This was lots of fun on a Wednesday evening when they have open mike and pick up groups playing blues. The music was the best part. Â Very friendly customers some of the women asked me to dance, and I did. Great bar maid, good drinks. Came for the music and enjoyed the whole experience.
Review Source:Tiny's is one of those places that harkens to the days of supper clubs with ambiance and wonderful food. The Northern New Mexican cuisine is as fine as you'll find anywhere in this state. The wait staff of helpful, friendly and enjoyable to be around. Try their homemade chips with their homemade guacamole followed by the homemade chili relleno or those amazing homemade chicken guacamole tacos. It's also a fun place for live music and even trying one's hand a karaoke. I have to give this unique place that has served Santa Feans and visitors for three generations my highest rating for all those reasons above, plus, hey, there is even plenty of free parking. I love this place and I even like owner J.R. a lot too!
Review Source:I was really looking forward to checking this place out for a friend's birthday bash...and although it was awesome to see a lot of people, the prices were ridiculously expensive for not even being a bar right on the plaza. I know cheaper bars that are within walking distance to everything near the plaza...and I'd rather sick to them.
Review Source:You can't get more local than Tiny's. Â Think old time supper club / bar environment. Â Apparently it even turns into a dance floor / club some nights. Â We were there on a Monday night, my last meal in New Mexico (sniff) so I went all out with an enchilada plate. Â If you're local you know to say "Christmas" when they ask what kind of chile you want. Â The staff was really friendly here and there was memorabilia all over the walls with all of Tiny's long history in Santa Fe. Â It's now operated by the third generation of the same family, and it's unfortunate that they fell upon hard times and had to move to a strip mall instead of in the more central plaza area. Â Hopefully yelp reviews and good ratings in travel guides will keep them in business. Â My food was delicious and a perfect last meal - just enough spice to the chile, gooey cheese melting everywhere, soaked up by yummy rice and a side of posole, and fluffy, buttery sopas for dessert. Â I am seriously going through chile withdrawal!
Review Source:Tiny's is always a great time. Â I have been coming here since I was a kid and I love the atmosphere and the food. Â I am a chile Fanatic and even though I live in NY now I am a true Santa Fean at heart so I need my chile fix when I'm home and going to Tiny's is exactly where I get it!
Review Source:Sadly Tiny"s has receded into the backwaters of Santa Fe, and caters now only to local drunks and troublemakers. Used to be a good place to dance and have a burger. Â No more, with Police and contentious issues there now the rule. Depending on the bartender, it can be OK, but often the motif is to service regular local drunks and forget the rest. Very prejudicial, especially for Anglos.
Review Source:I WON'T BE BACK.  Okay, the service is friendly but not very good. The food - I ordered the famous chicken guacamole tacos.  The first order was completely incorrect (ground beef,) the correction missing a title ingredient  - no guacamole but it did have a HAIR which I removed before sending it back a third time.  They charged for a little - and I mean little - green chilie instead of salsa. Â
So here is my main complaint, does the waiter not check the order before delivering it to the table?? And, when I ask for a second napkin, it would be nice to get it with the meal, not the bill...
Don't go; for all this and two beers w/ tip my bill was almost 30 Bucks.
I won't be back.
I have to say that there are few places that feel like "home" to me in the way that Tiny's does. Â It has a very bygone Santa Fe feeling in the bar (only sit in the bar if you can help it), and has been fairly tried and true from the first time I went there with my family some 20 years ago. Â Live music is a great plus, and great margaritas, as well as good standard New Mexican food without having to pay a pricey bill, or be overrun with tourists. Â The flautas are very good, btw, and unless they changed something, they are not deep fried.
Review Source:Yelp Helps!
Tiny's of Santa Fe has made the Esquire list of best bars in America.
I did the first Yelp review of Tiny's, giving them five stars in 2007.
Tiny's is very near the heart of the City of Santa Fe--it's just not in the Plaza area where it started out decades ago. At Tiny's Restaurant and Lounge on Pen Road off Cerrillos, next to the Crossroads Mall, there is plenty of space to park your vehicle and dance till you drop.
Loved Jeanne d.'s review. Â This place is the definition of a Santa Fe spot that really only locals know about. Â It's tucked away is a non-desrcript strip mall and you'd never guess what great food they have or what a fun place it can be. Â I usually end up in the bar, big surprise there, and enjoy one of the better margaritas in town while waiting for some really tasty food. Â I honestly think this little place turns out some of the best New Mexican food in town but if you're not in the mood they also do a very good job with the standard steaks, chops, & some comfort food options. Â All set to live music on many nights and served up by some of the friendliest staff in town. Â You should check it out - just don't tell any of the locals I sent you. Â You may not run into any celebs but you'll have a great meal and a great time. Â Now that I think of it though, this is not typically a young crowd, so if you're looking for that, this place is not full of a bunch of 20 somethings.
