* Service was pleasant and attentive *Not very busy but noticed quite a few pick up orders * Indoor and patio seating options * Food was okay. On the bland- mild side of flavor and spice ... not bad food... just not the umph I was looking for. *Picked this place because I was more interested in trying out El Salvadoran food- and in retrospect should have checked the menu...and I was disappointed to learn they didn't have papusas (apparently only at their food truck) or for that matter a lot of El Salvadoran dishes. *Portion sizes of the entrees were good (not so much for appetizers) and prices a bit steep for some items. read more

We decided to try this place based on the reviews and it was located within walking distance from our hotel. We sat outside on the patio and enjoyed the fresh air, the blue skies and sunshine. The service was excellent- very attentive and friendly. Johanna made sure we had everything we needed. We split the Jalapeño Bites with ground beef and the Salvadorian Tostados. The food was 100% delicious and beautifully plated. Large portions so we couldn't finish all of it - which meant a great snack for later. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Service was friendly. My wife and I split fajitas and they may have been the best ones I've ever had! Perfect flavored steak and vege's were good too. House Margarita was perfect! Fresh squeezed lime, not mixer. Prices were reasonable as well. Restaurant was small but, clean and had both indoor and outdoor options. read more

Our first meal in NM! The service and the food was on point! The tomato salsa was so good! Service is great! The prickly pear margaritas were perfect! Would order them again! Green chile cheese dip was so delicious! It had chunks of veggies, plenty of chile and it was perfect for dipping the corn chips! We shared the sinoloan shrimp which was great with corn tortillas. Every bite was perfectly seasoned! The only thing that was odd to me was the French fries - should have asked out we could have beans instead. Would come back again! read more

Such a hidden gem! EXCEPTIONAL salsa that they bring out with the chips and it was amazing to the point that we asked for extra when our fajitas arrived. The ingredient for the fajitas were super fresh, and the service was friendly. My husband is picky about his margaritas and wants fresh squeezed lime juice and it delivered on every level Can't wait to return! read more

Very good food. Very good price. Very good service. My beef fajita was wonderfully cooked, with great guac, rice, beans, and a red salsa. I took home half of it and am expecting to enjoy it every bit as much tonight! My wife fully enjoyed here cheese enchiladas. We both had the basic margarita, which was smaller than some, but stronger than most! We expect to be back. read more

Torogoz Restaurant - Salsa and top notch margaritas - Salvadoran Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

I had high hopes for this Salvadoran restaurant when a friend invited us to join her there because of the first 5 star review. I thought, "GREAT! A new & delicious restaurant!" We made a reservation, but it's pretty new (opened in May, I was told), so there was no one there when we arrived at 6:30pm We had read about the fish tacos, so we ordered 2 of those & a chicken quesadilla,chips & salsa, guacamole & 3 margaritas (one of each flavor offered...mango, lime & strawberry.) Our server was sweet & friendly and kept our water glasses full. We started off with the margaritas, which were super sweet & may have been from a mix... didn't taste "fresh". :( Next was chips & guacamole. The chips seemed to be homemade.. thick & crispy. The guac was a bit bland... needs LOTS more onion, tomatoes & flavors. Was MOSTLY just smashed avocados. Not bad, but not a "hit"... Next came the chips & salsa. More of the delicious chips were great vehicles to get LOTS of salsa into my mouth! **THE SALSA!** Not very spicy & the BEST SALSA I'VE HAD FOR A LONG TIME! I literally DRANK what was left after the chips were done! We had two bowls of it! This was the height of the meal. This got an extra star from me... I would buy jars of it! The fish tacos & quesadilla were a bit bland & dry... they didn't even come with salsa on them. There was a "sauce"served in a small ram, but it was SO SUPER SPICY that none of us could eat it! I will say that the servings were BIG. Two of us could EASILY have shared the fish tacos (4 per dish) ... in fact, we took 4 home, which we ate with the GOOD salsa at home. (I asked that they PLEASE send some salsa home with me instead of the Chernobyl sauce that came with it.) We didn't order dessert. If I go back for the chips & salsa , I'll ask for THAT salsa with any dish I order. Before tip, it was about $100 for the 3 of us. read more

Torogoz Restaurant - Fish tacos; beautiful! But BEWARE of the nuclear-hot sauce! - Salvadoran Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Today was my last night in town and I wanted to try something new. At first I couldn't find the entrance because all the pictures I saw online showed this open patio area in front of what I thought was the front door, but it has since been fenced off and turned into an outdoor dining area. I walked down the adjacent alleyway and ended up in a parking lot so I was going to ask someone where the front door was located when I saw it, it was down the alley but it was blocked from my view because this big group of people were standing in front of it. The indoor area wasn't too big, just enough space for eight tables. I ordered the fried calamari to start and the fish tacos for my main. I was given some chips and salsa and the chips were good but the salsa was kind of bland. My calamari arrived 30 minutes after I was seated but it wasn't what I was expecting. It was mostly small rings over a salad of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, radish, and a few avocado slices. There were two sauces, one was thousand island which I assumed was for the salad and I didn't know what the other was but it was spicy. My fish tacos were brought out 15 minutes later. They tasted really good and featured cubed tilapia chunks on corn tortillas with pico de gallo and avocado slices, rice, beans, a whole grilled pepper, and another little cup of the spicy sauce. In total it took me about 15 minutes to eat but I was here for over an hour. Service was really slow and I don't know what took so long to prepare the food because there weren't that many people here when I arrived. Just one couple inside (who were almost done eating) and a small group of people at the outside dining area. The only other people who came in after me were here to pick up orders and they had to wait quite a while. The bill was about $43 including tax and a tip. The calamari salad was about $16 and the tacos were about $19. The text on the check was printed in Spanish and the restaurant uses Square as their point of sale system because I got an email a few minutes later with another copy of my receipt. I recommend checking this place out but maybe skip it if you're short on time. I'll definitely try to stop by the next time I'm in town. read more

