love it. like a solid taco truck but with more options. I typically either get the fish tacos or green chile cheeseburger, and have never been disappointed with either. the shrimp tacos are good too. bumblebee bob is an old stl cat, so that adds to it for me--i make a point of grabbing a bit from there each time i'm in town, which is roughly annually. service is friendly, food is consistent/reliable, and cost is reasonably reasonable :) read more

Really bummed. Their Tortillas burger with guacamole was one of my favorites. I just got one and it seems they switched to premade burgers about 1/8th inch thick. They used to be so juicy you'd use up quite a few napkins while eating it. Now, I had to dump on mustard and mayo even w the guacamole. So bad, It tasted like a very bad Burger King burger( if you know what that weird taste is) . I threw half of it away. Sorry, I won't be back. The last time I got take out, I ordered the Chicken Green Chili stew. They left out any and all of the Chicken. This stew is up to 18$. They said they'd write it on the board for next time and of course they didn't. read more

This super casual restaurant is a reliable spot for fresh, yummy food. My hubby loves the posole and burritos. I go for grilled chicken. There's a drive through--sop convenient. Parking is just a few steps out the front door. Staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant is clean. There's plenty of indoor seating. We *heart* Bumble Bee's! read more

Bumble Bees Grille never disappoints, I come here for the Green Chili Stew , nice and spicy and today I had it with the Lamb . What a great way to have a lean meat for us sensitive eaters. The potatoes, tomatoes and melted cheese all fill my taste buds with an incredible blend of mouthwatering flavor. The flour tortilla is a must have and the cool refreshing Horchata drink helps cool me off. Great fast service , clean and spacious inside and for those in a rush there's a drive up window. Put this place on your foodie list ! read more

Been traveling for two weeks and really just wanted a good veggie burger. We found this place when we got to town. I got the green chili and cheese burger but substituted the patty with a Boca Burger and a side of sweet potato fries. Hubby had the green chili tortilla soup with tofu. Both of our orders were very flavorful and fresh tasting. My fries zesty and crispy. Our only complaint that kept my rating from being a 5 star one was the prices. We felt they were slightly high for a burger joint. But, The staff were friendly. The place was clean. And They have a nice outside patio area. read more

Most of the staff doesn't speak English, so it's difficult to place your order. I signed up my email on their site and they sent me a coupon for a free taco. A lady, looked to be the Manager, didn't speak English but didn't want to honor it. She has RBF. I don't think she knew how. I got it, they just didn't ring it up. The person taking my order was friendly. The vegetarian green chile stew and veggie taco were delicious! The jicama salad was spectacular!! Food takes about 20mins to receive when they aren't very busy. It's way overpriced. read more

We needed a quick meal within walking distance arriving into town and this place stood out for the name a colorful design. The interior was colorfully and artfully decorated. The food was better than average Mexican/Southwest food. I had a really hard time understanding the workers there and had a difficult time ordering, I think it was a combination of all the noise in the area and my inability to understand the accents (usually I'm pretty good but this was off my scale), maybe the ordering process could be simplified. read more

They will send you out with an incorrect order when you are literally the only customer there and they could care less about really making it right. I used to eat here frequently and have taken friends here and also recommended the place to tourists. Never again. They don't appreciate my business. read more

I love the Staff. I love the food, but this new plastic packaging has to go. Get back to paper. read more

Bumble Bee's Baja Grill - Plastic boxes, please use paper. This is pure waste. - Mexican Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

The food is here unbelievable!! It's a cute small secluded spot, has gorgeous lighting outside and you can smell what you're about to experience from the parking lot. They don't have servers so you order at the entrance and they bring your food out when it's ready. Everyone was nice and they were busy! I went with my partner and we both ordered different things to share. I got the Mexican burrito with steak and he ordered the half chicken plate. Everything was so delicious and perfectly spiced, the rice and beans that come with the chicken plate were also great and paired really well. My burrito was really good and it hit the right spot after a long day. They're a really long time small business and just make the best chicken ever. Highly addictive and I highly recommend! read more

