“This place is ridiculously DELIGHTFUL. The character of the restaurant, the decor, the staff... it's just a perfect little gem. If you get a chance, try to eat on the patio. I've had Indian food through the years and always like trying new things, but I'd never had a doja or experienced this tradition of food. Of course, I had to try the paper dosa... I mean, if they're gonna name the place after the dish, hit me with your best shot! I have never seen anything like that on a plate, which immediately made me giggle when the server brought it! But, the taste was not funny. It was absolutely delicious. I'm reminded by the H. Jackson Brown quote, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do." This is one of those places you'll be disappointed to miss.”
“I've raved about this restaurant to anyone that will listen. My favorite meal in some time. The service is amazing, mocktails were delicious and well crafted, prices were great. Everything you want from a romantic dinner, you'll find here. We loved the homemade stracciatella with house made bread, the filet mignon, and the alaskan halibut. Oh my gosh, and the key lime pie! I will absolutely return on another trip. We sat in the dining room, but the patio looked stunning, with fans and a wonderful view.”
“This is a mixed review. Jospeh is a formidable chef, but the restaurant itself is run down, chairs uncomfortable, noise level excessive and service sketchy. Some of our food (Duck confit pad thai and mixed mushrooms) was excellent, but the watermelon gazpacho was way too heavy on the garlic, and my husband couldn't eat it. Tuna tartare was mediocre and overpriced. Waitress couldn't stop asking how things were "TASTING", but didn't wait for an answer! Building should probably be condemned and the decor is falling apart.”

“The food and preparation were exceptional. The wait staff were skilled, but service was slow. The main issue I had with the ambiance was the large dog accompanying the couple at the adjacent table. The dog made service to our table difficult, resulting and n my chair leg being kicked a few too many times. In my opinion, a dog has no business in a restaurant, especially a Michelin rated one. Come on Martin, if you want to be high end, dogs have no place inside.”
“My first visit to Izanami exceeded my expectations. Each dish was delivered in a well paced manner. Each dish was unique and delicious. Jenny, our server, was a gem. Her advice was spot on and her attention to us was top notch. I left an hour ago and am already wishing I could do it all over again.”

“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.”
“We ordered beef noodle soup, shrimp/pork wonton soup, pork buns and scallion pancakes. Their pork buns and scallion pancakes are exceptionally delicious, taste authentic Chinese food! Except we hope the pancakes should be larger and buns should be 6 for the prices they charge. As meticulous food critic, originated from China years ago, we are so happy to find this Chinese restaurant inside the super popular Santa Fe plaza! I love super spicy flavored food. Their red pepper sauce is soooooooo fresh and purely spicy. Highly recommend their hot sauce, pork buns and scallion pancakes!👍👍👍”

“Service was on slower side of things throughout the meal, but all servers were pretty nice. All of my tapas were pretty delish, and I really liked their Spanish mushroom soup, papatas bravas and and mussels with coconut milk salsa verde: everything was spot on. Their Spanish negroni cocktail was lovely, too. The gateau basque dessert kinda ruined my meal: it seems to have been sitting in the fridge for the day but it was certainly not made fresh and I could hardly taste vanilla bean in it. A lady manager came by and was rather kind to comp it after I declined to try another dessert instead.”
“Coyote Cafe Rooftop Cantina is an absolute must-visit in Santa Fe! Alana and Lauren were amazing, and the service was so warm and friendly that we actually went back for a second night. The food was incredible, the service was always with a smile, and the vibe is fantastic.
If you can get a seat overlooking the street, it’s absolutely worth it—you really get to soak in the energy and atmosphere of Santa Fe.
And the food! The Frito pie and carne asada tacos were out of this world! Everything was delicious, but those two were definite standouts.
Highly recommend this place. Great food, amazing atmosphere, and an incredible team. We can’t wait to come back!”

“Lovely dining experience. Whenever we are in Santa Fe, we always try and dine at R & R. The Smoked Pork Ribs (Starter) with Chipotle Carolina Sauce and Pickled Cucumber should be illegal!! They are that good!! And where else on the planet can you get shrimp and grits with the hunk of pork belly? I mean, seriously? Put this restaurant on your bucket list.”