If you are looking for flavor, this is the spot. Absolutely delicious food. Asked for spicy tacos and got exactly that. Plantains were absolutely delicious. Tostadas were mind blowing. Portion sizes are big and filling. Highly recommend. read more

Food was great! And staff were amazing! Definitely coming back next time we visit Sante Fe.

One word, Delicious!!!! We came here based on the amazing reviews. The place is a little hidden in this small plaza but man is it worth the effort to find it. The service is impeccable and the food is to die for. We came here twice while vacationing here for 4 days. This place deserves 10 stars. The fajitas are outstanding and on Wednesday they have papusas that are amazing . read more

Three of us went to Torogoz tonight for the first time. The food and service were both lovely. We shared a variety of pupusas (a special every Wednesday), plantains, and Bistec Ranchero. Everything was delicious and the portions were huge. What was sad was that this lovely place was practically empty. It's worth a visit and I look forward to returning. read more

Tucked just off of the main Santa Fe plaza. Easy to walk to. Service was pleasant and prompt. Meal was excellent and reasonably priced. Generous servings do don't go overboard on chips read more

I just had lunch at this location, and unfortunately, I cannot recommend it. It took almost an hour for my chicken fajitas to arrive. Service was so slow that I saw another table get up and leave because they had waited so long for their food and they had to get back to work. My fajitas were tasty once they finally came, but had I known I would be sitting there for over an hour, I would go somewhere else. My server was trying his best, I think it may have been the kitchen that was so slow. There is also zero ambiance, very bare bones. read more

I'm going to be that guy that disagrees with all of the other reviews. First, I have to talk about the ceviche. There are so many reviews where people say it was the best ceviche they ever had. Honestly, I don't even think it was ceviche. Ceviche is "cooked" in some acid (such as lemon juice). This clearly was not. It wasn't gross, it just wasn't ceviche. If you're looking for ceviche, this isn't it. If you're looking for a bland shrimp tostada, then maybe. We also had the steak and shrimp and fajitas. They were average. While the steak was tender and flavorful, the shrimp were flavorless, the vegetables barely cooked and the overall dish just meh. I will say the service was great, friendly and attentive. read more

Near Santa Fe Playhouse. Attractive interior and very friendly. Small is beautiful. Basic foods from Mexico and El Salvador. The salvadorian torta was a huge hero type sandwich, tasty and clearly gourment. The green chili and cheese Chicken was quite good. Jalapeños and peppers galore. The mojitos were excellent. Large bottled beer selection including four local products. The highlight of the meal was the flan! read more

Had an amazing lunch of Ceviche tostada appetizer and an order of vegetarian tacos. The salsa they serve upon welcome (with chips) is the tastiest I've ever had. The service was great and the food was better. We split the appetizer and entrees and couldn't eat another bite. I would return if I could stay longer in Santa Fe. read more

They didn't have their liquor license for outside yet, but it was imminent. Food portions were enormous. My wife and I shared tacos (good, but not great) and the Salvadoran torta. That was great. Very different from what I'm used to with Tex-mex. This place claims to be a Salvadoran/Mexican restaurant. Other reviews I've seen were consistent with this observation: the Mexican is just ok, the Salvadoran is worth coming back for. Service was good, meal took a while, but we were the first people in the door for lunch, so they might not have had the grills ready yet. I'd come back. read more

The food was great, and the server was super helpful. The restaurant was quite empty, but that might just have been because it was Super Bowl Sunday. read more

Food was very fresh and service was great! He gave us awesome recommendations for places to check out locally!

Very nice! Good food, nice atmosphere. We had the vegetarian options (somewhat limited) including fajitas and enchiladas, both of which were excellent. The portions were substantial. Service was friendly though a little bit slow (as would be expected) since they had a full house when we were there on a Friday evening. It's a block from the Santa Fe Playhouse and we had plenty of time to make it to the performance. We'll go there again! read more

had their wonderful Pupusas The chops and salsa were also very good sat on the patio very nice But they have a very nice dinning room as well excellent service read more

Food and service was excellent! We had a shrimp enchilada and the bacon shrimp. They also let us have our dog in the patio seating.

This was an excellent find! Cheerful. Our waiter was exceptional and the food was delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant

So delicious and great service! And I think the chips and salsa are some of the best I've had!

Amazing food and service! Great Salvadoran flavors. No wait for a table for lunch on a busy Friday. Right now they are only serving pupusas at this restaurant on Wednesdays, which was disappointing since I'm sure they would be excellent, but hopefully that will change. Will be back! read more
