I came here to drink some margaritas, not to eat. We sat at the bar, ordered and enjoyed our drinks. The crowd was slim, there was a party at a table, a couple sitting next to us staying at the hotel, two men at the other end of the bar. The margaritas were good, I ordered a more crafty one while my GF ordered a house one. The basic one was better than mine and that kinda ticked me off. How can this be? Anyway, the ambiance was OK, we asked for to-go cups but that was not allowed. OK. Bye. read more

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. read more

The food was so good! We tried to go to another restaurant who hadn't updated their hours and turned us away at the door. We ended up here, and I'm so glad we did! The food was DELICIOUS (I recommend the Bison Burger) and our server, Alejandro, was so kind. He brought us out an appetizer of chips and salsa for free, and I think it was the best chips and salsa we had on this vacation. Thank you so much Del Charro! read more

Del Charro has been a standout for ages. During covid. I ordered a lot of food and they make my favorite salad. That's easy to order. My husband and I were there just last weekend and had a delicious burger and nachos. It's easy. Casual food and family friendly, sports friendly, and the service is wonderful. Back in a couple of weeks. read more

Hmmm...I'm very sad to report this place has gone downhill. Per tradition, we came for margaritas on our first stop in town, and they were pretty awful. My house margarita tasted like straight up sweet and sour and my mom's Cadillac margarita was also pretty sub par. As we were sitting at the bar, a very loud and rude man was having a conversation on speaker phone about women being parasites and succubi. I understand not liking confrontation, but this guy had this conversation for well over 20 minutes on speaker phone the entire time and the bartender and employees didn't say a thing to him. I was about 30 seconds from asking him to take it outside when he finally ended the call. Our menus were sticky, atmosphere was ruined by him, and the drinks were not nearly as good as they used to be. read more

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. read more

One of my favorites. My wife and I met a couple here the other day. I really like this place. Unfortunately, the main saloon was closed down - looks like renovation. The place has been around forever. This is an old-time place. I love the saloon - very old fashion. I hope they don't get rid of the feel. You will often see a cowboy (Fetus Parker type) or two. We had an early dinner and a marg. (I like the marg!) We arrived around 5.00. Place was very crowded. We all ordered some form of the burger. All came out great. Service is a little slow - you may be waiting. Prices are good here. While it is a big place, it is not too loud. Can't talk about parking since we took the train. read more

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. read more

This may be one, if not the best, green chili cheeseburgers in Santa Fe. At Del Charo you can get good food, at an affordable price in a relaxed environment. It is popular and can be busy since it is located so near the Plaza. The house Margarita is large and comes with a shaker which means you get two drinks for the price of one. For Breakfast, the Huevos Rancheros and the standard breakfast are hard to beat. Service is always good, fast and friendly. read more

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! read more

The epitome of mediocrity. Everything my companion and I ate was made without love and resembled the worst of frozen/bulk Sysco supplies. None of the food was made with any attention to detail,let alone love. The restaurant gave off every red flag: filthy floors, a server who didn't welcome us,and being asked if we were ready to order the moment our server came over. The black bean burger was cooked to death and surely came out of a cardboard box. I've had better potato salad from grocery stores, and the chicken green chile chowder tasted like a heavy cream corn chowder that sat under a heat lamp for too long (but was still somehow lukewarm). The servers are working hard -- the restaurant is large and there aren't enough of them. But the food itself is below mid and with SO many other places to eat in Santa Fe, people would be better served going literally anywhere else. Avoid. read more

Amazing food, great atmosphere, and late hours. A group of us are in town and needed dinner late, so found Del Charro. Half the group is underage, so we were welcomed to the Governor's Room in back (separate from the bar area in front). We had chips & salsa and quesadillas as appetizers, and they were both flavorful and delicious. The waitstaff was friendly and knowledgeable, and he kept our waters full. Then the food arrived, some burgers and some enchiladas, and they were AMAZING. Seriously, the quality of this food drove me to leave a review even though it's late and I'm tired. Definitely coming back if I'm ever in town again. read more

Called in an order, Walked 5 minutes. Sat at the bar told the bar tender I had a pick up order and got a beer. After 20min nothing went up and asked I think the manager and turns out they never even made the food to begin with. read more

