Atrisco Cafe & Bar

Absolutely loved this place! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. The food was outstanding — everything came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You can really tell they care about quality and presentation. Every bite was delicious, and the portions were generous.

I was not acknowledged , I walked in and was ignored by the host. Another couple walked in and they were seated before me. I will go to Tomasitas. Same day update- Manuel a very awesome guy/the Management at Tomasitas let me know Atriscos is the sister restaurant. He said he would speak to the managers over there. I will lighten my tone with Atriscos for now. I feel like Tomasitas treats me like family and I will have to go back and experience Atriscos. Thank you ☺️

Very good food and service. We had Chile Rellenos, Enchiladas, Green Chile Cheese Burger, Meatloaf, Menudo, and Gree Chile stew.

Every time my husband and I go to Atrisco we leave happy. We go about 3-4 times a month. We do have our favorites off the menu-the lighter plate, (w great posole), an added taco, the Atrisco combo, occasionally the Tortilla burger when I’m super hungry. Lately we've added queso with our salsa and chips, and the wedge salad, which is always so cold and fresh with great dressing. Of course we have our special requests, ( no onions, no sour cream, green chile only, no red). Our food always arrives temperature hot , just the way we ordered it. Our servers, usually Lorena & Marcos, are friendly and so accommodating. Miguel and Alexa, the Managers, are so welcoming, smiling and happy. Honestly , the whole staff is efficient, (skilled at layering customer plates up their arms), and quick to respond to whatever we need-usually extra napkins , more chips or another Frog cocktail. A frozen margarita! My favorite drink. The only things I’d change would be to lower the lighting in the evening hours, and bring honey butter w the sopapillas. 😋 Just know you’ll leave happy too, having had a satisfying meal that didn’t break the bank.

Stopped in for lunch and I was very pleasantly surprised. I had the green chili beef stew. Delicious! Chips and salsa were quite good as well. Chips were hardy and made right there. My stew came with a big soft sopapilla. Oh, almost forgot about the margarita. Excellent!

The food is very good. You get quality organic pasture raised lamb and beef. The food is very good. When they are busy, the wait for a table is upwards of 40 minutes, but fortunately theyare within the DeVargas Mall, so plenty of space to walk and window shop.

This is one of our favorite New Mexican restaurants of all time! The food is excellent and they make great efforts to source much of their ingredients locally. The service has always been above average.

The space is a little tight but it’s a very home type of feel! The wait was a little long but it was understandable why so many people wanted to eat here at the same time as we were here the food was amazing!!! I had the green chile stew, it was delicious and came with a tortilla my family all got stuffed sopapillas one red and one green (pictured below) but everything was great. Our waiter was super polite and helpful I wish I remembered his name.

Coming up from ABQ to go to Santa Fe Market this is one of a few places we stop for Breakfast. Filled with Locals. Doesn't that tell you something? Gabriel is one of favorite waiters and although we can't always sit in his section, he will always stop by and say Hello. Friendly, real food with local flavor. There is a bar if you want an alcoholic drink and their fried Mushrooms are the best! Don't let the fact it's in the mall fool you, you will be happy with the experience! Travelers and Locals - if you have gone there do it!

This restaurant was recommended by a local. It's not in downtown but about 2 miles from town center in a Mall. Plenty of parking so no stressing to find a spot to park. It's generally crowded but they got us seated after a short wait. The inside is nice but not overly decorated. The server was helpful and very attentive. We got chips and salsa for a starter. The chips were good and the salsa delicious. It had a nice bit. The entrees were both the combo plates. A chicken blue corn enchilada, a beef taco, beans, and posole. The red and green chili on the enchilada was insanely good. The beef taco was the best I've ever eaten. They use local raised beef and grind it in house. Easily one of the best meals on our Santa Fe visit and the prices are lower than in town for the same quality of food. This is a can't miss spot.

Our server was welcoming and helpful. Margs were tasty. This restaurant is at the entry of a mall but don't let that keep you from experiencing good food! We split the wedge salad which had a ton of bacon! And shared a bowl of green chile stew. Both were very tasty. The restaurant was nicely decorated offering booths and tables/chairs. We plan to visit again. The flan was sooo good!

Service was fantastic! Very accommodating and very informative will definitely recommend

We were excited to give this place to go. We were passing through on our way back from Taos and ultimately were quite disappointed with the overall experience. Front of house staff seemed nice but unfortunately, after getting our food we discovered that there was no care in the making of our food or packaging it! We have high standers when spending money on food! They were kind giving us a full refund! Hopefully in the future they will take more pride in what they were give there customer.

Came to Santa Fe for my granddaughter's graduation. Came here afterwards to celebrate after the place we chose originally was packed. I'm glad they were, because this place was much better. I had the stuffed sopapila with lamb, and a strawberry margarita. Hubby had frito pie. It was delicious. Portions were generous. The service was great, the ambiance warm and friendly. Would definitely eat here again

Anywhere else, this place would be 5*. Ok, I made 5*, but it just barely gets there. Food was very tasty. Just the right amount of heat, just a complement to the Chile flavors. Sopapillas were different; almost seemed like they were whole wheat. Not what I was used to, but perfect for sopping up the extra sauce. Margaritas were really to my liking. Service was good, not inspired. Adequate.

