I dont need to say why La Choza gets 5 stars 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

As life-long, chile-loving New Mexicans, we have dined at numerous NM restaurants touting "authentic cuisine". La Choza is our favorite restaurant. It is the less-famous sister restaurant of The Shed. La Choza is located near Cerrillos and St. Francis Road. Housed in an old adobe building, La Choza offers delectable food at reasonable prices. Its casual setting, great service, and,... more

We agree in most part with several of the recent reviewers' comments - this really is a place locals like, yet it probably couldn't /shouldn't be called the Number 1 restaurant in SF. We really enjoy the food (such as the enchiladas and the frito pie). The prices are inexpensive and the portions generally very filling. The pre-meal chips and... more

Everyone's definition of what a "number 1" restaurant is, is bound to vary. However, in my opinion a "number 1" restaurant should have some special quality whether it be the food, the atmosphere, the service, or some combination of the above. As of this posting, Trip Advisor ranks La Choza as the number 1 restaurant in Santa Fe. Unforturnately, there... more
