The owner/server made us feel like we were guests in their home rather than just customers in a restaurant. Genuine, warm, and welcoming -- the kind of hospitality that instantly makes your night better. Now the food... WOW. The prickly pear margarita deserves its own paragraph. It was easily one of the best margaritas I've ever had -- perfectly balanced, refreshing, and dangerously easy to drink. If you come here and don't order one, you're doing it wrong. What I loved most is that this place is equally amazing for vegetarians AND meat eaters. That's rare. * The squash taco was absolutely incredible -- flavorful, perfectly cooked, and proof that vegetarian dishes can be just as exciting as anything with meat. * Meanwhile, the menu is also a meat-lover's paradise with tons of taco options and traditional Mexican dishes that pack huge flavor. Everything tasted fresh, bold, and made with care. You can tell there's real pride behind the food here. Between the amazing tacos, the unforgettable margaritas, and the genuinely kind service, this was one of those meals you keep thinking about long after you leave. 10/10 -- would go back every time I'm in Santa Fe. !!!!!! MARYLAND GO HERE!

We got the mezcal margarita expecting something like a dirty mezcalito and it was not it. LToday…read moreseemed very light on tequila and very very light on mezcal but if you're a newbie you'd probably like it. But overpriced tbh Food was really good! Rellenos were covered in lots of red sauce which had the besttt flavor but absolutely no spice :/ the relleno also had 0 spice. 0/10 for spice level so also if you're a newbie go for it!! Beans on the side were topped with sour cream which actually was great! Also shrimp/fish tacos were delishh. Really good flavor and freshness. Would have been amazing to have some crispy taco options but soft was nice. Rice was the worst part of the whole experience! Soooo bland. Worst I've had in a long time for real! Thankfully the dishes have a lot of sauce to soak it up with. The bathrooms were cute but the men's bathroom is a one person and does not lock... anyways! We loved the vibe ambiance and the waiters were really awesome!! I'd recommend!

If you find yourself in Santa Fe, this is a place you don't want to miss. It was such a memorable stop for us, and one we'd return to in a heartbeat.

If you're looking for classic New Mexican comfort food in Santa Fe, Tomasita's absolutely delivers…read more We grabbed a table on the patio and started with their fresh sopapillas, which came out warm, fluffy, and perfect for tearing apart and dipping in honey. For my husband's meal, he ordered green chile enchiladas, smothered in their famous hatch green chile and melted cheese. The sauce had that perfect New Mexican balance -- flavorful, a little smoky, and with just enough heat to keep things interesting without overpowering the dish. I went with chicken tacos, served with Spanish rice and all the fresh toppings. The tacos were loaded with shredded chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and salsa, and the rice on the side was fluffy and well seasoned. To drink, I tried a layered frozen margarita, which was as fun to look at as it was to drink -- icy, refreshing, and perfect for a sunny afternoon on the patio. My husband had a cold beer, it made for the ultimate Santa Fe lunch combo. Between the flavorful food, the relaxed patio atmosphere, and the classic New Mexican dishes done right, Tomasita's is one of those spots that reminds you why Santa Fe's food scene is so special. Definitely a place I'd come back to anytime I'm in town.

It was... meh. We…read morewaited almost two hours for a table, and after all that buildup the food ended up being pretty mediocre. Not really sure what all the hype is about when there are definitely better spots to eat around Santa Fe. I ordered the carne adovada. The red chile sauce felt pretty one-note and the pork was on the tough side, which was disappointing given how popular the dish is there. Honestly, the chips and salsa were the highlight of the meal. The salsa definitely has some heat to it too . Overall, between the long wait and average food, it just didn't live up to the reputation.

Santa Fe Staple…read more.. Love the vibes of this place, and the food is consistent. I got the #10, which is a beef taco and a cheese enchilada. I got the enchilada Christmas style, which means half red half green sauce. Flavors were good, but the taco ended up being like another enchilada since it fell apart. Posole included is great, but not the biggest fan of their beans. Service was great today. Hostess has been the only problem the last few times I've come. Will be back.

The Shed absolutely delivered. I went with the tamale plate with chile on the side, and it was…read moreexactly what you want when you're in Santa Fe--simple, authentic, and packed with flavor. The tamales were spot on--perfectly steamed with a great texture and a rich, savory filling. You can tell they know what they're doing. Getting the chile on the side was the right move too--it let me control the heat and really appreciate the depth of the sauce. Both the red and green brought that classic New Mexico flavor without overpowering the dish. Rice and beans were solid, nothing flashy, just done right. The whole plate felt balanced and satisfying. Atmosphere had that warm, old-school Santa Fe vibe--busy but in a good way. Service was quick and friendly even with a crowd. If you're downtown and want legit New Mexican food, this place is a must. I'd order this exact plate again without thinking twice.

