“ The food had a gourmet twist to it. The service was on point and the prices very affordable. Will definitely go back when in Santa Fe. ”
“ For a small town restaurant, it is excellent if a bit pricey. Compared to restaurants in a big city, on the other hand, it is a good value, but the food misses in a few places in my opinion. In particular, some dishes, emphasize aesthetics and neglect flavor. Like the chile relleno - a beautiful dish, but the pepper itself was definitely undercooked. And the cochinita pibil came with a "tamal de holla" consisting of polenta in a chili sauce, but the ratio was weird - like a tiny teaspoon of polenta swimming in sauce. The different pieces of the "vegetariano" starter didn't really marry for me, it was too saucy yet not very flavorful, and the eggplant was undercooked (the skin of the eggplant was a little tape-y and would have benefited from more cooking or charring or something I think). The meats were cooked really well, the portions were generous, the ingredients seemed good quality, and the sauces were tasty and really New Mexico-y. Overall, we had a wonderful time and service was great. ”
“ We were there for a celebration dinner and found that our phones in reservation was recorded for the wrong day. The hostess was gracious and found us a table on the patio (enclosed in the winter). Service was great, Gracie was thoughtful, attentive and made great recommendations. Can't speak highly enough of the lamb shank, pork shank, and duck entrees -- each with a different mole. Starters of pear salad and carnitas were excellent as well. Portions were large (we took some home) and we didn't have room for dessert. It was a great evening and we will definitely be back! ”
“ Went for brunch. 5 years old had French toast, spouse and I tried the mole negro in two variations: enchiladas and chilaquiles. The mole negro has a hint of a slow building burn, very good. We also got the burrata salad - very interesting as an appetizer. At end of the meal we decided to splurge on churros. Service very polite and helpful. Also thoughtful as they brought extra napkins for 5 year old. Ambia Street side parking in a very popular area of Santa Fe. Plan on arriving 10-15 min early to find a spot. ”
“ Amazing southwest food selection in Santa Fe. The restaurant is in a historic building with wonderful decor! Definitely a great place to stop at for breakfast. The buttermilk pancakes are absolutely amazing!! The service was good, and the food came out in a timely manner. ”
“ I want to eat here for every meal! Not only are people who work here are wonderful and welcoming but the food is phenomenal! I came at lunch time wanting to try the well reviewed chile relleno but that's on the dinner menu. So I chose to try sopecitos per the waitress' recommendation. I was really impressed. There are 3 of them on the plate and each one with a different topping. The corn base was really good and thick, actually was too much for me because I had to eat all 3 on my own, with no one to share:( One had chicken, one had pork and third was vegetarian. All 3 were delicious. The radish on top was a great addition. The sauce (thankfully served on the side) was super spicy for my white girl tastebuds. But I tried it and it's full of flavor. Nom nom! I came back for dinner to try the chile relleno. It was worth it!!! I was savoring every bite. And even though it was just veggies and cheese inside, everything tasted really good together. The mole was pure heaven. I don't think I've ever had mole but I feel like I'll be comparing every mole from now on to this one. The whole dish tasted so well balanced with amazing roasted flavor. Im already planning to come here for at least one meal tomorrow which is my last day here. I would come here every day if I was local. ”
“ Quaint restaurant in heart of Santa Fe. Recently nominated for the prestigious James Beard Award. Attractive indoor and outdoor seating allows you to enjoy in multiple ways. Service was very attentive and helpful with explaining the menu. For an appetizer had the passion fruit gazpacho which was divine. For dinner had the pork shank barbacoa. The mole coloradito was absolutely delicious making the pork just melt in your mouth. For dessert, you must try the Flan de Elote. I love flan in general but this truly was the perfect dessert to end meal. ”
“ What a home run! This delightful place is tucked in a quiet neighborhood with modern design and chef inspired menu that offers regional flavors, a great wine list and tasty appetizers. Judith was our server and she is excellent. Friendly and made us feel right at home. We started with onion rings, moved on to lobster bisque and French onion soup, then finished with Cobb salads (we were trying to eat light.) Well then we saw the dessert menu.... and shared an outstanding Key Lime Pie. Absolutely wonderful! This is definitely a repeater for us on our next visit to Santa Fe. ”