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

Love it, food is amazing. Service was great, and can't wait to go back. It's a very friendly and welcoming place.

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.

Yummy food. Go early to get a seat as they get busy. Authentic New Mexican cuisine, delicious!

Great green chile but the red is really as good as it gets. Earthy, flavorful stuff. Always busy. You know it's special when the place serves Northern NM lamb. Service is always good.

1st time here 1st time Christmas enchiladas All great!! Rice was good Had a flauta on the side,,, stuffed! Salsa and queso was great Great service Will be in town a few days, will be back!!!!

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.

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.

Their green chile was great on my roast beef burrito, as was the excellent frozen margarita. Service is always great. Their sopapillas are always an added bonus.

Nice place. Customers were, including us, all in a good mood with the appropriate amount of staff attention. Food, burger and customized enchilada order, were excellent. Personal opinion, I got christmas chili, the green was better.

I really wanted to love this place- they were really busy, but the service was good. Welcoming and friendly. The food was bland- lacking seasoning and heat, the green chile stew needed cooked for much longer, the potatoes were just done, the meat chewy, the broth thin. The guac was just ok, the red and green chile both were kind of eh. Just a general lack of flavor. Disappointing.

Would be a 5 except they limited margaritas to 2 per person which is UnAmerican.... Seriously, who does that? The stuffed sopapilla was delicious,

Best menudo I have ever had. The Chile has a very great taste. Definitely recommend for the menudo fanatic!

Ate dinner at Atrisco in Santa Fe tonight. Disappointing. Had cheese enchiladas - the chile (red) was decent, but the beans and rice left a lot to be desired - super bland. The sopapillas were also bland and not puffy like a sopapilla should be. Green chile stew was fair, more tasty than the other items, but could use more ingredients - big chunks of potato and meat and that's all, and not very much meat, mostly potato. Needs improvement.

its a shame. i pass through santa fe all the time and made a b-line for atriscos tonight with my spouse before they closed. I've been talking them up for a while and have been coming here for years. we arrived at 8:20pm on a thurs night with plenty of time before closing at 9. guess what: "we are closed ....but the sign says 9pm. yeah tonight was slow. but we just want a margarita or 2 and will be out by 9. sorry. we are closed. 40 min early? yep. have a nice day." clearly this business feels they dont need yours or my business. sadly I have to recommend skipping this establishment for a restaurant that understands food service 101.

Real NM food . Local spot with excellent service, margaritas and Christmas Chile. My fav

Great restaurant to get a true taste of New Mexico cuisine. Knowledgeable staff that explained the dishes and ingredients. Dinner plate servings are generous so arrive with an appetite. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting to try NM food.

We stopped it for a lunch boost. A half order of their nachos and a cup of green chile stew really hit the spot! Chile was flavorful and just the right level of heat. Now to continue shopping!

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!!

One more thing. The sopapillas are much better at Atriscos. If at La Choza pick the garlic toast instead. It's good. I always order the red cheese enchiladas anywhere I go and prefer the posole at La Choza rather than the Spanish rice you get at Atrisco's. The posole has a decent amount of pork and a nice touch of oregano. Most restaurants are stingy with the meat and just give you corn. Both restaurants are good but the red chile from La Choza is in my opinion much better and worth the wait. I have to admit that I mostly eat at Atrisco's because it's good food, convenient, and usually shorter wait times so I'm not being as critical as it might sound. Tomasita's, Tia Sophia's, and The Shed are also good and they don't put flour in their red chili (many restaurants do). I haven't been to these restaurants lately so I can't say anything more than they are also good. Lifelong Santa Fean

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!

Very pleasantly surprised with this restaurant! Some of the best Northern New Mexican food we have had in decades. Not fancy, but nice ambiance for a mall restaurant. I grew up in Albuquerque, and my wife grew up in Santa Fe, so we know all of the hot spots and tourist restaurants in town. This place is on par with the best of them. If you are looking for great NM food in Santa Fe but don't want to deal with tourists or tourist prices, this place should be first on your list. After 3 years of searching hard for a restaurant with tacos that can rival mine (Philomena's recipe - IYKYK), we finally found it! We also loved the chile rellenos, the enchiladas, and the sopapillas. Both the green and the red chile are great, but the red in particular is outstanding! Our new favorite casual restaurant in Santa Fe.

We went for a Sunday breakfast and the food came out right away and the red chili was on point, nice and hot. We ate every single bite.

First dinner in Santa Fe and it was Yummy!! Service was attentive and the ambiance was just fine. On our list when we come back.

Great authentic food and a very nice menu. We take our guests and friends to Atriscos. The locals love the place and are loyal customers as we are. The local chile is prepared in the traditional manner using New Mexican home grown product. Order the chile on the side if one is unsure about the heat.