If you're in Santa Fe and not ordering the tamale plate at Tres Colores, you're doing it wrong…read more This dish is the definition of New Mexico done right--two perfectly steamed tamales, one smothered in rich red chile and the other in savory green chile. The red has that deep, earthy flavor with just the right kick, while the green brings a brighter, roasted heat that balances everything out. Together? That classic "Christmas style" combo that hits on every level. The masa was soft and flavorful (not dry like you get at some places), and the filling was generous and well-seasoned. The sides sealed the deal--fluffy Spanish rice, hearty beans, and a fresh, crisp salad that cut through the richness perfectly. Portion size was solid, presentation was clean, and everything tasted like it was made with care--not rushed, not watered down for tourists. Service was quick, friendly, and exactly what you want when you're trying to keep a night moving. Authentic, satisfying, and exactly what you hope for when you come to Santa Fe. I'd order this again without hesitation!!!

We came in on a weekday around 7:30 PM. As we were driving by looking for parking, we saw the…read moretables and chairs being moved into the gravel. We thought we might have got the closing time mixed up so once we found a parking spot, I went over to ask. They said they were moving all of the tables so that they could clean the concrete pathway. We asked if it was OK we sat outside still with our dog and they said that was fine. They moved us to the other side of the pillar which we originally didn't mind but then quickly realized there's no lighting there. So we were eating dinner in a very dim lit area. After reading the reviews, we were excited to try the fish tacos, tamales, and fresh chips and salsa. Unfortunately, none of these really were superstar standouts for us. The blackened fish didn't have a ton of flavor. I found myself searching for a salsa that had a little bit of salt and flavor to spruce up the fish taco. I ate one of the three and my husband ate the remaining. The tamales tasted fresh and the ratio of protein to masa was great. We ate the tamale mostly without the mole sauce, which we didn't really care for. The salsa and chips that came out as an appetizer were fine. The salsas were different and flavorful. I wish that when they dropped off the different salsas (which they do on a rotation) they would have explained what each one was.

tldr: THE SOUP This…read moreis a place where a tasting menu would be amazing because I'm sure everything is that good. Before they even bring the menu they bring out 7 moles to taste. Apparently moles aren't all dark chocolate spicy sauces ... ?!?? Loved the education and samples. I'm typically not a mole fan, but they were fun to try. We had the octopus but to me the sauce was too oily. The actual octopus was tender and delicious. Also had the duck skin tacos which were more of a minced duck meat taco and delish. The 5 stars go for impeccable service and the SOUP. This soup is not to be missed. Nothing on paper makes me think it should work but it totally does. It's a big lump of blue crap topped with creamy poblano pepper soup with whipped cream and amaretto and then topped with a spicy kick. Someone said cinnamon but for me it tasted more like hot red chili powder. Sounds incredibly weird but it was the best dish I've had in forever. Waitress was extremely knowledgeable and the chef was very welcoming and present in his cowboy hat! Space was cozy with amazing art. Perfect date night spot but plan to spend a bit of $$$

The black bean soup with all its ethereal silkiness is now pasty. No more sitting before a wood stove in the cozy bar area; first that table went, then all of them started to be regularly blocked off. The one reliably transcendent menu item -- oh, those squash blossoms -- was out on both of my last visits, which we were not informed of until trying to order them. Those two visits spanned two years as this is a special-occasions-only restaurant for me and most; it did not leave either of those occasions feeling honored, and the last attempt was likely my last.

I hardly ever write bad reviews: but…read more.... From the moment we walked in, the service was a mess, slow, inattentive, and borderline dismissive. We waited way too long just to get drinks ordered, and it didn't get any better from there. To make things worse, we ordered empanadas and they brought out the wrong ones, but at that point we had already been waiting so long that it didn't even feel worth sending them back. That pretty much sums up the experience: just settle for whatever you get because getting it fixed would probably take forever. The food itself wasn't even the issue of temperature, it just wasn't good. The flavors fell flat, nothing stood out, and it definitely didn't live up to expectations, especially for the price. The only redeeming part of the entire experience was the drinks, they were actually solid and probably the only reason this review isn't even worse. Overall, between the terrible service, wrong order, and underwhelming food, I wouldn't go back or recommend it to anyone.
