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.

    Excellent in every category. We brought an out of town guest for a wonderful, as always, experience. We had nine tapas plates - old favorites like the kale and shrimp fennel salads, gambas al ajillo, and, tried a few specials like the roasted cauliflower in a barbecue harissa sauce. It's great to be able try so many delicious bites. The ambiance was perfect - I felt like I was in Madrid.

    We have been to Santa Fe several times but had never been to Geronimo. We sat at the bar which was awesome with fantastic ambiance. The bar tenders were attentive but not overbearing. The food was spectacular. The stuffed quail as well as the wasabi Ceasar salad were outstanding. They had a strip steak special that was very good. Finally the Mexican white prawn dish was so good. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough. If you go to Santa Fe and want a world class meal visit Geronimo.

    The staff went out of their way to make my mom’s birthday dinner special! A toast, a little soup (since she didn’t order a first course), and a lovely piece of lemon cake with a wish, completed the meal. We will definitely be back as it is an institution of Santa Fe!
