   The place is quite small and tables are very close to each other. At 8;15 pm on Sunday, service was overall slow, and food took a very long time to come out. I ordered the garlic shrimp, patatas bravas, and filet mignon. the shrimp was old, overcooked, and the sauce was not anything Spanish. The patatas bravas had a little bit of pepper sauce, much less than normal, but had a large amount of mayonaise dip on top of it-not Spanish at all. The steak was fine, and the wine was good. However, when I finished, the manager came over and asked if I wanted something else. I asked for the desert menu, and she started looking at her watch several times. There were still several tables of customers, so I didn't understand why she was signaling me that it was too late. I complained, and they gave me a free desert, not of my choice. That's fine, but it still made an overall mediocre experience. By comparison, other Santa Fe restaurants at the same price point were far better in food quality, service, and overall experience.

   Fantastic! The perfect Sunday afternoon in Santa Fe! We sat at the bar and had great service, a journey & feast of food along with beverages. It was a relaxed environment. We finished the day here after skiing and what a treat. We were spoiled… it’s hard to say what was best because it all was so delicious. Okay… the Chicharrones was a favorite… crispy.. with a dipping sauce.. like a chicharrón nugget (instead of chicken nugget). The desserts … ufff can’t miss along with a cortado to dip the churro cookies… cant wait to visit again! Thank you for having us!

   The best meal we had while in Santa Fe! Small restaurant, around 12 tables. The food was fantastic! The grilled artichoke dish was so delicious. Great wine selection. We were there on a Friday night and they had a guy playing his guitar and singing Spanish tunes as well as some Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson classics. We had a wonderful evening.

   Celebrated a very important birthday and Boca made it special. Selections from their menu each paired with sherry was delicious. We’ve made Boca a favorite every visit to Santa Fe.

   I found this to be a different dining experience then your traditional order an appetizer, then a salad and finally an entree experience. Here you order as many "small plates" as you wish for your table. You can order multiple dishes and continue to order more courses until you are full. The food was great as well as the service. Also, if you are in the mood for a cocktail, I would recommend you try their old fashion, it was one of the better ones I have had.

   La Boca is one of those places were it is consistently good. We have never had a dish we didn’t like. The food is amazing. The gin and tonics are delicious and light. Service is always attentive. It’s always a great option for food in Santa Fe.

    Great range of tapas well prepared and delivered. Out servers were helpful in guiding to portions and flavor’s of various dishes. The kitchen delivered delicious and well presented plates that our table of 4 shared with enthusiasm for each dish. The focus on Spanish wines was a nice touch for this menu. Would happily return.
