LA BOCA SANTA FE
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 Sherries and Spanish wines. 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 customers 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 Cadiz in the crisp cool flavors of Fino, or the deep fig-essence of a Pedro Ximenez.
“I cannot begin to explain the level of inspiration I get every day seeing members of my team going above and beyond all expectations in order to make our guests experience the best it can be. I have witnessed the blood, sweat, tears, and sacrifice. The work begins very early in the morning, long before the doors are open, and ends late at night after the doors are closed. There is depth of pride, character, and determination here that the diners never see. I want to take this opportunity to thank every person who ever came to work for us. You put your heart and soul into making this restaurant great!
It is difficult to express the gratitude and humility I feel when I reflect on the extraordinary experience of La Boca. I have been fortunate to be surrounded by a loving family, an outstanding group of committed and talented staff, both past and present, and an extremely loyal and supportive community! Thank you all for the love and support over the years!”
- Chef James Campbell Caruso
Thank you, Cheryl Jamison, for the write-up in the New Mexican! You can check out the article by clicking the link below.
"Food matters, hospitality matters, the social aspects of dining out and sharing food and drink are an important part of how we interact with each other as a community. we are engaged daily in making decisions about the ingredients, preparation, freshness of meals for other people. That is a very intimate relationship that we take very seriously. We also genuinely want our guests to enjoy their time with us and with each other, so everything we do, every decision we make before our guests arrive is inextricably fused with that goal.”
Inspired by Spain and the Mediterranean, Chef Caruso’s menu changes seasonally to represent the best of our local New Mexican ingredients
