Mucho Gusto - Santa Fe

Yummy food, great service. Lamb mushroom burrito the bomb and rice pudding. All delicious but the bomb is the bomb.

Although my husband and I have coming to SF at least once a year for several years, we only recently discovered this hidden gem! Had dinner for the 2nd time last night and it was just as delicious as the first time. Food was delicious (I had the seafood taco special and my husband had beef carnitas yum! and the server was so friendly and welcoming. Cozy, relaxed environment. We will make a point of visiting again the next time we're in town!

We stopped by for lunch. I really enjoyed looking at their wall art and the large molcajete. The restaurant is following CDC guidelines. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. I ordered their seafood tacos which had shrimp and fish served over corn tortillas. They’re served with beans, rice, and a vegetable medley. Veggies looked fresh. I also enjoyed the flan de almendra for dessert. It was simple (as I believe it should be) and delicious. The other picture below is of the chicken enchiladas with Suiza sauce.

Have you ever been served chicken and cheese enchiladas without being wrapped in a tortilla? Well, I have, and it happened at Mucho Gusto. Yuck!

I had a similar experience to other reviewers, so I won't go into detail. I was hesitant about the restaurant when I saw the sign pointing to an alley that looked run-down compared to the rest of the city. The window by the entrance displayed old Trip Advisor awards from 2010, with the newest one from 2017. The interior was cramped and reminded me of a shabby hotel from a cartoon. The service was slow and my soda was flat. The food was bland and overpriced. I ordered chicken quesadillas but got fajitas with little meat and flour tortillas, which is not typical at Hispanic restaurants in Arizona. Overall, the experience was disappointing and I couldn't help but think of a customer's comment that it was a "hidden gem" - hidden for a reason, perhaps.
