Experts' Choice Award The Shed
What the experts agree on
Historic 1692 adobe hacienda famous for smoky red chile and authentic Pueblo-Hispanic recipes in vibrant, colorful rooms. Locals queue even at lunch—a Downtown Santa Fe institution near the plaza.
“The long lines, even at lunch, are proof enough that this local institution half a block from the plaza is something special.”
– Frommer's
Fodor's "The lines at lunch attest to the status of this Downtown New Mexican eatery." Full review
Lonely Planet "Superconvenient to the Plaza and with a fun ambience. The food, however, is seriously overrated, aiming straight for the perceived middle-of-the-road tourist palate. There's a nice patio." Full review

Afar Magazine "In a 1692 adobe hacienda with brightly colored walls and a pretty courtyard, the Shed is deservedly famous for its smoky chile, just-hefty-enough blue corn tortillas, and classic recipes. " Full review
Travel + Leisure "The 1692 adobe hacienda is divided into nine unique rooms filled with Rivera-style artwork and accents of red, blue, and yellow. Locals come to the Shed for the red chile" Full review
Travel + Leisure "Dine at The Shed for a timeless take on New Mexican cuisine in a bright, exciting atmosphere"
The Infatuation "The sharp green chile stew at The Shed might just be Santa Fe’s best. While there are plenty of restaurants in town asking the official state question, “red or green?” both are stellar..." Full review
Independent "For classic New Mexican dishes – enchiladas, chiles rellenos (green chillies stuffed with cheese, battered, and fried), and tamales – try The Shed"
