Ate here last night and enjoyed it very much. The restaurant is not fancy in any way however the food is very good and the service great. Would definitely recommend for an authentic Mexican meal. The enchilada mole was outstanding.

Just got home from an afternoon of in town errands and a really nice meal at Mucho Gusto. Hard to believe that this little gem has eluded me for all the years I've lived near Santa Fe. Spotlessly clean, prompt and efficient service and really great food. Don't go expecting pretentious, overly full of themselves, Fanta Se egotists and foodies,... More

My wife recommended this tiny, quaint restaurant off-the-beaten track in Santa Fe. Not too hard to find but worth the effort. Friendly service but the food was just so fresh, delicious, plenty of it with just the most subtlime flavors. I had 'the bomb' which was stuffed Chicken breast with the most wonderful creamy, cheesy sauce slathed all over it.... More

Our recent and most magical culinary tour of Santa Fe began at this place. The bar was set high for the rest of the trip. And speaking of bars, my wife had a sangria or two and they were spot on. The spiritless staff at the pretentious and thoroughly overrated La Boca tapas bar on Marcy could learn a few... More

Mucho Gusto was recommended by our hotel. We were told it might be hard to find so you need to be on the lookout for it. There is a large sign out front but then drive to the back of the building to find the restaurant. The restaurant has a few small rooms with several tables in each room. We... More

Had a great dinner at this nice little restaurant. Green chile was excellent and they ad lots of gluten free options for my gluten free husband. My picky chile even liked her kids plate.

We wanted a cheap meal since we were saving our expensive night for tomorrow. Dinner was good, enchiladas mole was delish and the bomb was supper heavy but good as well. Agave wine margaritas were very good.

The Chicken Bomb lives up to it's name! Also, the veggie burrito and quesadilla are amazing as well. The wait staff was friendly and service was fast even when it was busy.

Great little place off the plaza. Very unassuming but the flavors are great! We loved the sangria, not too sweet and not too acidic, in fact my husband tried mine and then ordered his own. He had The Bomb, which was recommended by a local artist. This stuffed chicken breast was flavor filled with dried tomatoes, mushrooms and chilies and... More

As others have said, this restaurant feels almost like it is in a secret location. It's very close to downtown, but you have to look for it. It's worth a visit though. If you want Mexican Food in Santa Fe, I think this place is SO much better than the often praised The Shed. I've had a number of items... More
