The 22 Best Restaurants in Santa Fe, New Mexico | Eater

"Since debuting La Boca in 2006 in downtown Santa Fe, chef James Campbell Caruso has merged regional Southwestern ingredients with methodical Spanish technique, transporting eaters from New Mexico to Spain. Caruso pairs small plates like trio de califlor — roasted cauliflower with harissa barbecue sauce and manchego cream — with an impressive selection of Mediterranean and South American wines. The restaurant can get packed on the weekends with a crowd that skews older, so make a reservation a week or two ahead of time to snag a spot if you’re visiting town. Best for: Late-stage dates and other romantic celebrations for a party of two." - Karen Fischer
