great atmosphere. amazing food. better have your reservations well in advance. We were able to slide into a couple seats at the bar to eat. Joe the bartender is fantastic. Margaritas are excellent. How recommended the Enchiladas with red sauce. they've been making them the same way for 73 years. Well worth it read more

Local gem and must try! They take reservations and walk ins. We walked in on a weekday and there was no wait for outside but it was pretty windy so the host was nice enough to figure out an indoor accommodation for us! The interior is crazy, so many small rooms and different floors and each room has different coloring and decor. So unique. Felt like everywhere we walked you wouldn't know what to expect next and it was shockingly huge inside! We ordered a round of their house margarita which was delicious, a little on the tasted like mix instead of fresh side, but still good. I had the classic posole soup and tamales. The posole had a kick to it and I handle spice well so keep that in mind! That said it was delicious, very classic Southwest flavor. Tamales were also yummy. If you're looking for the classic Santa Fe food experience I'd say this is the place to go! And you truly can't beat the cost, for a table of four we were shocked at how low the cost was. Will be back! read more

All around fantastic experience! We were here for lunch and waited for a courtyard table, which provided a beautiful surrounding. I had the enchilada platter (Christmas style, of course) and they were full of flavor and incredibly awesome! Service was good. read more

What an amazing place to visit when in Santa Fe at the Plaza! Always busy for dinner weekdays and weekends so make reservations or go early to get on the waiting list or you can wait 1.5 hrs. You can also sit at the bar counter and get food but seating is limited. Bar tables are drinks and bread/chips only. We got the locally brewed beer, garlic bread (non greasy) and shrimp skewer appetizer, then shared the blue corn tacos plate with one turkey sausage and one baked chicken and both red and green sauces. The flavors were amazing, quantities huge. I give it a 10/10. I also saw folks ordering the chicken enchiladas which looked good. The bartender was super communicative and helped us with drinks and menu suggestions. read more

Santa Fe Staple... Love the vibes of this place, and the food is consistent. I got the #10, which is a beef taco and a cheese enchilada. I got the enchilada Christmas style, which means half red half green sauce. Flavors were good, but the taco ended up being like another enchilada since it fell apart. Posole included is great, but not the biggest fan of their beans. Service was great today. Hostess has been the only problem the last few times I've come. Will be back. read more

Cute place. Definitely allow for waiting times. We went at noon on a Monday and there was a line to put our names in. 20 min wait and stores nearby so not bad of a wait. Food was good. Not great so not sure why the hype. Queso was good. Frito Pie was good. The red chiles are not spicy at all fyi. They are known for their chicken enchiladas with red chiles. They were good. Service was good and great location. read more

It's lunchtime & we're hungry. Someplace new is the goal and here we are. There was a line - quoted 30, seated @ 20 mins. They have both outdoor & indoor seating, we are on the patio. When a few drops of rain fell, up went the umbrellas. Almost all outside tables were covered. Menu selections were not the standard fare. Hmm never had a baked taco before. Started with the trio appetizer. Chips, salsa, guac & queso. Queso's consistence was good, a long way from the runny stuff we've had at some places. Enchilada - Taco plate for me. Enchilada flavorful, taco w/turkey green chili meat baked with melted cheese on top also had good flavor. I was expecting the meat to be a little dry, it wasn't. The green chili added to the flavor. The lunch came with posole. It was served on the plate instead of a bowl. The Mrs opted for the Adovado plate. The pork was tender with good flavor and not overly spicy. She also reported the enchilada was flavorful. Both meals come served with garlic toast it was hot and had really good flavor. Our server stayed on top of our needs. Excellent meal - tho still on the fence about the baked taco. read more

Nice lunch yesterday at The Shed! For starters we got chips with salsa and queso! The queso blew me away! Probably the best I've had! I also had a refreshing Pilsner beer and my husband had a lime Ricky mocktail. The kale salad was pretty good! Nice and simple. My husband got the spinach and cheese enchiladas which were quite spicy! Server took good care of us, although it seemed chaotic at times. We always end up eating here when visiting. The food and ambience are nice, but I really don't get the crazy hype? read more

