About Santa Fe Taqueria

Santa Fe Taqueria is a Mexican restaurant that offers a variety of dishes such as steak tacos, horchata, carne asada torta, and al pastor super burrito. The steak tacos are known for their tender and smoky meat, while the carne asada torta is made with real Mexican cheese and well-cooked meat. The al pastor super burrito is generously sized and the al pastor meat is highly praised. The restaurant offers two options for salsa. The atmosphere is very clean and spacious, making it a great place for Mexican food. The horchata is particularly noteworthy, and the food is made to order, which may take about 15 minutes. Portions are small but well-made, with some reviews mentioning that the burrito can be juicy and flavorful, though others feel the portions are a bit dry or small. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the restaurant often features daily taqueria specials due to its connection with Santa Fe Grocery Store. The location is on a busy street, which can make parking difficult, and some customers find the area less appealing, describing it as similar to a run-down part of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Prices are on the higher side, and some reviews suggest that the atmosphere and food quality may not meet everyone’s expectations, with comparisons to other restaurants like Chevys Union City. Overall, it remains a solid choice for Mexican food and meeting friends for lunch.
