50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Santa Fe

“So unique! Very delicious !“

“beef burrito was decent. However, the lady that packed the take away did so with it slanted and all the sauce spilled out onto the paper bag. I called to speak wirh Venessa the owner but she was busy. I verified with the lady that answered that she was the one who packed the food and explained to her what had happened and she was rude. Very poor customer service.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“Fantastic food and friendly service!“

“We have only eaten at this restaurant 3 or 4 times but it is now our go to. Not only is the service excellent the atmosphere and food wonderful……so very happy to have this restaurant so near us. Thank you“

“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'.“

“Very delicious food and friendly service! The burritos are nice they have a mix of ingredients like refried beans, tomato, onion along with the meat you choose. We would definitely go back, the food tastes like it's prepared with love.“

“great food and service 👌 🍻“

“What a neighborhood gem. The vibe here is very down to earth. Everyone seems to be relaxed and having a good time. Our entree's were well presented and a 2019 bottle of Sonoma red wine was excellent and reasonably priced. We have been to Fable several times and enjoy every experience. Thanks Jessica and Paul.“

“Super kind and friendly owner. Food is delicious, and she can offer items without meat if you are vegetarian. Most customers call in and place an order for pickup, so she recommended doing the same if you don't feel like waiting (I think we waited 15-20mins for our order). Will be back again soon to try other items on the menu. I ordered the quesabirria (4 tacos, salsa, lime, and broth) and my friend ordered a quesadilla (vegetarian: potato and cheese, rice and beans on the side with salsa).“

“Great Food, Friendly, Expedient Staff.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best Tacos in the city! Highly recommend 10/10“

“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“

“Fast service and great food, will recommend 👍🏻!“

“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.“

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

“I'm visiting from out of town and was out at the animal shelter dog park and googled best food near me and this came up. At first I thought it was a brick and mortar restaurant, but it turns out to be a food truck parked in the plaza. It was a good sign when I saw a large number of Hispanic gentlemen ordering food and well I had to wait maybe 15 minutes for the six or more people in front of me. It was extremely well worth it. The food was outstanding. I had both the the barbacoa and the shrimp tacos and he made a combination plate for me of two and two. I also had the burrito but I haven't eaten that yet. Anyways, worth a detour and worth a wait. Great food! I had it to go but he has a couple little picnic tables there and he has the Coke from Mexico!“

“Coyote Cafe Rooftop Cantina is an absolute must-visit in Santa Fe! Alana and Lauren were amazing, and the service was so warm and friendly that we actually went back for a second night. The food was incredible, the service was always with a smile, and the vibe is fantastic.

If you can get a seat overlooking the street, it’s absolutely worth it—you really get to soak in the energy and atmosphere of Santa Fe.

And the food! The Frito pie and carne asada tacos were out of this world! Everything was delicious, but those two were definite standouts.

Highly recommend this place. Great food, amazing atmosphere, and an incredible team. We can’t wait to come back!“

“Everything is delicious!!!“

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

“Everything is delicious.. we love the chicken dinners... the rolled chicken tacos... the chicken Tostadas... Everything is sooo yummy... 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Literally some of the best tacos I've eaten in a long time.Reninds me of a red taco truck called El Torito I use to eat at years back.I got the carne asada tacos, the beans n rice were good salsa n chips amazing.Service was good too the young man did an amazing job. Definitely will return.“

“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!“

“Everything at Restaurant Martin is always wonderful - yesterday was especially good - and our server recommended splitting the vegetarian tasting plate for an appetizer, something we never would have thought of, and it was perfect - such a nice veggie assortment, and we also were able to order the entrees we wanted (of course, the appetizer choices will have to wait for next time!)“

“The food was absolutely phenomenal. My mom and I got the chili cheeses fries and tacos and it was the best I’ve had in a long while. 10/10, such great service“

“Visited Santa Fe today and stopped in to try this quaint little restaurant. We really liked the salsa. Everything we ordered was wonderful and tasted exquisite. Large portions as well. Wait staff was Great and very nice and really made us feel special. I would highly recommend.“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

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

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

“Food was delicious highly recommended ? the service was great and friendly amazing food for the price a ? plate it's only $12.00 with rice nad beans the burrito are great we has tacos de asada, carnitas, tripa and all were delicious ?.“

“Awesome dining experience in Santa Fe!“

“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.“

“We were driving from Rio Rancho to Red River on summer vacation when I suggested this roadside spot, knowing it would be quick, casual, and reliable, apparently a northern NM staple. The restaurant isn’t as big as you think, and its location is hidden, yet centrally located for highway travelers who need a quick, reliable bite. There are outdoor seating options available because indoor seating was limited, but not suffocating. You order at the counter, choose your meal, and your chips and salsa size. I find it weird that they serve their chips in a bag in different sizes, but just get the small if it’s only a few people, it was plenty! The salsa was hot and flavorful, no complaints. I had the bean and cheese burrito with red chili and a side of French fries. The bean burrito was OK, French fries were just… French fries, but it was satisfying for a long day on the road. Admittedly, I had the most basic item on the menu, but when I come back, I’ll be sure to try their different options!! :)

Much Love, Zia <3“

“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!“

“Todo muy sabroso especialmente la birria y el menudo. Se los recomiendo“

“Great good, service, and music!“