We had a decent evening at the Shed. We dropped by around 5pm and put our names on the waiting list and as they had estimated, we got a call at 7.15pm letting us know a table was available. Our server was friendly and efficient, we sat outside and the atmosphere was comfortable. I had the grilled prawns and they were better than I expected, very flavorful, I would definitely order them again. We also had some chips and guac, they were fine. The chicken quesadilla and the enchilada's were also ok. We tried the "smoky and elegant" cocktail and it knocked our socks off - VERY boozy!!! All in all the meal was ok, with the shrimp being the only standout dish. read more

Lunch Monday at The Shed. We have tried on past visits to Santa Fe to eat at the shed, but always passed due to the long lines and wait times. My brother-in-law said suck it up, get in line. The wait will be worth it. So we did, and the line, that was through the courtyard and down the side walk moved rather quickly. Probably about 30 minutes. The venue is historic and rustic. It's close to the histroic plazza. It's a lively happening place with a high energy vibe. The bar area is not overly large and the restrauant layout is a bit of a maze, but it is charming. We started with a cup of pozole that we shared. It was good but indistinguishable from all the other pozole that I have had. I ordered two blue corn cheese enchiladas topped with red chili sauce. They were very good. They would have been excellent except the ends of the tortias were dried out. Once beyond the dried ends they were very favorable and enjoyable. They were served with garlic bread, which I thought was a bit odd. I'd like to know the story on how garlic bread made its way to the menu? Jan ordered huevos Ranchero. She was a happy camper, said it was excellent. The service was good. The noise is on the high side. The restrauant was slammed, contributing to the high noise. The prices are moderate. On the down side, and a flip of the script, there was a line for the men's room, but not for the women's. Don't know what's in the ladies room, but the men's is a one at a time. All in all, the shed is very good and worth the wait. read more

The Shed absolutely delivered. I went with the tamale plate with chile on the side, and it was exactly what you want when you're in Santa Fe--simple, authentic, and packed with flavor. The tamales were spot on--perfectly steamed with a great texture and a rich, savory filling. You can tell they know what they're doing. Getting the chile on the side was the right move too--it let me control the heat and really appreciate the depth of the sauce. Both the red and green brought that classic New Mexico flavor without overpowering the dish. Rice and beans were solid, nothing flashy, just done right. The whole plate felt balanced and satisfying. Atmosphere had that warm, old-school Santa Fe vibe--busy but in a good way. Service was quick and friendly even with a crowd. If you're downtown and want legit New Mexican food, this place is a must. I'd order this exact plate again without thinking twice. read more

The Shed is one of those restaurants that you'll see recommended on every publication, so it does get packed. You'll need to make dinner reservations weeks out but we arrived at opening for lunch and were seated right away after waiting in a short line. The lunch menu is almost the same as the dinner menu so you won't be missing out. The space was cute, service was great and the food was tasty, but a lot of it is the same New Mexican style dishes that you can get at most restaurants. That being said, we did really enjoy the flavors of the food. The Green Chile Stew is an absolute must as a precursor to any main dish and I enjoyed the crusty bread they served alongside it. We also shared a taco plate--one with beef and one with chicken. I loved the blue corn tortillas and the posole they include on every dish. read more

Santa Fe Classic I've been enjoying The Shed for longer than I can remember and keep coming back. The no nonsense menu, the bright walls, the margaritas, and of course the people you meet while waiting for your table or while sitting at the bar. This a more than a restaurant it's an experience. The wait can be hours but I would say worth it for their enchiladas. read more

Had lunch here while visiting Santa Fe- what a cute spot! We ate on the patio with our dogs- there is also indoor seating. The service was friendly, welcoming and efficient. The food was great. We went on the recommendations of our server- not too spicy for my husband! I'd definitely go back- we didn't have a margarita but they looked good. read more

The pictures are about all I could get and I will probably not try eating here again. We were from out of town and called to explain twice to get a table for just two people. Two point five hours wait two day in a row, and couldn't even get a break to eat at this restaurant. Our win, because we discovered Cafe Pasquale in the area that had immaculate food! Win win! read more

