A few years later, the restaurant moved into its present location inside a 100-year-old train depot.
This station was the starting point for the Chili Line's 125-mile journey from Santa Fe into Antonito, Colorado.

Officially known as the Guadalupe Station of the Santa Fe Branch, it transported food, lumber, and other goods between the two states. The station was built in 1904 and operated until the railroad ended operations in 1941.
Tomasita's moved into the station in 1979 and has been in the same location since.