We stopped by on a road trip and wanted to try authentic New Mexican food. This place is basically a diner. The chile they are known for is good but nothing out of this world. Customer service was great though! Pretty busy restaurant with tourists

Ordered takeout for lunch on their website. Selected 1:00 pickup time (ordered around noon) and arrived at 12:50 to pick it up. My order was sitting at the host stand. When I got home a few minutes later, I saw the kitchen receipt taped to the bag showed a time of 12:25, I assume meaning the kitchen filled the order at that time and my food sat at the host stand for 25 minutes before I picked it up. The food was lukewarm. The sopapilla was a sad, wilted version of its former self. If you are going to accept to-go orders and allow the customer to select a pickup time, you shouldn't have the order ready 35 minutes early and sitting at the host stand getting cold. The meal probably would have been good, if it was fresh and hot, but instead it was very average and disappointing.

Always love this place. Good hot fast food and friendly service. Always a winner and definitely recommend for lunch and or dinner.

We thoroughly enjoyed Atrisco on our visit to Santa Fe. Both the green and red chili sauces were too hot for either of us, and we aren't total wimps. I got the waiter to bring me a side of their salsa instead, and that was perfect. Our fav was the Chicken Chalupas. A few days after we ate there, we went back for take out. Will go back!

I was not disappointed in the service I received at Atrisco, which was attentive & friendly. I was, however, disappointed in my food and drinks. I ordered the AtrisCombo (taco, chile relleno with green chile, blue corn chicken enchilada with red chile, posole, beans) so I could sample different items, and found everything to be lacking in spice / heat and flavor, with the exception of the red chile, which had a really off-putting flavor. I tried two margaritas (house & Silver Coin), which were mainly ice and otherwise unnoteworthy. The atmosphere was pretty noisy, despite it being a Sunday evening.

We have been long term customers and recently ate there. The menu has changed from a great selection of quality Mexican food to more of a pub grub selection with a very limited Mexican selection We'll have to find somewhere else for our Mexican food

Nothing worse than a waitress knocking over your beer on to your lap and not offering an adequate remedy.

Oh my the food & margaritas were so good here. They had a great waiting system where they text you when your table is ready. The bartender was extremely helpful with deciding what to order. We decided to eat at the bar instead of wait for a table. I would highly recommend and will be back when in town.

I was visiting Santa Fe and I recently found out that the Bobcat Bite was closed down in Oct of 2018 (BOOO... it was on my foodie bucket list). I Googled around to find out where I should get a green chili cheeseburger - and this place came up as a contender. My husband got some kind of combo platter that he was not thrilled with. But my burger was DE-LIGHFUL!!! and the fries were hand cut. The burger was nice and tender and the bun a perfect light compliment. I would say it could have used more green chilies. But I was super happy with it!

So good we came here twice, two days in a row for lunch. The Chile relleno is amazing. It's everything those who grew up in the southwest love and remember; crispy batter, long and tender Chile, stuffed with a molten white cheese and smothered with a delicious green sauce. Tacos are also very good. Looks like the locals all know this place as well. BTW, the frozen marg knocked my socks off. It's not made with an overly sweet mix, but the flavor of tequila shines through. Skip the shed and try Atrisco.

Good food at a reasonable price. Not fancy. I often stop by weekends for breakfast but the entire menu is delicious. The burgers are also quiet good.

Food was amazing! My husband had burrito with Carne Vada and it was the best that he ever had! I had a veggie sopapillas and it was as sooooo good. My only complaint was the price of a liter of sangria! $32. Was crazy!!!

Absolutely the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. We started with a half order of nachos, which was huge and had possibly the best tortilla chips that I've ever tasted. We moved onto our main chorus, which I got the sliced beef burrito and it was spectacular covered in green chili sauce was delicious. Totally recommend this place.

Local. Good. Food. Easy going environment, easy going service with wonderful New Mexican dishes.

Our 2020 Green Chile Tour of New Mexico continued with an early dinner & drinks at Atrisco, which came highly recommended. And it delivered! The place was surprisingly crowded at 4:30pm, and it definitely felt like a locals spot. Our server was very friendly and helped answer a few questions til we settled on: +Stuffed Sopaipilla covered Christmas style +Chile Rellenos (also Christmas style) +House Margarita +local Amber Ale Everything was super tasty and very filling, especially the sopaipilla. The chile rellenos were good, especially the beans and rice that came with it, I only wish they used an egg batter instead of bread crumbs. But still, the green and red chile sauces were both delicious...I couldn't decided which one was better! Solid stuff all around and definitely worth checking it if you're in the area.

We are so fortunate to have a place only a few blocks from Atrisco's. Dining on a Monday afternoon we found the restaurant to be very busy. Despite most tables being full we were seated promptly. Our service was exceptional and our meals very good. The spousal unit ordered the Flautas and she was very pleased. I ordered the Monday special which is the Blue Plate with Chicos. The dish consists of a chicken tamale with green chile, a blue corn cheese enchilada with red chile, rice, and chicos 'n beans. Chicos being sweet corn which elevated a simple side of beans to something special. The rice was well above average. Often tamales are mostly masa with a scant bit of filling. My tamale had a very generous portion of chicken and the red and green chiles were delicious. Looking forward to a return visit.
