The food was delicious ( the Tuna tartare starter was amazing as well as the main dishes of Prawns and tenderloin ). The service was outstanding, especially of Reginald’s. Great ambience. We had a wonderful birthday dinner experience.

About the restaurant

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.

5/10/25: 5-star Service is still fabulous. We were well taken care of by all team associates. Thank you to everyone who touched my table. (REWARDS E-CLUB MEMBER review): I recommend RESERVATIONS, although not necessary (you'll just have a long wait or be mad that you didn't make a reservation). Trust me on this one! Elegant dining lunch experience, amazing table service, scrumptious food and attentive staff & management. Ambiance is business casual. Great place for a celebration of all occasions. No appetizers or desserts because my plate runneth over from the continuous table service! Unlimited dining of perfectedly seasoned meats (beef, pork, chicken, lamb, sausage) cheese puff rolls, fresh food bar with an excellent variety of salads, fruits, and vegetables. Mashed potatoes, polenta, and fried bananas are served tableside. Definition OF TEAM PLAYERS is here. A dining guest can flag down any staff member with a request and doesn't have to wait to find his/her original table server. Love that so much! When you're ready to stop eating the deliciousness of...well, EVERYTHING turn your card on the table from green to Red and push away. Enjoy yourself ❤

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.
