Restaurants near El Rito Historical Marker

The reputation of this restaurant is well justified. The food choices are creative and well prepared. The cholula was excellent as was the sea bass with mole. However, the most notable thing about Sazon after the food is the staff. They are trained in the continental style. Totally attentive, coordinated service and very supportive of each other. Highly recommend Sazon for anyone visiting Santa Fe. I’m sure locals don’t need a review to decide to patronize this restaurant.

This was an excellent if unusual choice to celebrate Valentines Day. We are glad we made the decision. Every dish was excellent and the presentation beautiful. We ate inside in the main dining room which added a bit of "Drama" to the meal. The only thing that could have been better was the heat in the room. I was chilly but they provided a blanket for my wife which worked well. We will certainly be back!!

My girlfriend and I went out for Valentine’s Day yesterday, and it was absolutely wonderful. I’ve never felt compelled to write a restaurant review before, but this experience was so exceptional that I had to. As two young professionals, we rarely get the chance to escape for a nice dinner, and this one was worth every moment. The service was outstanding—attentive yet unobtrusive—and ordering was seamless. The staff was warm and welcoming, making the evening even more enjoyable. The ambiance was perfect, with a lively yet comfortable atmosphere. We even struck up a conversation with the couple next to us, and the background music was at just the right volume—audible enough to hum along but never overpowering. For dinner, we started with oysters. I had the filet mignon and lobster, while my girlfriend had the branzino. Every dish was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. For dessert, I had the tiramisu, and she had the profiteroles—both were incredible. A heartfelt thank you to the staff for making it a Valentine’s Day to remember!

Always exceptional. This has to be the best restaurant in Santa Fe! We always enjoy eating here. Staff is very attentive and helpful. It is a real experience. I normally have the Elk and it is always delicious.

My wife and I ordered the trout and filet mignon. The trout was very good, ample serving, cooked perfectly, and the bed of wild rice was excellent. The filet mignon was one of the best we ever had. Cooked medium, nice and pink. So tender you could almost cut it with your fork. Also ordered the beet salad and it was excellent, plenty of walnuts, cranberries, yellow beets and pumpkin seeds on a bed of fresh greens. Great restaurant, can’t wait to go back. It was a little pricey but considering the service and great food we look forward to next time.
