Atmosphere was terrific and service was great. Our server David was attentive and answered all questions on the menu. We both had the chicken and shared a sweet potato. We left enough room for a churro dessert with ice cream and chocolate ganache. Everything was terrific. This was our first time to this restaurant and resort. Signage is limited, you have to valet or self park and have a golf cart shuttle you to the restaurant, which sits up on a bluff. The restaurant hostess calls the shuttle when you are ready to leave and gets you back down. Beautiful property.

About the restaurant

SIMPLE INGREDIENTS. HONEST COOKING. UNPARALLELED AMBIANCE. At El Nido we present exceptional ingredients from sources we know and trust. Our menu follows classic cooking with intelligent innovation. Wood-fired pizza, steaks and seafood cooked on the Argentine grill along with homemade pastas are the basis for our food. Our seasonal craft cocktails and Sommelier procured wine list compliment our diverse selections.
With many options we are sure you will find amazing ambiance in this historic building. You can enjoy the relaxed vibe of the Zozobra Bar or dine al fresco on our beautiful covered patio during the temperate Santa Fe summers. In the colder months you can keep warm and enjoy one of three fireplaces in our dining rooms, or dine at our Chef's Counter and view our open flame grilling. Something for everyone. We hope to see you soon, come relax and enjoy the best hospitality and ambiance in Tesuque!

Had a family group of 9 at El Nido for dinner on a Wed night in Dec. Outstanding service and food! Cocktails were great. Everyone loved what they ordered: salmon, branzino, limoncello chicken, pork chop & mole, wagyu burger, 2 kinds of pizzas, and filet mignon. Can't say enough about how beautiful and tasty the dishes were. Spacious dining rooms made for fairly quiet dining. I would definitely eat here again the next time I'm in Santa Fe.

Great meal, wonderful service, attentive staff. We celebrated a birthday with 8 of us. I had requested a quiet area and they delivered! The waitstaff serenaded our birthday guest and provided flan with a candle and a hat! The seafood fajitas were outstanding as were the beef, every dish was presented perfectly. We especially enjoyed the prickly pear margaritas. Sopapillas are not to be missed for dessert. None of us had dined here in the past, but this will be our new tradition! Don't miss the tableside Guacamole, the best I have had yet in New Mexico.

We live in Santa Fe and this was our first visit in a while. Sometimes resorts don’t do much to bring locals back. That was not our experience. Our server was fantastic. Very helpful with the menu and wine. She knew we were locals and did everything to make us feel welcome. The food was excellent. Because of this experience we’re putting Terra on our regular rotation.

We sat in the bar area. The lady working the bar had to make drinks for the entire restaurant and serve the bar patrons as well as other tables. It was way too much for one person to handle on a busy lunch day. We didn't get a drink ordered and waited about 30 minutes or more to get our check. I do NOT blame the server. She had WAY too much to handle. The food was delicious and we will return. We just won't sit in the bar next time.

Had the steak frites with chimichurri- was prepared perfectly, tender and flavorful. Very generous serving of the frites- which is good because it's why we all get the steak frites, after all! Jimmy was playing so a good time was had by all!
