The service was great and the swirl margaritas were even better!! I had the half plate flautas and husband had green chile stew. Both dishes were yummy and a sopapilla for dessert was just right!! The service was quick and friendly, so we will keep coming back! read more

This place is out of a mall, so perhaps I shouldn't have expected the food to be great but this place missed in several other ways as well. After waiting our 30 minutes on their waitlist, they text us, called our party name once before moving to the next part to seat them as we walked up. Interesting hosting choice! Both the Diet Coke and Coke we ordered came out as if something was wrong with the carbonation. It seemed they replaced the Diet Coke because the second one was good but my Coke was worse the second try. It's disappointing when they don't have cans for situations like this because I was offered to continue drinking water and they would remove the coke, a pretty sorry response IMO. My partners vegetarian and when her enchiladas were delivered there was chicken visible so she luckily didn't take a bite before getting it sent back for the correct dish. Manager was quick to stop by and apologize for the mistake and change out her fork at her request as they had taken her fork with the previous enchiladas. To be fair, their flautas were jam packed with chicken, but just didn't taste great to me, and it wasn't clear if it was the seasoning, ratio of chicken, or something else. Overall super loud atmosphere, and service was very slow, as we had to wait almost 10 minutes after requesting the check to have the card picked up. Overall there are so many better places for Mexican food in Santa Fe, I would not recommend anyone come here. The rice and beans were particularly bland, and I left with a stomach ache. To their credit, they did remove the coke and Diet Coke from the bill. read more

I don't get it, why all the crazy good reviews ? The 1/2 nacho order with shredded chicken and green salsa is good but they were stingy with the guacamole. Enchilada looked great but the corn tortillas were firm and the rice tasted pre-cooked - not good. Beef, and cheese is good. The chicken was not seasoned and bland. Sopapillas taste like greasy pita bread. See photos. The lamb burrito has excellent lamb but it's one boring burrito. Just green salsa , a doughy firm wheat tortilla and nothing more. We are not coming back. The service is spectacular. Greeting and attention is perfect. The ambiance is an older crowd coming from the mall. Very casual. read more

Tried their lite plate that had many things for $12.50. Rice, beans, chicken enchilada and posole ( corn and pork side). It was ok. read more

We had a large group so we called ahead to get on the waitlist. They were friendly and helpful, and the communication was great! We were seated as soon as we arrived and our server, Rosa, did a phenomenal job. The food was amazing, with fresh local beef, and the sopaipilla dessert was outstanding! read more

Our server was welcoming and helpful. Margs were tasty. This restaurant is at the entry of a mall but don't let that keep you from experiencing good food! We split the wedge salad which had a ton of bacon! And shared a bowl of green chile stew. Both were very tasty. The restaurant was nicely decorated offering booths and tables/chairs. We plan to visit again. The flan was sooo good! read more

This restaurant was recommended by a local. It's not in downtown but about 2 miles from town center in a Mall. Plenty of parking so no stressing to find a spot to park. It's generally crowded but they got us seated after a short wait. The inside is nice but not overly decorated. The server was helpful and very attentive. We got chips and salsa for a starter. The chips were good and the salsa delicious. It had a nice bit. The entrees were both the combo plates. A chicken blue corn enchilada, a beef taco, beans, and posole. The red and green chili on the enchilada was insanely good. The beef taco was the best I've ever eaten. They use local raised beef and grind it in house. Easily one of the best meals on our Santa Fe visit and the prices are lower than in town for the same quality of food. This is a can't miss spot. read more

Came to Santa Fe for my granddaughter's graduation. Came here afterwards to celebrate after the place we chose originally was packed. I'm glad they were, because this place was much better. I had the stuffed sopapila with lamb, and a strawberry margarita. Hubby had frito pie. It was delicious. Portions were generous. The service was great, the ambiance warm and friendly. Would definitely eat here again read more

We went on a busy afternoon and they managed to squeeze us in and to top it all off. The food was amazing. I definitely recommend this to everybody read more

