Almost impossible to find unless you are staying next door at the Inn on the Alameda, but absolutely worth it. The staff were knowledgable and attentive and the food was fresh and imaginative. Prices were very reasonable. Do not judge this restaurant by the outside it is a little quirky, but inside it is comfortable and the food great.

Mucho Gusto continues to be one of my favorite Santa Fe restaurants. The service is always friendly and efficient and the food is delicious and very reasonably priced. We had fajitas and salad and shared a piece of margarita pie for dessert, actually considered ordering another one! Highly recommend this little jewel!

Excellent southwest food, really close to the hotel. Amazing sangria and friendly service. It was nice to be able to walk in without a reservation.

We heard about this place from our innkeeper who recommended the mole dish as better than what he'd had in Mexico. It was truly delicious. The restaurant is tucked away, in back of storefronts on the Paseo close to downtown. The menu is varied & affordable. We went several times while visiting & were never disappointed in the friendly service... More

We had a fantastic dinner at Mucho Gusto Mexican Cuisine. We asked the difference between Mexican and New Mexican, it comes down to the sauce. The question in New Mexico is "Red or Green?" chili added over the top of your dinner. Mexican the sauce and flavor is cooked in and was very good. You had the option of hot... More

This is a small out of the way restaurant. We decided to go on the recommendation of our B&B. It was fabulous food at a reasonable cost for very large portions. The atmosphere is low key and perfect after a long day of sightseeing.

It's been quite a few years since we have eaten at Mucho Gusto and after returning to the restaurant this week, I'm glad to see the food is as good as ever. The restaurant is a little hard to find as it's behind some other commerical buildings on Paseo Peralta (eastside) but it's only about 4 blocks from the Plaza... More

We were staying at the Inn on the Alameda recently, and one night walking back from the square, we saw Mucho Gusto in the corner of the parking lot near the hotel. We kind of laughed and wondered how bad it probably was. Got back to room and checked TA and Yelp, and lo and behold, this place had awesome... More

Try the chicken bomb and the sangria. Outstanding food and excellent service. We only have two days in Santa Fe and my husband says he wouldn't mind coming back tomorrow!

How great is the food and service at Mucho Gusto? I ate there twice on a recent trip, despite my usual vacation philosophy to always choose a different place to eat each night. The food would be great in any city, but for me the bonus was that some of their dishes are made with restrained use of chiles. I... More
