This was our second time to Santa Fe and I wish we had found this place on our first trip. The food is so delicious and has incredible flavor. The staff is friendly and are passionate about what they do. Every dish we tried was delicious and offered a unique taste. Definitely the first food place to try when visiting Santa Fe. I will definitely be back!

Excellent food and excellent service! Our server was fast and very friendly. We loved it so much we took our friends there 2 days later. They loved it too. Pili pili shrimp, Moroccan lamb stew, lentil stew, coconut cream pie, rum pecan pie, flourless chocolate cake...one tiny drawback is that it's impossible to get in without a reservation. Will be back next year!

Excellent service, fabulous food. It is more expensive and different than normal American fare from chain restaurants but completely worth it. We went to Jambo on the advice of the locals. Sadly the restaurant was out of coconuts, so no coconut milk to drink. However, the food was delicious, there is just not enough words to describe it. Our servers were so friendly and helpful! The wait staff and cooks were especially vigilant with the food prep with allergy concerns in mind, taking care to avoid even accidental cross contamination.

I'm assuming you're talking about the Albuquerque location? It's not. Jambo is at 1105 Juan Tabo.
