50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Santa Fe

“So unique! Very delicious !“

“The Food is great! And Everyone is so nice!“

“If you are in Santa Fe you absolutely have to visit Tres Colores! We were up there with family and friends for my dad's internment in the national cemetery. There were 13 of us that showed up for lunch without calling ahead. The space is small but they didn't even bat an eye. They quickly slid tables and chairs together and seated us. Service was excellent and the food was some of the best I've ever had. The presentation was beautiful and flavor was phenomenal. I don't think I will ever be satisfied with nachos from anywhere else. It was so well balanced. I am grateful for the hospitality they provided and will always remember this experience.“

“We are always recommending this place to our guests so we decided to check it out for ourselves and we were not disappointed. Owner brought a grande margarita that was sooo tasty. We ordered the combo plates. Huge portions and so very tasty. Tina was such a gracious host, Sopapillas were huge and lots of honey. Oh, we will definitely be returning!!“

“I am a HUGE fan. Try the chile cheese fries. They're amazing. I prefer the green chile option. The fresh fruit smoothies are delicious and refreshing. The pricing, customer service, and atmosphere are excellent. Every time I'm in Santa Fe, I make a point to stop at Andale'.“

“Best menudo ever! Best burrito mole ever! Very authentic! Well worth the trip! Would recommend this restaurant hands down!“

“The breakfast were great!“

“The food at La Choza is excellent. There are a ton of vegetarian options, and the green chiles and margaritas are delicious. We went to this restaurant 2 out of 3 days we were in Santa Fe, and if we were staying longer, we would go again. The server our second night was Luis. We had never met such an outstanding server. Luis made sure we had all the information to order something we would enjoy. He noticed that some crema was left off of my chile relleño before I even noticed, and he immediately sent some to the table. He was friendly, and when we mentioned what an excellent job he did, he said it was because he loves people. I hope you get to meet him while you are eating there!“

“Breakfast Burrito-Mixed w/ bacon, chorizo & polish sausage. MASSIVE freshly cooked burrito. all meats are always chopped, cooked all the way through to perfection. signature green salsa is delicious with a good spice kick.“

“The BEST. One of the only places I’ve found around here with real authentic MEXICAN food. Great salsas, great meat.

The tortas and very large and delicious. The bread is always soft and fresh.

And they actually put beans and rice INSIDE the burrito“

“I came up to same fe from Phoenix Arizona for a few days and decided to stop by to eat and saw this place , so I figured I stop on by and I must say I never heard of brisket nachos before but let me tell you it's so fresh and hot and was very good ! if I ever come back to Santa fe next time I will stop here again“

“Fine food, great service, very roomy space with lots of parking. Wine and beer choices are decent. Has AC cooling. Not a long wait for a table most of the time. Highly recommended. Tom.“

“This was a random stop on my way home while passing through Sante Fe and was absolutely delicious! I got a pambazo and was not disappointed. It was a huge sandwich with a side of fries. It had amazing flavor and was so big I couldn't eat it all. My teenage son finished it off for and said it was gas! I highly recommend!“

“Food service and ambiance are fantastic. Best coffee in NM ☕️“

“Ramblin' Cafe is delicious. The staff is courteous and friendly. We love the breakfast burritos.“

“Now open for lunch
2nd time dining here, first for lunch. The food and service were outstanding. We need to come back more often.
I had the Patty Melt. It was cooked exactly as requested, medium rare. Great flavor, seasoning, and moist, with the 1K dressing and cheese, grilled onions, and fantastic rye bread, this was one of the best Patty Melts I’ve had in years. My wife had the BBQ Brisket sandwitch which was even better. Not shredded brisket but a bit, solid cut of moist, smoky and tender brisket with great coleslaw on a delicious brioche bun. Don’t miss this sandwich; it is stellar. We also split a crab cake, which is often less than successful here in the City Different, but this rendition was excellent; moist, filled with crab, really excellent. Our server, Jaime, was wonderful. If you live in the city, do drive to Eldorado to eat here, you will not be disappointed.“

“great food and service 👌 🍻“

“The food was great, and the service even better! We were in a time crunch to eat and make it to an event, and we were seated immediately.“

“Taco truck had this (previous) Santa Fe local smiling. Grew up here and needed a quick breakfast taco. 2/$5 small corn tortilla with eggs bean/chili. Red salsa was perfection! If you love authentic Mexican food go here! Mom and Pop team very kind. Freshly cooked and delicious 🙏❤️“

“I go to this truck about 3 times a week. Their barbacoa tacos are some of the best I’ve had nationwide. The plates come with beans and rice not like most places in town that sell plates without the sides for the same or higher price . Best tacos on the block hands down .“

“The Fajita Burrito is the best $8 (approximately) you can spend on food in Santa Fe. They toasty-up the tortilla. The meat has next to no fat and is charred to perfection. Then they put salsa and sour cream on to it, if you want them to. You can spend $30 at these other places around the plaza and you get a fraction of the quality. An exemplary business to say the least. El Molero for life!“

“A very small restaurant with AMAZING moles! I always knew Oaxaca has various types of moles but had really only tasted a couple different styles. This establishment has at least a half dozen and all are amazing! If you like moles, you will NOT be disappointed. The only real problems are the few tables and parking can be a challenge but both are well worth the challenge. (The price was for 2)

“Always friendly staff, spacious dining areas, and great food ready to eat in just minutes!“

