I have eaten many breakfast burritos in many parts of US-- CA, TX, AZ and this was by far the best one ever. The green chile sauce was amazing!!! We went on an early saturday morning and got seated right away even though the place was really busy. I thought the prices were reasonable--$8 for a burrito with the works.... more

My boyfriend and I have been to Santa Fe twice and have made it a point to eat at Tia Sophia's each time. Both of us order the same thing--he orders the Santa Fe plate (with red and green chile) and I order the huevos rancheros (with green chile). We love this place. No, it's not bright and airy, but... more

Stopped here for breakfast and had a burrito with red and green chile - very average - sausage was like a jimmy dean patty cut in half - there was no homemade personality at all - it was $8 or $9. I was disappointed as the reviews made this sound like a neat find. more

We go here regularly for breakfast or lunch. Favorites are green chile stew, enchiladas, huevos rancheros - always the sopapillas. The few poor reviews puzzle us. (unless they expect a "classy" restaurant. There are at least as many locals as tourists here. The "dark, dank" atmosphere is certainly not as light and airy as a large-stand alone IHOP or Denny's... more

They have a decent breakfast burrito, but how can you mess up bacon and chile? Their chicken tastes unseasoned and boiled, the beef is ground and greasy or tough and chewy, the service is rude (and I live here so I'm used to poor service), and they seem to have only one mission: Get you out the door and another... more

I love Tia's for three reasons: One, it tastes great. Two, the best Sopapillas I've ever had. Three, this is old school, solid New Mexican. Tia's menu doesn't change. They don't use fancy dishes or worry about sophisticated presentation. The owner will come and talk to you. The waitstaff has been the same for as long as I can remember.... more

We were told that Tia Sophia's was the place where the locals went, which is usually a good thing, It was ok, but nothing great and nowhere as interesting or tasty as Cafe Pasquals. My husband ordered the special breakfast of the day which was a rolled enchilada, an egg, beans and chile sauce. I had the blueberry pancakes. Neither... more

Ate at Tia Sophia a few weeks ago. Not clean, food is horiible and greasy. We were told we could not have an egg white omlette as it takes too many eggs. Owner is very cheap. Old cups and silverware broken coffee cups. They cut corners to the max. Go down the Street to The eldorado hotel and have youself... more

we arrived a little past noon on Saturday of the Indian Market. After a short wait (duringwhich the owners chatted with us) we were seated and had an excellent lunch of green chile stew (yes, it has potatoes, but hey, it's stew) and a sampler platter (I can't recall the name). All the food was very good, although I prefer... more
