La Cocina: Reviews & Ratings
Amazing food and great service!! We were in Santa Fe for a few days and ate here twice because it was so good!! Definitely recommend!
Most excellent food and atmosphere. Service was excellent. We were told 45 minutes again so we went to the bar for an "appetizer ". Didn't get a sip of my Dos Equis and they came and got us.
The salsa makes your nose run and it's like chunky and there was a cold glass with my lime for my beer. The salsa is diff from the taco sauce they brought and the green chili is like raw not a liquid sauce. Like I would stay here to eat this place again. Valeria is a boss! Such bomb service. Best food ever
The grilled shell ground beef tacos are so good I can't recommend them enough!! The posole and pinto beans are 5 stars as well. Love this place.
Today we ordered the chicken enchiladas Christmas style. The red chile was delicious but the green chile was a whole new level of amazingness!!! We ordered the special with 3 blue corn tortillas and it came with sour cream, beans and hot sapopillas. The chicken breast meat was so tender and lots of it. This reminded me of food from my childhood - homemade and authentic. I'm sorry to be leaving town tomorrow but not time I am back I will eat here again!! Plus I purchased some freshly cooked tortillas in a bag to go. The desserts sure were tempting!
Came here for lunch while driving from Taos to Albuquerque. We ordered jessies combination and the filled sopaipilla. Staff was very friendly, place is pretty big and was crowded. Had some tortilla chips while we waited for the entrees. Didn't take very long to come out. The portion size is very generous. You have the option to get chilis on the side which we did. I liked everything in the combination mix. It also came with some sopaipilla which tasted great. Healthy amount of cheese on everything. I probably should have boxed most of it for dinner, but ate too much. The chilis weren't that spicy could have put it directly on the food. Highly recommended
Service was excellent , food was good. We were promptly seated and served tortilla chips and salsa. I did not care for either. For lunch I ordered guacamole enchiladas , my husband beef enchiladas. They are served with whole pinto beans, and I had calabacitas (squash) and he had rice as the extra side. While my husbnavd raced about his , I didn't really care for mine. The pinto beans were good. I did t eat the calabacitas (I'm not a big squash eater). I'd visit again, try something different. Plenty of good reviews and they've been in business for many years. Very nice interior and I liked the patio area!
