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!

    It is a very good restaurant. Interesting food and delicious. A bit too small. Tables inside are too close together and it is hard for people to move around tables.

    The lunch special was amazing and spot on! The service was on point, and I appreciated the wine recommendation to pair with my food. I highly recommend this restaurant and can not wait to go back again.

    The food is excellent. The restaurant was very crowded and very overbooked. And noisy. Many people lingering at their tables, hence many others standing in tiny doorway waiting for Their own reservations. And to be seated. Either the management must find a gracious way to ask them to not linger, or spread out the timing of the reservations.

    Love this place. My only criticism would be too many children! It seemed like 1/2 the restaurant was children!
