Santa Fe’s COVID 19 Dining Guide

Where to eat in The City Different – while everything is different.

September 29, 2020

There’s no doubt that COVID has been hard on all of us, including our local restaurants.

While restrictions are still in place, there are still some great dine-out options in Santa Fe thanks to a thriving local food scene that’s dedicated to serving our community. So take a break from cooking at home and support the local businesses that help keep this community fed. Eat well friends, and don’t forget your mask!

Freezie Fresh

2860 Cerrillos Rd.

Is there anything better than a sweet treat from the ice cream truck? Santa Fe’s only Thai-style rolled ice cream vendor Freezie Fresh serves up incredible flavors like honey lavender, piñon coffee, or their newest seasonal flavor “Apple Crumble Allspice Berry (ACAB)! And no need to despair if you just can’t with the lactose, they have dairy-free and vegan options too. Catch them in the Big 5 parking lot on Cerrillos, and check their Facebook for open hours.
