Megan DeniseOctober 21, 2013They are very proud of their veg adaptable menu. Get your acting chops on & ask your waiter if you can get the charbroiled steak veg style. Their expression is worth the 1.5 hour wait! Then tip big ;)Upvote10Downvote
Dave GlaserOctober 18, 2019Really enjoyed the blue corn enchiladas. Make sure to order it Christmas style to get both red and green sauce. Nice touch with garlic bread instead of tortillas or sopapillas as a side. Go early!Upvote5Downvote
Steve GusMay 21, 2015Outstanding food and drinks. We had the Don margaritas, and the burritos smothered in green chili sauce- which was hot! All was excellent- best Mexican food I've ever had.

Scott McKinneyMay 18, 2018Excellent service, good food, busy @ 1:30 but only 15 min wait time. Great patio and not pretentious at all. If you are a fan of spice, try this place!Upvote1Downvote
Scott RoseAugust 18, 2017Fairly standard NM cuisine, but very well prepared and delivered with pro service. Nice bar program with a focus on margaritas. I was delighted by a mescal-based version. Waits can be long.UpvoteDownvote
Sean PongosApril 2, 2021Enchilada is definitely excellent. Al dente corn tortilla cooked just right and red sauce was beautifully spicy. One of the best enchilada I’ve ever had.UpvoteDownvote
JK GrenceJuly 4, 2019The #5 Enchilada Plate is all you need to know. Possibly the best enchilada of your life.

Anna GraizbordSeptember 20, 2018The tamales are amazing. All the plates come with garlic bread — you will need this to counterbalance the heat. It seems weird but it’s really good.UpvoteDownvote
You better get the Sangre de Cristo margarita if you know what’s good for you.

ChicSeptember 8, 2020Red sauce is smoky & hot, but the green will melt your face. It is like having the surface of the Sun inside your body.UpvoteDownvote
Ron PringleAugust 8, 2015Split the Carne Adovada for lunch and get the enchilada with green chili so you can try both. Both are outstanding!UpvoteDownvote
Richard RevillaSeptember 25, 2012Another must in Santa Fe. You may have to wait a bit so check out the funky artwork. Even the sign is psychedelic.