We stopped in to Bumble Bee's today for a 'snack' (basically a very late lunch) at the recommendation of an artist we met at the Santa Fe Railyard Sunday's Artisan Market. She had described the place as a great local spot serving up really fresh food, sourced from local farms. When we pulled into the parking lot around 3 pm on a Tuesday, we were surprised to see so many cars, including 2 at the drive-thru window. After parking, while walking towards the inside, and noticed the fun drive-thru sign noting Bumble Bee's is the "Worlds Slowest Drive-Thru," since all the food is made fresh and to order. We went inside expecting table service, but this place has more of a kitchy, local fast-food restaurant vibe. You order at the counter, get a number, pick a table (inside or out) and then they bring your food out when it's ready. During your wait, you can enjoy the art all over the walls and the bees and decorations hanging from the ceiling. For our lunch, we ordered 2 bowls of green chile stew with chicken, 1 bowl of green chile stew with lamb, a fresh lemonade, a chocolate shake, a fresh horchata, and a squash and goat cheese quesadilla. We waited maybe 15 min for our food to come out, and were surprised at the portion sizes! The green chile stews were full of meat, potatoes and green chiles, plus were topped with pieces of tortilla chips, sour cream, salsa and shredded cheddar cheese. Hearty enough to be the only thing you eat all day! And the meat was cooked to perfection, tender and falling apart. Really great. The quesadilla was also fantastic. The combo of squash and goat cheese was delicious, and though we weren't able to finish it all, we brought our left overs back to our airbnb and look forward to finishing them tomorrow! We really enjoyed visiting this local gem during our brief stay in Santa Fe and would love to go back and experience more of the extensive menu! Definitely off the tourist track, yet easy to find, just around the corner from the Georgia O'Keeffe museum. read more

Maybe I am on a breakfast burrito kick ‍ ... last time I was like this my focus was tacos and I gained weight! Chicken burrito was phoned ahead with an order for a shrimp quesadilla (don't knock it until you've tried it). Phoned ahead and they said "see you in the drive thru!" Guess what? That is exactly what happened! Order was ready, food delicious. Bumble Bee's Baja Grill is a great "go to" for classic NM Cuisine on the go! read more

Tonight's featured #santafe #restaurantreview shoutout goes to #bumblebeebajagrill. Since my tummy is still recovering from being out of rhythm, I ordered a steak quesadilla and it hit the spot perfectly! Hubby ordered a bumblebee burrito, and although wet (the foil paper got wet), was fresh quality and quite delicious.!!! Overall a solid performance, made even more impressive by their drive through and take out orders coming in. The vibe and decor of the dining room and Latin music playing in the background made the vibe feel cozy and joyful! 5/5. We'll be back #gourmetrecovery read more

I love bumblebee's and aways get the same thing the goat cheese quesadilla. This time around someone burned the tortilla and I didn't know till I got home. I tried to eat it but all I could taste was burned tortilla. Sadly it was a waste of 16.00. read more

Ok so I didn't expect much from this drive through place close to home. So here's the thing, for someone who alway eats healthy and never fast food, what I had last night was a revelation. Hope it's not a one-off... circumstances caused me to call in on a Friday night and the stews are excellent. Almost finished it off before grabbing a quick, last pic. Flavorful, generous serving was scrumptious. The half chicken dinner was not overcooked and was damn good according to my girlfriend. Can't wait to have another go. read more

Food was average, and the establishment was more like a fast food joint. Pro: Have several vegetarian/vegan options Con: The service and flavor of the food were average, again, more like a fast-food place. The main ingredients were skimpy for a burrito and salmon tostada (burnt tostada). Recommendation: If you are visiting SF and want to experience NM's Mexican food, try another place. read more

Grabbed burritos and green Chile stew to go from Bumble Bee after reading the reviews about them being veggie friendly We both got the Vegetarian Burritos. Me got the veggie chicken & I chose the tofu. Both were winners! The stew was hearty & spicy & paired well with the burritos. Horchata to wash it all down And did someone say filling? Lasted us 3 meals & we ate big. Well worth a visit! read more

Bumble Bee's Baja Grill - Veggie Especial Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Ok food. Service and friendliness bah. Too many flies. Fast mediocre food. Chicken a little dry but tasty. Margarita average.

Had an absolutely HORRIBLE takeout meal from Bumblebee's last night. We have been going there since they first opened, but this was inexcusable. The meal itself was bad - salmon was so overcooked you could barely bite into it, the pork taco was disgusting and all fat, the special sauce was basically water. The fish burrito was tasteless. AND the person at the order desk was rude AND OVERCHARGED US. Bob - RIP.....This is NOT the same restaurant you lovingly established. What a disappointment! read more

On our way from Colorado to New Mexico, we were looking for a quick bite to eat around Santa Fe that was also dog friendly. This place had pretty glowing reviews so we decided to check it out. I actually enjoyed my burrito quite a bit (see photos) but I tried my girlfriend's tacos and found the meats to be very bland and dry. She did ask for no sauce but we expected the meats to have some flavor and juice to it. I also wouldn't call this place dog friendly and more dog tolerating. Overall, nothing to write home about but wouldn't argue if people wanted to come here for a quick bite. read more

Amazing fish tacos and delicious salsa. A friend recommended this place while I was vacationing in Santa Fe. Reasonable prices and so good!

