Restaurants near Motel 6 Santa Fe Central

Had a wonderful experience at Sazon. It was our anniversary and we were served complimentary sparkling wine along with a card which said Happy Anniversary from the Chef. Chef Fernando Olea walked all around the restaurant and talked with the diners. I am vegan, and the staff treated me able to a vegan mole, a light vegetable soup, beets with a spicy sauce and a main entree with tofu and vegetables and spicy sauce with pine nuts. My husband enjoyed his sopa del amor and Chilean sea bass. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Appetizers, main meals and desert were excellent. The wait staff were very attentive and fun to be around. It was my wife's birthday and they made it very special. It's been a while since we enjoyed dining to this extent

Set up a request for 4 top on a Sunday night. Showed up and the hostess seated us right away. Soscha was our server and got us acclimated to the small plate way of ordering and also explained any specials while answering our questions about food terms and meanings. We decided to get right into the menu with Estrella Lager, wine from the Duoro and a Jumilla which were all excellent. We started the night with Marcona Almonds/pickle/olives. The Pimenton is a spicy dusting on the almonds…so good with beers. We chose to do round 1 with Fried Manchego w/apricot honey, Artichokes w/goat cheese, and fried pork belly. All were excellent! The baguette w/butter and olive oil served as a springboard into round 2. For round 2, we had grilled shrimp w/ fennel salad, New Mexico flat iron steak w/ caramel sauce…perfect choices for proteins. The big, juicy, flavorful fried chunks of pork were cooked perfectly and served with a semi spicy sauce. Flat Iron NM steak was grilled to a perfect Medium Rare temp—-so good! Finishing off with some fresh raspberry sorbet, vanilla tart with brandied cherries, and a round of hot teas. The sorbet was tart, with perfect consistency. The vanilla tart was a flavorful way to end the meal and the brandied cherries added a bit of acidity to the crunchy and creaminess of the tart. The waitstaff was humming as the night was busy early with diners, then the bar patrons picked up the slack after 830pm. The cute decor and excellent flavors made for a great SFE dinner out. Soscha exhibited the perfect skills of wine education, suggesting the next selection, all wrapped with a great smile and sense of humor. La Boca is definitely a “must do” for SFE diners and wine peeps. Can’t wait—-we will definitely be back for Paella soon!

it was so nice last night since it wasn't busy and we could actually hear each other talk!(my one complaint about this place is the noise level ) but we always have great service and I like sitting at the bar and watching all the chefs in action! I'm giving CC 5 stars !

Well staffed with very pleasant and professional FOH people. Food was excellent, my group of for split appetizers and we each had a different entree, no one was disappointed. Nice wine and cocktail selections.
