Opened in 2006 by 8 time James Beard Award Nominee, Chef James Campbell Caruso.
La Boca has the feel of a lively European wine bar, featuring an extensive selection of carefully chosen Spanish wines and Sherries. Chef Caruso's Modern Spanish Cuisine is inspired by the exuberance of Spanish cooking combined with fresh, local ingredients. La Boca has been  called "the most influential restaurant in Santa Fe" by the Pasatiempo Magazine and the New York Times describes the menu as "modern re-inventions of classic Spanish cuisine" Knowledgeable and animated staff graciously guide guests to the perfect wine to complement their meals. La Boca also prides itself on being an ambassador of Spanish sherry culture, transporting its guests to Jerez in the crisp cool flavors of Fino, or the deep fig-essence of a Pedro Ximenez.

Join us every Thursday and Friday night for live music on the Taberna main stage!

    We are Spanish and can verify that the food is authentic Spanish. The morcilla pinxtos were excellent, the lamb albondigas were bigger and tastier than we expected, and the baguette and olive oil were excellent. The espresso was also excellent.

    We didn’t eat at La Boca. We asked for a high top and we’re given one next to the bar and kitchen with a guy drying dishes mere inches away. Why La Boca believes this seating would have been a great dining experience I cannot fathom. But, we asked and were given a a table at Taberna, the sister restaurant, and had a wonderful evening: friendly service, wonderful food, pleasant ambiance.

    Excellent in every category. We brought an out of town guest for a wonderful, as always, experience. We had nine tapas plates - old favorites like the kale and shrimp fennel salads, gambas al ajillo, and, tried a few specials like the roasted cauliflower in a barbecue harissa sauce. It's great to be able try so many delicious bites. The ambiance was perfect - I felt like I was in Madrid.

    Food and service were excellent. The place is small so tables were quite close and a bit noisy but worth the great food. Reservations definitely recommended.
