Red Enchilada, easily accessible on Osage Avenue just off Cerrillos, has been in business in Santa Fe for 19 years yet remains undiscovered by many. The menu is New Mexican with a Salvadorian influence. The cozy neighborhood atmosphere was welcoming on a rainy Sunday morning in October. Ordered the Super Combo Breakfast with green chile topped scrambled eggs, carne adovada, refried beans and potatoes. All was tasty, though the green chile and the carne adovada sauces could have been hotter. Also ordered Los Amigos, two poached eggs and spinach swimming in mild red chile sauce, with three rashers of (somewhat dry) bacon and potatoes. The serving was ample though the red chile sauce was not as spicy and hot as others in Santa Fe. The hot chocolate was especially sweet and delicious. The wait staff was warm and friendly as well as solicitous of our comfort. We watched a few minutes of an international soccer game on one of two TV screens, which was different and fun. Our SoundCheck app rates the sound level as Moderate (63 Db). All in all a very positive experience. Red Enchilada is definitely worth a visit.
Note: If you pay with a credit card there is a three percent service charge

We had huevos rancheros for lunch. We were traveling, and our dog was with us. The server delivered our order to the car, without being asked. We appreciated the kind service & hot food.

Surprised visit proved to be an outstanding place to eat. Excellent experience with great food. Looking forward to go eat there again.

Breakfast, service was pretty decent, food was also decent. Nothing exemplary but not bad. Restaurant is not very clean, but some of my favorite hole in the wall joints are that way. I’m thinking 3 1/2 stars. I would return, maybe try something else.

This has been our go-to dive for the last decade. The food is good, the space unpretentious and the staff is always super nice. Don't expect elegant dining here, but if you're looking for good Salvadoran and New Mexican food at an awesome price, you won't be disappointed.
