- CCarlaNew Mexico •8 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had a reservation for 6, we were seated right away. Drinks came out right away and we ordered food. Everything was delicious especially the red chili ribs and enchiladas. Our waitress was very good and efficient (wish I’d caught her name)More infoEl PintoPrice: Moderate• Mexican / Southwestern• Albuquerque•4.5
- FFairfieldvipNew Mexico •20 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoIf you want a great meal - with plenty of good options on the menu - and a nice experience, drive up to Placitas and visit Blades. We live here and enjoy the convenience. Always consistent service and food with a good wine and cocktail selection. We were celebrating the start of a new business and this was the perfect place for it. The people are friendly and will remember your name. The place has a very comfortable feel. Not too big. Busy enough - because it is that good. My wife had the brie special appetizer which made her night. Never a bad choice to dine here.More infoBlades' BistroPrice: Moderate• International• Placitas•4.8

- RRayNew Mexico •4 reviews5.0Dined on 3 Sept 2024Three of us had lunch in the Santa Ana Café. The location and the ambience are excellent. Food was very good. One friend had two chili Rellenos and a cup of the green chili stew both of which she thoroughly enjoyed. Myself and our other friend both had the Santa Fe omelette. She added mushrooms. I added mushrooms and spinach. We were busy talking and not paying attention and the server did not ask for clarification … she ended up getting mine with the spinach and I ended getting hers without the spinach. We were both into them before we realized the error. Our waiter, Will, was excellent! The young man who served the plates pleasant and helpful, but that’s an error that should not have happened. For this reason I give four stars. We also had the green chili apple pie for dessert. Very tasty but disappointing as I said to Will, if I didn’t know there was green chili in there I wouldn’t know. Barely barely just a hint any less and there would be nothing so definitely did not qualify in my mind as a green chili apple pie. It was just apple pie. but, as I said, it was delicious, if a very small for the price ($10).More infoSanta Ana CafePrice: Expensive• Southwest• Santa Ana Pueblo•4.4
