    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.

They also highlight the reasonable prices, generous portions, and the cozy, authentic. I had the Chile Rellenos, and "amazing" feels like an understatement. They were perfectly executed: the chiles were tender yet held their structure, the cheese was beautifully melted, and the batter was light and golden without being greasy. What really sets them apart is the depth of flavor in the sauces. Whether you go red, green, or "Christmas," you can taste the authenticity and the quality of the ingredients in every bite. It's the kind of meal that makes you want to slow down and savor it, yet leaves you planning your next visit before you've even finished. Between the incredible service and the standout flavors, Tune-Up Café is easily one of the best culinary experiences in the city. A must-visit for locals and travelers alike!

    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!!!

As we pulled up, it looked pretty crowded, a few families waiting outside. I checked on the wait time for 3 & was told 20-25 minutes. We don't consider that an excessive wait time any time we go out. And being from out of town, it would've taken us at least that long to find another spot & probably would've had a wait at any other restaurant. There was plenty of space to wait in front of the restaurant, it was shaded and the weather was nice. I don't know how long we waited for a table, but it seemed to be less than quoted. Once seated, we were served drinks right away. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I ordered blue corn cinnamon pancakes with a side of bacon. The bacon was cooked crisp, just how I like it. The pancakes were really good! Different from anything I've had before. My husband had chilaquiles, those were really good. And my son got a traditional breakfast. The menu said it came with fries, which were more what we called breakfast potatoes. That was a good thing! Those potatoes were so good! The restaurant looked to be well staffed, everyone working and taking care of customers. This is for sure a place I'd recommend and would return to on future visits to Santa Fe.

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!
