    Main dining room

    Nothing I like less than waitstaff who doesn't know the menu well. I am extremely accustomed to East Coast hospitality , it's different here but the service was efficient just not particularly chatty or informative about the menu. Central location in downtown Santa Fe with very reasonable prices. I ordered the green chile pesto chicken sandwich, nothing particularly different about it .. the chicken was a little dry. Nice ambiance though and great location.

    I came here to drink some margaritas, not to eat. We sat at the bar, ordered and enjoyed our drinks. The crowd was slim, there was a party at a table, a couple sitting next to us staying at the hotel, two men at the other end of the bar. The margaritas were good, I ordered a more crafty one while my GF ordered a house one. The basic one was better than mine and that kinda ticked me off. How can this be? Anyway, the ambiance was OK, we asked for to-go cups but that was not allowed. OK. Bye.

    One of the two glasses of the house margarita we split. We also had another glass worth in the shaker!

    We had a great experience at Del Charro! The stuffed sopapillas were my favorite of the trip. The house Margaritas was the best value for drinks I had the whole trip! I split one with my wife and they gave us the shaker. I wanted to go back multiple times for the margaritas and suggested it every night! Too bad there were too many other places people wanted to try.

    We wanted a green chili cheeseburger and were sent here by another bartender. The drinks are huge and strong. I liked the prickly pear one. We both had a green chili cheeseburger burger. The meat was fabulous. Perfectly cooked, Smokey, juicy, fatty. Everything I want in a burger. The green chilis could have been hotter for my taste but they were flavorful and there were lots. I'd definitely go back for the value and flavor. Worth hitting up for a cocktail. Great location. Clearly a locals favorite.

    Went in for lunch on a Saturday, it wasn't too crowded and there was no wait to sit. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. I ordered the stuffed Sopaipillas, which were very tasty, my husband ordered the carne asada tacos which also were very good. Warm friendly atmosphere. Highly recommend

    One of the few places I found open at 8-9PM. I got the stuffed green chile cheeseburger. The burger itself was very good, but that green chile relish was amazing! I was also raving about the fries. There's a certain type of fry I like, and that was it. If I could get a plate of fries with 2 ramekins of that green chile relish to use as dip, I 100% would.

    Del Charro is the restaurant connected to Inn of the Govenors, the hotel we stayed at while vacationing in Santa Fe. I wanted to love it, but really I loved the atmosphere, liked the margaritas, and didn't much care for the food. I went to Del Charro for drinks twice, dinner and drinks once, and breakfast three times, as they serve the free breakfast to hotel guests in the dining room each morning. We went to Del Charro for margaritas as soon as we arrived in Santa Fe, as we waited for our hotel room to be ready. My friend ordered the house margarita and I had the prickly pear. Both were good, and not too sweet. The house margarita is large in size, and has a good balance of mixers and tequila. I loved the atmosphere. All of the locals seemed to be drinking there at that time, and we were able to chat with some different people. Breakfasts were made to order for hotel guests, and we were given a choice of about 6 different options. I enjoyed it the day I chose the omelette, but the other days I found it to be greasy. When we had dinner there, I used my Yelp check-in order for free chips, salsa and guac. That caused some trouble as they had no idea what I was talking about. Also, strangely enough, in Santa Fe, restaurants seem to charge for chips and salsa. In the end, we were able to get free chips and salsa, but no guac. I also thought that the chips were broken up and messy on the plate. I'm glad we did not pay for them. My friend and I both ordered the enchiladas, which were served with rice and beans. We ordered the sauce Christmas-style (red and green). What we received were plates of food full of sauce that hid what we were eating. We couldn't really differentiate the enchiladas from the sides. It was sort of messy and the flavors all ran together. I also had one margarita there just as I was waiting for my ride to the airport. Again, the drink was good. They played old school country, which felt very fitting for the atmosphere. It felt relaxed and peaceful in the bar. All in all, I would recommend Del Charro for drinks. The bar is a nice place to sit and chat. I would describe the food as passable.

    Located inside Inn of the Governors, this saloon-themed restaurant offers a spot for both locals, tourists, and those just passing through town (like me!). We were at an event at Meow Wolf, and since it was late, we found out on Yelp that Del Charro's kitchen is open late (they're open until midnight, though I'm not sure exactly when the kitchen closes). We sat in the dining room (complete with a fireplace), but there's also bar seating in the saloon area. Food ranges from caesar salad and nachos to chicken enchies and burgers. My colleague went for the stuffed green chile cheeseburger (it was huge!) and I ordered the chicken nachos (also yuuge). Service was verrry slow, and no one really checked in during our meal... I had to close out my tab with another server on our way out. :/

Not because of the atmosphere. Not because of the location. Because of Katya. Katya is not my favorite bartender. She is my favorite human being. I've spent enough time in bars to know when someone is good at their job. Katya operates on an entirely different level. She can take what feels like sixteen orders at once, remember every single one, deliver them with absolute precision, keep the entire room moving, somehow do the math in her head, and still make every customer feel like they're the only person sitting at the bar. The basement bar itself is exactly what a great dive should be; a shithole. Heavy hobo stab vibes upon entry, including Katya. Smell: multiple buttholes farting at once. Climate control: sweaty patron dependent. Lighting: liability. TV: playing a rotation of trash 80s DVDs . If business schools were smart, they'd study her. If hospitality groups were smart, they'd clone her. If Santa Fe has any sense at all, they'll do whatever it takes to keep her exactly where she is. Cash only, so come prepared. And bring plenty of it, because she deserves every penny. Katya must be protected at all costs.

The massive mirror behind the bar makes you feel like you've stepped into a classic Western movie, adding to the unique charm of the space. Their signature Sage Margarita is a must-try.

The cocktail itself was delicious and unlike anything I've had before. My personal favorite, however, was the Mezcal Paloma. Our bartender, TJ, crafted it to perfection. Watching him work was like watching a magician at his craft, every drink was made with skill, attention to detail, and genuine passion.

Place signs around outdoor seating area notifying guests to place drink orders at the bar. 2. Designate at least one person to take orders at tables indoors. This should be easy to track based on who has menus and who doesn't. 3. Set up an online ordering system and place QR codes on tables for easy ordering. Give option to place orders at right or left side of bar. My aunt, mother and I were ignored multiple times by multiple staff after we asked at bar if we should order there and were told to take a seat and someone would be with us shortly. Two other tables that came in after us were served. I then had to go up to the bar to ask to pay as no one came by again even after all our drinks were empty for at least 10 minutes. Again multiple staff walked by us multiple times. Hard not to read into the reasons we were ignored specifically when several groups were being tended to.
