a week agoWe had a great lunch here on Saturday and Ashley was such a great bartender/waitress. The food here is outstanding, I had mushroom soup (served with a warm wedge of bread) and fish tacos and both were outstanding. I also had a great NA beer I hadn’t had before and I highly recommend, it’s called Bero. They served the west coast IPA and it was excellent. I ran out to sprouts and bought the east coast variety to try. The ambience here is terrific, vibrant enough to feel festive but quiet enough for conversation. The bathrooms qualify as some of the coolest I’ve ever been in with custom brass doors in the stalls. This is our second time here and we’ll return.

a week agoLa Choza is our go to restaurant in Santa Fe Serving up great a margherita and equally great food. Anything with red and green chili is good, the portions are generous and the service is friendly and quick. Consistently good and with a new addition giving more space the wait should be shorter. Highly recommended! This a new a revised review as of 12/3/2025. I have been living in Santa Fe for over 25 years and have been dinning at La Choza for most of that time. It used to be a small establishment and the sister restaurant of The Shed which is on the plaza. The Shed was always packed with tourists and La Choza is where the locals went. Since then La Choza has grown their building and added a lot of new seating. It's a much larger Restaurant and much busier with waiting time consistently at around 30 minutes. Although the servers are still very friendly, I have to feel that the vibe in the restaurant has changed dramatically. It is no longer a fun place to go. It's changed so much from it's beginnings that I feel as though it's difficult for me to continue to highly recommend it.
