Tia Sophia's is a cute little spot in Santa Fe with a relaxed, welcoming vibe. Our older gentleman waiter was absolutely wonderful--funny, kind, and made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. We had a little family mishap that made things a bit tense, but he lightened the mood with humor and genuine warmth. We really appreciated his kindness. The food was good overall. Green chilly stew and Santa Fe plate were delicious. The highlight was definitely the fried bread with honey and cinnamon--it was absolutely incredible and comes as complimentary. A great place to slow down, enjoy lunch, and experience some Santa Fe hospitality. We'd happily recommend it! read more

Tia Sophia's - Delicious Santa Fe Plate - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

We asked locals and visitors, the best place for breakfast and Tia Sophia's was the answer. While we were looking at the menu, we were seeing burrito's the size of our heads, coming out of the kitchen. We asked the waitress if handhelds were smaller and she said "oh, yes!". 4 of us ordered handhelds with various types of meat and one vegetarian. They arrived about the size of half a head. Still huge. Burrito's not folded on the ends. Loaded with meat, eggs, potatoes and cheese. They were so very good! I ended up opening mine up to eat the inside because it was really, really filling. Well done Tia Sophia's! read more

Super yummy breakfast burrito at Tia Sophia's! It was a harmony of fresh eggs, soft hash browns, and plentiful bologna (yes, go for bologna, it's unique to this spot!), topped with cheese and lots of green chili sauce. The green sauce wasn't too spicy, but it was full of flavor. I'd recommend asking for the bologna to be crisped up, though, the flavor was great but it needed more texture. We also ordered the blue corn piñon pancakes full stack of 3. They were unique, worth a try but probably a one-and-done dish personally. More earthy and hearty texture than regular pancakes, savory flavor with a blue hue, and the piñons gave it a fun crunch. The maple syrup however was not a good quality, too sugary vs maple, which affected the overall dish's taste. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is decent, and the service was friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Waited about 5 min for a table at 10:00am Friday. Overall I'd recommend Tia Sophia's, their breakfast burrito was excellent so definitely order it! read more

Heard this place was the best spot for breakfast in Santa Fe so we had to check it out! We were seated quickly and ordered quickly I got the Friday special calabacitas. It was delicious! I got Christmas for the sauces, the mix of green and red for those who don't know. The beans were super flavorful and the hashbrowns were perfectly crispy. Prices are great and service was great, I highly recommend this spot to anyone in Sante Fe or who is visiting read more

Quick service, unfussy food, huge portions in a casual diner setting. The people are pleasant and the service pleasantly perfunctory. I had the vegetarian breakfast burrito with red and green chile (the option known as "Christmas"). The chiles were pleasantly spicy (I love hot food). I plan on returning. read more

Tia Sophia's is the go to place for some yummy breakfast. I had the breakfast enchiladas corn tortillas wrapped in eggs and bacon with Christmas red and green chili sauce. It was delicious! I'm glad I got to try out this meal. My dad ordered a ham and cheese omelette and husband ordered the blue corn piñon pancakes and pozole. We all had a great time enjoying our meals and trying out some great Santa Fe dishes here. The service was outstanding and atmosphere was wonderful. read more

Definitely my type of breakfast! Quick service, unfussy food, big portions, and flavorful! Breakfast burrito seemed to be the way to go, and Christmas Style gives you the bets of both worlds: half green and half red chile. Not fancy, but can't really recommend enough for a classic breakfast. read more

This is a Santa Fe classic! We eat here every time we come to visit and it never disappoints. The red chile is one of my favorites and I love the traditional New Mexican style flat enchiladas. There's usually always a wait, but they seat you quickly and the service is great! My favorite part is the sopapillas with honey. Delicious! Will continue to come back on our next trips! read more

