    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.

    We had a bad experience last Saturday. From the attendant to the wait time to the wrong order and the food. I followed up on Monday and the same attendant was rude per usual and said the manager was too busy to talk to me. Not sure what happened to this place in such a short amount of time. We won't be back.

    Great burgers and service. Difficult to get a table at lunchtime but when you are seated the food is consistently good.

Kind and quick - Parking: onsite lot, gets very crowded Came to Tomasita's on a Monday night while visiting my friend in Santa Fe. They don't take reservations and although it was very busy we were seated within 10 minutes. My friends raved about the "swirl" margaritas (Santa Fe classic, apparently) so we got a frozen margarita flight. We were able to adjust the drinks in the flight- they even made me a frozen spicy margarita although that wasn't technically on the menu. Very helpful wait staff. We shared the flautas and loaded nachos. Both were rich but fantastic. We asked for both with a side of green chiles (highly recommend). The flautas came with sopaipillas which were fresh, soft and YUMMY. (They even brought two more when we asked!) This is a vibrant place to come for special occasions or even a nice family dinner. Highly recommend especially if you're visiting!

We got to the restaurant at 4:30, which we thought would be plenty early enough. They were already packed with a line out the door. It took nearly 20 minutes just to reach the hostess stand and check in. One we did they told us it was a 25 minute wait. Fortunately by the time I waded through the crowds and got back to my group, I already got the text that our table was ready. The next part was chaotic at best. You had to wade back through the line of people still checking in to be seated. Once you got back to the hostess stand, it was every man for himself. There were so many people crowded in to the tiny space it was impossible to tell the people trying to get on the list from the people who had been called to their table. Groups of people were cutting to the front to get seated ahead of others who were already in line to get seated. The employees were not managing it well, instead of calling the name of the next person in line, they just seated the people in front, who as I already mentioned, may have just pushed their way ahead of people already waiting. We finally made to our table and were seated. I really appreciate our waiter, once we told him about our time crunch, he was on it. He got our orders in quickly and the food arrived quickly. He got everything perfect. When we finished he got the checks done fast and we made it out with plenty of time to spare. As far as the food is concerned, the majority of the group enjoyed their meal. One meal, a taco salad wasn't good. The chicken was dry and the fried tortilla bowl was tough and chewy, not crispy. The sopapillas were hot and delicious, served with honey butter and honey. Overall experience was very mixed, terrible check in, great waiter, mostly good food.

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.
