Once the dinner hour’s past at this venerable Spanish restaurant (dating to the 1830’s, it’s Santa Fe’s oldest), the amber-lit, beamed dining room fills up with fans of live music. The live entertainment here ranges from kickin' rockabilly to velvety jazz to fiery flamenco—all of it top-notch. There's a long list of Spanish wines and sherries to choose from, but do as the locals do and order a pitcher of excellent sangria filled with chunks of fresh fruit.