Came for lunch, stayed for the fried sopapilla! I love that they serve it with your meal so you're not too full to enjoy it at the end. Drizzle it with honey and thank me later! Unfortunately, I can't handle spicy food, and in New Mexico, everything comes with red or green chile. Still, I really enjoyed my Santa Fe plate, which included a blue corn enchilada and a taco, while my husband ordered the Frito pie. We ordered all our dishes with the chili sauces on the side. We arrived about an hour before closing, and they had already run out of tomatoes for our dishes, so it felt like something was missing, but everything still tasted great. We also shared a side tamale just to try one, and it was delicious. I wish we'd come earlier to try the breakfast menu that served only until 11 a.m., but lunch was satisfying. We waited about 25 minutes for a table for two on a Saturday and it was definitely worth it! read more

We dropped by here for breakfast. They were busy but very efficient. Got a number and waited briefly. We're seated in about 5-10 min. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place got the old cozy feel to it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Kids had some options around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They didn't have potatoes (only hashbrowns). So my older one got dry cereal (they only had corn flakes) with milk. Younger one got the pancakes. I had the breakfast burrito with Christmas sauce no cheese. My burrito was good. Hash brown inside and my sauces were nice. Had some coffee. It was decent. Kids enjoyed their breakfast. Waiter was very friendly and efficient throughout. We enjoyed our time here. Wish they could offer more egg white options, and side potatoes. read more

Unfortunately, my visits to Santa Fe have been 10 years apart. My first meal at Tia Sophia's was in 1979 and I don't miss a visit anytime I'm in town. Last week, Gayle and I were here for Lunch, vs. breakfast back in 2016. We dived into our delicious New Mexican dishes including Christmas (Red and Green Chile) and of course the Sopapilla with honey. We ate well and we walked around afterward for quite awhile to let our happy gluttony settle. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great service, welcome ambiance, and a great value for the money.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Same As It Ever Was. read more

Old school downtown dive. The food is good and the sopapillas are fantastic. A place everyone must try.

I've tried New Mexican food enough times to know I prefer traditional Mexican food. I got the Friday special chicken enchiladas with blue corn tortillas. The portion and price point was fine, but the chicken in the enchiladas desperately needed some seasoning. The rice was barely there and I'd prefer refried beans over pinto beans. On the other hand, I did enjoy the free sopapila with honey and cinnamon-sugar at the table. Service was good and food was delivered fast. read more

Tia Sophia's - Chicken Enchiladas Friday Lunch Special - New Mexican Cuisine Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Loved this restaurant. I had the chili rellenos and my husband had the enchilada and chili relleno. The food was amazing. Service was spot on. Wish this restaurant was in our backyard because we live in AZ. Thank you for a great experience Tia Sophia. read more

I big question mark walking in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Definitely a little beat up compared to other places downtown, but that is only because of the huge traffic that passes through the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The specials looked great as did the huevos rancheros, but the overwhelming recommendation was the breakfast burrito Christmas style - it was definitely the right call. I also tried a blue corn pancake, amazing! I could have order more. It was crowded, but they still got us seated quickly, and the server was super friendly and helpful. read more

Went for lunch on a Saturday and got the chicken enchilada plate. Very disappointed the mexican rice tasted like it came from a box as well as the beans. The chicken within the enchilada tasted like can chicken with no flavoring. Food was cold and tasteless. Would not recommend anyone coming here if they want good mexican food. read more

Had on Ok breakfast at Tia Sophias this past weekend. I thought the food was quite good and worth trying again; I enjoyed the green chile in particular. The place was full with a medium wait time, testimony to its popularity. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is nice, hasn't been updated in a while- nothing fancy or trendy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was a bit touch-&-go IMHO. It was friendly enough, but it might have been an off day. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the buzz and ambience in this restaurant! Feels like I'm eating at someone's house but it is actually a business. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's homely[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Didn't have to wait to be seated as it's spacious and lots of seating available. Food came quickly. I ordered the ham, cheese guac and sausage omelette with Christmas sauce. My husband had the Christmas burrito, it's giant! Both were delicious! Must come if you're here to visit and have only 1 meal in town read more

