This is obviously a locals favorite. We rolled into town last Sunday morning so we weren't surprised to see a big wait to dine here. It's a big enough place but very popular. They told us it would be 15-20 minutes but it was no more than 10. Service was prompt and friendly. A shoutout to America! The food had the New Mexico fire we were looking for. My wife declared the enchiladas her favorite of the trip. read more

Service was great! Had a 10 minute wait for two after checking in with the host. No problem, the bar was next to us so waited with a chilton in my hand. The environment was a welcoming place. Not too busy not too lame either. There were mariachi's there to serenade the folks. Nice touch for the experience. I had the Carne Adovado, and it was perfect! My first time having that dish with a side of rice and beans. The side of sopapillas were delicious too! I'll definitely visit again!! read more

We came here yesterday around noon for some margaritas and chips. All the locals recommended this place for good margs. We sat in the bar area and were super happy with the chips and margs. After seeing the plates of food go back and forth, we decided to come here for dinner last night. Tomasitas appears to be a family institution in Santa Fe because it was packed when we arrived at 6:00. Green and red chilis are a staple at almost every restaurant in New Mexico. Almost every dish has chilis covered over it. Sopasillas are also a staple here in New Mexico. I can't find it anywhere else. It's served like bread baskets at other restaurants. The service is top notch and is a weel oiled machine. We loved ut. We would definitely come back when in Santa Fe. read more

If you're looking for classic New Mexican comfort food in Santa Fe, Tomasita's absolutely delivers. 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. read more

After a long day of adventuring back and forth to Albuquerque for a football game and other sightseeing, it was pretty late and I had just arrived back into Santa Fe on the railrunner. I started to agonize over all the dinner choices I had, but ultimately, convenience won out and I ended up just wandering into Tomasita's. Literally the closest thing to where the train dropped me off. It had a ton of reviews, and looks like it had been around for quite some time, so I went in. The place is massive, and the joint was jumping. They actually had a short wait. Upon being seated I was asked if I wanted chips and salsa... leading to my main complaint. Where I come from, and at every other place in NM I visited for similar cuisine, that is provided for free. They charge for it here. Listed on the menu... but I had not seen it at that point. I felt this was deceptive. That said, it was just a few bucks, and maybe the chips and salsa would be awesome. That was not the case. My chips were overcooked and stale tasting, and the salsa did nothing to help. A flat waste, and not a good first impression. From there things were better, and actually, my carne asada was way better than I expected... in the realm of cheap steaks, this was certainly one of the better ones. It was a combination that also came with a cheese chile relleno that I thought was great, and a chimichanga which was not. I was pretty full after that, didn't eat much on the rice and beans, but found them just fine. Interestingly, chips and salsa not free, but a wonderful puffed up sopapilla with a sweet cinnamon butter was. This, the sirloin, and the chile relleno helped save the meal. All in all, this felt like a pretty touristy place, but one with a long history. I thought it was fine, but should mention, it was my least favorite meal of the trip where just about everything else was a culinary delight. read more

It was... meh. We waited 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. read more

I came in on a lazy and cold night, no wait required. We sat by the bar in a cozy booth. We ordered margaritas, I actually was surprised that they served frozen margaritas, I thought that they were gone with the wind like piña coladas. We ordered a regular margarita and a frozen one, and both were delicious. We also ordered a tortilla soup, a carne adovada burrito, and a mix platter. That gave us a good sample of New Mexico food and Tomasita's as well. We enjoyed the food a lot. The mix platter was good, the carne adovada was amazing, the soup was good, and the sopapillas stole the show. I loved those fried things. To summarize, we had a good meal, we tried several items, we got a good idea of New Mexico cuisine, and we ate at a somewhat upscale restaurant with great service. read more

Cute little spot right by the rail yard. Went for a late lunch and had a wonderful experience. Great service and great atmosphere. Ordered a couple dishes beef sopapillas and chicken enchilada. Really big portion sizes and staff was so friendly (helped with sauce levels). We also had pine cheesecake- different but really good as well as they start you off will sopapillas and butter/honey (IN house honey) aka SOO GOOD- the combo was amazing. Overall great experience and a must for sopapillas read more

Being from out of town we decided to try out the Rail Runner and right by the depot in Santa Fe is Tomasita's! Relatives suggested we give it a try and I was glad we did.

