I got the lamb sopaipilla xmas since few places offer a lamb option. Instead of the meat being shredded or chunk it was sliced like deli style for a sandwich which was a bummer. The red and green were both spicy and delcious! I'd get the chicken next time and skip the lamb. Server was friendly and efficient.

This is one happy space. Wonderful menus. Friendly staff. Helpful. Prompt service. Excellent local draft beer on top. The best ever Black Bean Soup which menu claims is mild. It is not mild. Green chili stew so so. Meat generous but not tender and the broth cannot compare to the black bean soup. Fantastic margaritas. Southwest chicken salad generous and filling. Will return!!

Always a solid NM choice. They have the swirl so you don't have to wait hours to get one elsewhere. I usually go with the Lite plate but the frito pie and the southwest chicken salad are all winners. Leave room for the sopapilla. They have serving food down to a science and it's consistent and quick. Sitting at the bar is always a good option for singles or couples.

Good Friday would not be the same without a stop at Atrisco's! Our meatless Lenten meal consisted of a bean burrito and cheese enchiladas. Salsa and chips to snack on while we waited for our entree. We sit at the bar where everyone is friendly and welcoming. Service is great and those sopapillas are a nice dessert with honey. No doubt we will be back.

The food and the drinks are always fantastic! Got the new st Patrick's day drink called Lucky Swirl, and it was amazing! Really cute and strong with little lucky charms marshmallows on top. Highly recommend this spot for locals and tourists alike, it's one of my go to's for years!

Friends brought me here for some good ole' New Mexican favorites. Very casual place that normally (friends described) is busy enough to require a wait but thankfully we were seated right away. The menu was quite diverse but I wanted to stick with one of the local specialties, a stuffed Sopaipilla with Lamb and Christmas chili. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but it turned out rather tasty. Basically the lamb is stuffed into a think pita-like bread (Don't shoot me) and smothered in cheese and red & green chili. I enjoyed it, but in hindsight I think lamb doesn't pair that well with chili. WOuld have been better to have carnitas, chicken, or beef. Service was pretty quick and overall good, though at times the waiter would hard to track down. Good value for the money, would come back.

Came to Santa Fe to do some shopping, then required lunch Good stop for "introductory New Mexican " cuisine Had green chile stew and eggs, definitely on the milder side for green chile, not much seasoning but a good meal Frito pie and biscuits benedict were also enjoyed and given a thumbs up Easy mall location and some great stores, definitely worth spending time here
