    Wow! Everyone needs to try Mexican pops at some point in their life! I didn't know what I was missing till I stumbled upon this gem of a place. So many flavors of pops to choose from. Dip it in chocolate(white,milk or dark) and add a topping of your choice and viola... your scrumptious dessert is ready. We tried the tres leches and cookies & cream pops. Both were yummy. Not too sweet which I prefer. The staff is kind and efficient letting you take your time. The place is clean. Overall a must try ice cream parlor!

    Absolutely insane. I'm pretty sure the ladies behind the counter thought we were crazy, but these concoctions are fan-freaking-tastic. The ladies were so patient and kind with our indecisive selves and helped us in making our decisions. I had an oreo paleta, half dipped in milk chocolate topped with coconut flakes and strawberries and drizzled with white chocolate. The coconut was just the touch I was looking for and everything was extremely fresh and drool worthy. If you haven't eaten dinner, you might not need to after this. They are massive and sooo good.

    Stopped in for a break from the heat and was welcomed immediately. There were so many choices, and all of them looked amazing. We chose the taro dipped in white chocolate with pecans and dulce de leches bars dipped in milk chocolate with pistachios, and they did not disappoint!! Service was great, and the place was comfortable and packed! Easy parking a plus! Great place for a treat with so many options, we will definitely be back

    Nice snack bar if you're in town visiting or passing by.

    VERY DELICIOUS! The young lady was very helpful and had great customer service. The elote was 3 stars out of 5, it was a bit watery and needs more cheese and more cream. The paleta de coco dipped in chocolate, almonds, and graham cracker was so delicious 5 out of 5. The refreshments were perfect for a hot day 5 out 5. Just make sure to check the little chalkboard at the counter when walking in. We missed the special of the day.

    Amazing frozen ice cream bars. Love that you have the option of dipping in chocolate and sprinkling with toppings. The elote in a cup is great too. Wonderful Aqua Frescas to drink. The fruit crema is sinful.

    We were so excited to try the Paleta Bar and were pleased with our experience at the Santa Fe location! They were pretty busy on a weeknight but everyone including customers were friendly and in no rush. It can be a little overwhelming if it's your first time ordering since there are so many options to choose from, but the staff is eager to help out and explain the process and even offer samples of the Paleta bars themselves. The basic gist is that there are cream-based bars and water-based bars. The cream-based bars come with the option to dip in your chocolate and toppings of choice. Both come with a side of fresh fruit, which is indeed really fresh! We ordered one of our paletas with chili salt as a topping and I would recommend only doing a half-dip of chocolate if you choose this topping since it ends up a bit too potent if the salt coats the entire paleta. For sure give them a try!

    This place is so yummy will go back next time we visit. Corner area of shopping mall, quick.

    This place is great! At first I was skeptical, but I am so glad we stopped. It is such a unique dessert. Highly recommend stopping and trying it!

    Absolutely delicious! So many good flavors to pick from and you can taste test to find the one you want. After you pick a base pop you can dip it and add toppings! We also got to try the água fresca and decided to bring home a whole jug of the strawberry basil.

    We came here twice during our stay in Santa Fe. The chocolates are so thoughtful, interesting, and…read moredelicious. You can sample any drinking chocolate, even without getting a flight. We definitely preferred to European style with almond milk, but I think that we would like the more traditional ones if they were made with milk. We also really liked the brownies, though the Aztec brownie + ice cream gave me an intense caffeine overload--my fault! Our first time here we each got an ice cream, both with fudge and whipped cream. As I said, while the Aztec was delicious, it really was too much for me, but I still ate the whole thing! I was surprised by how much I enjoyed my husband's mint chocolate chip--the peppermint flavor was real--it tasted like they soaked the milk with peppermint leaves to make it, and it was so refreshing! We liked the chocolate truffles and bon bons so much that we ended up buying them as gifts. Our favorite flavors were the sage/goat cheese, peanut butter bar, Aztec round, bourbon pecan, and lavender. Finally, the service was outstanding. The servers were so kind, patient, and helpful. Our first trip the server took the time to write each flavor on our box of chocolates so that we would know what was what. The second server listened as we decided which treats were for which friends, and he wrote their names on each box before wrapping them. So very kind!

