First time dining here, the food and service was outstanding. We were in a party of 20 (Santa Fe Foodies) and everyone was impressed plus, the restaurant did a great job serving this large group. The Chile En Nogada, a dish I always order when I see it, was the best I’ve ever had. Try it! The mole is also very good, unusual. Superb Flan. This is a new favorite for us.

My wife and I recently had an incredible dinner at Casa Chimayo Restaurante during the weekend of the Santa Fe Spanish Market in July 2023!

You’ll have a problem finding a parking ️ However, the restaurant is situated at a central location which is pretty much walking distance to various hotels; the food is delicious and it does worth the effort. The food is homemade cooking and the jalapeño margaritas were delicious! Highly recommended it.

I had Chili Rellenos, corn, fresh guacamole, rice, and beans. My wife had a steak fajita. We were there with friends and everyone enjoyed everything. Everything was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant. It has a great atmosphere, and the red and green chili are wonderful. Do yourself a favor and go.

An authentic restaurant in Santa Fe. Our waiter explained and recommended dishes that were on the menu and others that were not but that they could prepare for us. Truly a 5 star waiter, he knew what he was talking about and cared that we were well served. The food is phenomenal, delicious! Beautiful experience in Chimayo restaurant, when we visit Santa Fe again we will delight ourselves with this restaurant with excellent customer service and delicious food. Great location too.

Met with Santa Fe Foodies here. Had over 20 in the group. Service and all food was exceptional. No wrong choices!! The Biscochito CHEESECAKE was an amazing off the menu treat.

Wow! What an amazing place to eat. We have eaten at several places on our visits to Santa Fe, and this was by far the best. The food was so flavorful and delicious. The service was top notch. The owner and his wife constantly checked on us to make sure we were pleased with the food. Yes, we were! We highly recommend this charming restaurant with wonderful food and service.

This place was great! The server greeted the table and gave a very brief history of the building. He then gave great recommendations for an appetizer and drinks. We chose 2 classic margaritas and a blood orange margarita and the recommended elote appetizer.

Upon entering, we had a choice of quaint indoor patio seating or indoors. Joaquin seated us indoors as per our preference. He was knowledgeable about all food and drinks that are served. That’s almost unheard of in this day of servers/restauranteurs. We started with a sweet, red sangria and table side guacamole. Delish! Their salsa is also cleverly tasty! So many flavors in one little bowl!