The food at Atrisco is amazing. The service is exceptional. There is never a long wait time as the food comes out quick. Viridiana always makes my family and I feel welcome. My favorites are the ground beef tacos or the chili bowl with posole, beans and chicken- red. I highly recommend. read more

Anywhere else, this place would be 5*. Ok, I made 5*, but it just barely gets there. Food was very tasty. Just the right amount of heat, just a complement to the Chile flavors. Sopapillas were different; almost seemed like they were whole wheat. Not what I was used to, but perfect for sopping up the extra sauce. Margaritas were really to my liking. Service was good, not inspired. Adequate. read more

Friends brought me here for some good ole' New Mexican favorites. Very casual place that normally (friends described) is busy enough to require a wait but thankfully we were seated right away. The menu was quite diverse but I wanted to stick with one of the local specialties, a stuffed Sopaipilla with Lamb and Christmas chili. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but it turned out rather tasty. Basically the lamb is stuffed into a think pita-like bread (Don't shoot me) and smothered in cheese and red & green chili. I enjoyed it, but in hindsight I think lamb doesn't pair that well with chili. WOuld have been better to have carnitas, chicken, or beef. Service was pretty quick and overall good, though at times the waiter would hard to track down. Good value for the money, would come back. read more

Good Friday would not be the same without a stop at Atrisco's! Our meatless Lenten meal consisted of a bean burrito and cheese enchiladas. Salsa and chips to snack on while we waited for our entree. We sit at the bar where everyone is friendly and welcoming. Service is great and those sopapillas are a nice dessert with honey. No doubt we will be back. read more

Love it, food is amazing. Service was great, and can't wait to go back. It's a very friendly and welcoming place.

Coming up from ABQ to go to Santa Fe Market this is one of a few places we stop for Breakfast. Filled with Locals. Doesn't that tell you something? Gabriel is one of favorite waiters and although we can't always sit in his section, he will always stop by and say Hello. Friendly, real food with local flavor. There is a bar if you want an alcoholic drink and their fried Mushrooms are the best! Don't let the fact it's in the mall fool you, you will be happy with the experience! Travelers and Locals - if you have gone there do it! read more

I got the lamb sopaipilla xmas since few places offer a lamb option. Instead of the meat being shredded or chunk it was sliced like deli style for a sandwich which was a bummer. The red and green were both spicy and delcious! I'd get the chicken next time and skip the lamb. Server was friendly and efficient. read more

We were excited to give this place to go. We were passing through on our way back from Taos and ultimately were quite disappointed with the overall experience. Front of house staff seemed nice but unfortunately, after getting our food we discovered that there was no care in the making of our food or packaging it! We have high standers when spending money on food! They were kind giving us a full refund! Hopefully in the future they will take more pride in what they were give there customer. read more

Always a solid NM choice. They have the swirl so you don't have to wait hours to get one elsewhere. I usually go with the Lite plate but the frito pie and the southwest chicken salad are all winners. Leave room for the sopapilla. They have serving food down to a science and it's consistent and quick. Sitting at the bar is always a good option for singles or couples. read more

Their green chile was great on my roast beef burrito, as was the excellent frozen margarita. Service is always great. Their sopapillas are always an added bonus. read more

Nice place. Customers were, including us, all in a good mood with the appropriate amount of staff attention. Food, burger and customized enchilada order, were excellent. Personal opinion, I got christmas chili, the green was better. read more

We stopped it for a lunch boost. A half order of their nachos and a cup of green chile stew really hit the spot! Chile was flavorful and just the right level of heat. Now to continue shopping! read more

Yummy food. Go early to get a seat as they get busy. Authentic New Mexican cuisine, delicious!

I really wanted to love this place- they were really busy, but the service was good. Welcoming and friendly. The food was bland- lacking seasoning and heat, the green chile stew needed cooked for much longer, the potatoes were just done, the meat chewy, the broth thin. The guac was just ok, the red and green chile both were kind of eh. Just a general lack of flavor. Disappointing. read more

Great green chile but the red is really as good as it gets. Earthy, flavorful stuff. Always busy. You know it's special when the place serves Northern NM lamb. Service is always good. read more

Would be a 5 except they limited margaritas to 2 per person which is UnAmerican.... Seriously, who does that? The stuffed sopapilla was delicious, read more

Best menudo I have ever had. The Chile has a very great taste. Definitely recommend for the menudo fanatic!

