About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
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!

    Great service and food! We had a great server - she was professional, informative, and responsive. We had the special scallop and mackerel tapas - they were excellent. We also did a Sherry flight! It is a very tight fit in the restaurant, but we loved the energy. Highly recommend!

    La Boca is always a treat. The tapas were excellent. The service couldn’t have been better. I will continue coming here as Spanish tapas are a bit scarce out here. The prices were a bit of a shock.
