She had the chile rellenos, I had the cheese enchiladas. The red sauce on the enchiladas is a bright chile sauce not watered down with tomato. Hard to find a restaurant that presents red sauce that way. Her relleno was outstanding, with the lightest crust on the outside and a terrific monterrey jack on the inside, topped with a clean,... more

My wife and I dined here the end of July 2008. We had been to this Mexican restaurant before and enjoyed it then. There is a notice on a wall about their expansion plans, so it seems they are doing a good business. We both loved our meals. Their red sauce is very good. This restaurant can be a little... more

Having eaten here many times, I am somewhat mystified by the negative comments about La Choza. First, La Choza is good New Mexican food, and pretty typical of good NM food. It is the sister restaurant of The Shed, which is my favorite restaurant in the world—but it is somewhat different from the Shed. Northern NM food will not taste... more

The Chile is bland, boring, and offensive to those of us that grew up in Santa Fe. Apparently flavor or culture has been lost the second you step into this horrible place. The iced tea took over twenty minutes to receive, and at that served with a contemptuous attitude. It was apparent the wait staff believes just that, there job... more

We sought out La Choza because of the review we read in our guidebook. It's supposed to be a sister restaurant to The Shed, which is supposedly the best Mexican restaurant in Santa Fe, only La Choza is supposed to be even better. Background - my husband and I grew up in Arizona and southern California, where Mexican food is... more

We ate there on August 7, 2007. The people were very nice, the courtyard was a very pleasant spot to have dinner and the service was good, but not great. I wanted to try their New England Clam Chowder seasoned with green chiles and it was good, though spicy for an east coast guy. My main course was your average... more

We ate at the La Choza and left wondering how it became to be rated as #1. It is a hole in the wall but that doesn't bother us. In fact ,we have had many good meals in this type of restaurant. The service was horrible and there was no one in the place! The food was very average. I... more

Fast service, decent prices, unique location, average food. I'm not quite sure how this place became the #1 ranked place in town. I'm not saying its bad, just not the best in a town of great restaurants. more