We thoroughly enjoyed Atrisco on our visit to Santa Fe. Both the green and red chili sauces were too hot for either of us, and we aren't total wimps. I got the waiter to bring me a side of their salsa instead, and that was perfect. Our fav was the Chicken Chalupas. A few days after we ate there, we went back for take out. Will go back! read more

its a shame. i pass through santa fe all the time and made a b-line for atriscos tonight with my spouse before they closed. I've been talking them up for a while and have been coming here for years. we arrived at 8:20pm on a thurs night with plenty of time before closing at 9. guess what: "we are closed ....but the sign says 9pm. yeah tonight was slow. but we just want a margarita or 2 and will be out by 9. sorry. we are closed. 40 min early? yep. have a nice day." clearly this business feels they dont need yours or my business. sadly I have to recommend skipping this establishment for a restaurant that understands food service 101. read more

Real NM food . Local spot with excellent service, margaritas and Christmas Chile. My fav

One more thing. The sopapillas are much better at Atriscos. If at La Choza pick the garlic toast instead. It's good. I always order the red cheese enchiladas anywhere I go and prefer the posole at La Choza rather than the Spanish rice you get at Atrisco's. The posole has a decent amount of pork and a nice touch of oregano. Most restaurants are stingy with the meat and just give you corn. Both restaurants are good but the red chile from La Choza is in my opinion much better and worth the wait. I have to admit that I mostly eat at Atrisco's because it's good food, convenient, and usually shorter wait times so I'm not being as critical as it might sound. Tomasita's, Tia Sophia's, and The Shed are also good and they don't put flour in their red chili (many restaurants do). I haven't been to these restaurants lately so I can't say anything more than they are also good. Lifelong Santa Fean read more

Ate dinner at Atrisco in Santa Fe tonight. Disappointing. Had cheese enchiladas - the chile (red) was decent, but the beans and rice left a lot to be desired - super bland. The sopapillas were also bland and not puffy like a sopapilla should be. Green chile stew was fair, more tasty than the other items, but could use more ingredients - big chunks of potato and meat and that's all, and not very much meat, mostly potato. Needs improvement. read more

Great restaurant to get a true taste of New Mexico cuisine. Knowledgeable staff that explained the dishes and ingredients. Dinner plate servings are generous so arrive with an appetite. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting to try NM food. read more

Very pleasantly surprised with this restaurant! Some of the best Northern New Mexican food we have had in decades. Not fancy, but nice ambiance for a mall restaurant. I grew up in Albuquerque, and my wife grew up in Santa Fe, so we know all of the hot spots and tourist restaurants in town. This place is on par with the best of them. If you are looking for great NM food in Santa Fe but don't want to deal with tourists or tourist prices, this place should be first on your list. After 3 years of searching hard for a restaurant with tacos that can rival mine (Philomena's recipe - IYKYK), we finally found it! We also loved the chile rellenos, the enchiladas, and the sopapillas. Both the green and the red chile are great, but the red in particular is outstanding! Our new favorite casual restaurant in Santa Fe. read more

This is one happy space. Wonderful menus. Friendly staff. Helpful. Prompt service. Excellent local draft beer on top. The best ever Black Bean Soup which menu claims is mild. It is not mild. Green chili stew so so. Meat generous but not tender and the broth cannot compare to the black bean soup. Fantastic margaritas. Southwest chicken salad generous and filling. Will return!! read more

The food and the drinks are always fantastic! Got the new st Patrick's day drink called Lucky Swirl, and it was amazing! Really cute and strong with little lucky charms marshmallows on top. Highly recommend this spot for locals and tourists alike, it's one of my go to's for years! read more
