Excellent food. Very authentic, good atmosphere and great service. All the ingredients for a wonderful dinner. We travel throughout the country & will return to place every time we are in Santa Fe. They were also gracious to allow us to have our behaved dog to sit out in the patio with us due to the extreme heat. A great restaurant!

Fantastic local business with authentic food. While the plate seemed messy, the quality was fantastic and came out fast. The service was good, and I appreciate that the staff still wear their masks.

INCREDIBLE food! The staff were incredibly attentive, even beyond the waiter who was serving me. They were also more patient with and nice to a man seated near me than he deserved. Awesome restaurant and employees.

We came here because it's my parents favorite in town. And you really can NOT go wrong. I had the Mexican steak with green chile, so delicious. We also had these other dishes, tamales and fajitas. And of course you can't forget the delicious sopapillas. The staff are all so kind and helpful. We left full and happy. And we will be back.

I love this place the food is so good. The staff is friendly.

The food was very authentic New Mexican and typical for New Mexican food choices ie. Enchiladas, tamales, flauta’s, etc Service was perfect. Food was very good and price was great.

This place has the best service. We came from out of town and I'm telling you I've never been somewhere where they are more attentive. The staff works as a collective, everyone helps every table and in turn you are very well taken care of. The food was delicious as well, and big portions.

We're in town from El Paso for a special family get together, and were staying in a nearby hotel. This restaurant popped up on Google and was the only place open later than most. I'm so happy we found it! The food was delicious, the restaurant was immaculate, but the best part of our visit was the staff! I cannot express how nice everyone was, especially our server, and I didn't get his name, but I know he mentioned he was the owner. Thank you all for the great experience!

We ate here a few times recently during our stay in Santa Fe. Unpretentious, authentic New Mexican food. Super nice and attentive staff. I had the flight of tacos one night and they were tasty and delicious. The beans on the side were very flavorful. Highly recommend if you want great food.

Quick summary: quality Mexican food of the usual suspect, well-priced. Friendly, helpful service. Family friendly. We were visiting Santa Fe for a few days, and stopped here for dinner, not far from our hotel. The menu has the range of usual suspects - tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, etc, We had the carne asada plate ($12.99) and the Wednesday special of blue corn enchiladas ($8.99.) Both came with rice and beans, and chips/salsa on the table. All was fresh and tasty. Also: a good pour of a glass of wine ($6) and a draft beer ($3.50.) Friendly, professional, helpful service. Casual dining room that was welcoming and family friendly. Frankly, we were staying outside of downtown, and it was nice not to have to deal with parking issues in the town center. We'd be happy to return here if we lived in the area.
