was pretty good, chili hot n spicy. The guacamole was very good as well.”
“Greatest resteraunt I have ever been to. Every one is exceptionally classy, polite, and it is very clear they genuinely take pride in their establishment. The food was amazing, the service was amazing, and the place was beyond spotless. Must go.”
“We dined here last night, about 2:30 in afternoon (three adults). Was surprised how busy you were, that is a good sign. We sat in the bar, at a booth, have dined here several times in the past. That said, the food was good, always love the barbecue, I might say the selections were somewhat typical for Santa Fe. I know this may be beyond your desire but the Margaritas were way too sour, had to ask for additive of simple syrup (which was brought immediately with a smile). It might behoove you to ask your patrons if they desire a sweet Margarita or sour. That said our (female) server was excellent, better than recent visit to Harry's Roadhouse, La Posada, and Rio Chama. Thank you! The deserts, wish you would offer more variety if possible. I went over the desert menu several times, couldn't decide which one was a little less blahhh. The cheesecake was bland and nothing special. Perhaps a slice of apple pie or such, would accompany the barbecue dinner nicely. All in all we have been coming to your establishment for years, the service and atmosphere is consistent and excellent. Cost was $125.00 with tip. I can also appreciate your response to the reviews, wow, shows a commitment to service and better than average fare. We are Santa Fe residents.”
“Located right next to the La Quinta in Santa Fe. The place has a great selection of traditional New Mexican eats with some live entertainment on Thursdays. Large and satisfying portions that were made with love and care for quality. Something for everyone on the menu for breakfast lunch and dinner.”
“Every bit of 5 stars, I’d give 10 if I could! The BEST breakfast burrito of my entire life, without a doubt! The best Chile ever and what Chile is SUPPOSED to taste like and I’ve been all over the state the past couple months and tried plenty! The service is kind, quick and on top of things and the atmosphere is totally laid back and relaxed! Also the bathroom is super clean and one of the nicest I’ve seen in any restaurant! A little pricey but definitely worth the price if you’re willing to spend it and can!”
“AMAZING Breakfast! Was visiting Santa Fe and was craving some Chilaquiles. Was so happy to see that The Pantry Rio serves them, and let me tell you... WOW! Not only were the chilaquiles excellent but all components on the plate were spot on with flavor! The beans, the potatoes, the amazing chile (Both red and green - Christmas style!) Cant wait to be back at Santa Fe to eat there again!! Thank you for making delicious food!”
“Awesome little Cafe! Delicious taste of Santa Fe favorites! The Pork Tamales were awesome! The guacamole was amazing! Love the Jamica! Going to stop by this place when I'm in Santa Fe! Great Service too! They were super kind and helpful! And the Tres Leches cake was some of the best I have ever had!Parking: It's downtown Santa Fe, we were able to find parking just around the corner but it can get busy.”
“Real great portion sizes and good and friendly folks, the only reason I give 4 instead of 5 stars on food is because something about the hash browns in the Grand slam combo was off although it wasn’t that it tasted bad just funny but everything else was delicious and on point!”
“Tres Colores is unforgettable! Fresh ingredients shine in their dishes. The chilaquiles, with its green chile sauce, is a standout. Fish tacos are both tasty and healthy. Don't miss the Tres Colores special margarita - it's worth having more than one!Tres Colores isn't just about the food; the service is exceptional too. The main host gentleman and the rest of the staff provide outstanding service, adding to the overall dining experience.”
“This review is based off of atmosphere alone it's an extremely beautiful little cafe I would really like to be able to come in and take a table and enjoy their food and service in this beautiful place because the atmosphere is so wonderful but it's always packed to the hilt and I can never get a table in a timely manner so we usually end up leaving this has happened a couple times but we won't stop coming and giving it a shot we just don't like to wait. I think what I'll do is call ahead next time and see if there's a possibility they might be able to put my name on the list or something I forgot to ask about that last time we waited in the doorway for 25 minutes just looking around lol”
“Wonderful dinner experience at Geronimo. Menu was not expansive but had something for every taste. The Elk was amazing as was the vegetarian tasting menu. Wine list was superb and the service was spot on.”
