   AMAZING! We had the very best dinner here! The experience was fantastic from the moment we walked in the door until we left. Our waitress was simply marvelous; she helped us decide what to order and then curated our dinner expertly. Every bite of each item we ordered was delicious: we started with the kale salad, had the grilled artichokes, moved into the divine shrimp (I could literally drink that sauce!) and toasted baguette, and finished with the paella. For dessert we had something that was similar to flan but 100 times better (cannot remember what it was called), that I could have eaten three of. I wish I could eat here once a month. Definitely get reservations; but if you don't, they will direct you to the sister site, La Boca Taberna. I think this is a "Don't Miss!" if you are in Santa Fe.

   Server (Christine) was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful in terms of selecting items and pacing delivery of the selections. Everything was delicious, especially the artichokes. We were offered a taste of the wines were we were debating and the Tempranillo Reverva was excellent. Did not feel rushed and enjoyed the atmosphere.

   Great Spanish food and service. However, noticed that paella did not have a crust from the paellero. This is because it was not cooled at high heat in the pan. Good flavor but would be better with crusted rice.

    Was looking for a nice place after just arriving in Santa Fe. La Boca fit our mood and interest perfectly. On arriving found the place nicely and reassuringly crowded but with reservations we’re seated immediately. The wait staff was extremely friendly and helpful in choosing both wine and dishes. All were perfect and we’re both fun and delicious. Highly recommend.

    Our dinner at La Boca was very memorable and defiant return the next time in Santa Fe. The food was excellent and the service provided by Sawyer our server was fantastic!!! The one weak point in the evening was our meeting with the manager. I’m guessing he was. We came in the wrong part of the restaurant for our reservation and was quickly told they weren’t open till 5 pm. It was 4:58 and the door was unlocked. We were taken to the correct part of the restaurant by a wonderful employee. The manager showed up later to the dining area where we were having dinner. When we left there was no thank you for coming in or hope you enjoyed you dinner. My husband told him that Sawyer have us excellent service and the response was a grunt. Must work on his people skills.

    My tapas lunch at La Boca was such a treat! Loved the tapas, my waiter was delightful and suggested a wonderful red wine to accompany the meat tapas I had chosen. I was in Santa Fe for two nights, and hadn’t been there since 1999! I would definitely eat here again.

    Arrived for an early dinner (5pm) and were quickly seated. Our server was a bit quirky and seemed put off that we wanted to put in our drink order first so we had more time to decide on our food choices. We heard another server presenting the specials so asked our server about them and were told "it isn't 5pm yet so I can't tell you" even though it was well past 5pm. The fried manchego salad was delicious but was not a fan of the ham croquettes. They were a bit to mushy and battery on the inside. The seared yellowfin was amazing with the pea puree but really needed a cracker or bread accompaniment to make that plate really fantastic. The sangria was really good as was the signature gin and tonic. Overall average food, fair service, and excellent drinks. Might try it again to see if the other menu items are better and having a different server improved the overall dining experience.

    The food was excellent -- expertly prepared and delicious. Our party of two shared 6 tapas dishes and that was plenty (and of course we added dessert too). The service was outstanding -- attentive and knowledgeable. The wine suggestions were on point. The Marcy Street dining room is pleasant and comfortable (perhaps a little tight on space for the number of tables). We have found a new favorite and definitely plan to go back!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at La Boca! Walking in, we were greeted by a sweet and attentive host who actually acknowledged my dietary restrictions (noted on my OpenTable profile) and asked clarifying questions. We were seated at a lovely table that was perfect for our needs. Service was also warm and attentive. The food was amazing! The Grilled Eggplant was a delicious surprise of flavors. I may have to drive back to Santa Fe just to have it again. The Morcilla was another favorite. Overall, an excellent dining experience all around.

    Absolutely fantastic! The service, the food, the wine - everything! We were a party of 5 and selected the small plates we wanted to try, but relied on the friendly staff to serve courses as she deemed appropriate. First time in Santa Fe and first time here, but would most certainly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting/living in Santa Fe!
