Skip to the front of the famously long lines to savor authentic New Mexican flavors with a seated luncheon at one of Santa Fe’s most beloved generational eateries. Enjoy award-winning chile, top-shelf Margaritas, artisan confections and our rich local history on this flavorful journey.

Led by a formally trained culinary expert, this immersive lunch tour explores the origins and evolution of NM’s distinct cuisine through a guided comparative tasting that highlights the key differences between Mexican and New Mexican flavors. To elevate the experience, we’ll celebrate Santa Fe’s status as the Margarita Capital of America with a top-shelf margarita pairing for each course, showcasing different styles and expressions of this iconic cocktail.

After indulging in a feast of local flavors, we’ll finish on a sweet note with a locally inspired dessert at Santa Fe’s premier craft ice creamery.

    Come hungry with an open pallet & curiosity about the area’s culture and history. Lauren and her vivacious personality was the highlight of the tour. While all the food was delicious, Lauren added the most desirable ’flavor’ to the whole experience.

    Lauren honored our reservation even though our group did not meet the minimum number required. The tour was informative and she shared lots of information about our food in a fun way! The enchiladas, margaritas and ice cream were delicious and more than enough for lunch! What a fun way to spend a couple hours! We would highly recommend this tour and Lauren as your guide!

    Lauren was great! Really enjoyed the tour learning the history. Her chef background was an extra special perk to learning about the food and preparation techniques. She gave us extra tips on things to do and places to go during our trip too. Thank you for a great experience!

  • Highly recommend!!
