Santa Fe

This has become one of my favorite places to eat. Great food, always full of happy regulars, and everyone that works there is a gem.

We have eaten here over the years and we find that some dishes are superb and some are not as great. The fresh fish of the day was excellently prepared...the fish tacos, not so much. Overall, it is a quiet, sweet place to eat and we will continue to go back.

The salsa was from a jar. The chips from a bag. The fish in the fish tacos was frozen. And so on with the rest of our food. It seemed like everything was prepared elsewhere and assembled at the restaurant. The service was fine and staff was very nice.

My wife and I have been coming here for years (and years) and long ago stumbled upon the burger. Who orders a burger at a Tex Mex place right? We do, because it is outrageously good. Every time we think, "It can't be as good as we remember it." but then IT IS. We've brought friends to see if we are delusional but they've also loved the burger. The enchilda suizas are excellent as well. We've always found the service to be warm and low key and we are always greeted with a smile.

I've been coming here for a year since I got fed up with another restaurant. The food is very good, and generally service is prompt. Once in a while they seem overwhelmed despite the fact the place isn't packed, I think they may be understaffed. The guac is on the expensive side but that's because it's almost entirely avocado (like it should be) instead of mostly tomatoes and onions like a lot of other places. Drinks are good and strong. Can't recommend it highly enough.

My friend and I decided to finally try Santa Fe the other night for dinner after walking by it many, many times. It was after our meal that we realized why we stick to places that we know well - our experience was disappointing! So bad, in fact, that I felt compelled to write about it. First of all, $10 guacamole? Had it been good, I wouldn't have cared as much, but it was mediocre at best. My friend ordered the quesadilla appetizer as her main dish and said it was fine, but nothing special. My Santa Fe dinner salad was barely edible - the 'vegetables' looked like they could have easily been purchased at a gas station (wilted, brown-spotted lettuce, unpeeled carrot sticks, mushy tomatoes, all haphazardly thrown together on a plate), and the dressing, which I asked to have on the side, was of a weird consistency and was completely flavorless. My recommendation if you're in the mood for something Mexican - head up the street instead.

My fiancee and I recently dined at Santa Fe and found quite a gem in our new neighborhood. We started out with some guacamole and two of their new frozen agave margarita's which were tart and sweet. For dinner I had the Chipotle Shrimp and he had the Skirt Steak special. The food was fresh and full of flavor, and the service was very friendly. We plan to make this a regular hang out. I highly recommend it!
