Best Thai Food in Santa Fe
Santa Fe, New Mexico — updated August 22, 2026
Santa Fe has only a handful of Thai kitchens, split between Old Santa Fe Trail, the southside and San Felipe Avenue. Here is how the three compare on ratings, hours and what they are known for.

Thai food in Santa Fe is a short list, not a scene: three kitchens, none of them downtown-adjacent in the tourist sense, spread from Old Santa Fe Trail to the Zafarano corridor on the south side. The ratings gap between them is wide, so the order below follows the numbers rather than proximity to the Plaza. Two of the three keep early closing times, which matters more here than anywhere else on the list.
1. Bo's Authentic Thai
The highest-rated Thai kitchen in town, at 4.7, though that comes from 125 reviews, so call it strong rather than settled. Bo's runs a daytime schedule from 502 Old Santa Fe Trail: 11 to 6 Monday through Friday and 11 to 5:30 on Saturday, which makes it a lunch destination rather than a dinner one. Papaya salad is on the menu every day, and weekly specials have included pineapple curry alongside it. Orders go through the phone line, 505-310-5826, so it is worth calling ahead if you are arriving near closing.
2. Thai on Canyon
A steady 4.0 across 209 reviews, the largest sample behind a decent score among Santa Fe's Thai restaurants, which makes it the safest bet of the three. The menu is deliberately short, which reviewers treat as a feature rather than a limitation; stir-fried chicken comes up often, and the strongest thing on the drinks list is Thai iced tea. The address is 1291 San Felipe Ave, not Canyon Road, so set your directions accordingly. Hours listed by the restaurant run 11:30 to 2:30 and again 4 to 8:30 daily, with a break in between. Ordering is available online through its Menufy page.
3. Thai Cafe & Noodle Treats
Included because it is one of only three Thai options in Santa Fe, not because the reviews recommend it: the rating sits at 3.2 across 397 reviews, the largest sample in this guide and the lowest score. The menu is the broadest of the three, running through soups, salads, noodle dishes, stir-fried rice, curries and desserts, and there are half-pan portions sized for about five people if you are feeding a group. It is at 3482 Zafarano Dr on the south side. Yelp lists an 11:30 am opening Monday through Saturday, though the restaurant's own posted hours differ, so call before making the drive.
