El Rincon Café

"We had a wonderful New Year’s Eve dinner. Beautiful dining room with classical guitar music and cozy fire. I had delicious lamb chops and veggies. Others had the posole, halibut, and filet and all were very happy. It was a special and memorable dinner for our family with incredible service, quality, and ambiance."

"To start, this restaurant has *exceptional* service. My wife accidentally dropped a knife, someone jumped to take it away and replace it. Water, drinks, dishes, anything and everything is attended to by all members of staff— bus staff, waiters, and manager— at the highest level. The food is quite good. Some of the pairings are strange to me- for example the wagyu steak came with an enchilada. Sure that’s very NM but not quite what people might expect. Lamb chops were sublime. Portions were good. The restaurant is intimate and cozy. Fireplace was burning wood (Dec visit) and everything was decorated nicely. I do wish they’d have salt and pepper on the tables. I realize that’s a no-no for high end restaurants but come on now, I’m an adult and maybe I like my food salty. Overall, definitely one of my top picks for downtown Santa Fe."

"One of the best meals I have ever had! Everything was truly amazing! The atmosphere felted like a warm family hug and I cannot rave enough about the food. Impeccable!"

"El Rincon is a delicious northern New Mexican restaurant in the heart of downtown. We were lucky enough to sit next to the fire where our server Gabe took exceptional care of us. He was knowledgeable in Wine selections as well as sent in the correct direction with appetizers, entrées, and dinner We will definitely return!!"