“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!”
“The butter chicken was to die for and the naan was amazing it was soft, warm, and chewy! the atmosphere was very calming and laid back. The staff were exceptional and attended to everyone with great attention. if you want amazing Indian food with exceptional service and laid back calm atmosphere highly recommend India House!”
“If you haven't tried Alkeme, you must! To start with, the food is simply beautiful... and I don't just mean to look at. It is thoughtfully prepared and presented, but it is also creative and delicious. They also have a terrific cocktail program with some incredibly unique items on the drink menu that you're not going to find anywhere else. If a well made, interesting libation is your thing, go here. We sat in the dining room this time, but I have sat at the bar for a smaller bite when I was really looking for a great cocktail. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the attentive staff. They are well trained and very knowledgeable. We (once again) had an amazing experience and look forward to our next visit.”
“Our first time at the Ranch House was less than an exceptional experience. Our waitress, Peggy Lee was the most professional, courteous and friendly person I have met at a resturante. She made us feel like we were old friends . The food was absolutely the best flavored I have experienced. The prime rib plate was to die for and I wouldnt have known it was being served except our waitress, Peggy recommended it. Very heads up resturante. I wish we had a Ranch House in Wichita Falls Tx.”
“We had dinner tonight and had the worst service at Charlie's section. He was attentive to all the surrounding tables where patrons were drinking alcohol. He never came to our table with refills, no garlic bread. Out order was mixed up. Carolyn the manager was kind enough to give is a discount. if you visit this location please ask to sit at another servers section. very disappointed with Charlie. terrible service!”

“This McDonald’s on Cerrillos Road is perfectly situated if you are staying at one of the nearby hotels and need a quick, familiar option. The biggest advantage of this specific location is that the drive-thru is open 24 hours, making it incredibly convenient for early morning departures or late-night road trip arrivals.
Overall, it is a perfectly fine, predictable option for a fast-food fix, just give yourself an extra few minutes if the drive-thru line looks long!”
“fantastic food, service was great. the waiter was extremely informative and attentive! the BBQ sandwich was really good!”
“Lovely, cozy little spot with friendly, well informed staff and an astounding selection of teas and tea-related goods. A little tricky to find, ticked away as it is, but well worth finding. Will absolutely shop with them again.”
“Visited Santa Fe today and stopped in to try this quaint little restaurant. We really liked the salsa. Everything we ordered was wonderful and tasted exquisite. Large portions as well. Wait staff was Great and very nice and really made us feel special. I would highly recommend.”

“such an amazing place. I was born and raised in Germany on the border, what was then Tchechoslovakia and actually have visited the area the owner and some of her staff are from. the food is amazing, great atmosphere and can't wait to see how she Integrates more of her farm items into her lovely cafe! thank you for chatting with us today we look forward to our next visit here in Santa Fe and your place!”
“Food is absolutely delicious!! True to Soul Food. I am visiting from Louisiana for work. I was afraid I wasn't going to find good Soul Food cooking here. Someone in my office recommended this place and they did not disappoint!! I got the catfish and fries. Everything was absolutely delicious! The service was amazing as well! I will definitely be back to try everything on their menu! I am one happy Country Girl!! Thank you!!”
“Pastries are great, tarts are my go to especially the peach tart.
The breakfast menu is ok. I always get the Croque Madame.
The tuna in the tuna bruschetta was very unpleasant, steamed or boiled, makes it taste almost right out of a can. A smoked salmon would be a much better substitute.”
“Loved everything about their green chile cheeseburgers except the bun. Too big and makes the burger dry. But so far the BEST sweet potato and waffle fries, excellent!! Best of all is the sweet guy who took our order and brought us our food. His name RJ and he is a real asset to this establishment!!”
“I’m not a big fan of pasta but my husband is, we found this place while walking around downtown and exploring a bit, and we decided to tried. OMG this blow up my mind, mac&cheese here is DELICIOUS, if I wanna eat pasta I’m definitely coming back here, I don’t mind driving 4-5 hrs. Me and my husband ordered a size medium container of mac&cheese and it was super cheap and they give you A LOT. We were super full. Congrats to the owner.”
“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!!”
“We found this place near the end of our stay in Santa Fe NM, wish we had found it sooner! The place was always busy but the staff kept things moving and the food was delicious. Note that their hours are from 8am to 2:30pm Wednesday through Sunday, they do not serve dinner. Highly recommend.”
“Each item we enjoyed on the lunch and dinner menu was A-amazing. The attentive and well orchestrated staff was a delightful aspect as well.”

