About

Market Steer Steakhouse Owner and General Manager of Market Steer Steakhouse, Kristina Goode, runs her restaurants on respect – respect for her guest, her employees, and the food – paired with a fine splash of fun. She aims to bring that same approach to Market Steer Steakhouse, which was voted the #1 Best New Restaurant by the SF Reporters Best of Santa Fe in 2019. Chef Kathleen Crook received national recognition as one of the Best Chef’s in America, when living in Aspen and opening Steakhouse 316 and was featured on Season 2 of Cooking Channel’s “Chuck’s Eat the Street.” Market Steer moved into a new location in the summer of 2024 that is the talk of the town these days. Come see what the buzz is all about!

Horno Chef David Sellers will make his return from a 10-year absence to the Santa Fe dining scene at Horno Restaurant which is slated to open June 2021. David is one of Santa Fe’s favorite chefs and there is a lot of buzz about his return to the restaurant scene of Santa Fe. Sellers was sous-chef at Santacafé for 10 years before opening Amavi in 2007. He spent the past decade spent away from Santa Fe kitchens, first in Connecticut and since 2014 at the Street Food Institute in Albuquerque. Horno will be steeped with street food influences, with a mix of Italian, Mediterranean and touches of Southeast Asia. He describes it as casual dining but with great food and great wine!

By day, a bright, intimate café. By night, a lively meeting spot for travelers and locals alike. Joe’s Tequila Bar was named in honor of our founder and long-time owner, Joe Schepps.

Our menu reflects the vibrant traditions of cultures ranging from Santa Fe though Mexico and Central America, using fresh ingredients, to craft delicious dishes made in-house daily. We pride ourselves on friendly service, delicious Pan-American food, and a curated selection of 250+ tequila, mezcal, and agave spirits.
