El Nido was on my foodie list when we moved to Santa Fe however, with Covid 19 restaurant dining became too risky for me. I am really thankful that I saved El Nido for a time when I could have gone in to dine. It’s located in the village of Tesque off the beaten path of downtown Santa Fe and it really gives a warm welcoming feel to diners. The customer service was great in every aspect from the host to the prompt and efficient customer service. The food was superb and indulgent without feeling too heavy and at a price point that did not seem ridiculous. I am definitely looking forward to revisiting and trying some more offerings from their menu.
