This is the best place I’ve eaten at in Santa Fe so far. We are for the week and have tried many places. This is just next level. Our server was so friendly and told us a bit about the rich long history of the restaurant and how many of their foods are locally sourced. It is truly a family restaurant. The waiter didn’t write anything down and got everything correct and remembered where everything went. If you come here (and you should) ask for Joaquin.
Fantastic experience. The owner was so kind and accommodating for our anniversary. Will never forget the tasty food, cozy atmosphere, and experience.
Amazing food and experience. Our waitress was phenomenal very knowledgeable about the food and culture of New Mexico. If I ever return to Santa Fe, I will be stopping in.
We came here for our anniversary dinner and it was AMAZING! My husband got the duck mole and I got the crab enchiladas, as recommend by our waiter. Everyone was so kind and the atmosphere was cozy. We considered a different restaurant but I’m so glad we came here! If we lived in the area this would be our go to spot! You also won’t go wrong with the table side guacamole.
The Staff and Owner immediately accommodated the additional unplanned members of a large Birthday Party. They really made the authentic food, traditional experience, and extraordinary efforts to bring all that is and makes Santa Fe, New Mexico so special. Without a doubt we all will be back to continually enjoy the genuine authenticity of Casa Chimayo Restaurant.
Almost every item is GLUTEN FREE or can be made to be. Great chips and salsa! Table side made guacamole is yummy! An absolute must when visiting Santa Fe! Outside seating for summer and super quaint but very comfortable inside when it’s cold outside. We’ve had a variety of different entrees and every. single. one has been delicious! Service is excellent. Pricy but well worth it!!
We stumbled upon this restaurant while exploring downtown Santa Fe. It’s safe to say that our expectations were exceeded!! Not only was every plate beautiful & delicious, the service was top notch. Our server, Michelle, was super friendly and informative. 10/10 would recommend :)
