Tomasita’s
Tomasita’s is a lively go-to for Southwestern fare located in Santa Fe. Their sopapillas are served with a delicious side of honey butter, a customer favorite. For guests who like some spicy with their sweet, try some of Tomasita’s chiles with your sopapillas and honey.
A customer review: “First time trying New Mexican cuisine, it was such an amazing experience! The Sopaipillas and the honey butter it came with were the highlight. The ground beef burrito was super filling, albiet the chili was a little too spicy for my taste. You can ask for a bowl of sour cream to help with the spiciness. Everything came in massive portions, and I left feeling like I had just eaten the biggest meal of my life. The restaurant is huge! There were so many tables and rooms all filled with people. Cozy and family-friendly atmosphere. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, we were a group of 8 and she remembered all our orders without having to write anything down. Would definitely return if I ever come back to Santa Fe!”

A customer favorite: “I ordered the Carne Adovada, large portion, with red and green chili on top. It came with frijoles and papitas. We used to live here and came here just to eat! It was just as great as I remembered. The gold margarita and chips and salsa were excellent. The sopapillas with honey were great. I would take this meal over any other that I can think of. The service was very good.”