“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 had the chicken fried steak breakfast special. $13.75 for the steak smothered in green, , hash browns, two eggs, and two biscuits with gravy. Half for brunch and half I took home for dinner. What a excellent value, plus it was super tasty and well- prepared. We love this place!”
“I am a HUGE fan. Try the chile cheese fries. They're amazing. I prefer the green chile option. The fresh fruit smoothies are delicious and refreshing. The pricing, customer service, and atmosphere are excellent. Every time I'm in Santa Fe, I make a point to stop at Andale'.”
“We stayed at the Inn on the Alameda April 9th and 10th, 2026 while visiting Santa Fe for my uncle’s Celebration of Life. We cannot say ENOUGH about how wonderful this hotel is. It has a lovely atmosphere…the ambiance is SUPERB! It is quiet, quaint and very safe. The staff is the most courteous, warm, helpful and sincere of anywhere we have ever stayed. When I say staff, I mean ALL STAFF, from front desk staff, breakfast staff, house maid staff, parking staff and Joe’s Tequila Bar staff…they are GREAT!! It is obvious they love where they work and represent their jobs to the very best of their abilities. It is well located to be able to walk almost anywhere you need to go and you feel safe doing so. They have a wonderful free breakfast (more like going to a nice restaurant than a hotel). All of the food is fresh and very well presented. They have shuttle service if needed (we did not use, but it was offered to us if we got out and about and it was needed). We stopped in at Joe’s Tequila Bar (another perk of this hotel) both evenings before retiring for the night for a superb Margarita, fresh guacamole one evening and a very smooth shot of tequila the next evening….they had just began stocking this particular tequila. Joe’s has a darling patio area with shade umbrellas and heaters, but they also have inside seating for those who prefer that. This hotel earns our BEST RATING!!! Thank you Inn on the Alameda…we will be back ❤️”
“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”

“This place had the best churros my husband and I have ever had! We each got a flight, and I’d highly recommend doing so. I loved the Santa Fe one the most. I also enjoyed my chai latte. He got an iced coffee drink that was pure sugar and grossly sweet. But absolutely come here for everything else!”
“First time trying this spot and I have to say they won me over when I walked in was hit with a big smack of bacon . It smelled so good in there ! The food was delicious and fresh . Super busy but now I know why . 10/10”
“When you park in a busy, gravel lot next to businessmen in suits and laborers in safety vests, you know you’ve found a great lunch spot. We had a breakfast burrito and a Santa Famous burrito, and both were large and delicious—and still $5 each. We also tried a couple of the cute, little tacos. The red sauce was too spicy for me, so my husband took my portion that had that. I should have known as I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to spicy. It was a beautiful day to sit in the hidden outside picnic area behind the food trucks. We’d definitely return.”
“The breakfast burrito should be called the breakfast, lunch and dinner burrito! It is huge - and delicious! Get it Christmas style. The play of all of the flavors is just perfection. Honestly, this is probably the best breakfast I have enjoyed in my lifetime. I had it covered in cilantro as well and washed it down with their medium coffee... a perfect pair! Don't sleep on this place. One burrito and you'll be pondering a move to Santa Fe.”
“we ate here sunday with bloody marys and mimosas. the blue corn pancakes were extraordinary. we returned on monday because i always wanted to try chillquilles...so we both ordered a plate...they did not disappoint. the staff all were extremely attentive and kind. i wish we ate lunch here as well. there are no words to describe this gem, so go grab a meal and witness them for yourself. youll be returning”
“I can not say enough about Baked & Brew. I have not met the owner Kate Holland, but I have met her mom and have had numerous experiences as a customer. It is evident that great love, dedication and hard work is part of their genetics. 🧬 All the best for performing your own personal works of Art- after all, isn’t Art a Food Group?”
“My mom and I wandered in here after talking a stroll through canyon road. Both the owners happened to be in and were so lovely! We ordered coffee, a yummy cookie, and the avocado toast and then sat outside in the cute little garden patio. They also feature local art in different mediums! If you’re walking Canyon road, this is a great place to stop!”
“This food was beyond amazing. Food was fresh and carefully crafted. I would highly recommend not to season your food before trying. Additional seasonings are not needed as they know exactly what they are doing. The atmosphere was great, very clean. Service was phenomenal. We can’t wait to come back every time we’re in Santa Fe”
“My first experience at Agapao was great! Josh had amazing energy and enthusiasm and did a fine job with making my ‘Honey Rose Latte.’ I added vanilla and requested for it to not be too sweet. It was PERFECT! in all honesty the wait time was the equivalent of you walking into any physical brick and mortar establishment.”

