WOW. Wine here is AWESOMENESS!…read more Yelp friends ... Armando Rosales is the friendliest bartender I've met in a long while He's from Espanola so he's super down to Earth ! (Future manager I think) He let me sample some great wines 1) Signature Canyon Five ~ fruity. Unique 2) Heritage Cabernet Sauvignon ~ AMAZING ! I ordered number 2 to pair with my (incredible) FRENCH ONION SOUP If you have that on your menu I have to try it but this was truly exceptional ! Following that I had the New York Strip. Medium rare. GREAT but I did ask for a side of Green Chile. And Garlic Aioli for the potatoes Nicely cooked but I added some salt and chile to make it pop my taste buds. YES. I would order it again the same way The Pork Chop looked great as well Desert was also very good. Truffles and Port wine ...I love Port wine (Spicy chocolate truffles with lovely RED CHILE in them) I think I'd give these guys 6 stars of if I could because Armando was so cool toward me !

Hervé is a lovely space and we had a perfectly pleasant evening, but the food was simply okay…read more Nothing was bad, but nothing particularly stood out either. Perhaps Hervé suffered a little from our having eaten exceptional tapas the night before (vara), because the comparison was hard to avoid. The New Mexico wines were fine, but coming from California, we probably have a fairly high bar when it comes to wine. A nice atmosphere and an enjoyable enough evening, but overall the food and wine felt more average than memorable.

After that we enjoyed our sparkling flight and the halibut dip appetizer. Purchased a few bottles and on our way. Our tasting at Vara later that day was truly outstanding. ‍

This restaurant has been a great place for me to squeeze in as a solo diner for quite a few years. This evening was superb. So amazing that I had to take photos and send to my friends and say, "Eat Here". I had seared crusted salmon with some delicate fresh veggies like baby garden peas and on a bed of quinoa. Dessert was impeccable but light and flavored perfectly. Coconut ice cream with fresh berries and coconut crumble. There was an amazing presentation on both items but not too much to over adorn great flavors. So I say to you "Eat Here!"

Our server, Jonathan, was exceptional -- he…read moreimpressed us right away with his extensive knowledge of at least five specials, plus wonderfully nuanced details about the wines and cocktails. That kind of hospitality makes the whole meal feel elevated. I had Le Flor, a gorgeous pink gin and elderflower cocktail that was as lovely as it was refreshing. The mussels with green sauce and dipping bread were an absolute must-order -- we could have made a meal out of that alone. The mango gazpacho with honey drizzle was bright, unexpected, and delicious. We also loved the chicken thigh skewers, which were flavorful and tender without being fatty, served with a beautiful yogurt smudge on the plate. The grilled eggplant with capers and manchego was another favorite, and the jamón croquettes were crisp, savory perfection. Creative food, thoughtful service, and a warm Santa Fe atmosphere. La Boca is the kind of place you leave already thinking about what you'll order next time.

I suggest mixing in an item or two from each section of the menu so you can experience tapas from each part of Spain.

Came for two bottles of sparkling wines, ended up with two bottles of NM Sparkling Brut, two Blanc de Blanca and two of the Tempranillo Reserva. We enjoyed our tasting here.

The drinks were excellent, but the tapas were the real surprise. Everything we ordered was thoughtfully prepared, interesting and genuinely delicious.

We would absolutely return.

I understand many places are understaffed especially during big events like Indian Market. In case…read morea manager reads these reviews here are some suggestions. 1. Place signs around outdoor seating area notifying guests to place drink orders at the bar. 2. Designate at least one person to take orders at tables indoors. This should be easy to track based on who has menus and who doesn't. 3. Set up an online ordering system and place QR codes on tables for easy ordering. Give option to place orders at right or left side of bar. My aunt, mother and I were ignored multiple times by multiple staff after we asked at bar if we should order there and were told to take a seat and someone would be with us shortly. Two other tables that came in after us were served. I then had to go up to the bar to ask to pay as no one came by again even after all our drinks were empty for at least 10 minutes. Again multiple staff walked by us multiple times. Hard not to read into the reasons we were ignored specifically when several groups were being tended to.

The massive mirror behind the bar makes you feel like you've stepped into a classic Western movie, adding to the unique charm of the space. Their signature Sage Margarita is a must-try. The bar is filled with the subtle aroma of burning sage, which creates a memorable experience before you even take your first sip. The cocktail itself was delicious and unlike anything I've had before. My personal favorite, however, was the Mezcal Paloma. Our bartender, TJ, crafted it to perfection. Watching him work was like watching a magician at his craft, every drink was made with skill, attention to detail, and genuine passion. Between the beautiful setting, creative cocktails, and exceptional service, Secreto is a place I would gladly return to on my next trip to Santa Fe.

Not because of the atmosphere. Not because of the location. Because of Katya. Katya is not my favorite bartender. She is my favorite human being. I've spent enough time in bars to know when someone is good at their job. Katya operates on an entirely different level. She can take what feels like sixteen orders at once, remember every single one, deliver them with absolute precision, keep the entire room moving, somehow do the math in her head, and still make every customer feel like they're the only person sitting at the bar. The basement bar itself is exactly what a great dive should be; a shithole. Heavy hobo stab vibes upon entry, including Katya. Smell: multiple buttholes farting at once. Climate control: sweaty patron dependent. Lighting: liability. TV: playing a rotation of trash 80s DVDs . If business schools were smart, they'd study her. If hospitality groups were smart, they'd clone her. If Santa Fe has any sense at all, they'll do whatever it takes to keep her exactly where she is. Cash only, so come prepared. And bring plenty of it, because she deserves every penny. Katya must be protected at all costs.
