This family-owned and operated restaurant has been a staple in Santa Fe's dining scene for decades. Casual and inviting, La Choza is as revered for its enjoyable New Mexican cooking as it is for its generous portions and reasonable prices. Seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis, so show up early or expect to wait for a seat. Tamales, burritos, posole, enchiladas and stuffed sopapillas are just some of the offerings; try one of their combo plates to sample a variety, including a pork tamale covered Christmas-style, beef burrito and cheese enchilada accompanied by pozole and beans. Finish with a slice of creamy, half-frozen mocha cake, made with dark chocolate and topped with a dollop of house-made whipped cream.
