Tesuque Village Market

We love the vibe during our late lunches here. Eventually, we will make it through every item on the menu. The selection of spirits and wines is phenomenal. The bakery case is divine! We were almost out the door when we stopped and sat at the bar for another drink and dessert.

Tesuque Village Market is a true New Mexico landmark. Tucked away just north of Santa Fe, it has such a laidback, welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger. The restaurant serves up consistently delicious food which is hearty, flavorful, and made with care. Whether you’re grabbing a green chile cheeseburger, a breakfast burrito, or something fresh from the bakery, it’s always a satisfying experience. The market itself adds to the charm, full of local character and good finds. It’s the kind of place that feels both like a hidden gem and a beloved local staple. A must stop if you’re in the area.

The experience was nice and pleasant, meeting some old friends at this market/cafe that day. The genuine service and interactions with employees were memorable. The employees themselves have character.. the food was quality, generous portions. The location is apart from the city, in the village of Tesuque 🌳thank you✌️

A general store and more, great shopping selections of unique products and foods. Fun little bar as well.

Had a blast! Small place- all the tables were taken so my friend & I sat at the bar to order lunch- Met some great people! Waitress was funny, prompt, and attentive. I had the chicken salad sandwich- and it was FABULOUS! made with Tarragon! Wow! You have to try it! Ready to go back after writing this review!

Tasty dishes served in a upscale Historic Hippie setting that’s very Dog friendly small but adequate wine list wonderful beer list really nice and Friendly service

Great place! Amazing food and cute little store inside. Seriously some of the best, non pretentious food in New Mexico! Salsa was great, bought 2 jars to take home. We will make this a regular stop on our trips to New Mexico each year.

Amazing pizza, excellent food, server (Riley) was among the best I’ve ever met. Great funky atmosphere and murals. Such a refreshing change from the blandness of most restaurants

This place is a real gem! I had breakfast with a friend and we were able to bring their behaved dog on the patio. It seems this place is popular with the locals, as there were people there waiting for them to open. The staff was friendly. My breakfast sandwich was delicious. I will definitely come back the next time i'm in town. Parking: Plentiful.

After the casino we needed food. This place popped up and we gave it a try. Flash back to vintage roadside dining. It doubles as a market too. Staffed by people who look like nomadic campers . Friendly and attentive. Our food was really good. The Green Chile was great. Eclectic ambiance for sure

The food is epic! The chili relleno grilled with mushrooms corn pine nuts and green chili smothered is the BEST!!! The jumbo shrimp enchiladas are first class with spicy tomatillo sauce. The margaritas are some of the best in the area ... the staff and attitude needs attention! Please owners take note of this and maybe pay more? I don't know but I still endure the half ass service I get because the food is just sooo damn good!

A restaurant and store in one! The place was packed when we arrived but we were quickly seated. It was a chilly day and they had propane heaters throughout the space keeping you nice and toasty. The food was yummy, I do wish my green chile was a bigger portion size. it was delicious, packed with flavor but not filling enough on its own. it comes with 2 tortillas as well. I wanted the whole pot! Their desserts looked delicious! we didnt try one this time but will next time!

The service once seated was great and it's got a cute, small side market to buy limited groceries and pastries. The atmosphere is lively and cozy.

The service was slow at this place. We sat outside at the patio and we were forgotten most of them time. Couldn't find our waiter to refill or order food. Had to go grab him so we can get food. Was not hungry so only got Frito Pie. It taste alright nothing special about it, I had better breakfast elsewhere.

The Green Chili Stew is what grandma was made of. It may have been the most exceptional thing we've eaten during our stay in Santa Fe, so please pull over and try this delicious dish. Also the market is darling. But ooff ooff ooff, man o man... such a cool vibe and space, yet the staff is a huge buzz kill. It's a confusing feeling coming into such a neat space obviously created with love and care, but after our experience followed by reading the reviews, I'm bewildered by the negative vibe the staff gives off. If I could urge one thing for this special place: it's that people visiting your establishment just want to enjoy the amazingness of this area and the bad staff vibes have got to go.

