    Main dining room

    Nothing I like less than waitstaff who doesn't know the menu well. I am extremely accustomed to East Coast hospitality , it's different here but the service was efficient just not particularly chatty or informative about the menu. Central location in downtown Santa Fe with very reasonable prices. I ordered the green chile pesto chicken sandwich, nothing particularly different about it .. the chicken was a little dry. Nice ambiance though and great location.

    We wanted a green chili cheeseburger and were sent here by another bartender. The drinks are huge and strong. I liked the prickly pear one. We both had a green chili cheeseburger burger. The meat was fabulous. Perfectly cooked, Smokey, juicy, fatty. Everything I want in a burger. The green chilis could have been hotter for my taste but they were flavorful and there were lots. I'd definitely go back for the value and flavor. Worth hitting up for a cocktail. Great location. Clearly a locals favorite.

    Went in for lunch on a Saturday, it wasn't too crowded and there was no wait to sit. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. I ordered the stuffed Sopaipillas, which were very tasty, my husband ordered the carne asada tacos which also were very good. Warm friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend

    Stuffed Green Chile Cheeseburger

    One of the few places I found open at 8-9PM. I got the stuffed green chile cheeseburger. The burger itself was very good, but that green chile relish was amazing! I was also raving about the fries. There's a certain type of fry I like, and that was it. If I could get a plate of fries with 2 ramekins of that green chile relish to use as dip, I 100% would.

    Del Charro is the restaurant connected to Inn of the Govenors, the hotel we stayed at while vacationing in Santa Fe. I wanted to love it, but really I loved the atmosphere, liked the margaritas, and didn't much care for the food. I went to Del Charro for drinks twice, dinner and drinks once, and breakfast three times, as they serve the free breakfast to hotel guests in the dining room each morning. We went to Del Charro for margaritas as soon as we arrived in Santa Fe, as we waited for our hotel room to be ready. My friend ordered the house margarita and I had the prickly pear. Both were good, and not too sweet. The house margarita is large in size, and has a good balance of mixers and tequila. I loved the atmosphere. All of the locals seemed to be drinking there at that time, and we were able to chat with some different people. Breakfasts were made to order for hotel guests, and we were given a choice of about 6 different options. I enjoyed it the day I chose the omelette, but the other days I found it to be greasy. When we had dinner there, I used my Yelp check-in order for free chips, salsa and guac. That caused some trouble as they had no idea what I was talking about. Also, strangely enough, in Santa Fe, restaurants seem to charge for chips and salsa. In the end, we were able to get free chips and salsa, but no guac. I also thought that the chips were broken up and messy on the plate. I'm glad we did not pay for them. My friend and I both ordered the enchiladas, which were served with rice and beans. We ordered the sauce Christmas-style (red and green). What we received were plates of food full of sauce that hid what we were eating. We couldn't really differentiate the enchiladas from the sides. It was sort of messy and the flavors all ran together. I also had one margarita there just as I was waiting for my ride to the airport. Again, the drink was good. They played old school country, which felt very fitting for the atmosphere. It felt relaxed and peaceful in the bar. All in all, I would recommend Del Charro for drinks. The bar is a nice place to sit and chat. I would describe the food as passable.

    Cool Old West tavern two blocks from the Plaza. They serve New Mexican food and cheeseburgers. We started off with chips and salsa which was very good. I then had the Cowboy Bison Burger that comes with charred onions. It was very good. The service was very good too. This place did not disappoint!

Located in a quieter part in the edge of downtown, parking is usually pretty easy to find on-Street, and it's a few steps over to shops. The outdoor patio is secluded and quiet, and the indoors offers plenty of seating in a historic setting that's bright and fresh. On the food side, Palacio cooks their red Chile for over 8 hours, making it in my opinion one of the best and most flavorful in Santa Fe. Most other places I get Christmas style, but here, the red Chile is just perfect. On this trip, we had a smothered breakfast burrito and enchiladas suizas. Both were perfectly cooked, served hot, and resulted in another visit of what we expected from Palacio - great food and friendly service in what had quickly become our favorite Santa Fe restaurant.

However, I was pleasantly surprised. I was greeted super warmly and was educated on their menu as the host led me to my table (this place is sprawling and has inside and outside tables). My server greeted me immediately and was so helpful in her recommendations. She was truly interested in giving me the best experience as opposed to running the bill up for a bigger tip. Fresh out of the museum of New Mexico, I had learned adovada is a native dish, so I went with the carne adovada plate. Made with slow roasted lean pork, marinated in red Chile, garlic, and oregano. Served with cheese blue corn, red Chile, and onion. With a. side of pinto beans. It was spicy. Not HOT, but not "white people" spicy. It was warm and filling. Delicious. As far as margaritas, all I had were great. I had one of their premium 24 dollar margs, but it wasn't any better than the 12 dollar one recommended by the server. They also offer huevos rancheros, various enchiladas, tamales, burritos, tacos. For those wishing to go a little more americanized (but then why would you come here), they have a buffalo burger, grilled chicken sandwich, and regular burgers. Don't let the crowd deter you.

After a brief…read moreconversation with the manager, we were led to the bar area where a few open tables were available. It sounded like dinner service would have meant waiting for a table, so this worked out perfectly. The bar area struck a nice balance between lively and intimate. The tables had cute lanterns filled with coffee beans, and the abundance of plants throughout gave the space a cozy, nighttime greenhouse vibe. As instructed, we ordered at the bar and everything was brought to our table. Unable to decide between two desserts, we ordered both: the Hot Fudge Sundae and the Cheesecake. To pair with dessert, we went with the Spiked Coffee and a glass of Santa Fe Spirits Apple Brandy. We'll go from bad to good: neither of us cared for the cheesecake. The sour cream vanilla topping overpowered both the cheesecake itself and the graham cracker crust. My wife, however, really enjoyed the spiked coffee, and I thoroughly enjoyed the apple brandy. It was incredibly smooth, almost like drinking apple pie. The surprise winner of the night was the hot fudge sundae, and what made it exceptional was the fudge sauce. It had this rich balance of dark, slightly bitter chocolate with just enough sweetness to keep it smooth and indulgent. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely come back to try an actual meal sometime.

Unfortunately I was highly disappointed by food and service. I ordered fish and shrimp taco. The food wasn't bad but it's didn't come with a side of salsa or any sort of sauce.

I was surprised to find them close even though online says that they are open at 11am that day. I checked on google and it was suppose to be open. I called and they said that they are open but waiting for alcohol to be delivered at 3pm. Did they assume that every customer coming in is ordering alcohol? As far as I understand this is a restaurant that serves food and alcohol and not a bar. Shortly after my arrival, there was a large tour with 12 people showed up. I could see that the waiter was a bit flustered because he also had to tend to other customer as well as the tour. I guess this is where the tour take people for authentic taco experience. In my opinion these are more toned down gringo tacos. My taco didn't come with a side of sauce like everyone else. I also noticed that the tour all received a side of salsa which I didn't. I'm not sure if the waiter forgot. I had to flag down the waiter a few time because he also forgot my drink. I also ordered an agua Fresca watermelon and it wasn't made of real watermelon but flavor syrup from the bar. I wished I had known that it wasn't real melon. 2.5 stars for the food and 2 for service. Again food wasn't terrible, but certainly wasn't close to be the best.