“Delightful service and interesting wines at Herve Wine Bar. A gem in Sant Fe plaza area!!!!”
“I've been there a few times and really love this little Italian restaurant. Both friends I took there thanked me for it. I've had red-sauce classic dishes as well as meat and fish entrees with butter or cream sauces as well as olio e aglio. They are all good. The bread basket is served with warm marinara sauce.”
“The butter chicken was to die for and the naan was amazing it was soft, warm, and chewy! the atmosphere was very calming and laid back. The staff were exceptional and attended to everyone with great attention. if you want amazing Indian food with exceptional service and laid back calm atmosphere highly recommend India House!”
“So delicious!! We wanted to eat one of everything! And the chef is such a cheerful and kind person! 100% recommend!”
“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.”
“Came for the first time today. The food was out of this world delicious!! Everything is very fresh and tasty! We highly recommend this place. Great staff as well!!”
“❤️ There is no other place in Santa Fe like Ahmyo Wine Garden. I highly recommend!”
“Excellent service and food in a lovely setting. Superb wine list too!”
“Each and every visit, we enjoy something "new" to us - and the passion the chef(s) put into each of their dishes is truly remarkable. Do not miss Cafe Pasqual's. They will accommodate you for breakfast/lunch, and the wait is worth it. They do accept reservations for their dinner service.”

