I am so glad I listened to wise folks on the internets and came by this little mom and pop shop…read more Food? Stellar. Almost everything we got was perfection. Friend and I both go the Adovada combo. I loved the adovada chalupa so much I got an adovada burrito to go for breakfast tomorrow! The cheese enchilada w/Christmas sauces was so delicious, as was the rice and posole. The only thing I didn't love was the shredded beef taco. Beef was dry, tough, a little flavorless. Maybe because it was the bed of the night? My friend got the regular ground beef taco and said she liked it. On top of all this, the food came out fast, piping hot, and the older man who works there is so sweet, never saw him stop working and he made sure to check on us a few times. The woman working tonight was good too, very professional and good service, just not sweet and warm/fuzzy like the older gentleman was. Additionally, prices were fair for the amount and quality of food, ZERO wait, easy parking, not at all touristy, just very small-town, old school diner type vibe. I will 100% be back when in Santa Fe and highly recommend!

El Comal is outside of downtown Santa Fe and is an old school Mexican restaurant. We noticed what…read morelooked like locals only and no tourists dining for breakfast. That's a great sign and why we went. My wife ordered the huevos ranchero with the green and red sauce and I ordered the migas with a side of bacon and green chili sauce. We both chose the fresh made to order sopasillas instead of the tortillas. The chili sauces have a great spice kick and flavor. The dinner menu lioked good too. We would definitely come back.

The chili was excellent came with a large side of rice and beans, lettuce, pico sour cream guacamole was absolutely delicious. Same as the salad I replaced the blue cheese with goat cheese and it was excellent. The dressing was so good and the fruit fresh. The margarita, perfect not too sweet not artificial tasting at all. Now, the tamale oh my goodness I've never had such a moist tamale maybe the best tamale I've ever had. The pupusa was delicious and they didn't skimp on the cabbage salad. I expected something different with the beef stew. It was much thinner and Brosier than I expected, but it had an absolutely delicious flavor and plenty of meat. I would definitely come back here and I would definitely recommend this to anybody

Service was efficient although not particularly helpful. There is a printed menu for lunch but…read moreonly a high chalkboard menu for dinner, making it difficult to read. The server also failed to tell us that we could order only off of the one menu that fit the exact time of our visit, which happened to coincide with the time that they switch from offering lunch to the time they serve dinner. The cheeseburger was very tasty. The grilled salmon tacos were good but served with flavorless beans and bland rice. Not a place we'd refuse to visit again, but definitely not one we're eager to return to either.

If in Santa Fe, I must place for lunch. Great food and fabulous staff. In old downtown Santa Fe.read more

If you're in Santa Fe and not ordering the tamale plate at Tres Colores, you're doing it wrong…read more This dish is the definition of New Mexico done right--two perfectly steamed tamales, one smothered in rich red chile and the other in savory green chile. The red has that deep, earthy flavor with just the right kick, while the green brings a brighter, roasted heat that balances everything out. Together? That classic "Christmas style" combo that hits on every level. The masa was soft and flavorful (not dry like you get at some places), and the filling was generous and well-seasoned. The sides sealed the deal--fluffy Spanish rice, hearty beans, and a fresh, crisp salad that cut through the richness perfectly. Portion size was solid, presentation was clean, and everything tasted like it was made with care--not rushed, not watered down for tourists. Service was quick, friendly, and exactly what you want when you're trying to keep a night moving. Authentic, satisfying, and exactly what you hope for when you come to Santa Fe. I'd order this again without hesitation!!!

The Adovada was spicy and tender. We had margaritas with our meal (this location has a liquor license and so they do use tequila), and we thought they were okay (though they were very reasonably priced). The staff were extremely nice, and the restaurant was a great mix of families, older diners, businesspeople, and visitors. We will likely come back.

Great combination of New Mexican food and normal breakfast fare. So many delicious things to choose from. Our waitress recommended the green chile Eggs Benedict or chilaquiles.

The chips were tossed in a combination of the red and green chile, the eggs were cooked perfectly and the beans and potatoes were delicious!!! The French toast was good, pretty standard French toast. Service was fantastic, coffee and water refilled, very friendly waitress. There is also a full bar and counter seating. I sure wish they had one of these in San Diego!
