Red Enchilada Restaurant

This is my new favorite place to eat in Santa Fe. Everything from the service to the food the clean bathrooms. The red & green chile is so good I bought extra to take home. Can’t say enough about this place!

Breakfast, service was pretty decent, food was also decent. Nothing exemplary but not bad. Restaurant is not very clean, but some of my favorite hole in the wall joints are that way. I’m thinking 3 1/2 stars. I would return, maybe try something else.

Unexpected treasure in a small strip mall in the middle of Santa Fe. We hit up the place for dinner after several years of hearing good things. The service was prompt and he was very kind and patient. We got the pupusas and the Los amigos dish. The sauce on that dish was so good, we used the pupusas to soak it up. Definitely an unsuspecting treasure.

This food is delicious! We ordered the beef burrito with green chile, the blue corn enchilada with red and the tri-enchiladas with red. So good! It even came with enormous sopapillas and honey. We got the food to-go and service was prompt and fast. Very good!!!!

This has been our go-to dive for the last decade. The food is good, the space unpretentious and the staff is always super nice. Don't expect elegant dining here, but if you're looking for good Salvadoran and New Mexican food at an awesome price, you won't be disappointed.

Lovely little restaurant with great food. The salsa is especially amazing and worth a visit on its own.

Delicious New Mexican and Central American dishes. Portions are generous, and prices are very reasonable. Friendly staff.

Update Red Enchilada Tuesday, January 27, Noon 5 Stars Red Enchilada is a family-owned Salvadoran and New Mexican restaurant in business for the last 15 years at the same corner of Osage Ave and Cerrillos Road. The dining rooms are cheerful and bright and welcoming with many hand painted South American murals. We were warmly greeted and served with our favorite beverage, horchatas. If you have never ordered this beverage do. The creamy, sweet and spiced drink is great accompaniment to a Central American meal. One of the unique offerings on the menu are Salvadoran pupusas. The pupusas have a choice of fillings (cheese, veggies, or chicharrones,) and are a relative rarity on Santa Fe menus. But we both went for the Blue Corn Enchilada plate, my choice chicken and green chile, my husband’s beef and red chile.) The plates are served with ample helpings of posole, Spanish rice and refried beans with a tart Salvadoran Crema, a nice contrast to the hot chile sauces. Shredded lettuce and sliced tomato come with the meal, but you can ask for curtado (shredded and brined cabbage, onion, carrot and jalapeno) served on the side. My blue corn enchilada came covered in delicious green chile sauce and lots of melted cheese. Both of our enchiladas, rice and beans were done just right and very tasty. We sat in a booth by the window in a roomy dining room, quiet and conducive to conversation (68 dB). Prices are reasonable. Great local place to try. ================================ Red Enchilada Sunday, October 16, 2022 9:30 am 5 stars Red Enchilada, easily accessible on Osage Avenue just off Cerrillos, has been in business in Santa Fe for 19 years yet remains undiscovered by many. The menu is New Mexican with a Salvadorian influence. The cozy neighborhood atmosphere was welcoming on a rainy Sunday morning in October. Ordered the Super Combo Breakfast with green chile topped scrambled eggs, carne adovada, refried beans and potatoes. All was tasty, though the green chile and the carne adovada sauces could have been hotter. Also ordered Los Amigos, two poached eggs and spinach swimming in mild red chile sauce, with three rashers of (somewhat dry) bacon and potatoes. The serving was ample though the red chile sauce was not as spicy and hot as others in Santa Fe. The hot chocolate was especially sweet and delicious. The wait staff was warm and friendly as well as solicitous of our comfort. We watched a few minutes of an international soccer game on one of two TV screens, which was different and fun. Our SoundCheck app rates the sound level as Moderate (63 Db). All in all a very positive experience. Red Enchilada is definitely worth a visit.