This spot was on my list of restaurants provided by Pack Up and Go for my bday trip so of course I had to stop by since it was listed as one of the best restaurants in Santa Fe! It was a nice easy stroll from my hotel right by the Santa Fe Plaza. I got a very delicious margarita as well as the chili rellenos with Christmas sauce. It totally hit the spot! The portion was huge for me so I definitely had leftovers. The fry bread that came with it was also very yummy! Definitely a good stop on my first visit to Santa Fe! One weird thing, I was sitting at the bar and it seemed this group of older people had come in for whatever special they were having and they basically just hovered around me at the bar trying to get me to leave so that they could sit there. I was near the end of my meal so it wasn't a huge deal (and not the restaurant's fault) - just made me feel awkward and like I had to quickly finish up to get out of their way. read more

Misrahin provided excellent customer service! The decor is amazing, the musicians serenaded tables, the margaritas are potent (that's according to my colleagues, I had a soft drink), and at the entrance is a warning that their chiles are the HOTTEST (also according to my colleagues, because I avoid spicy). Everyone loved their food! Misrahan provided good recommendations, so I enjoyed my grilled veggie quesadilla, sans the green chile which was on the side;). We couldn't fit their famous dessert (being fully stuffed) sopapilla with ice cream, but if their sopapilla with dinner was any indication, that famous dessert must be yummy!!! A wonderful place to enjoy dinner with colleagues, so do visit and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! read more

The place was in the parking lot of the Railrunner. The food was quite tasty, but I was unable to enjoy it much due to a person sitting next to me after I had been served. It was quite crowded at the bar where I was eating. The bartender was very nice and served me well. I think I ate at the Thomasitas in ABQ about 20 years ago. read more

Tomasita's - Cheese enchilada with beans and posole - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Nice little place close to the hotel. Many people at the agency we were visiting suggested this place. Now, I am a looker. I look at what other people are eating to see if something catches my eye. Things I was seeing didn't really entice my taste buds. I was in the mood for chips and salsa but you had to pay for chips and salsa. I wasn't going to pay for chips and salsa. I decided on the Tuesday special plate. It was a taco, enchilada, and chile relleno. I asked for a ground beef taco. It was okay. The meat had a taste I wasn't used to. It tasted gamey, like venison. One of my coworkers said they may use very lean meat. I dowsed it with salsa and salt and ate it. The enchilada was a blue corn tortilla with chicken. It was okay, I cannot believe I'm saying this, the chile was a little too spicy for me. The relleno was good. The sauce was a little too chunky for me but had a good flavor. Now, I really wanted some rice. The rice was underdone. Someone told me they serve their rice al dente. Sorry, it was underdone. I did not eat it. The sopapillas and beans were good. I asked for a drink to go, and it was a huge cup. I don't think I took any leftovers with me. I had planned to and even asked for a to-go container, but I changed my mind. I think there are other places I would like to try if I am ever in the area again. read more

We have eaten here in the past when we lived in Santa Fe and always have had very good experiences. This particular time we dined out on the patio since we had our dog Henry with us. We were told the wait was about 20 minutes and we got seated in about 35 minutes. Our server was friendly and attentive for being as busy as the were. The ground beef stuffed sopapilla and beef tamale both smoothered with green chille, and the ground beef taco were all great. The salsa with our salsa and chip side was very good, and the sopapilla with honey butter was great. Overall, we had a nice dinner amd some great food. read more

Tuesday, our last lunch in Santa Fe at Tomasitas in the rail yard district. Tomasitas was not on our radar screen, but they must have been for half of Santa Fe. We were just checking out the rail yard district and looking for a place to have lunch. There was no line outside the restaurant, but it was jammed packed inside, elbow to elbow waiting to be called. The bar area is small and it was packed. Once checked in the wait was just shy of 30 minutes. They seated us at a two top in what I'll call the sun room. No charm here. The only problem is that we were next to a group of six that were having a really good time and were extremely noisy. Luck of the draw! We started with chips, salsa, quacomole, salsa and margaritas. The chips were thick and a bit hard. The quacolome was good but nothing out of the ordinary. The salsa was run of the mill. I ordered flat chicken enchiladas with green chili sauce. They were very good. When Jan serves these at home she calls them stacked enchiladas. Jan ordered the tamale plate and said they were excellent. In summary, the food is very good and that's the most important thing when dining out. The restaurant was slammed and very noisy. The service was OK, the prices moderate. read more

