Atrisco Cafe & Bar is one of the better Mexican restaurants in Santa Fe, known for offering a diverse menu of delectable dishes. Their best offerings include the taco plate, enchilada trio, and huevos rancheros, along with great burritos served with either red or green chile, or “Christmas” - a combination of both. The restaurant also serves fantastic margaritas and a tasty breakfast burrito filled with eggs, hash browns, and bacon. The tortilla chips and salsa are standouts, with the chips having a remarkable corn flavor and the salsa being medium spicy and deliciously chunky. Diners can indulge in fluffy, cinnamon-flavored sopaipillas served with thick, wildflower-infused local honey.
For vegetarian diners, Atrisco's provides 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, but they efficiently seat guests after a short wait. The service is straightforward—taking orders and bringing checks with little else in between.
Recent reviews emphasize 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, particularly when served with honey butter, enhancing the experience. Diners have enjoyed dishes like the chicken blue corn enchilada and beef taco, noting the red and green chili as incredibly good. The beef taco is highlighted as one of the best, made from local raised beef ground in-house. While some dishes, such as menudo soup, are considered just okay, the overall dining experience remains excellent. Atrisco Cafe & Bar is a must-visit for those seeking authentic and delicious New Mexican cuisine.
