This quirky, always-packed adobe compound consists of several inviting rooms, from a diner-style space with counter seating to a cozier nook with a fireplace—there's also an enchanting courtyard out back with juniper trees and flower gardens. The varied menu of contemporary diner favorites, pizzas, New Mexican fare, and bountiful salads is supplemented by a long list of daily specials. Favorites include smoked-chicken quesadillas and grilled-salmon tacos with tomatillo salsa and black beans. Desserts here are a revelation, from the chocolate pudding to the blueberry cobbler.

I don't want to bash a restaurant in my hometown, but I have had several meals at Harry's over the past year. I eat there because in the past I have had some mixed experiences but mostly because it is close to my house and convenient. This evening I had my LAST meal at this place; overpriced ($11 enchilada...you have to be kidding me), the now famous Harry's "what will you do for me" service attitude and always a wait....even when there are open tables? I have friends that also live in the area and even though it is about the ONLY convenient restaraunt in the area, refuse to go back. This place is all about location because it wouldn't make it anywhere else in town where there are choices of where to eat.

How can such a dive get so many rave reviews? Food was poorly prepared and quite COLD when served. Service was so-so. Atmosphere was..... where was it? Atmosphere = no atmosphere? Menu itself was enough to put us off. Come on now.... Santa Fe MUST have better to offer than this.

We have neighbors from New York, who, when they remodeled their kitchen, ate at Harry's almost every day—and liked almost every meal. It is a wonderful restaurant on the outskirts of Santa Fe. They have a very eclectic menu: Mexican, hamburgers, meatloaf, Moroccan, Mediterranean, and wonderful specials. We order something different almost every time we go there—often the specials, if they sound good—and are almost always pleased with our meal. I would mention that their New Mexican food is tasty with mild-to-medium "heat."
Service is friendly, and in the summertime, the outside patio is a great place to eat—or drink a good margarita. Breakfasts, lunches and dinners are all good. As an added bonuses their food is very reasonably priced.

We live near Harry's and have gone three for years but the tourist are now showing up and the waits are longer (45 minutes), the service is poor (large turnover of help) and the owner (Harry) can be more than rude at times. We have decided it is time to find a better place to eat even if it means driving into Santa Fe.