Loved it so much! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We came for breakfast on Labor Day and you can see that it's a hot spot in town.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our friend, who recommended the spot, arrived early and grabbed us a table (around 8am), but by the time we left around 9am, there was a big crowd waiting outside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is a decent size, with more space in the back than you'd expect, and it has a classic breakfast place vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the bacon breakfast burrito with Christmas style sauce, and it was sooooo good! Definitely a fork and knife burrito since both ends are open/ The flavors of the chili together were spot on, hearty for the green, smoky for the red, and feels like a New Mexico breakfast. The portion was also generous, I definitely didn't finish my food and the glass of orange juice was big! Our waitress was funny and kind and kept things moving smoothly despite how busy it was. Food was quick and I was impressed from the moment we sat down to the moment we left. Really good food and lovely service! read more

We had a delicious lunch here a month or so ago. The restaurant is super cute, staff are friendly, and the food is amazing. We had the chile relleno lunch specials and everything was mouth wateringly tasty. Wish we lived closer so we could eat here more often! read more

Tia Sofias is a delicious spot for breakfast and lunch. We were greeted and seated during the lunch rush and felt welcomed and well taken care of from start to finish. With honey on the table, our server took our order and brought hot sopapillas to start. We're accustomed to having sopapillas for dessert, but here, you can have this rare and delightful treat before your meal, during and after. So we did! Wow! Sopapillas are served piping hot, crispy crust, pillowy soft inside, thick enough to support a generous pour of honey. We decided that it was OK to get sticky and enjoyed every bite! We love the NM decor and the gallery of famous cartoonist Ricardo Caté is a great tribute to his work and funny! Hubby chowed down on his enchiladas, loved the green hatch Chile sauce, beans and moist, flavorful, rice. My Chile rellenos were SO good! I love the thick fluffy batter, rich hatch Chile sauce. Not sure if they were poblanos or Pasillas, but nice and spicy! We devoured the last half of our sopapillas drenched in honey for the crowning glory to our great meal! read more

A friend and I decided we must go a little out of our way to try this because of that Reply All episode (iykyk). The line/wait was long for lunch (it made us all the more excited tbh), but for a party of 2 it was only exactly 20 min (which was a crazy short wait, just enough to peek into the cathedral nearby) compared to some of our fellow comrades-in-waiting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were seated in a cute private feeling booth along the wall and we're presented the vast menu (and there are vegetarian options!)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We got 3 dishes for two people which was a mistake, we should've stuck with 2 for 2, because maaan the portion sizes were ridiculous (in the best way). Recommend green chili based dishes, you won't miss the usual carb base. Food came out quickly and was demolished rapidly. read more

If there were more than 5 stars I'd go for it. We've been to Santa Fe twice and we can't miss a breakfast at Tia Sophia's. Last time we dined I had pork stew (pozole) with 2 beautifully cooked eggs over light on top. This time I had the cheese enchiladas with 2 perfectly cooked eggs on top again. They offer red, green or Christmas sauce on top. The red is not as spicy so I went for red. It had a pleasant amount of heat and the sauce was deep, rich and flavorful. I tasted the green from my husband's plate, it's ok, he loves me! And it was also delicious I could have handled it. It was chunkier with small pieces of pepper bopping around. Delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is small and warmly lit with skylight running the length of the dining room. It's charming and packed with locals on a Tuesday morning non peak season.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere, staff and breakfast just feels like a warm hug!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There was excitement in the air this morning, a NYT food reviewer stopped in for breakfast shortly before us.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So we stopped and had a chat with second generation owner, Nick who was working breakfast along with his staff. We learned that Tia Sophia's just added a second location in Roswell. Good thing it's on our way home, we'll be stopping in! Thanks Nick and the whole team for a great breakfast and the warm hug! read more

Carl makes Tia Sophia's so iconic. We love Carl and all his recommendations, stories, etc. I'm so glad we came here. The food is awesome and I highly recommend the stew!! I forget the name of it but it is so good. We also had their homemade sopapillias, enchiladas, stuffed sopapillias etc. Dined here twice specifically for their lunch menu. The Christmas is the way to go, the green is nice but omg that red salsa is iconic. Old school super casual establishment. No need to get super dressed up or anything. Very friendly staff cute old school interior. read more

