“ We had an awesome date night here the other night. The food was delicious and I loved that you could get a small or large portion. The drink menu was extensive. And the presentation of the food and the relaxing environment made it feel like a special date night. Plus the prices are super reasonable compared to other nice but still casual spots in town. You could really just come here for tasty take out or you could come for a nice evening. Oh and the sriracha fish and chips was excellent!! ”
“ Jinja Bar & Bistro was an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. We started with cocktails that were perfectly balanced—refreshing and strong in all the right ways. The star of the meal was definitely the Pad Thai! Flavorful, perfectly cooked noodles, and just the right amount of heat. We also tried a few appetizers and everything was fresh and delicious. The service was friendly and attentive, and the entire experience was top-tier. Highly recommend if you’re in Santa Fe and craving something flavorful with great vibes! ”

“ We had a large catering order and Jinja went above and beyond from start to finish!! Gustavo was accommodating, responsive and ensured everything went perfectly. We had a transportation snag on our end and Gustavo and his team went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. The food was incredible and we will absolutely be using Jinja again. ”

“ Second time at Jinja and it was as delicious as the first. Prompt and personable service. The Jinja Bowl and Rice paper wrapped halibut were very good. Tried the lettuce wraps tonight also very nice. We appreciated that you have a choice of small portion or large portion for your meal. Love Jinja Bar & Bistro. ”
“ Our first time here at Jinja and we loved it. The service was fast, friendly and the food was delicious. I got the teriyaki chicken meal, my partner got the Land and Sea (steak and shrimp) and our son got the orange chicken from the kids menu. We all left very satisfied and will be back again! ”
“ I love this restaurant. A friend that I met at my gymnasium is the manager. He always seemed to be surveying the restaurant to make sure all of the patrons were enjoying their meals. I just heard the other day that Gene Hackman did some of the paintings on the walls. The food, of course, is always excellent. Every time I have been there it's always been a great experience. If you come to Santa Fe or live here you should try it. ”
