Opened in 2006 by 8 time James Beard Award Nominee, Chef James Campbell Caruso.
La Boca has the feel of a lively European wine bar, featuring an extensive selection of carefully chosen Spanish wines and Sherries. Chef Caruso's Modern Spanish Cuisine is inspired by the exuberance of Spanish cooking combined with fresh, local ingredients. La Boca has been  called "the most influential restaurant in Santa Fe" by the Pasatiempo Magazine and the New York Times describes the menu as "modern re-inventions of classic Spanish cuisine" Knowledgeable and animated staff graciously guide guests to the perfect wine to complement their meals. La Boca also prides itself on being an ambassador of Spanish sherry culture, transporting its guests to Jerez in the crisp cool flavors of Fino, or the deep fig-essence of a Pedro Ximenez.

Join us every Thursday and Friday night for live music on the Taberna main stage!

    We had reservations at La Boca to celebrate a birthday! The selection of tapas allowed all of us to have favorites and avoid allergies. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure we were having a good time. To our surprise she gifted our "birthday girl" a chocolate dessert with a candle. It was a fun night and the tapas were delicious!

    Made reservations for 8:45pm and were sat right next to the entertainment who had a really loud speaker. There were many times we could not understand what the other couple we brought with were saying. When we first entered we were holding teas from an outside vendor which had not been a problem the first time we came to the restaurant. Host asked twice to take drinks to throw out even though we made it clear we didn’t want to throw out and we went out of the way to drink outside and put into the car before getting seating. After we sat, it took a while to bring out certain food like bread. The Mixta meat and cheese board did not have enough bread/cracker for a group of four. Overall, the food was delicious but the entertainment and general wait service was less than stellar. I understand that these kinds of places get busy and hectic but it was really embarrassing to take another couple to a place with really expensive food and not a consistent environment.

    We always love dining at La Boca. The Taberna room had great music on a Saturday night and was very lively. The food and drink was great, as always, and the service was friendly. The Gambas Aj Ajillo were perfect and flavorful. We also tried the Morcilla Pinxtos for the first time and the blood sausage is fantastic. Other favorites are always the Jamon and the Tacos de la Boca. It was a great night out!

    Exceptional dinner at La Boca on Wednesday evening...food was absolutely delicious, and I could not have recommended any adjustments. That evening, we enjoyed the Manchego Frito, Spanish Mushroom Soup, and Paella Classica...all were excellent...delivered to the table fresh and hot. Service was friendly, engaging, not obtrusive...nearly perfect. Even on a chilly Wednesday night, the Marcy Street dining room was packed and energetic bordering on noisy. At times it is difficult to engage in muted conversation, but the crowd was enthusiastic and talkative. Highly recommended!
