50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Santa Fe

“everything about this atmosphere and dining is a "yes". but I give it an extra kudos because the chef himself came out and gave my dogs a fresh chicken treat. good times, great people.“

“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.“

“Green Chile Stew was Awesome!!“

“So unique! Very delicious !“

“We are always recommending this place to our guests so we decided to check it out for ourselves and we were not disappointed. Owner brought a grande margarita that was sooo tasty. We ordered the combo plates. Huge portions and so very tasty. Tina was such a gracious host, Sopapillas were huge and lots of honey. Oh, we will definitely be returning!!“

“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!“

“This food truck has the best tacos that I have ever had!! They were absolutely amazing! On top of the food, the service was top tier and joyful which is something you rarely see in restaurants. I would recommend this food truck if you are visiting Santa Fe for the first time or have been here your whole life. It is truly a gem of Santa Fe.“

“Some of the very best tacos I’ve ever had. I’ve been here three times and the food and service is excellent. Very friendly staff and great prices. You can get two full meals out of 1 breakfast burrito here, they are giant. The tacos are a must try, very authentic and delicious.“

“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.“

“Best menudo ever! Best burrito mole ever! Very authentic! Well worth the trip! Would recommend this restaurant hands down!“

“SUCH AMAZING TACOS!!! A friend recommended this place and it did not disappoint. I shared an order of veggie vegetarian tacos with my spouse and it was the perfect amount of food for lunch. It came with green and red sauce and I found myself wanting to pour the green sauce right into my mouth. Top five tacos I've had in my life.

Highly, highly recommend.“

“Fine food, great service, very roomy space with lots of parking. Wine and beer choices are decent. Has AC cooling. Not a long wait for a table most of the time. Highly recommended. Tom.“

“We love Tomasita’s & come here every time we are in town. It is always packed, but the service is always amazing. We think this is the best New Mexican food in Santa Fe!“

“The breakfast were great!“

“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.“

“Good service best deals in town.“

“I love love living by Posas. I've had just about everything on the menu and not one disappointment. Recently I ordered off their catering menu for a lil baby shower I was having, and everything was a hit, they loved the food. Even in bulk this place rocks. Can't go wrong here I've even gotten some of the frozen items they have and just as good as fresh stuff. I will forever be a fan n frequent customer. B“

“Amazing food and great staff! Best red chile breakfast burritos in town“

Don't pass this place , you'll be missing out !“

“Food service and ambiance are fantastic. Best coffee in NM ☕️“

“My wife and I took a trip to Santa Fe, and spent the majority of our time on the Square in downtown. One afternoon, we happened to stop by this restaurant, a few miles south of downtown. We were simply hungry and looking for a generic, quick experience, before heading back downtown. Let me tell you what, our experience was top notch at Los Potrillos. From the moment we sat down, we had incredible service, with exceptionally fast response times for drink and food orders. The service was great, the food was good, and the overall experience was surprisingly excellent. Highly recommend this place!“

“Pues no le pude dar medio millon de estrellas como queria por que solo me dejan darle 5 pero si pudiera venir caminando desde Florida todos los dias para comer tacos de los de ustedes, lo haria feliz de la vida. Tremendo servicio, buenisimo ambiente y la comida? Orgəsmica de tan rica. No dejen de hacer las ricuras que hacen, vuelvo por mas y no es broma...“

“In my humble opinion this is the best taco truck in Santa Fe. Portions are great, price is great, the taste of the food is authentic and the customer service is even better. I showed up last night at 6:55pm and they did not turn me down unlike other places.“

“The restaurant is our absolute new favorite in Santa Fe! The food was out of this world and the service and presentation was exquisite! What a gem! The owner was so friendly and chaming!

Vegetarian options: I have the suiza enchiladas and they were the best I have ever had! A very special recipe!“

“Whenever in Santa Fe we stop at this cart for world's best pork tamales & beef fajita burritos. I cannot say enough about his food! Why bother with sit-down restaurants when you can go to this cart for $3 tamales & $8 burritos!!! You will not walk away hungry.“

“Delicious authentic food, we will be back!“

“Our first time and WOW - if not for any other reason, this restaurant is why I would want to return to Santa Fe. Location is in an alleyway off The Plaza through a red door. As soon as you open that door, magic just floods your senses! The sound of love piano music, smells of Mexican spices, warm tones and paintings on the walls…just amazing! We were seated promptly and served. The horchata is homemade — amazing!!! Salsa has that fresh NM chili flavor to it! The food was amazing. The musician - Charles, who entertained us for the evening was fabulous! He even called me up to play maracas for him! We had a wonderful time! The food was superb, atmosphere felt like home, customer service was excellent! All around a 10/10 experience!!!“

“Food was pretty good for it's price. The Mexican Mocha was delicious. The staff didn't seem particularly elated to be there and one of the drinks was forgotten about with the order until I reminded staff about it. Outside of that, not a bad experience.“

“Stayed in Santa Fe for a couple of nights and really wanted some affordable delicious food and Pollo Asado was just that! For $20 we got the taco plate with 4 tacos beans and rice and a huge burrito. Food was DELICIOUS and fresh!! Also the hot sauce was bomb“

“está muy rico y tiene variedad“

“This is the best spot for breakfast burritos for 50 miles, and it’s always freshly and quickly prepared. My husband asks me to pick up a bacon and red anytime I’m going by, and I get the sausage and green. I’ve also had an excellent chimichanga, carne adovada burrito, and Chile relleno burrito. We are trying their tamales tonight, which were hot and waiting.We make more trips than we have to so we can stop by!“

“good food and not expensive.“

“Pepe's has the best breakfast burritos by far that I had!!! The green chili burrito is the best! Potatoes, eggs, cheese and green chili are awesome with your own meat or beans! The tortilla is homade and has the right crisp! Excellent!“

“Absolutely amazing food. Jose brings a great atmosphere to the food options“

“It was recommended to us by friends that they had the best red pork tamales, so we purchased some red pork and sweet tamales - they were some of the best we've eaten! They also have a huge selection of pan dulce (sweet bread), pastries, homemade bread and tortillas!

“OhhhEmmmGeee! Hands down the BEST food in town. We are traveling on a road trip and have been to lots of places and happened to stumble upon Sopaipilla Factory and so glad we did.

Vegetarian options: They have a huge selection of vegetarian and GLUTEN FREE options.“

“Great good, service, and music!“

“I had lunch here with 3 friends, and we were all very happy with our food, service, and atmosphere! The prices are very good, and the portions are very generous. We ate indoors, but the outdoor space looks so beautiful that I think we will sit there next time.
Parking is really easy, and the lot is ample. The drive down here is beautiful, too, and it seems that there are fewer people here on the weekends, so service is really quick.
I had the burger with double meat, cheese, guacamole, and green chili, and it was absolutely delicious! No one went away from there hungry.“

“Great Food, Friendly, Expedient Staff.“

“Very good food and the people that fun the place are a great family You will love their food give it a try“

“Todo muy sabroso especialmente la birria y el menudo. Se los recomiendo“

“The food tastes amazing along with it's quality, my favorite part of this place are their Aguas frescas which they make themselves daily so it's as fresh as it is delicious. The woman who takes your order is warm and easy to talk to. I have been a customer for many years and I definitely recommend it if you're looking for a meal while you shop. The food does take a while to make (generally eight to ten minutes) but it's worth it.“
