We went based on reviews, but must say were disappointed. It was comparable to 'cheap and cheerful cafe' food, without the cheap, or the cheerful (the service was slow - one waiter for full house!). The salads were tasteless and bland....not much here to boast about, really. more

We've eaten at La Boca four or five times and each time was worse than the previous time. It is in a very small, crowded space. The food is interesting and sometimes quite good, but not always. It is ridiculous to call this the second best restaurant in Santa Fe. If you decide to eat here, be sure you have... more

This was the most awful Tapas place I have ever had! The atmosphere was lame, uncomfortable, overpriced and bland. Lame and bland also describe the food. Note to Chef....latin food should have flavor. I am from Las Vegas Nevada and I am used to good Tapas. The La Boca Chef and Owner should travel to Las Vegas NV and try... more

Small restaurant with great food and service. Very busy so make a reservation. The wine choices were limited. The "cheaper" wines around $35.00 were basic supermarket quality. This is to bad, you should not have to spend $50.00+ on a bottle of wine to get a decent wine. The food was however excellent. more

I recently treated myself to a solo lunch at La Boca, and was seated immediately (around 1:45 on a weekday). The hostess graciously moved me to another table when I was uncomfortable at the one where I was initially seated. I'm not a vegetarian, but it just so happened that everything I ate that day was suitable for ovo-lacto vegetarians,... more

We went for late afternoon tapas and were not disappointed. Extraordinary food, an interesting and reasonably priced wine list, and very attentive and enthusiastic service. When I asked about sherries, of which I know little, our waiter eagerly gave us with his compliments several samples of different sherries. This place tries to please and does. more

The tapas at La Boca is the best I have ever eaten. We were fortunate to be able to order a special tapas of locally grown, grilled, tiny green peppers. They were exceptional. The place is small and unique. I hope it stays that way! more

We love visiting Santa Fe--in both the Summer and Winter--and without a doubt, dining at La Boca was one of the best experiences we had on this particular visit. The food was exceptional and the service was at the appropriate level. As noted in many other reviews, it's not a large place--which makes it that much more fun because all... more

As noted by several others on this Web site, I wanted to check La Boca out because of the reviews it was given. We (My husband and I) made reservations, always a good idea, and had dinner around 6:30pm on a weekday. It was quiet, as expected, and the service was wonderful. We were sat close to another couple, and... more
