" On a recent trip to Santa Fe, my family and I stopped by Casa Chimayo based on a recommendation from a friend. First impressions were excellent—the decor was a delightful blend of traditional and modern. We started with the elote, which was prepared tableside and was an absolute hit. For our main courses, we had a mix of dishes including the stuffed poblano and birria tacos. Everything was bursting with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. The owner himself visited our table, sharing stories behind the recipes that made the meal even more special. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is the wait time; it was a bit longer than expected, especially on a busy Friday night. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last week, we tried Casa Chimayo and indulged in their incredible shared plates! Highlights included the rich mole sauce and the delectable blood orange margaritas. The setting was beautiful, filled with eclectic decor that represented New Mexican culture vividly. However, we experienced a bit of a wait, which was unfortunate, but I must say the food and service made it worth it. I look forward to visiting again! " (*Curated Review*)

" A wonderful experience in Santa Fe! I loved the attention to detail in both the food and service. The Chile En Nogada was excellent, and the chef came out to ask about our meal. Such a nice personal touch! I particularly appreciated the local sourcing of ingredients. The only thing to note is that it can get crowded, so make sure to have a reservation. " (*Curated Review*)

" I pride myself on knowing good food, and the experience at Casa Chimayo exceeded all my anticipations! Attention to detail, flavors that speak to your taste buds, and a warm atmosphere made it a complete package. You really notice the authenticity in each bite.

" We were so impressed by this little gem in Santa Fe! Casa Chimayo offers authentic New Mexican food that is comforting and delicious at the same time. The staff was attentive, the atmosphere was colorful and charming. I enjoyed the vegetarian options a lot, especially the blue corn huarache I ordered. For dessert, the coconut flan was simply perfect. It’s a must-visit if you’re in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" We dropped into Casa Chimayo after a long day of exploring Santa Fe and boy was it a great choice! The mole lamb chop was the highlight of my meal—definitely something I’ll crave in the future. The servers were pleasant, saying hello each time they passed by. I was surprised by the freshness of the ingredients. While I thought the tacos were a bit small for my appetite, it was an overall satisfying meal. I’d love to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" On my recent trip, I made a point to visit Casa Chimayo, and it was a highlight of my trip. The elote was freshly made at our table and absolutely delicious!

While it was busy, the service remained attentive, which was much appreciated. I can't recommend this wonderful establishment enough! " (*Curated Review*)