Good food. Service was good. The only comment I have is I think they should open the patio earlier. We stood in line for about 20 minutes with others because the patio was closed. We needed to be seated outside as we had our dog with us.

A Taos friend took us here for dinner while we were visiting NM. Of all the amazing New Mexican meals we ate on our trip, this was my favorite. At our friend's suggestion, he and my husband each had the salmon with piñon and they both thoroughly loved it. I had the chile relleno with mushrooms and chorizo in green chile sauce (with rice and beans). The sauce was so flavorful and the chorizo was possibly the best I've ever had. It was more like a smoked sausage, cooked to the perfect slight crispiness. SO good. The restaurant is very cute with a bar/store on one side. We sat indoors under a heat lamp which felt nice and cozy at first but by the end of our meal I was burning up. The outside patio looked like a fun spot for warmer days. They were busy so service was a little slow, but all worth it for a delicious meal.

We had lunch today at Tesuque Village Market. The restaurant was packed and we had good service given how packed it was. The food was good. However, when I gave my card to pay the bill, our waiter charged my card $433 when our bill was only $65. I got an immediate text message on my phone as an alert from my bank showing he charged my card $433. When the waiter came back he said, sorry I accidentally charged you for the wrong bill. He said he cancelled the charge and that I would have to wait a few days for my bank to reconcile it. I said yeah this isn't a small amount, this is $433. I got the impression he was NOT going to tell me how much he accidentally charged me if I didn't tell him I saw I the charge on my phone. He was like yeah, sorry. He had already ran the original amount that I owed as well and at no point offered to comp any of our meals for such an incredible oversight. On the way out, I spoke to one of the ladies at the front check in area and said I was frustrated and explained what happened. She plainly said sorry, there isn't anything they can do. I have to wait for the bank. At no point did she offer either to compensate us for this error. I told her I would not come back to this restaurant again and she again plainly said okay. I understand that this is a bank issue and I understand that he started the process to back it out. My frustration is in the lack of customer service or any attempts to offer a comp. My card is now holding a $433 charge and let's not pretend that is a small amount. As I've said before, we will not return to patron this restaurant again, which is sad.

I had the Mac-and-Cheese as I'm "that" kind of girl. It was delicious. I live in the area and my last two experiences of the food were 5* but the service--argh. This time our wait staff was really helpful and took orders timely. I really appreciate this effort. Love the vibe here and actually ate inside near the bar. Very nice. Other three diners loved their veggie burgers and enchiladas--lots of 5* comments. Thanks for ramping up your wait staff. Keep the good food coming.

Popped in for an early lunch while heading out of town. My host in Santa Fe recommended it for local New Mexican Cuisine. I arrived around 1130am just before the lunchtime rush. Had no issues getting a table and food service was delivered quickly. Glad I got there early as by the time I finished the whole restaurant was packed. Food was decent - it reminded of Tex Mex cuisine just with more chile sauce. I think this was more about the dish i chose (Combo Meal) than general observation for the rest of the menu. Other people's food looked quite appetizing and I'm sure theirs was very good as well.

The food and drinks are always excellent and always worth the wait. One of our favorite spots on earth. The ambience is busy and fun, generally speaking. Recommend 100%!

Came here on the recommendation of Santa Fe Foodies Facebook page, and I was so disappointed by our experience. I brought my 4 children (6m-old twins, 2yr-old, and 6yr-old) and out-of-town friend here, and we were so excited to visit. When we arrived, we asked to be seated out of the way, since my kids can be loud. They seated us outside on the very edge of the patio, which was perfect for what we needed. The servers we interacted with were kind, knowledgeable, and efficient. We ordered burgers, a salad, and a sandwich with fries. While we waited for our food, we realized that the owners of this restaurant were trying to figure out how to move a large palate of equipment that was directly next to our table of young children. No one said anything to us, so I chose to move my kids to the other side of the table. Did the owners stop when they realized I was concerned for our safety? No. Instead, they decided to use a TRUCK to push the palate closer to my kids (within less than a foot, no joke...) using a piece of wood. It was so insanely unsafe, but I was willing to just see it as disrespectful and let it go. When they still weren't done after 5 minutes, my guest asked them how much longer they would be putting us in danger. The owners just responded, "in a minute." Our food arrived, and I expressed my upset to our server. She told us "sorry, that was the owner, there isn't anything we can do." No apology, not even a "thank you," literally no apology at all offered by the owners after our meal was disturbed and a palate of kitchen equipment was shoved towards my children with a truck. The food was amazing, our servers did the best they could, and the place is adorable. The owners put my family's safety at risk and literally didn't care at all. The owners even smiled the snarkiest smile at us as they left. My guest was so shocked, and we got out of there as quickly as we could. Avoid this place if you have kids, and avoid this place unless you want to support owners that disrespect their customers and don't care about basic safety.

