50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Santa Fe

“So unique! Very delicious !“

“The breakfast were great!“

“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.“

“Best food on our SW journey. Great flavor, perfectly seasoned. Beans & rice were so well done. Wonderful staff.“

“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!!“

“Muy buena comida y buen ambiente“

“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 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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“We've been to many of the food trucks on airport, this is the one that we keep coming back to. We've tried the sopes, taco plate, quesadilla, birria, etc. and all have been outstanding. Call and place your order in advance, the food is made fresh so it takes a few more minutes.“

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

“great food and service 👌 🍻“

“Found this place close to our hotel and it looked very local/family as opposed to large restaurant, and wife and I prefer that most of the time, so we decided to give them a try. REALLY tasty and fresh! Being close to where we were staying, we started noticing them when driving by and it always has cars parked around it and frequented by mostly hispanics, so you know what they think! The only slightly disapointing thing is that both times we went there was something either missing from the order or they were out of a few things, and, the street tacos we got were served on corn tortillas the first time and same tacos were on flour tortillas the second time! Everything was fresh, so we chalked it up to the food and plates being really fresh and the ingrediants described on the menu were more of a suggestion than exact, lol. But we went back once, and plan on going back again the next time we're in Santa Fe.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“We ordered two carne asada tacos just to make sure the food was good. After the first taste we were wonderfully pleased. We immediately ordered a carne asada quesadilla and wow it was great too. Friendly service from the kind owener completed our experience.“

“Fantastic food and friendly service!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“A friend who frequents Santa Fe recommended we visit the rooftop cantina. Loved dining outside and enjoying the late afternoon breeze.
We were hungry, so an early dinner made sense. We opted for the generous plate of pulled pork nachos. Talk about delicious! The red sauce and toppings worked really well together.
Of course we treated ourselves to the smooth and flavorful foam topped margarita. Another winner on our fun New Mexico outing!“

“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“

“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“

“I loved this place!! Must go if you’re a foodie. The person working there gave me multiple free samples of cookies and also we chatted for like 10 minutes about different flavor profiles.“

“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“

“Awesome dining experience in Santa Fe!“

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

“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!“

“Great good, service, and music!“
