La Boca

Great tapas. They squeezed us in last minute and made it work- which we really appreciated.
The food was great and diverse. Server made a great wine suggestion as we aren’t particularly familiar with Spanish wine.
All in all- wonderful dinner and incredible dessert. Would definitely stop here again were we in Santa Fe.

The service is good, environment is cozy. Unfortunately, the food is not. Small portion, just Okay quality. We ordered four tapas and paella classica. I mean all of them are just okay. We did not order salad, maybe that’s better?

We made a 5pm reservation on a Friday. we arrived exactly at 5pm and were seated immediately. We sat for 15 minutes with servers and bussers passing our table, making eye contact, and no one came to our table to greet us, or even pour us water. It was my husband's birthday, and we had our two kids with us, who were very hungry and looking forward to a nice dinner for his birthday. We were hoping for a special dinner to start our trip in Santa Fe. A table next to us wat seated about 10 minutes after us, and was greeted immediately and told what the specials were. After 17 minutes of just sitting and waiting, with not one person coming to our table, we got up and left. We let the host know so they good have the table. No apology was given and or suggestion to stay to make the experience enjoyable. It was unfortunate that we did not get to try the food that seems to be rated so high. With it being such a small restaurant, it was very obvious we were not receiving service. The restaurant has my information through open table, and no one even reached out. I hope they can improve their training and service standards, especially for the prices they charge, so other guests will not have our experience.

We have come to La Boca for many years and have always loved the food, service, and experience! We took our two young girls there with us for the first time for dinner this past Sunday night, and as a family had yet another memorable night. Food amazing! Service impeccable! Drinks delicious! Christine was a real gem! ❤️🥂🍽

Best food in Santa Fe. If the server suggests something? Order it. They suggest an add on? Do it. The absolute best croquettas we’ve had. And the BEST shrimp plus sauce I’ve tasted - and listen to the server when they say order a baguette to sop up the sauce. Do the desserts. Do the wine. Honestly such a great find!

Absolutely amazing all around. The plates are small, which is why they are called TAPAS... and also why I went there. The service was warm, attentive and fast. The atmosphere was a bit warm temperature wise, but we are in the desert. Seeing bad reviews on this place is mind boggling....I am definitely going back again and again bc it was perfect.

Amazing experience! The tapas platter was excellent and the glass of Amontillado Sherry was perfect with the appetizer. All of our entrees were spot on and the wine list, albeit brief, was a good representation of Spanish wines. Will definitely try to make it back next time we're in Santa Fe!

We stop here every time we’re in Santa Fe! always a wonderful dining experience!

A friend who had stayed in Santa Fe previously gave us the name of several restaurants to try including La Boca and Santacafe.
We went to La Boca the first night we were there and were very impressed.
Seating is European style where your table is fairly close to other diners but you can’t really hear their conversations.
Our waiter was quite helpful in selecting Spanish wines which compared to the typical CA/WA wines we have at home.
We ordered the tasting menu which included scallops, halibut and tenderloin and the sautéed shrimp and yellowfin tuna entrees from the tapas menu. All were extremely flavorful and excellently prepared. I also recommend the chocolate cake with the small pecan mousse desert.
Definite 5/5 and plan on returning the next time we are in Santa Fe.

Had dinner here on Mar 29, 2023. Had some of the best food I've ever eaten - ever. The chefs here know their craft. Every item was top notch and our waiter accurately described them. Highly recommended. We'll return.
