Staff was friendly and attentive. (Here's a tip when reading bad reviews...always check other reviews written by that person. Usually, they only leave bad reviews.

Most of their seating was outside enclosed with a rooftop with an open and comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Service was very friendly and always available. The food was ok; we were glad to be in a brewery that served food. There were many beer choices. We ordered a flight of beers to try. We enjoy IPAs but unfortunately couldn't find one that we really liked. There was not much noise level which made it perfect for conversations. There was plenty of parking and it was easy to park. I would recommend this brewery.

The Alien Burger is THE BEST burger I've ever had!!!! OMG wow, it's packed with amazingness: a big…read morecheese-stuffed roasted green chile, crunchy bacon, chopped hatch chiles, guacamole, queso sauce, perfectly cooked burger patty, and toasted bun. I'll be dreaming of this burger! My husband and I each got one. The tater tots side was a huge amount and they were seasoned to perfection, super crispy. The coleslaw had a delicious flavor and cut through the heartiness of the burger. 5 stars for Second Street Brewery just for the Alien Burger!! Eat it, right now! The beers were a range of great to OK. The brown ale was our favorite! The bitter was very good. The two hazy IPAs were not great... When we arrived, the service experience was pretty confusing. We were told to order from different people, our server was overwhelmed with a big table, so we ordered from the bar. But the server excused himself and was really cool in the end. There's tons of seating inside, and an outdoor patio, so this is a great spot for groups. And we got to meet the Chef, he was so nice!! Gave him massive compliments on the burger ;) We will 100% be back to Second Street Brewery when in Santa Fe, I'll be fantasizing about their Alien Burger until then!!

I was in Santa Fe for a ridiculously niche lawyers conference and wandered into El Matador on a…read morerandom Thursday night. Then I came back Friday. And Saturday. Not because of the drinks. Not because of the atmosphere. Not because of the location. Because of Katya. Katya is not my favorite bartender. She is my favorite human being. I've spent enough time in bars to know when someone is good at their job. Katya operates on an entirely different level. She can take what feels like sixteen orders at once, remember every single one, deliver them with absolute precision, keep the entire room moving, somehow do the math in her head, and still make every customer feel like they're the only person sitting at the bar. The basement bar itself is exactly what a great dive should be; a shithole. Heavy hobo stab vibes upon entry, including Katya. Smell: multiple buttholes farting at once. Climate control: sweaty patron dependent. Lighting: liability. TV: playing a rotation of trash 80s DVDs . If business schools were smart, they'd study her. If hospitality groups were smart, they'd clone her. If Santa Fe has any sense at all, they'll do whatever it takes to keep her exactly where she is. Cash only, so come prepared. And bring plenty of it, because she deserves every penny. Katya must be protected at all costs.

Kind of a grungy, punk, divey vibe. Not exactly my thing, but where that feels unique to me this is…read morethe kind of place to remind yourself it takes all kinds. A busy setting and top candidate for beginning or ending your Santa Fe drunk parade. That is to say, it is fun. It is not refined. But it clearly does not want to be. :)

Great combination of New Mexican food and normal breakfast fare. So many delicious things to choose from. Our waitress recommended the green chile Eggs Benedict or chilaquiles. I decided on chilaquiles and my sister had French toast with fried eggs and bacon. This was definitely the best chilaquiles I've ever had! The chips were tossed in a combination of the red and green chile, the eggs were cooked perfectly and the beans and potatoes were delicious!!! The French toast was good, pretty standard French toast. Service was fantastic, coffee and water refilled, very friendly waitress. There is also a full bar and counter seating. I sure wish they had one of these in San Diego!

One employee in particular was rude, condescending, and went out of her way to make the experience uncomfortable instead of welcoming. It wasn't just slow service--it was the attitude. We felt like an inconvenience the entire time. For a place that's supposed to be about good vibes and hospitality, this was the complete opposite. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone expecting even basic customer service.

Ambiance: we had settled into Santa Fe after a few days in Pagosa Springs. Honestly, our experience hadn't been the best. Changed hotels three times, a few other things were making us feel we had made a bad choice coming to SF. Then we walked into SFB, and my daughter said, "ah, we found our people!" The vibe. The energy. The people. All of it was the starting point of turning our entire trip around!

The shrimp fajitas and shrimp quesadillas were absolutely awesome--the shrimp was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. Their margaritas was huge and perfectly balanced and hit the spot. If you are looking for fantastic, authentic Mexican food with service to match, this is definitely the place to go. We will absolutely be back!

They don't bring out chips and salsa for the table, which is 78% of the reason to even go to a Mexican restaurant rather than making the food at home. Pity because it actually smells good. Edit: My son ordered the chicken enchiladas suizas, took four bites, and declared himself done. When I tried his refried beans and immediately had to spit them out, I understood why. Honestly, how is this place still in business? Refried beans shouldn't taste like Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits.
