Santa Fe Restaurant Suggestions
 

I'm old school and like Tomasitas and Marias,

The as-of-this-writing Ms. Gogar loves Coyote Cafe and The Shed and Pasquales.


Anyone have any ideas for Friday PM that would be new for both of us but different? We are downtown near St. Francis.

Cheers

We will be driving the XKR fast and straight due to our recent Panamera grenade, which is a thread yet to be written.

Go to Geronimo Restaurant

Perfect place for a man of your wealth and taste :)

All you listed are great, although I'm not a big fan of Pasquales. The chili alone at The Shed will set your hair on fire!

Eat breakfast or lunch at Tia Sophia's not far off the Plaza near Lensic Theater.

If you like Tapas la boca

Not far off the Plaza on Marcy st.

I also enjoy breakfast at La Posada...nice patio, nice property.

Thank you!

I'm quite familiar with the 2 blocks around the Lensic and I love Tia Sophias and all the 'burro alley' stuff.

Geronimo looks great but I think i need a regional bent.

Maybe La Boca! thanks again

Geronimo, Coyote Cafe, and the Compound are our faves for great meals, although I am perfectly happy with the Shed.

After everything near the square is closed and you find that you still need to dance, have "just one more", a double Scotch, or a double cheeseburger with hatch chiles at midnight The Palace is your place. Or so I've heard.........

I get it... Looking for New Mexican food..

Gabriel's north of town is also great. You will need to fire up the Jag hot rod to run out there...not far. Otherwise I would stick with the tried and true Tomasita's

Either way you're welcome and enjoy!

My wife and I were in Santa Fe for a long weekend in March. We has no set plan and decided to just wander around.

Chef Estevan Garcia was catching some fresh air outside his Estevan on Washington Ave near the Plaza, and he talked us into dining at his place. Chef Estevan is classically trained -- he obtains an unexpected real depth of flavor from traditional chile dishes with the addition of slow-cooking and layering various reductions of meats and chile. Estevan drives up to get his chiles from old-school farmers up in Chimayo. We really enjoyed his place -- upstairs is a nice cozy dining room.

Another evening we went to Radish and Rye on Agua Fria Street by the Railyard. They specialize in fine American whiskies and big-flavored farm-to-table food that pairs with them. They have about 50 Kentucky whiskies available, as well as Tennessee and other regions. They select single-barrels of Buffalo Trace for their barrel-aged cocktails. Very urban hipster, but in a good way.

The other place we went was La Choza. Related to the Shed, but more a locals bar and hang-out. Excellent food and drink was worth the wait on a crowded weekend. Should have worn my cowboy boots.

If you are after regional food, I highly recommend La Choza. Their food is interesting and unique. You will need reservations.
