" El Nido deserves all the recognition it gets! It was my first visit to Santa Fe, and I was lucky to be recommended to try this wonderful gem. The staff was incredibly attentive, and the culinary presentations were striking. Every dish was bursting with flavor. The ribeye was the standout dish of the night! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying El Nido's Italian dishes, but I was a bit disappointed. The flavors were mild, and I felt like it could use a pinch more seasoning. The service was friendly, though, so that's a plus! I might return to try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Exceptional! The attention to detail in every dish made our dinner special. We enjoyed everything from the appetizers to the mains. I highly recommend trying the ribeye steak, it was cooked to perfection! Service was superb, with very attentive staff. I will definitely return to El Nido next time I am in Santa Fe. " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was decent, my meal didn’t capture the authentic flavor I was hoping for. Service was friendly but a bit slow. I might come back to try something different or during a busier service to give it another shot. Could use more parking options, but overall satisfactory. " (*Curated Review*)

" Everything from the decor to the food at El Nido was outstanding! Typically, we find even the fanciest restaurants lack a personal touch, but El Nido felt cozy and welcoming. The quality of service we received made the night even more special. I cannot recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had high expectations for El Nido but ended up slightly disappointed. The pizza was merely average. Next time, I might try their more traditional dishes. Service was competent and attentive, just not mind-blowing. Overall, it was pretty decent but not the best I had hoped for. " (*Curated Review*)

" I am very picky when it comes to dining out, but El Nido has earned my respect! The array of appetizers was impressive and very delicious. My only challenge was deciding between all the options. Service was prompt but could’ve been a bit more informative about certain dishes. Nevertheless, we enjoyed a lovely evening. " (*Curated Review*)