“I treated myself to a solo dinner at Terracotta Wine Bistro, and it couldn't have been a better experience. Dining alone can sometimes feel hit-or-miss, but the staff made me feel so genuinely welcome from the second I walked in—warm, attentive, and friendly without ever rushing me.
I started with the squash blossoms appetizer, which was cooked to perfection. For my entree, I had the stuffed poblano pepper, and that mole sauce was out of this world—truly the most delicious mole I’ve tasted in a long time.
Every dish was presented like a work of art, and the food quality was phenomenal across the board. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a fantastic meal.”
“Why did I wait to long to try this place?! The salad that comes with the bento box is dressed so deliciously. I had one of the weekly specials — tuna sashimi — and it was fresh and had great texture. Amazing. I’ll be back for sure.”
“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.”
“There has been a change to the breakfast menu, and it's so much better for that. My favorite change is to the Green Hummus Toast. It was a delight when it was made as an avocado based toast, but now is available with a delicious hummus spread. Featuring local sourdough bread that's lightly toasted topped with organic eggs that can be ordered in any style, (how they make the scrambled version so light and fluffy is beyond me) along with fresh red onion that is a complement and never intrusive. The feta cheese sprinkled on top just adds the finishing touch. My other suggestion? While this is a breakfast specialty, you might want a savory element, adding a side order of sautéed mushrooms. Yikes, that's really good!”
“Excellent food and service! My go to place anytime I’m in Albuquerque! Ceviche tacos are the very best!!!”
“We love the tacos and we adore the staff! Every time, the service is friendly, prompt and exceptional. Love this place!”
“Lovely evening: delish cocktails, tasty appetizers, terrific dinner & dessert. Wonderful service -- attentive & friendly.”
“What a find! We stopped at VARA for wine, cocktails and small plates and ended up having one of our favorite evenings in Santa Fe.
The drinks were excellent, but the tapas were the real surprise. Everything we ordered was thoughtfully prepared, interesting and genuinely delicious. This is not a place where the food is simply something to accompany the wine—the kitchen is doing something special.
Wonderful atmosphere, excellent drinks and truly top-notch small plates. We would absolutely return.”
“D-LISH-OUS!!! From start to finish, our meal was one of the best. Service was friendly, drinks were fun and with a twist, and dessert was outstanding. Probably one of the best cheesecakes served in the area. Return trip is required!”
““Wonderful experience at Gatsby! A special congratulations to Chef Rafa on his new menu. We tried the lobster and it was absolutely delicious — beautifully presented, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. You can really tell how much care and creativity went into the new dishes. Congratulations, Chef Rafa, on an amazing menu. We’ll definitely be back!””
“A great find. We wanted to try local cuisine and happened upon Magueyes on a side street. The menu is extensive; and the server recommendations did not disappoint. The tortilla chicken soup was amazing. The chile verde was excellent! Of course the house margarita was delicious. Really a great experience.”
“Intriguing menu, very well-prepared food, and the service was delightful. Common tables, which might sometimes be a problem, but we were seated beside lovely people. And the drinks were very good.”
“Loved spending our evening at Tumbleroot. Nothing beats live music, outdoor seating and good beer! We listened to 3 artists that evening and each one of them was 👌.”
“We have been coming to La Plazuela at La Fonda from Denver CO for 30+ years.
We were here tonight on 10-25-26 for an anniversary dinner with a 7:45pm reservation. We were greeted by the lovely gal at check in who wished us Happy Anniversary.
We were seated in the northeast quadrant of the restaurant. There were two tables of 10 guests each to the north of us. Everything was pleasant and we were having wonderful evening. Angel was our server. He was attentive and lovely. So this 1-star service review is not about him.
Toward the end of our meal several servers started standing around near our table in front of us blocking our view of the restaurant, and talking loudly. We motioned to Angel to get them to move and he did so.
The two tables of 10, so 20 people, left about the same time. We were relaxing after dinner and enjoying the rest of our drinks, when about 5 servers started talking loudly and stacking chairs right next to us, then dragging them across the floor right next to us. Then to our surprise they carried in different chairs from the check in stand entrance all the way through the restaurant to the tables next to us and started loudly dragging them around the tables right next to us. There were still at least 10 tables with gusts in the dining room.
This was really distracting and put a damper on our otherwise enjoyable and lovely evening.
As we were leaving I tried to tell the servers that their actions disrupted our evening. They responded that they had to set up for something tomorrow, and thought that made it ok. So I went to who seemed to be a manager at the check in, and he said the same thing. That’s not an acceptable response. Setting up for the next day can wait until the nearby guests won’t be disturbed.
I’m extremely disappointed that there wasn’t a more appropriate response from anyone about being sorry our anniversary evening was disrupted and that they would talk to the servers about not doing that in the future.
I was upset enough that I went back to reiterate what their actions had caused and finally got an apology.
Reminder: your guests pay your salaries, so do everything you can to make their experience enjoyable.
Again this is not a reflection of the service we received from Angel. He lived up to his name.”
“Why does the host ask me to sit outside when is 72 degrees and raining?1😒🙄🤔 Then the waiter completely ignored me, atleast the manager noticed and tried to make amends so I ordered bone in ribeye welldone, the chef decided to send well charred dried out bitter steak, it took me a while to figure out they are not used to having guests that look like me, I like my steak dinner every time I am on a work trip, I certainly won't be going back to Outback on Cerrillos Rd, Sante Fe NM, I hope the next time a guest that looks like me walk through your doors you will recieve them better than you did me...”
“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.”
“One of our favorite restaurants when we are in Santa Fe! Friendly and efficient service! Amazing food! My husband says the coconut cream pie is the best he has ever had!”
“The Omakase is great. Amazing saké selection. The staff is wonderful - very knowledgeable with good recommendations.”
“The food was fantastic! We had a lovely birthday celebration and Miquela was very attentive and took pictures of our group and recognized the birthday with a sweet potato cheese cake that was divine! My new favorite restaurant!”
“Sat outside which was great! Server, food runners, manager and staff were doing a nice job. You know going there it will be pricey but something doesn’t sit right at restaurants who charge a 20% food and beverage fee. I am glad I caught it because nothing was mentioned by staff. These fees aren’t fair to the servers. I hope they pay them out properly because to ask consumers to pay an additional 20% on top of the 20% is too much. Leaves a bad taste.”
“I can't speak highly enough about this restaurant. The atmosphere was lovely, staff wonderful and food beyond incredible. As someone with who is gluten free I've never had so many incredible options to choose from. Everything looked so fresh and delicious. I had one of the specials and it was such a beautiful meal. Even my husband who typically refuses to eat anything gluten free really enjoyed his meal. I could truly eat here every day. So fantastic!”
