Unfortunately I was highly disappointed by food and service. I ordered fish and shrimp taco. The food wasn't bad but it's didn't come with a side of salsa or any sort of sauce. It did comes with a side of rice which I felt was under seasoned. The service was slow. I walked in around 1pm and door was locked. I was surprised to find them close even though online says that they are open at 11am that day. I checked on google and it was suppose to be open. I called and they said that they are open but waiting for alcohol to be delivered at 3pm. Did they assume that every customer coming in is ordering alcohol? As far as I understand this is a restaurant that serves food and alcohol and not a bar. Shortly after my arrival, there was a large tour with 12 people showed up. I could see that the waiter was a bit flustered because he also had to tend to other customer as well as the tour. I guess this is where the tour take people for authentic taco experience. In my opinion these are more toned down gringo tacos. My taco didn't come with a side of sauce like everyone else. I also noticed that the tour all received a side of salsa which I didn't. I'm not sure if the waiter forgot. I had to flag down the waiter a few time because he also forgot my drink. I also ordered an agua Fresca watermelon and it wasn't made of real watermelon but flavor syrup from the bar. I wished I had known that it wasn't real melon. 2.5 stars for the food and 2 for service. Again food wasn't terrible, but certainly wasn't close to be the best.

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!!!

I also used Open Table had no idea how crowded the Plaza area might be going into the weekend. La Fogata was nice, well decorated, and comfortable. We all enjoyed the ambiance and service, although Bob and Laurie's food restrictions prevented a full appreciation of the cuisine. However, their choices of Carne Asada and a plain burrito suited them just fine. Gayle and I carried on with her choice of Camarones a la Plancha and Mole Enchiladas for me. The adult beverages consisted of a glass of Chardonnay (Gayle) and Margarites for the rest of us. Pricing was good, service was attentive, and it was a very good start to the weekend.

I can't remember the name of our server but he was super attentive & checked up on a us regularly. We all got a cocktail which were delicious and decided to share an order of their nachos. We subbed chicken for our nachos and it came with an extra plate of chopped chicken on the side! Definitely a solid amount of food for 5 people to share! The red chile on their nachos was SO good!

The pineapple was a wonderful delight. My friend and I started with the queso and the house made chips for delightfully salty. My friend had the hot buttered rum which she said was the best she'd had and tasted like a home made mix, not a premix. Overall we had a great experience at the rooftop cantina!
