New Mexican Restaurants in Santa Fe, NM

“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!“

“Attached to the Day Inn, they offer excellent Mexican food plus cheeseburgers. The service is fast and friendly,and the prices are reasonable.“

“Great for a couple looking for New Mexican food, just visiting from Kansas. Just good food.“

“The food was great, and the service even better! We were in a time crunch to eat and make it to an event, and we were seated immediately.“

“The NEW MEXICO food {breakfast, lunch, dinner} at this place is A+++++. Yes, I am a native New Mexican - I very much know about New Mexico food. The owners are very much involved. Your server may in fact be an owner. John Funk / Roswell, NM / john“

“Wonderful food and great service! Loved the Christmas chilies on my burrito!“

“Excellent chicken quesadillas with green chilies!!“

“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.“

“The Food is great! And Everyone is so nice!“

“ese lugar me encanta la comida es deliciosa mi familia y yo vamos cada fin de semana lo recomiendo 💯y todos los meseros son excelentes 👌“

“El mejor servicio y la mejor comida 100% recomendado 😋“

“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!!“

“Amazing 10/10 recommend the man who owns it is amazing super kind and friendly and very quick considering he’s by himself . Very affordable food! The tortilla on the tacos taste home made and thick! The burritos are amazing every time!!!

I also wanna add he was closed at this time of day that’s why the window is closed in the picture due to having a big order to make all by himself .. & he still was willing to make me my order and bring it out to me!!“

“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 eat there several times a week. Each time everything is the best. The food and service some of the best in Santa Fe, the coconut French toast is truly amazing.“

“I came up to same fe from Phoenix Arizona for a few days and decided to stop by to eat and saw this place , so I figured I stop on by and I must say I never heard of brisket nachos before but let me tell you it's so fresh and hot and was very good ! if I ever come back to Santa fe next time I will stop here again“

“Excellent food and service, I had the banana bread french toast that was so flavorful no syrup needed. My husband had the burrito and loved it. The coffee was sourced from Kenya and was constantly refilled needless to say the service was suburb. Highly recommend“

“My wife and I dined at The Pink Adobe on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. There was no wait time as we had a reservation. It was a special occasion, my wife's birthday. The ambiance was very nice; we sat inside as the music outside was a bit loud. Our waiter was very pleasant, although seemingly a bit overwhelmed. The food was very good but we were a bit shocked at the small size of the beet salad. We opted to share it and it would have been very little for one person. In addition, we were charged $8 for sharing. We were not informed about this charge ahead of ordering. We were pleasantly surprised to be served the traditional Pink Adobe apple pie as a birthday treat. All in all, it was a nice experience.“

“My husband and I discovered this place when found out that pretty much EVERYTHING closes at 8 in Santa Fe (unless you are looking for coffee, and those places close at 5! What is UP with that?). Anyway, clearly this is where all the cool kids hang out! Busy place, but there was plenty of room and fantastic service! Found a parking spot easily. Great diner vibe, and when I tell you the menu was extensive, I am not even joking! I wish I had been hungrier, or I would have tried more. Husband got a Wagyu burger with fries (I snuck more than a few fries… yum!), and I got a side of mashed potatoes (also yum!) and some sliced avocado. But the main event for us was the pie. Holy cow! We had no business finishing our slices… but we (almost) did! If you are hungry, or just want a bite of dessert and coffee late at night, this is the spot!“

“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“

“Delicious authentic food, we will be back!“

“I love love love the beef gorditas. They are fantastic and never disappoint.
The owners are sweet and always kind.
Give them time because they make it fresh to order, so it takes a while.
You absolutely need to get some gorditas STAT!!“

“We went to Los Amigos after visiting Meow Wolf. Family of 4- kids 5 & 8. Tortilla chips were delicious- fresh & not greasy- salsa had a good kick but not too spicy. *Loved* the guacamole but the cheese dip was chunky- similar to Rotel melted w Velveeta. The decor was cozy & well chosen, consistent w Southwestern theme. Felt like a local eatery- best kept secret. Kids had chicken strips (2 HUGE pieces) & grilled cheese. Both were fully eaten. Mom had 2 chicken enchiladas w red sauce & Dad had a special. Both came w a sopaipilla & honey. We cleaned our plates. But the crowning glory was the massive piece of 4-layer chocolate cake. We're talking Guiness World Book level size. So big that the 4 of us couldn't finish it!!! Will be back again- no question!“

“Very beautiful theme, great big drinks and the queso fundido is delicious.“

“The service was awesome. What was aggravating was that we had reservations but the people in front of us did not. He made a fuss ...they found them a table...but not good enuf.. we had to keep waiting...the more he fussed...the better his location got. Frustrating for those of us who reserve.“

“Super yummy enchilada red, tamales, sopapillas, chips and salsa!!!! Really enjoyed our meal and our service!!!!!! Will be back again!!!! Small, cozy place - highy recommend!“

“Food is great. Quite pricey, but I guess that kinda goes with the location. They could use more waitstaff, although that certainly isn't a dig on the staff working there.

Also, I overheard another customer ask for sandwiches. No sandwiches. She said the sign outside said otherwise.

Neat place overall.“

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

“Excellent food and service!“

“Great good, service, and music!“

“Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Amazing stall and to Top it off gear beer! A must stop when in Santa Fe!“

“My husband said we should have eaten dessert first! The food was so good it was difficult to imagine the dessert would have been easy better. and yet… oh my goodness! The sopaipilla and fried ice cream were so scrumptious we did not eat until the next day because we were so full from the meal. Sincerely, you are doing yourself a disservice if you miss the restaurant. It is right off of the main highway, making it both visible and easy to find. we were lucky enough to be there on a day when they had a farmers market across the street with piñons and other goodies you could take home. DO NOT MISS THIS RESTAURANT!!!!“

“Great breakfast burrito. I had the brisket and it was amazing.“

“Was good experience, food was on point“

“This place is awesome, we are in town visiting from San Antonio Tx. So this chilled little spot was perfect for us to get away and kick back from the crazy loud city life. Oh and we are guests there as well the rooms are cleaned abs well maintained definitely will be staying here next time we are in town!“

“It just doesn't get any better than this for authentic, traditional New Mexican food! The flavor and heat of the chilies is incredible! Some of the silkiest red I've ever had. I'm a native New Mexican living in Colorado. Every time I drive back to Albuquerque, I stop at Horseman's first!“

“Looks like Marias is Back! Great margs....and great NEW MEXICAN food.. That's what I grew up with....in Santa Fe....“

“Enjoyed a Tuesday afternoon late lunch. The chicken Cobb salad was fantastic, very fresh, diverse veggies, well proportioned and well portioned. Place is clean and quiet in the day, higher end setting I bet is beautiful at night. The server who helped me was experienced and to the point. I look forward to trying more dishes.“