“Had a beautiful stay with our large family at El Rey Court!! We can’t wait to go back and visit again!! 10/10 recommend!!!”
“This place is pure magic! From the moment I stepped inside, I felt like I was transported to the heart of Mexico City. The food, the ambiance, everything was simply divine. It's a must-try for anyone who appreciates authentic Mexican cuisine and a touch of elegance”
“Very beautiful theme, great big drinks and the queso fundido is delicious.”
“Everything was made with quality ingredients. Our side salad looked beautiful and tasted even better. Our pasta and sauce all tasted home-made. Mine was cooked al dente. Zero complaints here.”
“The staff was amazing! And the food was outstanding!! The calamari was delightfully different but the best I’ve ever had!!
Go and you will see for yourself what a blessing it is to eat there and emerge yourself in culinary delight!”
“Wonderful service! Green chili cheeseburger and fries were so good!”
“I stopped in after a hike at Bandelier Park. I sat at the bar and was immediately attended too, despite the bartender being busy. She served my drink promptly and serving my water as I decided, which was very courteous. She took my order and I had one of the most amazing pasta dishes I have ever had, bar none! I have had a lot of pasta dishes all around the world and this one was excellent! It was bursting with flavor and the right amount of spice. I ordered the Fettuccine Gambieri alla Diabla, sooo good! I will definitely be back when I come during ski season! Extra props for the bartender she was amazing!”
“Such delicious food with all kinds of options made from high quality ingredients. Daily specials keep things interesting as well, and the drinks menu is extensive - although I always go straight for the Aperol Spritz! The restaurant is spacious with a variety of atmospheres to choose from, including a dog friendly outdoor patio.”
“If you love Japanese food, this one is close to home! The excellent taste of okonomiyaki and takayaki plus the sushi 🍣 and nagiri blew me away! I changed from being satisfied to be fatisied! Love every bite of it!!”
“This was some of the best food I’ve ever eaten, let alone in Santa Fe. The fried pickles were MINDBLOWING, thick cut and superbly crunchy. All of the drinks we ordered were very tasty (the French 75 and Boneshaker ESP especially) and my steak was absolutely the best steak I’ve had in years. The chef heard I didn’t like truffle, and came out to speak with me personally about how I’d like my demiglaze. I can’t recommend this place enough, me and my husband had a fantastic date night in a wonderful setting with great food for under $75. The chef and bartender did such a wonderful job!”
“Great meal- Friendly and Interactive Wait staff. Fresh salad, hand cut french fries, juicy and delicious burgers and a wonderful menu of available drinks! GF options ( including fresh hamburger buns) and the dog friendly patio were key! If you are near Santa Fe this is a MUST TRY! ( Oh and the prices were incredible)!!!”
“Have been here off and on since the 1980s … one of my all time favorites….”
“Hello Hawt Pizza:
I am writing to let you know about a great experience my husband and I had at the Low N' Slow Bar in Santa Fe, NM where we ordered Hawt Pizza. It was great because of the chef baking the pizza - Paul Kokalis! He made amazing pizzas. We ordered the El Norton and it was fantastic. It was so good we came back the next evening for more. This is saying a lot when you are in Santa Fe, lots of good restaurants there! But we chose to come back for Paul's pizza. He was personable, professional, and a great chef! Kudos to Paul. He deserves any promotions possible!
Sincerely - Dana from Albuquerque”
“The best sushi place for the price in New Mexico!
I still love it here even after their remodel changed the layout a bit and menu a little bit. Best AYCE sushi place in NM, and best place for your buck on Wednesdays especially. :)”
“Hooked my 82 yr old mom up with Brit for Reflexology & O2 while my sisters and I cruised downtown Santa Fe. Win-win! Mom’s feeling great & we got some extra steps in. Life is good ���”
“The first time to this wonderful restaurant with my husband! They had some awesome channels playing while we ate. My husband had a Bud Light. He enjoyed the fish and chips and I had the fish tacos! From the moment we walked in to the moment we left. The staff was very cheerful and kind to us! I find it so odd that someone would have so much time on their hands to write the longest review in the world! If you have an issue with anything here let them know they just opened! Trying to keep this short and sweet because no one has time to complain! Everything was wonderful!”
“Excellent food and comfortable atmosphere particularly if Chef Owner is in the house. 😋”
“I finally got to try this restaurant and was surprised it was in the store Body. My first choice was the Bastille but they had run out of one of it’s ingredients so I had the Quinoa bowl that I liked. I will probably go back to try one of the taglines and the Bastille. Atmosphere kind of strange being in a clothing store.”
“Lovely Easter Brunch Midtown Bistro. First time going in. Its an absolutely lovely space. The acoustics were perfect to be able to have conversations and not be overwhelmed. Brandon Martinez was our server and though busy was still attentive and kind. Careful to ask questions about the dishes we were ordering and giving recommendations. Expansive wine list and my mom did a spicy bloody Mary cocktail that she enjoyed. Patio looked lovely and they had live music. Food was delicious and fresh. My Mom says its the best calamari shes ever had and we grew up on the coast. So mucho compliments on that. I got the salmon and risotto which was delicious and filling. My Dad got the Huevos Rancheros and my mom did the Arugula salad. Plenty of parking. Two thumbs up from us. We are already planning another meal out. Want to try their lamb for dinner.”
“excellent experience. I highly recommend this restaurant. food and service is excellent!!!”
“Food is amazing, lots of choices miso is great! And sushi is one of the best! 5🌟”
“just enjoyed the lunch buffet here, it was excellent and a great value for the quality of food.”
“Everything is delicious and fresh! I love all of the special rolls! Sam is the best!”
“Amazing service and drinks + ambience here at the Staab house. My friends and I are always greeted with kind service, high-quality drinks (seriously, try their margs!) and I love the old school feel of the building + getting to sit next to the majestic fire places.”
“Very delicious little creperie in the Railyard District! My wife and I ordered one sweet (Nutecrepe with bananas) and one savory (Pepperoni crepe). Both were very good and I wish we could have had more! It was a little bit pricey, but overall was worth it.”
“The room I had has a nice fireplace and was very clean. The employees were very friendly and helpful. It's pet friendly. I would defiantly stay here again.”
“This is one of our favorite spots when we visit Santa Fe! The staff, the ambience and the entertainment makes this location a delight.
They always have a cozy fire lit and everything about the hotel bar is so beautiful 💖
It is a delightful bar retreat in Santa Fe that shouldn’t be missed! Adam the bartender curates your special cocktail and is 100% in service to make your experience unforgettable!”
“Crackin Crab has the BEST SEAFOOD in town!! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an amazing meal and service! You WILL leave here FULL AND HAPPY!!!!”
“First time there! Miso wa ABSOLUTELY amazing! loved my Teriyaki chicken! so many places I've gone the sauce was not flavorful at all, but theirs was tasty!”
“Amazing stall and to Top it off gear beer! A must stop when in Santa Fe!”
“Beautiful setting, but if you are going to charge THIRTY TWO DOLLARS for a chicken Caesar salad, literally a few pieces of Romaine and a small chicken breast, you should at least try to make sure that the chicken is fresh and grilled and juicy, not sad and dry and overcooked.”