“A great find. We wanted to try local cuisine and happened upon Magueyes on a side street. The menu is extensive; and the server recommendations did not disappoint. The tortilla chicken soup was amazing. The chile verde was excellent! Of course the house margarita was delicious. Really a great experience.“

“Excellent food, they make their tortilla chips fresh there! We got the Asada burrito and they were nice enough to cut it in half and pack them separately for us to share. Their salsas are simple, but very flavorful. Would definitely go back again!“

“Local food truck. Torta was exactly what you want from a torta and then some. Will be coming back next time I'm in town. Any one looking for a torta, this is your place. Ate it so fast I couldn't get a pic. Ordered the barbacoa torta.“

“Great cuisine...yummy chicken tacos and quesadillas“

“Great Food, Friendly, Expedient Staff.“

“This place is pure magic! From the moment I stepped inside, I felt like I was transported to the heart of Mexico City. The food, the ambiance, everything was simply divine. It's a must-try for anyone who appreciates authentic Mexican cuisine and a touch of elegance“

“me encamtan estos tacos los recomiendo los mejores los de pastor y las salsas riquisimas“

“My husband and I stopped in this afternoon. (We didn’t realize it was right before closing) We had a job in Los Alamos and this restaurant was on our way out of town. I immediately noticed the “tamales” sign and was intrigued. I love them! So, we ordered one dozen to go as well as burrito (egg, cheese, bacon) and the chicken enchilada meal!! ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!! This was the best! I cannot wait to try the tamales. My husband devoured the burrito and was going to get another until we realized they were closed.
How kind of them to still greet us with a smile, be open to our picky ways, and deliver the best meal!! On a side note, this was literally the CLEANEST restaurant space ever. (And I worked in a restaurant) Huge shout out to your staff, the food & atmosphere! 10/10“

“Pues no le pude dar medio millon de estrellas como queria por que solo me dejan darle 5 pero si pudiera venir caminando desde Florida todos los dias para comer tacos de los de ustedes, lo haria feliz de la vida. Tremendo servicio, buenisimo ambiente y la comida? Orgəsmica de tan rica. No dejen de hacer las ricuras que hacen, vuelvo por mas y no es broma...“

“The burrito was one of the best I’ve had. The food trucks of Santa Fe are always better than the store front restaurants and that is certainly true here

The woman who served me and cooked the burrito couldn’t have been kinder - salt of the earth and thankful for places like this“

“Everything is delicious!!!“

“It was recommended to us by friends that they had the best red pork tamales, so we purchased some red pork and sweet tamales - they were some of the best we've eaten! They also have a huge selection of pan dulce (sweet bread), pastries, homemade bread and tortillas!

Parking: The parking could have been difficult because it's the holidays and almost everyone is out shopping.

Kid-friendliness: Saw a few kids there and alot of young at heart folks shopping there.“

“está muy rico y tiene variedad“

“My wife and I dined at The Pink Adobe on Tuesday, July 22, 2025. There was no wait time as we had a reservation. It was a special occasion, my wife's birthday. The ambiance was very nice; we sat inside as the music outside was a bit loud. Our waiter was very pleasant, although seemingly a bit overwhelmed. The food was very good but we were a bit shocked at the small size of the beet salad. We opted to share it and it would have been very little for one person. In addition, we were charged $8 for sharing. We were not informed about this charge ahead of ordering. We were pleasantly surprised to be served the traditional Pink Adobe apple pie as a birthday treat. All in all, it was a nice experience.“

“Awesome dining experience in Santa Fe!“

“Fantastic agua frescas, delicious rice and beans, sooo yummy salsa (I am not usually a dipper and I dipped every bite), and high quality shredded chicken quesadilla. I got a quesadilla from Fusion Tacos to compare, and this was definitely the winner.“

“I love love living by Posas. I've had just about everything on the menu and not one disappointment. Recently I ordered off their catering menu for a lil baby shower I was having, and everything was a hit, they loved the food. Even in bulk this place rocks. Can't go wrong here I've even gotten some of the frozen items they have and just as good as fresh stuff. I will forever be a fan n frequent customer. B“

“Very beautiful theme, great big drinks and the queso fundido is delicious.“

“My family and I stopped here for lunch driving through. This is a fantastic hole-in-the-wall place. Food was simply delicious 😋. We ordered almost everything on the menu to all try a little of everything. The tamales 😍. The tacos 😍. The smothered burrito 😍. Even their burger was delicious! The cookies they had was so good as well. The horchata drink was the best we ever had! Also had their veggie options which was very good. Wish this place was close to our home!“

“We went to Los Amigos after visiting Meow Wolf. Family of 4- kids 5 & 8. Tortilla chips were delicious- fresh & not greasy- salsa had a good kick but not too spicy. *Loved* the guacamole but the cheese dip was chunky- similar to Rotel melted w Velveeta. The decor was cozy & well chosen, consistent w Southwestern theme. Felt like a local eatery- best kept secret. Kids had chicken strips (2 HUGE pieces) & grilled cheese. Both were fully eaten. Mom had 2 chicken enchiladas w red sauce & Dad had a special. Both came w a sopaipilla & honey. We cleaned our plates. But the crowning glory was the massive piece of 4-layer chocolate cake. We're talking Guiness World Book level size. So big that the 4 of us couldn't finish it!!! Will be back again- no question!“