Food was okay, but service was horrible. Server didn't check in with me and I had to ask multiple times to get things I needed (ketchup, water, etc.). They weren't busy, so that wasn't the reason. Great space, so bummer on the service.

Yikes! Probably not coming back. In the past I have left a 4-star review for TVM as they are close to me and fun but after my last two visits I have been left no choice but to give them one star. I took my friend and he got the ultimate french toast, this is a big boy, definitely rightfully expecting every bit of the "ultimate" in ultimate french toast. The poor guy got two thin, limp triangles on a big plate no side, no fruit, no garnish, no nothing it was sad as hell and $17. He ended up scarfing my food down which I allowed but we both left starving. I so wish I had a photo of this ultimate french toast...it was painful to look at. Everything tasted good enough and service was slow as always. Okay 2 stars.. Yikes. The fatal blow. I took another friend here December 5th, 2022. We ordered the vegetarian sandwich to split, southwestern salad and a side of fries. The bread for the sandwich was molded. It was a baguette and the natural crevices of the baguette were filled with green/ brown speckled mold. I promptly returned it- the server agreed and took it back without hesitation. He then returned and told me "chef says those were grill marks not mold." I about lost my shit. Grill marks that are green and circular? Okay.... Right? I can handle an honest mistake and an apology- I cannot handle a lie and lack of accountability especially for a $17 moldy ass sandwich. Salad had minimal amounts of beans and corn it was 90% lettuce. Fries were literally still frozen in center, we left the whole basket and cut our losses. Never returning and if I do in a moment of amnesia it's on me because I know what to expect.

Not a place to eat when your hungry. Sorry to say it but not because the foods not on point but because the service is sleepy at the wheel. I do like this place but more often than not it disappoints, frustrates and needs a jump start. The service is often slow and if you are hungry, the wait is lengthy and can be challenging. It's been there forever and its often busy. I get it.. but when orders get forgotten and people are looking forward to their meal. It really leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Dont be like me, if you eat there, scold the wait staff and let them know. This place is better than that. This said, the Tamales are on point and the store there has what you need.

Great food! Staff was mildly unfriendly. Cute place and decor. TeSuque is awesome. Hooray!

Someone asked on another website about the best Ruben in Santa Fe. Well here is mine from this evening at Tesuque Village Market. I subbed salad for fries. She had red chili pinion crusted salmon, squash and green chili and cheese calabacitas. I love everything on their menu except a few of the deserts...LOL. We had a great table on the "inside" patio and our waitress was excellent. Not shown was the chocolate cream pie. Highly recommended.

Colloquial! TVM is the quintessential Santa Fe eatery. No tourist trap here! Great down home cooking! As vegetarian we appreciate the menu. Try the chili relleno with mushrooms or the calabacitas enchilada! And the cocktails are perfectly crafted!

Amazing scene - food and atmosphere - when you're looking for the genuine stuff! Such a fun, eclectic, delicious spot. You won't be disappointed.

While visiting family in the area we all went here to celebrate a birthday. It does not look like much on the outside so don't be afraid to enter and be enthused to just sit down and visit with family or friends. The food is good as well as the drinks. As you walk in is the hard working pizza person creating wood fired pizzas. Our server handled the crowd very well on her own and never skipped a beat. There is a large cooler that has many many beers to choose from. Some day I would love to drink my way through the selection. This time chose the house margarita which was superb. The food was great! Can't wait to get back there.