    This place is so cute. The moment I stepped in, I smell the chocolate scent overfilled in the shop…read more There are a huge selection of chocolates , with unique flavor of green and red chiles that belong to New Mexico. Though the chocolates are quite costly, $4-5 per piece. I also had a mint chocolate ice cream. The mint flavor here is so unique, of fresh mint, which might not fit well with people who likes mint chocolate ice cream. I like it though. The ice cream is soft and smooth. Chocolate pieces are creamy Mango smoothie is refreshing. I recommend checking this unique place out when visiting Santa Fe.

I started with what I thought was going to be a plain Caesar salad, but when it arrived, it was served like a sushi or lettuce wrap. It was very creative and tasty! It made it much more fun to eat than the average salad. It was rich and topped with anchovies, like a true Caesar salad. I then had the peppercorn Elk tenderloin. I asked it be served as the chef recommended, which is medium rare. I am sometimes wary of medium rare, but this tenderloin was DIVINE! It was so moist and bursting with flavor. I loved it. The cocktails were creative and just as enjoyable as the meal. Other options for dinner apps include: cornbread, ahi crudo, mussels, and bison carpaccio. Mains: scallops, pan roasted Branzino, toasted masa gnocchi, grilled Maine lobster tails, duck leg confit, and a pecan coffee rubbed prime flat iron. I'm sure all of them would be amazing. Reservations recommended. Please note that the rooftop bar does not take reservations and is not on the same system as the restaurant. Can't recommend this restaurant enough.

The inside is dirty and uninviting but I was needing a place right away so I committed. The carrot cake looked really good so I asked the girl for a piece. She was very odd. She started at me as if she couldn't believe someone asked for the carrot cake. She said something I couldn't understand. My friend jumped in to help but she just looked at him too. So odd. Eventually she handed me a styrofoam container with carrot cake in it. I also ordered a small Americano. The Americano was good and the carrot cake was good, but it was a small piece and not worth $13! I asked for the Wi-Fi password, but the other girl working in the counter also kind of stared at me and shrugged her shoulders. I asked again she said "I don't know it" I tried to ask the other girl and she said"we don't know it because no one's ever asked for it before". I said, "but you're a coffee shop and the Wi-Fi is there for guests. We just need the password." And she shrugged her shoulders and walked away. I had to do my Zoom call on my phone walking down the sidewalk because I wasn't staying there.

    Slipped inside because I couldn't feel my fingers. Ordered the honeybee (espresso with honey,…read morelavender, and steamed milk) and the very last pastry in the case--a blue corn lavender doughnut. The latte didn't do anything for me...it was overly sweet without really tasting of honey or lavender, and was too thick or something. The doughnut, however, was a different story. The blue cornmeal gave it a really nice texture--a bit crunchy, and the icing had actual lavender, not just flavoring. Best $2 I've spent today! They also have Hagen Daaz, for those who are into eating ice cream when it's 33° outside.

    I'm really surprised by the reviews that rated this place poorly. But reading their complaints, I…read morethink it's a them problem, not a Zacatlan problem. Service was impeccable. Welcoming, warm, attentive. I was given the choice of sitting in the main dining room or on the covered porch (fully covered) and I chose the porch. They opened the window for me so there would be a light breeze. Anyone who complains about this beautiful, light-filled porch, again, it's a them problem, not a Zacatlan problem. Menu items for breakfast/brunch include: buttermilk pancakes, Atlantic salmon, Mary Tierra Benedicts (crab meat, Canadian bacon, bennies, and more), burritos, omelets, chicken and waffles, avocado toast. At the servers recommendation, I had the sopecitos, which are corn cakes served with chicken Tinga (chicken, obvi), cochinita pibil (pork), rajas (roasted poblano strips) with lettuce, crema, and queso fresco. It was savory and authentic. Very rich and well seasoned. The veggies served along with it were also great. Their margaritas are on point. Options for dinner: bone marrow, various salads, achiote prawns, branzino fish al pastor, lamb shank barbabcoa, vegetarian Chile relleno, fried snapper, pork shank, 16 hour braised short ribs, and more.
