The meal and service were excellent as always. I’ve eaten in their old location several times but this was my first time in the new location. It’s a lovely space very quiet and nicely appointed. It’s the best steak in Santa Fe.

Food presentation and taste exceeded our expectation. The menu will change monthly, so we see us returning often for lunch and dinner. Amazing renovation from a prior barbeque restaurant to a first class atmosphere. Laura, has worked her magic again. Go to the Open Table app and make a reservation.

About the restaurant

Originally from Mexico City, Chef Fernando Olea, formerly Chef of Epazote, has been enthralling diners in Santa Fe since 1991. Chef Olea creates sophisticated flavors using Old Mexico’s indigenous and culinary traditions alongside ingredients from around the world. His menu is deliberately small, featuring fresh and locally sourced produce and meats when possible.

Nothing evokes the mystery of Mexican cuisine more than mole, a sauce of complex flavors that usually includes toasted and ground spices, seeds, nuts, chocolate and chile. Many mole recipes contain more than thirty ingredients and some recipes have five varieties of chile alone. Chef Olea is delighted to share his moles that include his "New Mexican Mole" that he created to commemorate Santa Fe’s 400 year anniversary in 2009. The large mural in the main dining room, was painted and presented to Chef Olea by Federico Leon De La Vega, a well- known artist from Mexico City.

Always excellent, meet chef Fernando Olea. So consistently good. A must have is the Sopa de Amor. If you can afford it getting the tasting menu, so much fun paired with wine and tequila. Otherwise every item on the menu is exceptional.
