    Green Chile Cheese Burger

    We knew from the moment we arrived that we were in the right place. Wait staff were courteous and had a great sense of humor. We had the green chili cheese burger. Patties were hand formed. Potato's were fresh not frozen. If you're in Santa Fe and want an amazing meal, give this place a try. The atmosphere is totally New Mexico!

    The food is fine, but you can do better. I tried a burger here years ago; it was OK but not worth the hype this place makes them out to be. You can find much better Green Chile cheeseburgers in town, such as Jambo Bite or Santa Fe Bite, and even The Ranch House up the street. So, during this visit with a group from the Santa Fe Foodies, I aimed to bypass a burger and go to New Mexican food. Three of us ordered the Enchilada Trio/Chrismas (red and green chile) with posole and Calabacitas as our sides. Everything was fine, and the food was good, but in Santa Fe, you can find vastly superior renditions of all of the above. Cafe Castro's up the street has much better red chile and enchiladas at about the same price. Or try Casa Bonita Restaurant on 2nd Street; vastly superior NM food. My wife had the Santa Fe Chicken sandwich; it was OK, too. The green chile on it was quite good. The fries could have been great since they are thick and have the skins on, but they were soggy. Had they been fried correctly, they could have been really great. Service was (like the food) OK, not the friendliest server, but efficient. In a town like Santa Fe, with exceptional New Mexican food and burgers, I can't recommend going out of your way to go here unless you're curious. It's fine, it's OK, it's nothing special IMHO. As readers can see, I'm concentrating my review on the subjective quality of the food, not its number of diners, which the owner seems to feel is more important than addressing a review of the food which is mediocre.

    Authentic Northern New Mexican food in a charming casual atmosphere. I don't think they have vegan options but if you can handle dairy the cheese enchiladas are authentic and delicious. Northern NM is known for excellent red chile and this place didn't disappoint! I got my enchiladas "Christmas style" which means both red and green but if I went back I would just do red. Their green is good but the red is excellent. Got "Christmas style" chile fries as well. Without the cheese it may be vegan. I'm not sure and didn't ask! Fries were thick cut skin on and spicy! It would be really nice if they had more vegetarian options. Would have loved to have a green chile veggie burger but the enchiladas and fries were great!

    Decided to try this restaurant since it was highly recommended by quite a few locals. Food is great, price reasonable and service is great. Tried the chicken nacho appetizer which was huge and a meal itself alone. Also, tried the 12 oz green chille cheeseburger and fries. The cheese burger is offered in different sizes and cooked perfectly, and the fries were fresh hand cut and excellent. Server was friendly and attentive. We got seated immediately for dinner and I noticed they close early at about 7pm. Will return to try something different.

    This is good stuff! Had the Frito Pie - best I have found in town. Will go back for the burger - as so many people have said it is the best in town.

Friend and I both go the Adovada combo. I loved the adovada chalupa so much I got an adovada burrito to go for breakfast tomorrow! The cheese enchilada w/Christmas sauces was so delicious, as was the rice and posole. The only thing I didn't love was the shredded beef taco. Beef was dry, tough, a little flavorless. Maybe because it was the bed of the night? My friend got the regular ground beef taco and said she liked it. On top of all this, the food came out fast, piping hot, and the older man who works there is so sweet, never saw him stop working and he made sure to check on us a few times. The woman working tonight was good too, very professional and good service, just not sweet and warm/fuzzy like the older gentleman was. Additionally, prices were fair for the amount and quality of food, ZERO wait, easy parking, not at all touristy, just very small-town, old school diner type vibe. I will 100% be back when in Santa Fe and highly recommend!

    If you're in Santa Fe and not ordering the tamale plate at Tres Colores, you're doing it wrong…read more This dish is the definition of New Mexico done right--two perfectly steamed tamales, one smothered in rich red chile and the other in savory green chile. The red has that deep, earthy flavor with just the right kick, while the green brings a brighter, roasted heat that balances everything out. Together? That classic "Christmas style" combo that hits on every level. The masa was soft and flavorful (not dry like you get at some places), and the filling was generous and well-seasoned. The sides sealed the deal--fluffy Spanish rice, hearty beans, and a fresh, crisp salad that cut through the richness perfectly. Portion size was solid, presentation was clean, and everything tasted like it was made with care--not rushed, not watered down for tourists. Service was quick, friendly, and exactly what you want when you're trying to keep a night moving. Authentic, satisfying, and exactly what you hope for when you come to Santa Fe. I'd order this again without hesitation!!!

We thought we might have got the closing time mixed up so once we found a parking spot, I went over to ask. They said they were moving all of the tables so that they could clean the concrete pathway. We asked if it was OK we sat outside still with our dog and they said that was fine. They moved us to the other side of the pillar which we originally didn't mind but then quickly realized there's no lighting there. So we were eating dinner in a very dim lit area. After reading the reviews, we were excited to try the fish tacos, tamales, and fresh chips and salsa. Unfortunately, none of these really were superstar standouts for us. The blackened fish didn't have a ton of flavor. I found myself searching for a salsa that had a little bit of salt and flavor to spruce up the fish taco. I ate one of the three and my husband ate the remaining. The tamales tasted fresh and the ratio of protein to masa was great. We ate the tamale mostly without the mole sauce, which we didn't really care for. The salsa and chips that came out as an appetizer were fine. The salsas were different and flavorful. I wish that when they dropped off the different salsas (which they do on a rotation) they would have explained what each one was.

On the food side, Palacio cooks their red Chile for over 8 hours, making it in my opinion one of the best and most flavorful in Santa Fe. Most other places I get Christmas style, but here, the red Chile is just perfect. On this trip, we had a smothered breakfast burrito and enchiladas suizas.