Usually one of our favorite places. Tonight not so much. Place was hosting a children's party with about a dozen 6-8 year Olds. They were running amok through the restaurant being so loud you could not have a conversation. The parents were drunk and clueless and the management did nothing to have any control over the situation. Kids were running with ice cream bars and climbing all in and around the patrons. I don't want to think about the drunk parents driving those kids home. The restaurant is not appropriate for a kids party and should only allow this if they have a dedicated/private room for such events. I canceled my meal as there was no way I could enjoy my meal under these conditions. In the end the management needs to control the restaurant so that it is enjoyable for ALL their patrons!

Staff was off putting, but the ambiance was nice and homie. Its also a little store with tons of new mexican crafts and goods. They have a brick oven pizza that i found to be my favorite. Definitely a place to stop by and just see what they have inside even if not for the food but to see the awesome homemade goods inside, as well as new mexican classics

I really want to like this place - TVM has so much potential, but they simply fail to deliver time after time. The food is good, the drinks are good, but almost every visit the staff has been just horrible in my experience. Rude, inattentive, and many of them are simply too busy on their phones or talking with one another to actually serve customers (again, based on my experiences). That, or they're simply too hip to actually do their job. Given the number of complaints on Yelp about service, one would think the owner would take some action - but nothing, they don't seem to care. Such a shame.

This place is great! Little slow on the seating and the staff took forever to come to the table, but the atmosphere here is perfect. It is tucked away in the Tesuque village just in the main road. They have a full bar inside, honest they do. Food is great. You can sit on the outside patio or under the outside tent Restrooms are gender neutral. You have to check out the store while you are here

Go to place!! Best Christmas enchiladas in Santa Fe! Be prepared for longer wait times but it is to be expected with the size of the restaurant.

Dropped by to have a salad for dinner. Really nice to eat outside during the evening. Service was great and my southwest salad was good. A little pricey for the size of the salad and unfortunately they were out of ice tea.

Been coming to Santa Fe on and off for the past 8 years or so. We never skip Tesuque Market. Seen several posts talking about the staff being rude etc but that has never been the case in my experience. The people are nice and the food is awesome whether you go for breakfast lunch or dinner. Awesome Bloody Mary if thats your thing.

We're regularly visiting this place. We ordered 2 drinks and 2 meals and we were really hungry. We finished our meals very fast. And totally sat at the table for half of hour. But waitress brought us check without asking. So rude and unexpected. We always spend money here but it's so unfair. Better take your money somewhere else. Redhead waitress with the ponytail.

Good food and fun atmosphere. Servers were attentive but slammed when we came by this visit 2023z The stress got to them and they had a full on argument in front of customers between shift manager and one of the workers. Not sure if they'll see this review, but as a shift manager, even if you are right, disengage from an argument to save the customer experience. Hash it out later or talk to the boss, but you can't escalate an argument like that even if you are "right".

Brought four visitors with me this time. They loved the food and the vibe. They even loaded up in the market before heading back to AZ. TVM never disappoints!

Had a very bad experience....service was below average...waitress "memorized" our order and then got my order wrong...I ordered Shrimp Enchiladas and the waitress later came back said they were out of shrimp, and then asked me if chicken was ok. i told her chicken was fine, but if i was going to eat chicken i would prefer chicken fajitas. she said ok...when the meal came it was chicken enchiladas, which someone else at the table had also ordered. i decided to just go with it, but then they were so spicy that neither of us could finish them...and no doggie bag, because they were inedible. the flatbread pizza was quite good, but the prices were on the high side...we wouldn't go back.

Food ** Service * Ambiance** Cleanliness ** This place needs help. The servers are extremely rude, have no business waiting tables, they come and grace you with their very entitled, too good for you and this job behavior.

Really neat place. I love that it is a market and restaurant. Delicious food. Especially the pizza! Great drinks and service too.

Terrible service. Lazy waitress. Food was cold. I'm a local and will never be back. When I told the waiter that I had been waiting forever for a coffee refill, he replied "sometimes that happens" and walked away. Food was decent, as was the atmosphere, but whoever manages the front of the house should manage their people. Very very disappointed.