Staying downtown in Santa Fe? Need a breakfast spot? Look no further than Tia Sophia's. Not only is it an absolutely charming little place, it's also fast, delicious, and right in the heart of the artsy-fartsy district! We popped in on a Tuesday morning and were seated without delay. The place was almost at capacity, but because they crank that food out so quickly, my guess is that tables are routinely turning over. We ordered two breakfast burritos and a stack of pancakes for the kiddo. I feel like the food came out two minutes later. Seriously. It was that quick! We wolfed it down and were on our way in less than 30 minutes. Place is a winner! read more

The service was spectacular for a family of five adults and three children. The waiter (sorry I didn't get his name) was attentive and very welcoming to the kids. He took our order promptly and delivered them quickly too. He even let us taste the difference between a green chili bowl and the green chili stew. The food was fine. For the natives New Mexicans among us, it was not at good as we make at home. But convenient and tasty. read more

This place is obviously a staple of the Plaza area. They coined the phrase "Christmas" for red & green chile sauces, which you'll now hear all over town. It's casual and comfortable, decorated with colorful sombreros, dresses, weavings, and coloring sheets done by children. We came for breakfast and I had to get something with a Santa Fe twist. Good idea! Blue corn pinon pancakes were delicious! Hearty and the little nubbins of the pinon nuts added a bit of bite. Staff were busy but friendly. Definitely a place that locals come as well as visitors. read more

Good place for breakfast. We first tried on Labor day Sunday but the line was around the block. Not too busy on a Tuesday. Nice server. Very good coffee. I had eggs and toast with hash browns, bacon and beans. The wife got the same but with fried baloney. She loved it, go figure. The friends had pancakes with blue corn meal. Sorry no pics. read more

Walked into this restaurant minutes before 1pm without realizing they were closing. We were told by the waitress immediately after sitting down that she had to take our order because the kitchen was closing so we had about two seconds to review the menu. When we expressed that we didn't realize they were closing they kept telling us it wasn't a problem and we could sit and eat for as long as we wanted. I ordered a breakfast burrito with sausage that came out immediately. I was disappointed to see it had whole patties of sausage in it making it a little awkward to eat. After taking three bites of our food a busser rolled a cart right next to our table and started clearing cups and dishes from the surrounding tables. Not exactly a relaxing atmosphere -quite the opposite actually-it made us feel even more rushed than we did when ordering. We were still eating when the waitress dropped the check on our table. Overall the food was okay but we wouldn't have even sat down had we known they were closing and we'd be rushed. Wish the host said something when we walked in. Wouldn't bother going back with all the other options in the area. read more

Nice breakfast choices. I had a burrito with egg, not like TexMex breakfast taco. They serve in a cupped plate with lots of sauce and soupy beans. Red sauce too hot for me, green sauce to mild, they happily will get you some of each. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Busy place with limited bathrooms is my only comment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This place is small and gets busy fast so I recommend getting there at a decent time. I ordered the bacon breakfast burrito. It was good. Not the best I've had. But I will say it was very flavorful.

My three-month-old daughter Izzy and I went to Tia Sophia's for breakfast today, and when I stood up to change her, a kind woman named Vanessa showed me to the family bathroom with a changing table. When we came back, I realized she'd quietly canceled our check. It turns out Vanessa and her husband own the restaurant. She told me she remembers these sleep-deprived days well and gave me some encouragement. She even told me to stay as long as I needed while I fed Izzy and offered me a to-go coffee. So, shout-out to Vanessa and Tia Sophia's for having big hearts and fantastic breakfast burritos! read more

We had seen recommendations all over TikTok for breakfast spots in Santa Fe and this one kept popping up the most so we had to try it out. We came at peak time and we had around 4 groups in front us, but still we were seated within 5-8 minutes. Our waiter was quick to take our order and consistently came back to assure we were good on drink refills and to check on us. I had the sausage breakfast burrito with Christmas sauce (half green, half red). The burrito was large and filling and the sauces were delicious - I ended up liking the slightly spicier red sauce to the more flavorful green. The wife went with the Thursday Special. It was a pork plate with a sort of adobo sauce. She too enjoyed her dish and spoke highly of the tenderness of the pork and overall flavor. For a quick and easy breakfast, I'd highly recommend Tia Sophia's. Good service, good food and reasonably priced. KG Recommended. read more
