Reviews for La Boca in Santa Fe, NM
This was an interesting experience. I'll start with the positive. The food and drinks were great. I especially liked the cheese... on the Tabla Mixta and the Grilled Asparagus salad was delicious. The reason for four stars instead of five are as follows. Wewere lucky to get a table without a reservation and they hassled pretty much everyone about not having a reservation. We werethere at lunch and the place wasn't even at half capacity the entire time we were there so maybe they were short staffed. Weasked the host if the restaurant is named after the famous La Boca in Argentina (because we vacationed there once) and he didn'tknow. The service ended up being super slow, my sangria took forever to come out as did our food and my BF gave up trying to geta refill on his iced tea. The prices are steep for tapas. Luckily my BF wasn't too hungry so it was OK but at around $16 for asmall plate, I can't imagine how expensive it could be with a large party of hungry people. Finally, they have one bathroom andI had to wait in an awkward line of three people (there's literally no place to form a line btw) right next to a table to usethe restroom. All in all I would like to eat here again but I doubt my BF will. Read more
Warm, inviting restaurant serving a plentiful variety of delicious tapas. Dishes are beautifully prepared with fresh... ingredients. Lovely cocktail and wine options. Great place to dine with family or friends. Read more
Nice little tapas bar in a cozy venue. We had the cheese board, shrimp, patatas bravas, and shrimp tacos, all were delicious but... the cheese board was the standout considering the quality and quantity of meat and cheese on offer. The sangria was okay and mywife had a nonalcoholic strawberry spritz which she enjoyed. For dessert we had a vanilla tart with brandied cherries. Servicewas good but a little slow. Read more
What a meal and what an amazing staff! Just when we’d be about to ask for something they would already be two steps ahead of... us! Food was a 10+! The mushroom soup, spicy, rich, utterly delightful. We shared a number of dishes their potato dish andhomemade sausage were fabulous. Highly recommend a evening here! Read more
The place is definitely worth the visit. Great atmosphere inside. Cozy atmosphere outside. The people working there were the... best! They were kind, patient, and above all else truly honest about the portion size. We would have ordered way too much food.The portions are big especially talking about paella. Menu states that paella should be shared by two people, but five of usladies shared it because its big. I did not particularly care about paella, the taste was off for me but maybe it's just me.Hence, the 4 stars. The blood sausage was unbelievably tasty. And the potato tapas were amazing. The house sangria was the bomb! Read more
I wasn't a fan of tapas before I ate here, but LA Boca won me over! The cheese board alone was heaven, especially with the... house made brandies cherries (seasonal). It was so good I couldn't photograph it before it was eaten! The filet is succulent,croquettes delectable, tuna mild, vegetables sublime. Literally ever did we ordered was exceptionally flavorful. And thechocolate mousse! Just a block from the plaza and one of the best meals you'll have in Santa Fe! Read more
The entire staff is friendly and warm. They gave amazing recommendations. The artichokes are good especially if you like goat... cheese. I really was surprised by the New York strip sauce combinations (blue cheese and caramel), so delicious! The dessert wasdecadent and the cookies were a great addition. Read more
Yum. Delicious tapas. Everything from the meat & cheese board to the sea food to the cocktails. Everything was fantastic. The... service was great. The atmosphere was relaxing. The tables are small but food can be timed out perfectly. 3-4 tapas are perfectfor 2 people. Read more
