Do yourself a favor while in Santa Fe and take a drive to this place - a fish forward family owned gem! Food is spectacular - fresh seafood done well! We had the ceviche and the fish Diablo. Highly recommend

Came back a second time, but this time, I ordered the Mole Poblano. It was very tasty, and I enjoyed it immensely. My favorite thing about this place is the rice with corn that they make here as a side. It's something that I have not had at any other Mexican restaurant. They also offer fries as a side, but on this visit, I chose the pinto beans instead. The service is very friendly, quick, and responsive. The ambiance looks like a traditional American seafood restaurant, but it definitely serves good Mexican food.

Good food for a fair price. My go to is the stuffed fish cooked in aluminum foil. Fantastic!

Loved the food, the service, the staff. A big plus is that not only do they have excellent food, but they are one of the few (maybe only one not a bar) sit down restaurants open after 9:00pm in Santa Fe (or at least in this area). I'm pretty sure most, if not all, of the menu items are made in house. I would definitely eat here again next time I come to Santa Fe.

Food was excellent, had the Shrimp de la Diablo. Was Spicy Hot! (was warned) and loved it. Was a bit noisy until they turned the music down.

They handled my dairy allergy with care. Really recommend the Vaquero Tacos, which were insanely good. I look forward to trying them again the next time I come to Santa Fe.

After reading an article in the Santa Fe Reporter about Puerto Peñasco we decided to give a try on a snowy February afternoon. I ordered the Camaron Crema Chipotle and it was one of the best seafood dishes I have eaten. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the crema chipotle sauce was delicious with just a hint of heat. I would certainly return to this restaurant for a repeat meal. Also, the young woman who served us was terrific. All around very nice experience.

I remember stopping by at this place years ago, so when I stepped in earlier today, it was a nostalgic homey feeling. The service was great and welcoming, she spoke Spanish with us which was perfectly fine! I got a michelada which was flavorful and refreshing at a great price. The chips and salsa provided are okay, I would say it was my least favorite part of the visit. The chips taste store bought and cold and the salsas were very mild. I ordered the camaron tequila to try something new, and I was intrigued when I read it came with rice and fries- a little different than the normal rice and beans. The sauce was delicious and spicy with a hint of butter, and the mushrooms bell peppers and onion complimented the shrimps very well. It was a great portion and really great flavor for the price. I will be back again for more!

Wish I could give this place 10 stars! Everything was super delicious! I had the filete al mojo de ajo and it was so flavorful! My husband had the piña villa and my goodness! Everything was great! The service was awesome! The mojarra frita was fried to perfection! Ambiance is family friendly which I loved. Will definitely be back next time I pass through Santa Fe! Pretty bummed I didn't take any pictures! Everything was plated very nicely.
