About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
Opened in 2006 by 8 time James Beard Award Nominee, Chef James Campbell Caruso.
La Boca has the feel of a lively European wine bar, featuring an extensive selection of carefully chosen Spanish wines and Sherries. Chef Caruso's Modern Spanish Cuisine is inspired by the exuberance of Spanish cooking combined with fresh, local ingredients. La Boca has been  called "the most influential restaurant in Santa Fe" by the Pasatiempo Magazine and the New York Times describes the menu as "modern re-inventions of classic Spanish cuisine" Knowledgeable and animated staff graciously guide guests to the perfect wine to complement their meals. La Boca also prides itself on being an ambassador of Spanish sherry culture, transporting its guests to Jerez in the crisp cool flavors of Fino, or the deep fig-essence of a Pedro Ximenez.

Join us every Thursday and Friday night for live music on the Taberna main stage!

    Oversll fantastic. Artichokes to start were wonderful. Cheese plate and baguette next. Just excellent. Fig jam especially. Bruschetta was our favorite. Patatas Bravas with spicy tomato sauce and amazing garlic aioli was scrumptious.

    Great server who made wonderful suggestions, especially since I can't do any kind of heat (spicy, pepper heat). Everything came quickly, was delicious, and SO filling! Highly recommend!

    There is a reason why La Boca has become one of our favorite Santa Fe restaurants when celebrating a special occasion. The menu of Spanish tapas is always exquisitely prepared and presented, and the nature of the meal encourages you to linger and savor the experience. The service is always perfect. In a city blessed with an exceptional number of excellent restaurants, La Boca always stands out.

    We always have a good experience at La Boca. Love the outdoor dinning space , it’s an intimate space that makes for a special evening. The food quality always delivers and the live music enhances the experience.

    Maybe it was an off night but the food was meh to bad. Service was meh to bad. The traffic was noisy (not their fault), table was dirty; over-all, our experience was not what we’ve come to expect from La Boca.
