Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Placitas

You can’t beat the views and the unique experience. Everything we tasted was delicious, the staff were all very friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed the entire meal.

Great service. Great food. Very reasonably priced. Can’t wait to go back and try other items on menu.

We got married at the Prairie Star (17) years ago and every year on our anniversary we have a wonderful dinner there - just the two of us. Rebecca planned and orchestrated our wedding. And as hoped for - She's was there last night as usual making sure everyone was being treated to a 5 star experience. Our waitress Francesca is also an experienced server and her knowledge of the food and drink menu was right on the money -plus she is a delight to meet. We had the best anniversary evening yet. Superb food - atmosphere only surpassed by the graciousness of our hostesses. You'll enjoy your time there as well. THANKS TO ALL!

One of the finest meals we've ever had. A perfect birthday dinner for 2. Sazon deserves its reputation for fine dining, but the rumor that's it's super-expensive is undeserved. Huge wait staff, very attentive to the details; chef's creations were original and perfect. Water Street public parking lot is 1 block away.

As always, an exemplary dining experience. Delicious appetizers and main dishes: roasted beet salad, mushroom bisque, pork shank, and rack of lamb. Ambience and service were top-notch. Servers were friendly and professional. I have two very minor complaints, and both involve the bread. Geronimo’s used to deliver an impressive bucket of bread with long pieces of lavage oriented vertically, creating an impressive architectural display! Now, it appears they have shifted to more of a standard issue bread basket, which included two types of bread and several pieces of delicious lavash. While eating our main dish, we requested some additional lavash and butter. I expected that we’d get a fresh bowl of lavash and butter. Instead, the server put a couple of pieces of lavash in our existing bread basket and didn’t bring any butter. Not a big deal, but what could have been an absolutely perfect meal was slightly marred by the disappointing bread issues and somewhat stingy refill. Bring back your beautiful bread buckets!!!
