Tiny’s Restaurant & Lounge

Great drinks and consistently good food. Live entertainment and dancing later in the evening is always fun. Also a great local place to catch the game. Ample safe parking is provided.

A waiter in another restaurant recommended Tiny’s when we asked about bars and restaurants with entertainment. My wife and I went and had a great time. It is a local spot, but the staff was extremely welcoming to us out-​of-​owners. Two waitresses stopped by our table often and were pleased to explain the variations in local cuisine… Native New Mexican influence vs. Spanish influence etc. They could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Made for a very enjoyable experience.
The food was great. Unlike one of the other reviews, I would not have called it «pricey» considering the number of items on the dish and the quantity. I enjoyed the combination dinner. My wife went for their «world famous chicken fajitas». Both were good.
Local crowd was having a good time doing karaōke. Not usually my style, but we had fun watching them. Checking out the schedule, we found that they had a variety of entertainment, including jazz, on various nights of the week.

Wonderful staff, good food, and relaxed atmosphere. Lunch with friends here is always excellant.

Owner is awesome staff are friendly. Music and food is fantastic. Beer is cold!!! I go on Wednesdays for electric jam awesome players. My favorite place.

One of the only joints left in town without pretentious prices and drinks. The cheeseburger was very good.

Hellllloooooo Tourists! And welcome to Santa Fe! Ok so… Tiny’s lounge. It’s a local establishment that’s been around forever and although the owner is a crotchety old fart it is a nice place to go for drinks and good food.
The prices are a bit high but hey… Welcome to Santa Fe. They do have THE BEST burger in the state. The chili rellenos are AMAZING and the nachos are to die for! You need to order them with carne adovada and layered! I just finished a plate right now! 09÷04÷14
Hellen and Sofia are fantastic bartenders serving up great drinks, good service and fun personality!
They offer a variety of entertainment throughout the week, open mic night, jam sessions with a band and a live band usually every Friday, no cover but they make up for it on the drink prices.
I am Anglo and from out of state and have never experienced any animosity like a previous Unilocaler stated.
I Recommend checking it out!

Been going to TIny’s since I was 21 and am now 60. The food is good. The drinks are good. The staff are good. I love the place and wouldn’t go anywhere else regularly. JR is attentive to customer needs. Tom Dillon

Tinys is always fun, enjoy the family atmosphere and the fresh homemade salsa is great. We’ve been there quite a few times and whether it’s date night, or family dinner, Tinys alway delivers!

Serving Santa Fe since1950. Family owned and operated for 65 years. Santa Fe’s «Best kept secret» Travel & Leisure. Award winning Fajitas. «The chile Rellenos are the best in Santa Fe» Connisuier Magazine. The kind of place you’re happy to find when you’re looking for a nice local place to go have fun.

Margarita was so so. On sweet side with mix I think… No food avail 2pm to 5pm, not even chips salsa –nothing. Service was great tho, even though bartender-​only.

There was just nothing redeeming about this place. Unless you count the drunk chick semi-​mooning people (she was wearing pantyhose) at the bar, there was really no upside. I didn’t count the semi-​mooning as an upside, but far be it for me to deny others who might enjoy the show.
ANYWAY, the food was bad, the atmosphere was dark and depressing, and my margarita was super sweet, had absolutely no bite, and appeared to be lacking any alcohol.
The server was nice.

Tiny’s is a great local place with wonderful service. But the topper is the chicken fried steak with a mild green chili gravy which is their special on Thursdays. Freshly made. Omg I’m drooling just writing about it.

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. 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.

If you find that you’ve been a bit too chipper or cheery lately, stop in to Tinys and get back to reality. Nothing like a few minutes at this place to make you want slightly suicidal. I went a few weeks ago to see a «band.» It wasn’t like torture, it WAS torture.

I love this place! Visit every time I come to Santa Fe. Great New Mexican food, excellent service and I love the live music!

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.

You can’t get more local than Tiny’s. Think old time supper club /​bar environment. Apparently it even turns into a dance floor /​club some nights. We were there on a Monday night, my last meal in New Mexico (sniff) so I went all out with an enchilada plate. If you’re local you know to say «Christmas» when they ask what kind of chile you want. The staff was really friendly here and there was memorabilia all over the walls with all of Tiny’s long history in Santa Fe. 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. Hopefully Unilocal reviews and good ratings in travel guides will keep them in business. 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. I am seriously going through chile withdrawal!

Tiny’s is always a great time. I have been coming here since I was a kid and I love the atmosphere and the food. 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!

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. 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.

Loved Jeanne d.‘s review. This place is the definition of a Santa Fe spot that really only locals know about. 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. 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. 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. All set to live music on many nights and served up by some of the friendliest staff in town. You should check it out — just don’t tell any of the locals I sent you. You may not run into any celebs but you’ll have a great meal and a great time. 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.