My husband and I ate here while passing through New Mexico on our drive from Florida to Arizona. The service was so fast and our waitress was amazing and helpful. I had the country fried steak with chorizo gravy and my husband had the breakfast enchiladas and they were delicious. We also both had the cinnamon pecan coffee which hit the spot. If we ever pass through again, it will be a must stop on our list. read more

The Shed is always busy. I don't get it. The food is OK, but there are many restaurants in Santa Fe that offer better New Mexican cuisine. We met a friend for lunch. My wife and I ordered huevos rancheros. Our friend had chicken enchiladas. All were OK. The best dish was the dessert, the Shed mocha cake, which was excellent. The service was friendly and attentive. read more

Delicious Southwestern style food for reasonable prices. We were glad to find a spot that had great traditional food for my friends as well as vegetarian/vegan options for me, although I found the menu somewhat misleading in terms of veggie options. I asked our server about the green chile enchiladas (which were described as vegetarian on the menu) to see if they could be made vegan. Turns out they are not even vegetarian! I had better luck with the enchilada platter which could be made vegan by holding the cheese. I asked them to put extra beans inside the enchiladas to accompany the spinach, which they did. The whole plate was delicious, including the posole which was provided instead of rice - what a treat. They also have a separate posole soup which is vegan/vegetarian. The posole that comes with the enchiladas is essentially that soup without the broth. I ate really well and would definitely return here given the opportunity, but I do hope they clean up their act in clearly and accurately identifying vegetarian and vegan dishes. read more

One of our favorite eateries in Santa Fe. It is usually a 2-3 hour wait and they don't take reservations by phone. So my husband is a sweetheart and will walk over to get our name on the list around 4:00 and we are eating dinner by 6:15ish. There's a great bar space to enjoy a drink while you wait. The chile sauce has a kick and their menu is solid New Mexican flare. Tommy, the host, was chill in a demanding environment. He handles it well and really works hard to get people in and out. read more

Wow this restaurant deserves 105 stars out of 5. The food is extraordinary and the server we had was very precise and very eloquent pronouncing clearly año not like a machine gun. I ordered Carnes adobadas, the meat was tender and lean but incredibly flavorful, I could move to Santa Fe just to come and eat here every day, too bad we must hit the road tomorrow for Canyon de Chelly I can't wait to comeback next year Joe is funny and does an amazing job, more than a server he is a good PR representative Place looks inviting and we didn't care wether we sat inside or in the garden read more

While you need to be prepared for a long wait, The Shed is a Santa Fe staple with a unique and folkloric feel. When the patio is closed in cooler months, you have to duck to enter into the restaurant and are immediately hit with warmth from the people, the stoves and the chilis! The food is always flavorful and delicious, but I think the gem of The Shed is the margarita menu! The main dishes are always served with garlic bread, which is another reason The Shed stands out. The location of The Shed provides opportunity to walk around the plaza before or after your meal, or while you wait for your table! This is always a go-to for visits to Santa Fe. read more

The Shed is a Santa Fe tradition that everyone must enjoy sooner or later or just be missing out. It's a uniquely laid-out place, quirky and a bit cramped to navigate, but once seated you are treated to really great service, a good selection of New Mexico favorites on the menu, and a fun ambience. Sitting in the courtyard is highly recommended when the weather cooperates, which is most of the year. On a recent visit with a very well-behaved wolf/dog mix our out-of-town friends brought along, we loved the staff's immediate furnishing of a dog water bowl and offering of a side of ground beef for his dining pleasure, all quietly on the courtyard floor, and mostly out of sight of the other diners. Their red chile sauce is quite good, and I'd say the green chile is average for Santa Fe -- in other words, tasty, but not extraordinary. For those who prefer lowlander/Easterner fare, there are burgers and other options, so it's hard to go wrong with a dinner party. Well worth a visit when you're already in town and looking for a hearty meal. read more

The Shed is so hard to get into and always busy. So we figured it would be great. What a disappointment all around for our party of 3. This was by far, the worst meal and service we have had in Santa Fe. The staff is pompous, the service bad, and the food mediocre at best. The chicken was overcooked, tasteless, tough, and seemed like it had been sitting a week. The waiter made mistake after mistake. The hosts were unfriendly. We got appetizers, drinks, dinner, and dessert. Not one redeeming aspect. The ambiance was nice but otherwise... I'll never waste my time or money here again -  there are excellent restaurants  that CARE and that care about their clientele. Shameful. I'm amazed that there is ever a wait here. read more

