- OTOpenTable DinerLos Angeles •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoMy girlfriends and I ate dinner at Sazon while visiting Santa Fe and were absolutely blown away. The food was delicious and delightfully surprising, and the service was impeccable — we were even greeted by the chef! Our server was very knowledgeable about the dishes and gave wonderful recommendations. If you have the opportunity to dine at Sazon, you MUST try the Sopa De Amor — it has the most interesting and delicious combination of flavors unlike anything I’ve ever tasted before.More infoSazonPrice: Very Expensive• Latin American• Santa Fe•4.7
- MMikeChicago / Illinois •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoDate night out with my spouse and her choice was La Pazuela in the Hotel La Fonda. Ambiance was excellent…beautiful romantic dining room as well as a separate tavern with live music—-flamenco guitar trio, I believe. Our hostess seated us promptly for our reservation for two and bottled water and a mocktail was ordered. Our server, Bryan, was on point with menu recommendations and explanations. We ordered the Chiles Rellenos (one cheese and one shredded beef) and a chicken enchilada duo with “Christmas Chile Sauce.” Nothing was too spicy, the accompanying posole and pintos were excellent as well as the entrees. After dinner coffee and a shared pineapple upside down cake was a perfect finisher. Afterwards, we sat for a bit in front of a huge, cozy fireplace—how idyllic. The service staff didn’t miss a beat, the hostess validated our parking, and we were on our way to stroll the town square and enjoy the holiday lights. Strongly recommend staying in the hotel if you’re visiting Santa Fe and enjoying the fireplace seating areas as well as a reasonably priced dinner at La Pazuela.More infoLa Plazuela at La Fonda on the PlazaPrice: Expensive• Southwest• Santa Fe•4.7
