Del Charro

This old saloon just at the edge of the Santa Fe action is a great place for a drink, a burger, or both. My wife and I like to sit in two of the four highly coveted leather chairs by the fireplace on a cold winter day, sipping something to warm us up. The bar's red leather chairs, old wood, rustic tables, and cozy nooks are throwbacks to the old west. You don't have to wear a cowboy hat and boots here, but you may feel more of that vibe if you do. There is also a light and airy dining room on the side. A fine room for lunch but a totally different vibe, more like an indoor garden. On my most recent visit I really enjoyed the ribs, which are a fall-off-the-bone half rack on the appetizer part of the menu. You can make it a full meal with a side of fries or slaw. My only complaint is that the homemade potato chips have disappeared from the menu. I loved them. But we love the feel of this place and will be back many times.

First, they were kind when I showed up fifteen minutes early. It was cold out, and they offered me a seat inside to wait. This is so much in contrast to Ortiz when I showed up with a sign outside saying they were open. They treated me like I had three heads and booted me out. Del Charro was so kind. The blue corn enchiladas at Del Charro are the best I have had in town since we have been here (6 days). They have flavor, a ton of flavor, but not too hot. The servers are friendly and treat me respect. The ambience is amazing too. It’s a saloon and Santa Fe combined. The fire is awesome. The Santa Fe Trail margarita could not be better. So, I was settling in and happy with two games on the tv, games I had seen the teams play in person. One man sits at the bar and asks the bartender to change the tv. He changed the center screen. I protested, and he actually said I could move and see the game I had been watching on a smaller screen over to the other side. Me move? Why not the new guy? I believe it was because he was man. Plus, I was watching a second game in my side of the bar. I was there first and watching two games. He could have had the man watch his game in the left screen. Man versus woman at a bar. No bueno.

Excellent food, fast and friendly service. I wanted to try nachos and this place was the only one I found on Google that offered something looking decent in Santa Fe. It did not disappoint (not that I know what nachos should be like but it was very tasty and my European stomach tolerated the mild heat of this meal once I removed the top sprinkling of jalapenos). My husband enjoyed the beef chilli which was hotter than my meal. The club tortilla was lovely too.

Great food and drinks. Got the enchiladas, tres leches cake, and a Santa Fe salad. Chris the bartender was extremely attentive and had a great personality. Would strongly recommend the electric lemonade as well. Got the bill and did a double take because of how reasonable it was based on what I ordered. We’ll be back.

Other than my wife’s food coming out 15 minutes later than everything else, not bad. Manager avoided us (and all of the other tables with people). He paid more attention to the door dashers than the customers sitting in the restaurant. Hard to offer up a good recommendation for someone looking for above average. I’ll look for some place else before we return.

Good place to find. Nice menu, lots of choice. Very popular. They found space for us after a little wait. Service was excellent. Great margarita.

Classic local bar and food stop. Mix of cold shoulder "you are not a regular" and super friendly staff, depending on the person. Surprisingly good food at bargain prices for Santa Fe. Salmon Wrap vas very good and only $13. It is well worth it if you get a friendly staff member.

I recently dined at this charming spot and was utterly captivated by its very romantic atmosphere, perfectly complemented by great food and impeccable service. The ambiance sets the perfect mood for a memorable evening, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to enjoy a special night out. The quality of the food was outstanding, with each dish prepared to perfection, and the attentive staff ensured our experience was flawless from start to finish. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area. It's a must-try destination that promises an unforgettable dining experience.