Everyone said we had to come. And I think I agree. Kitschy classic New Mexican restaurant. Bigger than it looks. It's a machine in there. Very efficient service. Funky small doorways in an old adobe building. Food was classic New Mexican with blue corn tortillas, enchiladas, green and red chili, chips and salsa. Great food. Good vibes. Good value. What's not to love? read more

We came in around 5 p.m. and put our name down for a table of two. They told us the wait would be 2-2.5 hours, and we would get a text when our table is ready. We walked around to watch the sunset and got a drink at a nearby bar, then got our text at 6:30 p.m., with a 10 minute grace period. It worked out perfectly for us, and I'm so glad I found out about being able to do that so we could plan ahead. We got a seat in an interior dining room next to some bigger tables, which was a little distracting since the neighboring conversations were quite loud. The food was so good and the service was excellent. We loved all the dips we got with the chips and every little detail was delicious for our chicken enchiladas. The meat was very tender and seasoned so well with the sauces. I loved the pork in the pozole that came as my side. My advice is to come early and put your name in before you're hungry, then it'll be perfect timing when your table is ready. I'd definitely come back and recommend this to anyone visiting. read more

Called this place asked closing time and if we need reservations. They said they have a wait of about an hour and theres a list. Place was right around the block from where we were staying and we were getting in late. So knew dining would be issue. Asked if i can put name on list. I got a no problem gave my name and said gps gets me there in just over an hour they explained if name is on list they will serve us even if its near closing. We get there my Aunt goes rushing over there while we unload truck. They say they cant serve because not on list and they are busy and they dont take reservations over the phone. So the 5 minute conversation we had was for nothing. Dont need the attitude dont need someone disrespecting my family. Keep your restaurant everything looked pretty standard on the menu anyway. Also dont like the ambiance of none acknowledgment when you walk up. I get saying goodbye to the last patron but dont take up the whole entrance and and not give a nod or head gesture read more

So many people told us to go to The Shed only for us to find out that our hosts had already planned this option for us. Immediately, I was interested in the building with all the low entryways and how deceivingly big the interior was. To note, there is also a courtyard to sit outside. They are known for their margaritas but I wasn't in the mood opting for a Mexican Old Fashioned, which was really nice. I did get the grilled shrimp for dinner and wish I had more. These were really good. We did have chips leading up to dinner and it was nice trying all the different sauces and guac. read more

"Quaint" would not convey what the atmosphere of this place is like. It's thoroughly Santa Fe with adobe walls, a courtyard, creaky wood floors and beamed ceilings. Did I mention it's right off the plaza so it's also very historic. The service was excellent and the food was exceptional. This is often a hard place to get into but we showed up for lunch right at 11 AM and got right in. I recommend it highly! read more

New Mexican is my favorite cuisine in the world and the Shed really knocked it out of the park on my recent visit. The red chile was perfection, it had so much depth of flavor. The posole was perfectly cooked and so were the beans. The prices here seem to have somehow missed inflation, which was a lovely surprise. This time I actually liked it better than La Choza, which is my usual favorite. The biggest miss here is that they don't serve sopapillas. How can you be a legacy New Mexican restaurant and only serve garlic bread in your bread basked? The service was also horrendous here, but that seems to be the case everywhere these days, so I won't drop them down a star on account of the service. All in all one of my favorite spots in Santa Fe and I will definitely return! read more

I kept hearing mixed things about the shed. Go, don't go, go. I HIGHLY recommend reservations. I showed up at 530 and it was already a 2 hour wait so I waited for a seat at the bar. As someone who doesn't like enchiladas, the chicken enchiladas with green chile and an egg on top was phenomenal. The green chile wasn't spicy but flavorful. I also ordered the guac which was good but not anything super special. The frozen mango margarita was really good. FYSA- there's maybe 8 bar seats (very small bar) they do have some bar tables open but it's only for drinks and chips and dip. You'll order at the bar. read more
