Always great service, well timed dinner service. Attention to detail was quite good. We would prefer phones not allowed in the dining rooms, as it is distracting to the beautiful atmosphere and food. We do understand it is 2024 and social media is all over. We always enjoy our visits. Thank you.

About the restaurant

Opened in 2006 by 8 time James Beard Award Nominee, Chef James Campbell Caruso.
La Boca has the feel of a lively European wine bar, featuring an extensive selection of carefully chosen Spanish wines and Sherries. Chef Caruso's Modern Spanish Cuisine is inspired by the exuberance of Spanish cooking combined with fresh, local ingredients. La Boca has been called "the most influential restaurant in Santa Fe" by the Pasatiempo Magazine and the New York Times describes the menu as "modern re-inventions of classic Spanish cuisine" Knowledgeable and animated staff graciously guide guests to the perfect wine to complement their meals. La Boca also prides itself on being an ambassador of Spanish sherry culture, transporting its guests to Jerez in the crisp cool flavors of Fino, or the deep fig-essence of a Pedro Ximenez.

Our board loves coming here for the holiday lunch. Nice private room and waitstaff. We started with the great dumplings and calamari. The feature pasta was popular! Steak frites and tacos were delicious as well. We will be back soon.

Always a wonderful night out. The Elk was excellent as was the Duck, caesar salad, and the carpaccio. Service was excellent as well. We have so many great restaurants in Santa Fe and this is one of the best!

About the restaurant

Originally from Mexico City, Chef Fernando Olea, formerly Chef of Epazote, has been enthralling diners in Santa Fe since 1991. Chef Olea creates sophisticated flavors using Old Mexico’s indigenous and culinary traditions alongside ingredients from around the world. His menu is deliberately small, featuring fresh and locally sourced produce and meats when possible.

Nothing evokes the mystery of Mexican cuisine more than mole, a sauce of complex flavors that usually includes toasted and ground spices, seeds, nuts, chocolate and chile. Many mole recipes contain more than thirty ingredients and some recipes have five varieties of chile alone. Chef Olea is delighted to share his moles that include his "New Mexican Mole" that he created to commemorate Santa Fe’s 400 year anniversary in 2009. The large mural in the main dining room, was painted and presented to Chef Olea by Federico Leon De La Vega, a well- known artist from Mexico City.

This was our first visit to Sazon and it certainly will not be our last. The food, ambiance and service was unparalleled. We had the duck breast and the lamb chops - cooked to perfection and the accompanying moles and sides were delicious.