“A great find. We wanted to try local cuisine and happened upon Magueyes on a side street. The menu is extensive; and the server recommendations did not disappoint. The tortilla chicken soup was amazing. The chile verde was excellent! Of course the house margarita was delicious. Really a great experience.”
“This is a mixed review. Jospeh is a formidable chef, but the restaurant itself is run down, chairs uncomfortable, noise level excessive and service sketchy. Some of our food (Duck confit pad thai and mixed mushrooms) was excellent, but the watermelon gazpacho was way too heavy on the garlic, and my husband couldn't eat it. Tuna tartare was mediocre and overpriced. Waitress couldn't stop asking how things were "TASTING", but didn't wait for an answer! Building should probably be condemned and the decor is falling apart.”
“Our first time at the Ranch House was less than an exceptional experience. Our waitress, Peggy Lee was the most professional, courteous and friendly person I have met at a resturante. She made us feel like we were old friends . The food was absolutely the best flavored I have experienced. The prime rib plate was to die for and I wouldnt have known it was being served except our waitress, Peggy recommended it. Very heads up resturante. I wish we had a Ranch House in Wichita Falls Tx.”
“I am a HUGE fan. Try the chile cheese fries. They're amazing. I prefer the green chile option. The fresh fruit smoothies are delicious and refreshing. The pricing, customer service, and atmosphere are excellent. Every time I'm in Santa Fe, I make a point to stop at Andale'.”

