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.“

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

“beef burrito was decent. However, the lady that packed the take away did so with it slanted and all the sauce spilled out onto the paper bag. I called to speak wirh Venessa the owner but she was busy. I verified with the lady that answered that she was the one who packed the food and explained to her what had happened and she was rude. Very poor customer service.“

“Excellent chicken quesadillas with green chilies!!“

“Best food on our SW journey. Great flavor, perfectly seasoned. Beans & rice were so well done. Wonderful staff.“

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

“I can now say I've had an authentic New Mexico breakfast. Breakfast burrito with red chile and carne adovada. My wife had the traditional breakfast. Excellent! Thank you.“

“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!!“

“Absolutely incredible breakfast burrito spot. The breakfast burrito was huge, packed generously with fresh, flavorful fillings, and every bite tasted homemade and made with care. What made the experience even better was the guy running it. He genuinely is one of the kindest people I’ve met. So sweet, welcoming, and full of heart. You can feel the care and pride that goes into both the food and the service, and that kind of authenticity is rare. The prices are unbelievably affordable for the amount and quality of food you get, and the service was quick without ever feeling rushed. Places like this are what local food should be; delicious food, generous portions, and genuinely good people behind it. This is the kind of food truck that deserves recognition. We'll keep coming back to and recommend to everyone.“

“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!“

“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“

“We have only eaten at this restaurant 3 or 4 times but it is now our go to. Not only is the service excellent the atmosphere and food wonderful……so very happy to have this restaurant so near us. Thank you“

“Beyond Wonderful BEYOND“

“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.“

“We visited the Tune-Up Cafe for a late midweek breakfast and enjoyed Christmas huevos rancheros and a vegetarian breakfast burrito. Asked for eggs over medium and they were exactly that. Sauces, especially the red, were flavorful, and portions were just right. We sat outside on the nice patio, and the service was pleasant and friendly. This was far enough away from the downtown plaza that it didn’t feel touristy, and we liked that. Nice people, delicious food. Check it out and support a small local business!“

“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!“

“Fantastic agua frescas, delicious rice and beans, sooo yummy salsa (I am not usually a dipper and I dipped every bite), and high quality shredded chicken quesadilla. I got a quesadilla from Fusion Tacos to compare, and this was definitely the winner.“

“Great good, service, and music!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“I would have give 5 stars to the experience had it not been for the very rude hostess on duty when we arrived 15 minutes early for our 7:00 P reservation. She said we could not be seated despite the fact that she had 3 tables that were completely empty. I would not have such an employee as the first person my customers encounter in any business I owned. We also did not appreciate the email we received telling us to limit our stay to 1. Hr 45 min given it was a Sunday night and the tables never did fill up. Not that 1 hour 45 min is not enough, but as a guest in the hotel, it is rude to send such a notice.“

“Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

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

“The food and service were outstanding. I had the flautas, my husband had the tacos plate. We had chips and salsa as well. The food came out with sopapillas. Oh my goodness was the food good. I couldn’t eat all of mine because I ate so many chips but I made sure to have a sopaipilla.
I highly recommend coming here. What a wonderful place.
It was super clean, people are so kind and friendly.“

“Excellent food and service!“

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

“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!“

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

“Was good experience, food was on point“

“I love Horseman's Haven. I've never had a bad experience here. Geeat food and great pricing. Good service and a clean friendly environment. Super cool bar set up too. Not sure if they serve alcohol here but its well worth the stop if you're in the area.“

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