SIMPLE INGREDIENTS. HONEST COOKING. UNPARALLELED AMBIANCE. At El Nido we present exceptional ingredients from sources we know and trust. Our menu follows classic cooking with intelligent innovation. Wood-fired pizza, steaks and seafood cooked on the Argentine grill along with homemade pastas are the basis for our food. Our seasonal craft cocktails and Sommelier procured wine list compliment our diverse selections.
With many options we are sure you will find amazing ambiance in this historic building. You can enjoy the relaxed vibe of the Zozobra Bar or dine al fresco on our beautiful covered patio during the temperate Santa Fe summers. In the colder months you can keep warm and enjoy one of three fireplaces in our dining rooms, or dine at our Chef's Counter and view our open flame grilling. Something for everyone. We hope to see you soon, come relax and enjoy the best hospitality and ambiance in Tesuque!

    Food was excellent and service was outstanding. The manager did a great job handling an unruly guest. We love this place and the manager.

    We participated in restaurant week and ordered a bottle of delicious Pinot Noir. All 6 courses were delightfully and deliciously prepared. And the wine was a lovely accompaniment. Three different servers took care of us and all provided cheerful and timely service. No complaints! We look forward to returning to El Nido in the near future

    After dining at a number of different restaurants for restaurant week 2025, this was our favorite. The food was very flavorful for the price, while some of the other restaurants were more expensive and less pleasing to the palate.

    It was a birthday for my husband who turned 92. Everyone was professional and interested in his comfort and congratulated him on his day. We will certainly return.

    The food was good as was the service unfortunately the ambience was of a cavernous cafeteria with no music no fire no flowers and nothing warm to serve good food in such an awful atmosphere defies logic. We would not go back.
