Our waiter was delightful and thought about everything before we said anything, even a wobbly table. The food and drinks were an art form! Be prepared to shell out the money but a worthy splurge on vacation! Reservations are recommended but they were able to seat us at a table in the bar. Definitely get the Shrimp Enchiladas!

When a restaurant’s chef/ owner frequently walks around to greet customers you can tell it’s going to be great. Chef Fernando Olea, is a culinary artist and they have some of the best cocktails as well as an amazing selection of Tequila and Mescal. Wonderful dining experience in downtown Santa Fe.

A pseudo-cool place for the easily impressed. Crazy prices for designer food. Ambience has weird fascination with Frida, in ordinary paintings. But it’s the food that boggles the mind with all these positive ratings.

Came here for tasting menu dinner in May 2023. We started off with excellent margaritas and then it all went downhill from there. The food was bizarre!! They started us off with a sweet ice cream fondant (which we later saw others having for dessert). Shrimp tempura with sriracha aioli seemed basic and out of place for high end Mexican. They repeated the aioli with the fish on crackers. Octopus was tender but drowning in salty olive oil soup. There was some kind of sweet ground beef dish with nuts and raisins. Sopa de amor (sweet) inspired hate not love. Service was cloying, mole also too sweet.

Such an incredible experience! The Chef not only produces fantastic food, but also engages with the patrons, making for a wonderful atmosphere and exceptional service! The soup de amor was heavenly, as well as our meals. It’s easy to see why the James Beard award for best Chef in the southwest went to Fernando Olea!

The mole sauces were really great here, although the food was quite expensive. The stuffed squash blossoms were much heavier than I expected so I wasnt hungry enough for a meat entree, but I don’t care for eggplant (the only vegetarian dish). The waitress suggested I ask the chef, and after he came to talk to me himself he made the MOST DELICIOUS fried tofu dish with mole sauce that I have ever had. They should really make it a regular menu item!

There is nothing I would change about this place. We had a perfect dining experience, one which I won’t soon forget thanks to the incredible service which really embellished and enhanced the taste and presentation of the food. Megan was lovely, warm, charming, helpful, and attentive but never overbearing. You just can’t beat a meal that starts with a complimentary guided mole tasting.

We dined at Sazon during the Santa Fe, NM Wine and Chili Fiesta. We had to make reservations 3 months early, as Chef Fernando Olea was the James Beard 2022 Winner, Best Chef of the Southwest … boy was that award well deserved. Dining at Sazon was one of the most incredible dining experiences we have had in years. Definitely going back on our next trip to Santa Fe! Best advice is to put yourself in thehands of the wait staff and let them guide you through the meal.