“Skip all the chain food places and go to the Tune-Up Cafe if you're visiting Santa Fe! The menu has something for everyone and is reasonably priced. The portions are large and made with fresh ingredient. Sandwiches feature homemde sourdough! It is a must stop! There is outdoor seating and a small bar. Staff is friendly.”
“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.”
“Flying by the seat of our pants as usual and not overly starving, we heard the live music from the street and decided to check out the Cowgirl BBQ. They had a young guy playing some instrumental guitar and singing. The vibe inside was jumping too and seating at the bar was limited so we opted to sit outside, enjoying the live music and making friends with a husky at the table next to us that was very friendly and well-behaved. We ended up getting an order of nachos and I went with a smothered brisket sandwich that came out with enough french fries to feed four people. Hearty helpings on that brisket sandwich and I washed it down with a nice cold beer. This was our last stop of the evening in Santa Fe before we jumped back on the rails to head south back to ABQ.”
“Actually enjoy going to Boxcar now that it has private party dining room, large dining area that's not ovee crowded, patio area, and an entertainment room. All are welcome and like that they are not woke as to leave out Conservative or make us feel awkward to "new society ". Actually enjoy karaoke now there that negitive people who don't want to be "so called bothered by us having fun and singing" are in another area completely. Everyone even if just watching some really good singers like Bricey, gets into it mood with dancing, singing along, cheering for the brave singers. Shanny Soul gives a great vibe Wednesday nights always being fair in rotation allowing those who haven't sang get a chance to plus only sings when its a small crowd, did overhear 2 ladies if that's what you call them complaining about not having a second tern in over an hour but there were just so many singers to have first turn and were being rude to KJ, staff and other patrons. Dorian cool but you can tell when he's drinking or drunk. He shouldn't bump people down list when there name is already showing in next 2. He tends to put people for second before others who haven't gotten chance. He also sings too much when long list. Crash is great but does do as Dorian with rotation and singing but is super friendly and does not drink. There's also a lady singer who seem to work with them or goes KJ for Shanny breaks. Seen her Sunday too, is super helpful with App and supper friendly adding to welcoming us environment. Food more expensive no but still great and expected for downtown. Loving wait staff and secutiy.. not recommended for young child”
“ll Vicino Wood Oven Pizza is a welcoming place to get a well prepared task meal. on a cold night the Wood Oven supports a nice warm environment. The order takers and the staff engage with you and are super interested in you enjoying your meal. What more can you ask for? rp 2026.01.10”
“Pastries are great, tarts are my go to especially the peach tart.
The breakfast menu is ok. I always get the Croque Madame.
The tuna in the tuna bruschetta was very unpleasant, steamed or boiled, makes it taste almost right out of a can. A smoked salmon would be a much better substitute.”
“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”

“Everyone in the Santa Fe area should visit and consider adopting a cat from this wonderful cat cafe. You get to sit and get to know all the cats. We were visiting from out of the state and just needed to hang out with some cats. We would have adopted from here if we lived in the area. They are all ready and waiting for a forever home!!”
“Mixing Manga and Coffee is brilliant. the cups are so unique! the coffee is beautiful and delicious! if you are driving through Santa fe and you love coffee you need to stop by! its next to Dillard's. I'm in town for 3 days. its my second day and I've already been here 3 times.”

We tried the lobster and it was absolutely delicious — beautifully presented, perfectly prepared, and full of flavor. You can really tell how much care and creativity went into the new dishes. Congratulations, Chef Rafa, on an amazing menu. We’ll definitely be back!””
“Visiting from Denver. The young lady was very nice and engaging. Along with understanding and helpful. We ordered the the Pollo Asado and it tasted great. She kept coming to our table bringing us different salsa's and chilies. That was cool. For those who don't know the chilie war between New Mexico and Colorado, it's a real thing. IMO Colorado! But we really love you NM‼💯❤”

They were very accommodating to our modifications on the chicken tacos and eggs. 5 stars across the board!”