Save your time and money. This is overhyped. We waited almost 2 hours, so bland Tex-Mex. As someone from Texas, I was shocked at how horrible this food is passed off for such a long wait. I literally could find this food in 20 different spots across one Houston neighborhood. I think hype is really playing this place up. The temale reminded me of an Amy's frozen meal. I eat them often and was like this tastes soooo familiar. Their beef tacos was the saving grace. Amazing, flavorful, crunchy. If I were Tomasita's, I'd be pushing these tacos!! They taste way better than that green chile sauce they are pushing. read more

Came to Sante Fe for a day trip with my friend on my birthday and ended up having my birthday lunch here. We didn't have a reservation and though the place was packed for a weekday, we didn't have to wait at Al. Service was quick and polite and yes they ask you if you want them to sing happy birthday to you on your day :) As a Mexican coming from Los Angeles, I am very practiced with both Mexican cuisine + spicy foods. All this to say; I'm still confused how they advertise their chili as spicy (in fact, quite spicy!) when their chili was a 2/10 spice level at best (think... Chipotle's pico de gallo sauce). Mexican plate (lighter meal) 2/5 this was ,, just okay and more plain / bland than anything. It is definitely a lighter meal but I wasn't super hungry so this was perfect for me. read more

Tomasita's - Mexican Plate - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

We're from Texas and usually wine and dine our way across the enchanted land, hitting local spots, doing the tourist thing, and soaking it all in. But somehow... every trip, we end up spending at least one night at Tomasita's. It's like it calls to us. The margaritas are strong, the food's always solid, and those sopapillas? Downright addictive. Now, full disclosure we're die-hard Tex-Mex people. It's in our DNA. But Tomasita's? They've managed to scratch that itch more than once. The flavors hit right, the vibe's easygoing, and the staff is always on point. Tonight we even caught the mariachi band (we've seen them a few times around town) and they always bring the energy. Even if you're not doing the "tourist thing," this is one of those spots that just feels good. Highly recommend! come for the margaritas, stay for the sopapillas, and enjoy the show! : ) read more

Tomasita's is a classic staple of Santa Fe, NM. Renowned for their classic and upbeat New Mexico dishes! Oozing with flavor! Let's start with the phenomenal customer service! They make you feel welcome, they make you smile! You will want to come back! The ambiance is very lively. I was greeted and seated promptly despite this establishment being full to the brim. To start my meal, I ordered delicious salsa and chips which came with a salsa that was beyond appetizing and had a smooth spice kick! Next I was recommended the combination plate which consisted of a beef crunchy taco, one chicken enchilada, and a chile relleno with rice and beans. The flavors of the green and red chili were so bold! I could taste that this dish was cooked with pure love. The portions were also generous! To finish my meal off, I had a sopapilla. What makes their sopapillas special, is the fact that they come with a sweet brown sugar and honey butter. Yum! What an experience! I will definitely be back for more. Cheers! read more

Wonderful historical tasty restaurant for certain in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It definitely has a hype around it. A lot of tourist reviews, as well as locals definitely enjoyable but crowded most days in certain hours but the way is worth it. The cuisine is very authentic does not feel masked with spices or chili very even flavors as well as a very well-rounded menu of authentic New Mexican cuisine. The restaurant is large and filled with eye-catching photos of the families that have run the restaurant as well as some historical features within the building that shows the time that the structure has been there as well as the restaurant in the history. Service was also fantastic very much enjoyed our waiter and seemed to be pleasant to all the other customers that they were helping as well. read more

My husband and I were visiting Santa Fe and decided to try this place. Even though there seemed to be alot of people we were able to be seated immediately. I should mention chips and salsa are not free u have to buy we did get chips and queso and it was very good that was what I liked the most of this meal. Food wasn't bad but wasn't great. I had the chicken flautas and they were kind of bland the salsa I got for them was basically just watery tomatoes. My husband got a plate that came with a tamale and enchilada and he said it was fine. They did give us some Sopapillas with cinnamon butter and honey those were really good as well. Service was good and fast. Probably won't go out of our way to go back. read more

Really good! This was on my list of must try places while we were in town. We went for dinner on Labor Day and only had about a 5 minute wait before we were seated. They don't take reservations or call aheads, so keep that in mind. We sat outside and it was lovely, a little dark at first until the string lights finally came on, but once on it was lovely out there. I ordered the rolled enchilada and tamale plate, and it was fantastic. The flavors were amazing, it felt like comfort food, and was perfectly filling. It even came with sopapillas to the table with honey butter! Our service was great and attentive thanks to Valeria.

