The Tapas here are excellent! They have a wide variety of types to offer and are the servers are very friendly and knowledgeable. You should definitely try to Blood Orange Sangria - I've never had better. Go, try several kinds, get some sangria to pair - you won't be disappointed, more

My boyfriend and I went for lunch on our last day in Santa Fe. Neither of us had ever really had the "tapas" experience, but we were very excited to try the restaurant. It was the best thing we had while in Santa Fe. Our waiter was awesome and explained everything to us. My boyfriend at one of the bruschetta's... more

My husband and I, vacationing in Santa Fe for the first time, hoped to find a good tapas restaurant to rival those we had visited in Barcelona two years ago. La Boca did not disappoint us. The tiny dining room was packed on a Tuesday night, yet the service was attentive and amiable. Tapas options were innovative while maintaining some... more

Our waitress was well informed about the variety of tapas and wine on order. Portion sizes vary, but two per person is probably plenty, maybe with a shared dessert. Lots of variety, well matched flavors, interesting ingredients to try. We had a great time and a very interesting meal. more

I can't say enough about this tiny tapas place. The food is to-die-for, the staff is funny and friendly, not stuck-up or pretentious like in other pricier restaurants in town, and the restaurant feels so intimate and cozy... it has a great 'energy.' I've been there on a few occasions and it's definitely my favorite restaurant in town. I love... more

Based on reviews I was looking forward to a dinner at la boca. I was very disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the food was delicious, but extremely overpriced. $14 for five bites of duck, give me a break. The environment of the restaurant was impossible to enjoy, it was extremely loud and crowded, not even a foot between tables. The... more

A group of ladies and I spent the day at the spa and were looking foward to a wonderful dinner. Unfortunatally we did not find it here. The server took forever to greet and bring us water. She was rude and unattentive. When looking over the menu it seemed pricy but we thought what the heck. Everyone of us was... more

Tiny place, but we were lucky enough to get 1 of 2 tables at the window - which is why i made this rating 1 more star for atmosphere. Initially had a nice server, but she went on break. Had another server, who was not as nice, obviously a bad day, (well, we overheard the entire group/staff talk about her... more

My family and I visited La Boca last night. The food is excellent! Nothing we ordered disappointed. Portions are small for the price but the quality is so good that we will return on every visit to Santa Fe. more

the waiter gave us a recommendation for an 8-tapas meal (there were 4 of us for lunch) - everything, including the wine, was perfect. The perfect mix of spices and flavors together! My family and I were still talking about this meal days after leaving Santa Fe! more