Located inside Inn of the Governors, this saloon-themed restaurant offers a spot for both locals, tourists, and those just passing through town (like me!). We were at an event at Meow Wolf, and since it was late, we found out on Yelp that Del Charro's kitchen is open late (they're open until midnight, though I'm not sure exactly when the kitchen closes). We sat in the dining room (complete with a fireplace), but there's also bar seating in the saloon area. Food ranges from caesar salad and nachos to chicken enchies and burgers. My colleague went for the stuffed green chile cheeseburger (it was huge!) and I ordered the chicken nachos (also yuuge). Service was verrry slow, and no one really checked in during our meal... I had to close out my tab with another server on our way out. :/ read more

We ate dinner at the bar at Del Charro twice while staying at The Inn of the Governors this past May. The first night was after driving down from the Denver area on a Saturday. We knew we were going to arrive at the hotel late afternoon and needed to unpack, so had previously planned not to make a dinner reservation somewhere and go out (plus it was one of the NBA West Coast Playoffs nights and we wanted to watch it on a TV in the bar). Anyway, that Saturday, we went down 7-ish and found most of the seats at the bar occupied so we started at a table. Soon after we sat down, a couple of seats that were together became available, so we moved to the bar. We ordered margs (Patron Silver, fresh lime juice and Cointreau) and queso with chips while we perused the menu to decide on dinner. I decided on the Green Chile Cheese Burger with fries, and The Hubs had the Blue Corn Chicken Enchiladas dinner. Everything was really good! The chiles on the burger were the milder ones but had tons of flavor (I was glad they were mild, actually). It was an excellent burger that came with the full burger setup - onions, tomato, lettuce (don't think pickles were there, but not necessary anyway). I didn't taste The Hubs' dinner, but he said it was good. We had a great time , despite Steph getting injured in GAME1!! Our server/ bartender this night was attentive despite being extremely busy. The second night we ate here was a couple days later on the second night of the NBA series. We went down 7-ish and found seats at the bar immediately (of note here- we came to SF off-season for a reason). We ordered margs and guac/chips (the queso was way too much/filling for the two of us the other night (despite it being very tasty) to start while we thought about dinner and watched a sad (Warriers-minus-Steph) basketball game. HOWEVER - the highlight! Our server/bartender that night (Chris? geez, I hope that's right) was great!. He chatted and when we were thinking about a dinner entree, suggested the Seared Ahi Tuna Sandwich (don't see it on their current online menu). I had been considering it, but the total package didn't grab me. It came on thinly sliced rye bread with pickled ginger (which actually turned out to be really good), but whatever the side was didn't work for me. We worked with 'Chris' (again, I hope that's his name) and got it with a salad of mixed greens and tomato. It was so good! The tuna was seared to med-rare (we both ordered this, btw) and it was excellent! It was a very surprising find! Unfortunately, I don't see it on the menu today, but maybe their menu varies based on on-off tourist season and or just the season (they had daily dinner specials when we came down; now I just see weekend specials). Anyway, overall, I would recommend Del Charro. Our experience was great!. We found the service, food, and atmosphere to be very inviting In the bar. And friendly. Since the bar area is only part of Del Charro we had dinner in, I can't say about the non-bar restaurant area. read more

Cute bar and restaurant which is part of a hotel right in the middle of the Santa Fe plaza. Nice large selection of margaritas, bar food as well as the capability to order from the dining room menu I think. We both had a regular margarita which was very tasty and obviously home made sweet and sour mix. We also had guacamole and chips which were a nice size portion and tasty. The salsa had heat without burning your tongue. read more

Del Charro is a nice little restaurant just off the beaten path in Santa Fe. Hidden behind the Roundhouse, it's a fun place to spot legislators having a bite and discussing business. The place has a neat wooden bar in the front. The bartenders are efficient and do a nice job of getting drinks out to their guests. The back of the restaurant is the restaurant. It is very open, clean, and pretty. The servers are a little bit and miss. They are usually pretty nice and efficient. There are times they seem to disappear, but overall my experiences have been positive. The food is good, if not spectacular. Good burgers, good tacos, etc. However, the chicken nachos were excellent! I mean, they were really great! The chicken was moist and delicious. Great chips, made to handle all the topping placed on the dish! Overall, a good place to grab lunch and enjoy a late afternoon drink. read more

I ate here while on a business trip. Ordered the green chili cheeseburger with a side salad. Absolutely delish. I also ordered a silver coin marg. Also very tasty. simple but good meal.

