La Plazuela was the hotel’s original 1920s patio and it retains that sunlit Old World charm. Skylights flood the dining room with natural light and handsome carved furnishings, artisanal lighting, and our much-loved hand painted windows create a beautiful, inviting room to gather, to dine and to make memories in. The menu was crafted to showcase old favorites with New World influences and authentic New Mexican cuisine. La Plazuela at La Fonda on the Plaza is Santa Fe’s gathering place. Come dine with us!

    My wife and I had a great time at La Plazuela. The courtyard dinning area is fantastic and the ambiance is outstanding. We chose the three course holiday menu and the food was wonderful, service was great, and the overall evening was very enjoyable. We recommend eating here if you’re in Santa Fe.

    All things considered, it was Dec. 22 and crowded. But we had a reservation, which we had to wait 20-30 minutes for. Service staff did their best. Margaritas were excellent as was the guacamole and chips. The rest was some of the worst food I have been served in recent memory, especially when the prix fix menu was our only option. At over $120 a head it was appalling.

    The Christmas special pri fix menu had something for everyone. The steak and enchiladas were fantastic. Great cut of meat. Very tender. The tenderloin Oscar was also great. Pecan pie was perfect. Had lots to take home. The strawberry goat cheese salad was excellent. Wonderful evening with hard working staff.

    I feel badly for SF restaurants having to opt for prefix menu and gratuity included due to the ratio of foreigners but it ruins the experience for locals and their guests. The food was ok and the service was ok but clearly stretched to capacity with holiday overbooking. Maybe a locals menu and top tier servers for them.

    They not tell us it was price fix so meal bad and ver disappointed…. Our expectations were definitely not met.all they had to do was tell us of the change and we could have cancelled the dinner. We canceled the next reservation with them because experience and meal were so poor.
