This is a real tourist trap, I wanted to like it but meh. The positives were the jalapeño poppers and the combination picante was good value for the price. Negatives plastic table cover and plastic cutlery cheapens the ambience, give people proper silverware. I would avoid the trout with almond and stick to Mexican food. The trout had soggy skin and the flavor combinations wasn?t hitting any home runs for me. It wasn... View all feedback.

Rancho de Chimayo offers a historic setting with a unique atmosphere for a dining experience. While the service was top-notch and the ambiance beautiful, the food quality has been inconsistent, with some dishes being described as awful. The restaurant's expansion has not lived up to its previous reputation. Despite the friendly staff and inviting atmosphere, the overall experience may not live up to the expectations set by its history. The price point, service, and atmosphere make it a nice spot for a meal, but the food quality may not always match the accolades.
