About Atrisco Cafe & Bar

Atrisco Cafe & Bar is one of the better Mexican restaurants in Santa Fe, offering a diverse menu of delectable dishes. Their best offerings include the taco plate, enchilada trio, and huevos rancheros, as well as great burritos served with either red or green chile (or "Christmas" - a combination of both). The restaurant also serves up fantastic margaritas and a tasty breakfast burrito filled with eggs, hash browns, and bacon. The tortilla chips and salsa are also standouts, with the chips boasting a remarkable corn flavor and the salsa being both medium spicy and deliciously chunky. Diners can also indulge in the fluffy, cinnamon-flavored sopaipillas served with thick, wildflower-infused local honey.

For vegetarian diners, Atrisco's offers several options, including enchiladas, sopaipillas, burritos, tacos, and chili rellenos. Their vegetarian especial enchilada and stuffed sopaipilla are particularly praised for their flavorful and expertly prepared vegetables. The restaurant is quite popular, often with a wait, and the service is straightforward—taking orders and bringing checks with little else in between.

Recent reviews highlight the excellent New Mexican food served by friendly staff at a reasonable price. The lighter plate is just right for many, with leftovers often remaining. The sopaipillas are especially loved, especially when served with honey butter, elevating the experience. While some dishes like the menudo soup are considered just okay, the overall dining experience remains excellent, making Atrisco Cafe & Bar a must-visit for those seeking authentic and delicious New Mexican cuisine.