Arrived around 2ish and were sat right away in their dog friendly patio. Well shaded and everyone was very friendly. Cute decor and ambiance. Overall the food was okay BUT their chile bowl was DELICIOUS 5 stars simple ingredients and so much flavor. You can add meat and other items and cheese. The sopaipilla is 5 stars you HAVE to get it. I could eat like 5 of them. The spicy margarita was indeed spicy which I loved. Def will come back for more Chile bowls. read more

Expect long wait to get a table, especially when the train has stopped across the parking lot. Place seems to always busy. Wide variety of menu options. Beer, wine and alcohol b badult beverages.

After going to this restaurant for several years during my travels this place is now officially 'living on fumes'. Yea I know 50 years in the biz and I'm sure they know that they are serving very sub par basic Mexican food. I believe that the green chilies that was on my plate were from a can. I mean they were so uniformly chopped that no kitchen staff was involved in the prep. The salsa was weak but the only kick of heat on the plate. Just cafeteria food. The service was fine but I felt a bit rushed. I mean it was 2 pm and no one was waiting to get in. Another '50 yearer' restaurant in Sante Fe is Tia Sophia which has a relationship with Tomasita's and they still KICK ASS so you know which one I'll go back to. read more

If you're in Santa Fe this place is a must. Dinner time gets busy so if you want to skip the wait opt for visiting during lunch time or earlier in the afternoon. Being an appetite because portions will be huge. The red and green chili is a treat and I cannot rave about it enough. The green has flavor and it's a great complement to the food itself and brings out the spice in every bite. The red is full of flavors and also very thick.. oh so yummy! Additionally they are not stingy with the portions here especially if ordering the enchiladas, so expect to get a lot of delicious chicken in your dish. Every dish is slightly different in some ways. Some get served with rice and beans, some with refried beans, some with the beans and pozole (not the typical pozole you're thinking but more so the hominy). The star of the show.. the sopapilla.. how you choose to enjoy it that's on you but for me the best way is as dessert with the honey butter and honey, a cloud of delicious in every bite. Service is great also. Restaurant is clean and the servers work hard to accommodate everyone and the food comes out fast. This place is a hit for both locals and tourists alike! read more

Searching for a good dinner place in the city and this came up easily. It was a long wait but one can order drinks at the bar while waiting. If you are okay with sitting at the bar, you can do that as well on a first-come, first-served basis. The staff are great, from the receptionist to the server, crew, and baristas. I think the drinks were great and the mango swirl margarita quickly became my favorite. Their bread which serves as a side is a bomb! I did enjoy my menudo although I have to admit that the red sauce is what I prefer but they only have the white one. The steak meat is okay but could be better in that it's not medium-rare cooked and the meat was a bit hard. Ambiance is lively and the bathroom is clean. I will give it a 4 for now. read more

Went on the Railrunner with friends for a day of play. Weather was fabulous. Decided on an early lunch at Tomasita's restaurant. It had been 10 years since I had dined there. Ambiance is terrific. Our server was patient and answered all of our questions. The chicken enchiladas were divine! Thought the red chili was delicious. My friends did cheese and beef enchiladas. They preferred the green. Food portion is more than generous. The sopapias were gigantic!We decided we should have asked them to serve at the end of our meal so they stayed warm. However, they were still excellent! Our waiter was king enough to split our check three ways. Made it convenient. Will definitely make a point of going again! read more

If you're arriving to Santa Fe on the Rail Runner from Albuquerque, Tomasita's is right next to the Santa Fe Depot Station.

The food was very good. The margaritas were quite tasty! Everything was really good ... until a large group of teenagers and their adult chaperones showed up! Initially, our server was outstanding, engaging and really very good! But when this group (I want to say 50+) showed up, our server became a ghost! Honestly, I don't blame him. But management did a disservice by only having our server as the sole server to this group. We completely lost the attentive server and became nobody. This really changed what started as a great evening, and then became very mediocre! Management needs to do better! Also, since we were seated in some out of the way back room, and it was Tuesday, I guess our area of the restaurant wasn't privy to the live music! read more

I heard so much about this place that I couldn't wait to check it out. I loved that it's right by the train station and the feel of the building and dining room walking in. We also knew there would be a wait for dinner, especially on a Friday, but we got in way earlier than expected. As for the food, it was alright. I know New Mexican food can be heavy but nothing really stood out among the appetizers and entrees. I think it's fun to come for the ambiance but I felt like the cuisine fell a bit short of my lofty expectations. read more