I had the green chili stew and it was outstanding. There was no wait. The service was friendly. The price was right too. Highly recommend! read more

I laughed as soon as I got here. Right at their drive-thru they have a sign that says "world's slowest drive through". You've been warned! LOL It was funny but it did make me a bit nervous of how slow the service was when we went inside. No need to worry, there was just one person in front of us ant the guy taking the orders was working fast. We had some time to look through the menu (they have printouts right at the door and also a board with all they offer) and ordered in no time. We even asked if they could make a hot dog we saw on Yelp pics that they didn't offer any more. After a quick consultation with the kitchen, they said "no problem". We got our table, our drinks and waited for our food. This took a bit but not enough to label them "world's slowest". To me it was a sign that every dish is made to order and fresh. When we got our food, all dishes were hot, with cheese perfectly melted and so delicious it was worth the bit of wait time. Inside it is very colorful, with bee piñatas all over, Mexican garlands, colorful plates, red and yellow walls and more décor. They also have outside seating with colorful chairs to match the fun inside. So, don't get discouraged by the sign... they're joking! Just making sure you know good food takes time and you will not be dissapointed. read more

This is a charming little hole in wall, in the bend in the road, with advertised slow service. They were upfront about that. The kids enjoyed hamburgers, but you need to pay extra for fries. The 2 multi layers tortilla steak tacos were okay. I have had better elsewhere. I added white rice on the side. The chicken tacos with rice and pinto beans were well received. The huge bowl of green chili chicken stew was packaged up for the road. We also got the usual soft drinks. The order of salsa and chips was skimpy. The hanging artwork and piñata hanging from the ceiling and walls made it very festive. They have a small drive up and a walk up window. Like they advertise, these patrons just need to be patient and wait too. Probably will not be buzzing by again soon, as way out of the way, from where I live. So many other places to try next time in Santa Fe. read more

The green Chile stew (with tofu) here was really exceptional. It was $11 for a very generous portion that also comes with a side of corn or flour tortillas. It speaks to their level of care that instead of just throwing the tofu in as is, they lightly batter and fry it first, so it can better soak in the delicious favors of the stew. Was also thrilled that they have a vegan chicken protein option that can be added to most of their menu items. It does have an extra charge of $5, however is totally worth it for the burritos as they are enormous. Atmosphere wise it's a low key casual joint with locals swinging through, staff were professional and friendly! read more

Meh, it was ok. I was hoping for more based on some of the reviews. I ordered a Mexicano steak burrito smothered. What I got was a rice and bean burrito with a few pieces of steak. We also ordered a fish taco that again, was ok. Kind of forgettable. I would maybe eat here again but would not go out of my way to do so. P.S. Their habanero salsa, either I was given the wrong salsa or it's just not that hot. More like mild-medium. read more

This used to be one of my favorite places and I can't tell you how many times I've made an order and go home with the wrong food. How difficult is it to make a burrito with cheese and pinto beans. It was smothered and black beans. I mean, come on... either the cashiers need to listen better or the back staff needs to pay attention. This is the fifth time this has happened with orders there. And all they did was refund me. A good business would've said next time you come in, will give you a burrito on tue house. Incompetence is unbelievable. Also, you need to train your staff on how to wrap a burrito because the second I bit into it the entire thing fell apart. This was a complete waste of money. Overpriced and overrated. Taco Bell is much better than this place. Save your money and don't go in. read more

Got the fish tacos and the Bumble bee pork burrito. I found the fish to be very bland, but the consistency was good. You can definitely get better tortillas around Santa Fe. The pork burrito was solid, with very big chunks of tender pork, but the burrito was quite wet and messy to eat by the end. Pluses: quick service, generous portions, decent prices. read more

Great goat cheese and squash quesadilla! Green chili stew also yummy. Terrific service.

Fast service, easy pickup, friendly guy at the pick up window, super delicious burrito with yummy sauces. They can up their hand by offering more veggies in the burritos. Will make vegetarians like me happier. read more

The steak tacos tastes like it's steamed, the salsa has way to much garlic and the ambiance not the best but the horchata was good.

Short review: I think this is likely the best burrito I've ever had in my life. Update: Yelp says the above is too short to constitute a review, so I'll re-iterate now how amazing this smothered burrito is. read more
