Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in New Mexico

Foie Gras, Elk were excellent, sea bass O.K. Ambience outstanding as was the service.

Wow wow! We were there for Valentine and can’t say we were trilled. Just wasn’t up to their normal standards and left shocked. But now, wow went there for my birthday and it was amazing. From the moment we were secretly brought in n greeted by the muscle of the place. lol He was fun, entertaining n really wanted to know about us. Our server was outstanding. He was extremely knowledgeable of the wines n high end whiskey. We ordered and were skeptical but quickly we were amazed. The food excellent and beautifully presented. Our server was attentive and provided great conversation. Thank you for a wonderful experience n birthday!

La Boca has been on our list for awhile. It didnt disappoint. There are actually 2 venues at the same location. The entrance on Marcy is a typical Tapas place. Around the "alley" is a dining venue with live music! We opted for the music. Much fun and of course noisy. Tables are set up for 2 diners very close together like NY or Chicago. No white table cloths here. A small bar and a small stage for the guitarist and drummer. Very "village". Loved it. We shared mussels in a delicious coconut sauce with crusted baguette from Sage. Sandy had a Sangria and I had a seasonal dark beer. Then we shared a paella for one. Very filling. Next time we will try other Tapas dishes!

Best sushi ever. The new sushi chef is outstanding.

The food was top notch and the service was impeccable. The atmosphere adds to your Santa Fe experience. Definitely worth it!
