Small restaurant with great food and service. Very busy so make a reservation. The wine choices were limited. The "cheaper" wines around $35.00 were basic supermarket quality. This is to bad, you should not have to spend $50.00+ on a bottle of wine to get a decent wine. The food was however excellent. more

I recently treated myself to a solo lunch at La Boca, and was seated immediately (around 1:45 on a weekday). The hostess graciously moved me to another table when I was uncomfortable at the one where I was initially seated. I'm not a vegetarian, but it just so happened that everything I ate that day was suitable for ovo-lacto vegetarians,... more

We went for late afternoon tapas and were not disappointed. Extraordinary food, an interesting and reasonably priced wine list, and very attentive and enthusiastic service. When I asked about sherries, of which I know little, our waiter eagerly gave us with his compliments several samples of different sherries. This place tries to please and does. more

The tapas at La Boca is the best I have ever eaten. We were fortunate to be able to order a special tapas of locally grown, grilled, tiny green peppers. They were exceptional. The place is small and unique. I hope it stays that way! more

We love visiting Santa Fe--in both the Summer and Winter--and without a doubt, dining at La Boca was one of the best experiences we had on this particular visit. The food was exceptional and the service was at the appropriate level. As noted in many other reviews, it's not a large place--which makes it that much more fun because all... more

As noted by several others on this Web site, I wanted to check La Boca out because of the reviews it was given. We (My husband and I) made reservations, always a good idea, and had dinner around 6:30pm on a weekday. It was quiet, as expected, and the service was wonderful. We were sat close to another couple, and... more

This would have been an enjoyable place had we stumbled upon it and they were not busy, but after all the hype it gets, we were left wondering why a bit. They sat us exactly on time for our reservation, but it didn't help that our waiter took our drink order three times, and mixed up who ordered what food.... more

Sometimes I read hotel and restaurant reviews and wonder if the writers are kings and queens used to some higher level than I have experienced. I thought this place was great- the food not the decor. But you can't eat ambience so the food is my focus in restaurants. The tapas were great. True, tapas are not a full meal... more

We recently dined here and had a wonderful evening. It is definitely a small place (like New York City restaurants and so it seems like many Santa Fe Restaurants) and we had difficulty getting reservations but were glad we went. The food is exceptional, our waitstaff was pleasant and helpful since this was only our 2nd time at a Tapas... more

I had dinner here three nights ago and I can barely remember what I ate. I don't have any complaints other than that it is slightly overpriced, but I didn't love it as much as the other reviewers who convinced me to try La Boca. The service and ambiance were fine, but the people at the next table were more... more