Our party of six found ourselves in Santa Fe, NM on Thanksgiving Day as part of a weeklong trip thru Southern NM. After a lunch at the UFO McDonalds in Roswell, we wanted a traditional Turkey meal for dinner. We found it at Del Charro and it was delicious. The meal started with a Fall Salad with pecans, butternut squash, and more. Then the roasted turkey with green chile stuffing, Yukon mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce. Dessert choice was apple pie or pumpkin bread pudding. We tried it all. Although this isn't their standard fare, they knocked it out! I can only imagine how good their daily dishes must be. They were quite busy but seated us within minutes in a large room with a roaring fireplace. Oh! They had cocktails, too. Margaritas, Mules, Martinis. All good. Our server was friendly, attentive, accommodating, and showed no signs of being weary from the long holiday shift. We considered lunch here on Black Friday but wanted to try another Santa Fe place. Eat here. read more

I am giving it five stars, even though the service was lacking at the bar (which is rare for any bar)--- maybe they give more attention to the regulars (it's a locals spot) or maybe they were just too busy (it's a popular spot), or maybe the crew is so busy being social (it's nice they are a happy family, but it was hard to get eye contact). The ambiance in the bar area is perfect: comfortable and dark, the only light coming from the televisions. They divided the rest of the restaurant into small, bright rooms, which is less to my liking. But the bar is great; in fact, the Reporter readers voted Del Charro in Top 3 Bars for generosity, coziness, affordability, and friendliness for 2023. My wife enjoyed her Frito Pie, and I loved my hamburger because of the thick slice of red onion and "borderline-undiagnosed" unusual judging criteria: the ratio of size to manageability. In other words, the fresh meaty burger is as big as you can get without being hard to handle or fragile. The $5 ice cream "sundae" is a cheap way to end the meal, but it's really just a scoop of vanilla with a tiny amount of chocolate syrup. They should put syrup on the bottom. Northern Ireland, 1972 has seen better sundaes. read more

We got to town late after seeing some cool sights on Rt. 66 headed home to Kentucky from a work trip my wife joined me on. Our concierge at the hotel recommended this place and he hit a home run. Security as we walked in was very friendly, our waitress was helpful and nice, and the manager, Arthur, came over and talked to us about all the food. He was surprisingly honest about what they weren't excelling at yet, but righteously confident in what they were hitting dingers on. He was spot on. I probably wouldn't have trusted him if he wasn't so honest. House Margarita was actually better than the specialty ones except for the prickly pear, which I thought was awesome. It wasn't better because the rest are good, it was better because they were all great, but I like it simple. Appetizers of Green Chile Chowder was an amazing blend of Chicken, Maybe White Beans (?), Chiles, and Potatoes that would cure anybody of the flu. Entrées were perfectly cooked flat breaded fish (cod?) and chips with a wonderful malt vinegar and a green chili tartar along with the New Mexico burger that tasted like your dad cooked it over charcoal on his Weber aluminum grill, but your dad was a Chef. Fries were great. Coleslaw had a heavy carrot taste that I really enjoyed. It was heavy, but crisp. Awesome place! Price was very reasonable too! read more

We sat in the bar, wanting to watch the college football playoff games. We got a bad table as it was crowded and only a 2 top with one chair facing the tv was available, thus only one of us could see the TV. Drinks were good. Burgers were good. Service was slow and ambivalent. Good bar vibe. We asked to move to a 4 top when the party of 4 was leaving but were told we would not like it as it had a cold breeze when the door opened. Odd since the folks sitting there in t-shirts didn't seem to be bothered by it. My guess is he didn't want 2 people sitting at a 4 top. I kind of understand that, but nobody ever sat there for the remainder of the time we were there. We have been here before, and we will return. It was just an off night for us. read more

This restaurant is connected to the Inn of the Governors hotel which is very convenient for guests. It was a busy Saturday night and the restaurant was filled with guests. Service was ok. We had a server that seemed like he didn't want to be there or help us. He ultimately did and it was fine but the whole thing just felt off. It kind of felt like we were imposing on him for being there. The food was meh. The guacamole was really flavorful but everything else was just ok. My husband didn't like his pork tacos at all so skip those on the menu. There is a cute fireplace in one of the dining rooms which made the vibe quaint and made the room warm. read more