Fantastic for bfast lunch or dinner!! great vibe and is our go-to when we're in town

This has been my go to place since moving to New Mexico....always a great Creative artistic vibe, the soundtrack is on point, good pizzas after 5 pm My favourite is the Reuben

This is a lovely spot--lots of local charm and good food for breakfast lunch and dinner. About 15 minute drive from Santa Fe canyon road area. Servers polite and prompt even when busy. Very dog friendly! Nice menu options, tasty food. We had breakfast--avocado, black beans and eggs and traditional eggs bacon and toast. Yum!

BABS Big Ass Breakfast Sandwich is well named! We shared this and it was more than enough food. The homemade green chili bread was incredibly flavorful and yet not heavy and held up to the sandwich nicely. It was kind of the texture of a brioche. As I was eating I kept saying, this is the best bite, no this is the best bite.! Everything was well balanced and it was just delicious. We also got a cheese pastry to share and that was just a teeny bit sweet how I like it and not heavy either. The place is funky meet hipster plus throw in everyone else who likes to find things "off the beaten path". I would definitely recommend it if you're in the area for some delicious food

Love this place! Got there at the end of the dinner rush- probably worth it to go in later and they open up the windows. Tesitura Market always feels so local to me (a visitor from Los Angeles). I love their Pozole Verde. My partner had an entree salad with salmon which he loved. Dinner came out slowly but the service was great. Why not 5 stars? Because the last couple visits the food was better! But we'll be back and see how it's going!

Wow! Literally shocked to see this place has 3 stars! I heard about Tesuque Village Market word of mouth and was in the midst of the most delicious margarita and Chile relleno experience when it was brought to my attention that there are a ton of crappy yelp reviews of this gem of a place. All of the servers we met are young, hip, smart, friendly and super attentive. We ordered a beer we did not like and they immediately brought us 3 alternatives! The ambiance is friggin' adorable!! We will be back here without question.

Horrible in every way Mediocre at best food Very rude waitstaff who act like they're doing you a favor - young nasty Bad management -attitudes galore Never come here

Very popular expect to wait. Service is a bit overtaxed but the food is quite good and the outdoor dining is relaxed.

We needed a place removed from downtown that we could park our truck & trailer on our way from Colorado. Stopped by here on our way through Santa Fe for some much needed Posole and Frito Pie! Both were amazing, a little too spicy for my taste but my husband loved both. Service was good and fast and we were in and out in about 45 minutes or less. Bakery/dessert selection looked incredible, although we didn't get anything. Atmosphere is neat, very Santa Fe vibes.

I ordered the vegetarian version of their chili relleno filled with roasted corn, piñon nuts mushrooms with green chili sauce, and it was one of the finest examples of ( what I imagine is) New Mexican cuisine. Fantastic dish.

Overpriced by about 25%, imho. A breakfast (for two) of Huevos Rancheros ($16), Veggie Breakfast Burrito ($15), ice tea ($4) and brewed coffee ($4) came to $39 + tax. The quality of the food was fine, but it was nothing exceptional. For the same price there are several options around the Santa Fe area that I would choose before this location.

We are long time customers who have enjoyed the Tesuque Village Market for many years with our family. Sadly, our last few visits have been disappointing-- poor food preparation, terrible service, unresponsive management. Each time, we hope for a better experience, but struggle to remember why are suffering through another very expensive substandard meal. This evening was the final straw: chili pie with no chili, fish tacos with no fish and tamales that were sold out, but the waiter neglected to say anything until everyone else's food came out, leaving one guest with no food for the entire meal. Shameful for a formerly good restaurant. We won't go back.

Absolutely adorable place -- fantastic food and service, amazing little store in the back and they have VERY hot hot sauce. Like, burn your face off in a good way -- hot. The food was amazing and the environment was open and relaxed and friendly, we had a lovely evening. Don't sleep on this one!

I've been eating here with my family for almost 15yrs and If I could leave zero stars I would. Foods ok it was cold and service sucks. Waiters don't care and neither does management. Don't waste your money.
