Gabriel's used to be very special. But, sadly, it has declined. A lot. Instead of feeling like an oasis tucked away just outside of Santa Fe, it feels like a dusty pit-stop. The waitstaff is ardent, but untrained. There aren't any special details that would make it worth stopping. So, don't waste a meal at Gabriel's. Keep on driving... somewhere else.

I have been going to La Cocina for years - generally for breakfast but also for lunch and dinner. The Huevos Los Arcos - traditional American breakfast smothered with the best red chile in the area and served with outstanding breakfast meats especially their thick sliced ham steak. Also can add the traditional red chile marinated carne adovada by ordering the Huevos La Cocina or light fluffy pancakes by ordering Javier's Breakfast. Specialty Blue Corn Pancakes with Piñon nuts can be ordered. Do not miss the traditional New Mexican favorite, Atole, which is a blue corn porridge. Lunch features cup to large bowls of traditional southwestern soups such as Arroz con Pollo - chicken with rice, Posole - pork with hominy, and an outstanding Green Chile Stew. Dinner is represented by a large menu of Southwestern, American, and Lite entres. The atmosphere is quite pleasant. The service is prompt and friendly. Despite this restaurant's stylish presentation, its prices are typical for area. Beer and wine are available.

We enjoyed everything about our lunch...delicious food, extensive menu, friendly and efficient staff. Topping it off, we liked the historic and charming building. Itâs one of those unique places where Iâd like to dine every day for a couple of weeks.
