La Boca
New Mexico
La Boca brings modern Spanish cooking to Santa Fe through chef James Campbell Caruso's seasonal menu. Opened in 2006, it combines Spanish and Mediterranean influences with local New Mexico ingredients, serving tapas in a lively wine-bar setting. Spanish wine and sherry are central to the experience. The list ranges from dry fino to richer Pedro Ximénez, with staff helping diners match bottles to the food. The separate Taberna dining room has a stage for live music and a patio, and can be arranged for private lunches and dinners. Wine seminars and pairing dinners add another way to explore the restaurant's Spanish focus.
