Chef Olea’s mastery of moles is phenomenal. The food and mole pairings are exquisite. The entire meal was one of the best I’ve had in Santa Fe and as a resident I’ve eaten most everywhere. The four of us dining that evening were sharing forks in order to sample a bite of everything. The service was impeccable and Chef Olea was out chatting with diners. A big surprise were the Mexican wines. They were superb. More

As always, a perfect and relaxing dinner. The service is warm and welcoming; the food was interesting and engaging and the wine list is first rate. We dine at Arroyo Vino every time we visit Santa Fe and it never disappoints. On this visit, the sweet potato ravioli and the pasta with house-made Calabrian sausage were standout dishes. One other thing: in an age when many restaurants elevate noise over elegance, Arroyo Vino stands apart. It is such a pleasure to eat in a lovely environment where you actually can carry on a conversation with your companions. Cannot recommend them highly enough. More

This is a great place to eat a special dinner. Wait staff is fabulous. I always order the lobster. The noodles and sauce were a bit saltier than usual. The key lime tart was delicious. Overall, Coyote Cafe is the best! More

If Mexican-style cuisines were rated on a scale from Tex-Mex to truly authentic, New Mexican cooking would fall somewhere in the middle of that continuum. A style all its own, it relies heavily on two things: cheese and chiles. In this state, chiles and the sauces made from them come in both red and green varieties. While red chiles have a bit of a kick, be forewarned that green ones are hot, hot, hot! A beloved dish is the green chile cheeseburger, which brings the heat to an American classic. Cheese and chiles aren't just for dinner; in the morning, locals enjoy these favorite ingredients in hearty breakfast burritos.
