Had an opportunity to enjoy dinner there on a Sunday night. We didn't have a reservation, but hostess was able to seat us in withing 20 minutes. Beautiful atmosphere, just what you'd expect from a high end establishment in old town Santa Fe. Be sure and take time to take in the artwork displayed around the restaurant. Ordered a simple plate of street tacos - pork. Great presentation and well prepared. Everyone has a different opinion about food, but I really enjoyed my meal. One of the highlights was the table side prepared guacamole. The server was knowledgeable in it's preparation and many options available to customize the taste experience. Good food in a great environment.

This is high priced Mexican restaurant that caters to tourists who are willing to spend. They have decent Mexican food but by no means great. They do feature beautiful art works, nice furniture, etc. from many people/artists who lived in Santa Fe BUT WERE NEVER actually natives. Rather they came from back east or Europe to visit then stayed. You look around and mostly the only Hispanics you see are the hired help. Certainly, few of the native-born locals frequent this restaurant. There are way too many good Mexican restaurants that are far superior but will charge you a lot less.

This restaurant is presents a very nice atmosphere, and is very conveniently located, on the plaza in Santa Fe. We happened to eat there during restaurant week (didn't know that until the option was presented on the menu, but, OK, sounds good...). My wife chose the pork belly appetizer, which was delicious. The corn chowder appetizer was also wonderful. The entrees chosen were the salmon, and the lamb shoulder. The salmon, which my wife ordered, was fine, albeit unremarkable. My lamb shoulder was very disappointing. Obviously, something like this (think: pork butt) needs to be cooked low and slow, to render the fat, and make the meat tender. Based on the amount of fat in the meat served, and the toughness of the meat, the chef didn't follow through on this guidance. While the flavor was fine, a LOT of chewing was required, and a LOT of fat was left on the plate. The dessert recommended by our server was the flan, as she thought the bread pudding dry. The flan was OK, but not great. We live in Houston, Texas, and eat (and make) a fair amount of flan. We like it. We didn't like this much. This is a nice restaurant, as far as ambiance, but I would be careful as to what I order. Clearly, some dishes are much better than others. I wish I could give more guidance as to which is which.

Reservations recommended as this place is busy. A little pricier than other options, but the food really is amazing. Can be relatively inexpensive, or expensive fine dining depending on what you order. There’s a good selection of food, wine, and spirits. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is perfect.

To start with, the service is excellent, the space is quiet due to the high open ceiling, and it is comfortable an beautiful. I had the vegetarian tacos which were carefully seasoned and absolutely delicious. I have not ever had tacos that I enjoyed as much, and that says a lot for vegetarian food. My partner had the fajitas with shrimp and skirt steak. Absolutley amazing, down to the spicky black beans. The chef takes care with details at this restaurant!
