First time trying this location. Easy to find. Parking easy. The music volume is perfect. Atmosphere great. Service Great. Now to what you're truly looking for: The FOOD - Delicious and Hot! The guacamole molcaje was flavored perfectly and very delicious. He got the Cam Diablo & I got the Pollo Gratindo with a side of Charro beans that we shared. All was very delicious. Well worth the 75 we spent. Photos, sorry I forgot to take a shot of them.

After living in CA for several years, and trying true authentic Mexican dishes, this place is very close to to it! I do highly recommend coming here. The service is too notch. Our waiter was on top of everything. We came on a Tuesday this time and 16 oz. Draft beers were only 3.00. The food is excellent as well. I recommend getting the table side guacamole. It is definitely worth the price. My significant other ordered the Camerones Aguachili dish. It's large enough to almost feed 2 people. It is also a dish that is served cold, but was a delicious. If your into spicy stuff, I highly recommend their green salsa that they have. It pairs perfectly with any of the dishes. I typically order Enchalada Verdes, but this time I went with the Pineapple Fajitas. It's served in a half a pineapple and is delicious. The presentation of our meals are always top notch. If you are ever in a rush and need a quick meal, I recommend this place. They are quick with service, the food always comes out quick and hot, and your drinks are never empty.

The food fajita was very good and served steaming hot. Fried beans, rice and salad served as well. General portion of fajitas served. The serving was enough for two people. We had to carry the uneaten portion home. The Server answered all our questions from the menu. This was the first visit to Santa Fe for my wife and myself. We were served quicker than we thought. The food was hot and not lukewarm soon to be room temperature. The atmosphere was well lit and you could see your surroundings very well. The women restroom was very clean per my wife than other restaurants restrooms during peak hours of serving that we had been in.

WOW! Just wow! I just had the incredible pleasure of dining here for the very first time. I have to admit that Mexican food is not at the top of my list of favorite foods. And I now realize it’s only because my palate had never experienced such perfect deliciousness until today. The chicken quesadilla fajita, preceded by warm chips and salsa with a hint of zing, was out of this world! It was exactly what the proverbial doctor ordered! The Horchata was the just the right consistency with a nice hint of cinnamon. Very attractive and clean atmosphere welcomed me in, and the staff was friendly and charming. If you’re hungry, you won’t have to wait long for your food either! Super fast service! I will definitely add Santa Fe to the top of my list of go to restaurants.

Fantastic chicken and horchata. Food was quick and waiter was courteous. We recently moved here from Chicago and this place is definitely up to par with Chicago's finest. Excited to come back!
