When we first saw Tomasita's we thought we'd be here all afternoon just to have lunch. The place was crowded but we were seated immediately. The service was great and the food was, although not the best we have ever had, very tasty and enjoyable. Portions are generous with plenty of meat in the entrees, the guacamole is the best... More

Boring average food. Got the beef quesadilla and the beef was very colored so I thought it would have a lot of seasonings. Nope. Guacamole on top an again no real taste. No interesting atmosphere and the hostess attempted to seat me next to the waiters stand with a half empty restaurant. There are way to many good restaurants in... More

The first time we tried Tomasita's on a recent Wednesday evening, it wasn't too crowded and the food was really good and reasonably priced. It was so good, we decided to go the following Thursday. That was a mistake. We had to wait 30 minutes for a table. Then we were seated in a smaller room with 10 people celebrating... More

This fairly large restaurant is always busy. The lobby may be crammed with people waiting but the wait is not usually more than twenty minutes. The food is different than Mexican and a little different than "Northern New Mexican": you'll only eat like this in Santa Fe. The service and the food are consistently good. The place is friendly and... More

We are addicted to sopapillas and these were great, big fluffy things, served without all the beans and rice usually used to fill plates, and they offer to serve their really hot chili sauce on the side. I will grant that it has gotten a bit touristy, but be generous, it is walking distance from the Plaza. And do have... More

This restaurant has great mexican food. This place so popular with the locals, it must be good. Although the restaurant was full and had a short waiting list on a Thursday night we were seated within in a few minutes. We had three very friendly wait-staff members attending to our table, so our service was outstanding. We started a bowl... More

I don't believe I've ever sat at the bar without friendly locals starting a conversation. The house margaritas are good. My favorite entrée is the Mexican steak platter, which includes both a steak and a cheese enchilada. However, the last time I was there, the "sirloin" steak appeared to be round steak, but I'll give them the benefit of the... More

I have been coming here for years and they never disappoint. The location is so great. Right next to the Railroad station. Going inside, the restaurant is large and spacious with great light. The wait staff is welcoming and helpful. My husband got the giant combo special and I had the vegetarian enchiladas, the red and green chile sauces were... More

Only restuarant in Santa Fe using a pager system because the wait can be so long. Food is average and the locals know better places.

I had gone to Tomasitas years before and wanted to take my husband. It was as good as I remember. Last time I had their chile this time I had shrimp quesadilla and he had chicken. It was the best we've had. Although everything to eat was delicious, the sangria was not good at all. Would I go again, oh... More
