    I had my first visit to DT's yesterday. I went for the bluegrass music jam and performance, and to try their food. In all my reviews, I automatically add one star for places that feature live music. The staff is friendly and energetic. The setting is rustic and comfortable. DT is the pitmaster and also a guitar master. I appreciate that a smokehouse has a tofu option, which I tried and really enjoyed. Prices are excellent. All in all: a fantastic Sunday afternoon. Great food, great music in a relaxed setting. The music jam session was fun, and the performance that followed was top notch bluegrass.

    They serve proper brisket, trimmed well and smoked for 13 hours. The owner, David Thom, was mentored by legendary Texas BBQ pit master from Black's BBQ in Lockhart, TX. As a native Texan, I try brisket everywhere I go. This joint does not disappoint.

    I respect and support small businesses. The barbecue is top notch. Barbecue sauce was tasty but would have liked a second choice of sauce. The slaw is not the standard but liked the change. The owner does it all! Service is a little slow but we were not in any hurry.

    My cousin and I LOVED this place. Unassuming outside that's really cozy once you come in. And we got to meet Uncle DT himself who was super nice and check in on us but let us enjoy our food (good balance of friendliness haha)! I would definitely get the sandwich again; the meat melted into the soft bread perfectly to create an amazing, rich bite. The other dish was my cousin's who also greatly enjoyed herself here. We also got the cornbread with hatch chilis and ice cream on top which was INCREDIBLE! Wanna come back next time I'm visiting Santa Fe!! Also SO CLOSE to Meow Wolf if you're visiting

    Pretty good BBQ at a reasonable price. I tried the Brisket Sandwich and Potato Salad which both were tasty. Nice little dinning area open to the outside, friendly staff and food comes out fast. I like Steely Dan was being played while I dined in. Will return to try mac n cheese, ribs and brisket.

    Small laid back joint with character.

    We were traveling from Chicago home of some really good barbecue, and this could compete! I loved the ambiance, lots of character, especially the frontman/server! Of course, loved the brisket and tips, but honorable mention to the delicious potato salad and Mac n cheese! Very flavorful. I would definitely recommend to anyone near Santa Fe. I also enjoyed the bluegrass music playing and I see that they have live music sometimes. Super cute place and 5 year old approved.

    We had just left Meow Wolf and were headed back home, when we passed this BBQ joint at 8pm on the dot. It smelled so good as we drove by that we turned around to go back! They were just closing, but were nice enough and willing to fix us 4 bbq brisket sandwiches, coleslaw, and potato chips to take with us as takeout. The brisket was tender, juicy and smoky - perfect. The coleslaw has cumin in it, I believe, which had a different flavor profile than this Dallasite is used to, but it was good. The cornbread was thick and a little crumbly with lots of whole kernel corn and green chiles, and was probably better hot out of the oven, but still had a nice flavor. The brisket was the real star of this meal. Only seating for about 8-10 folks and that includes the 4 bar stools outside against railing. It's basically just a small counter space with a table or two and a piano. It's in an old industrial area, and looks like it might have previously been an automotive shop as it has a roll down garage door.

    All the food was very good reminded me of Texas Bbq. I would recommend trying Uncle DTs.

    Brisket was good nice flavor but cole slaw was fair but not a fan of a mustard bbq sauce on brisket add another sauce to your menu

    Tres Colores lives up to its name... In fact, there were multiple colors throughout the restauran…read more As the sun was setting on our day in Santa Fe, a group of hungry geologists stumbled upon its four humble walls. The service? Impeccable. The ambiance? Delightful. The wait for food? Diminutive. Friends say: "Blessed. The only word I can use to describe my experience. My only negative feelings are that no food will ever taste as good." "I'd eat there again, but their jamaica should be like $3.50." "The mole chicken enchilada will have you patting your head and rubbing your stomach for hours!" "Service so good it knocked my boots off!" "The quesadilla ROCKED!" - Geologist Overall, a pleasant experience. We are so thankful for this establishment. Viva de los Tres Colores!

    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!!!
