Quick taco truck to satisfy your taco needs. It's close to the airport which makes it a great spot if you need to go there to pick up friends or if you want food before you leave. There aren't really tables to sit when we came but a little side counter with high seats off the side of the truck. We came here after seeing a few reviews and wanting actual Mexican food and not New Mexican food. Tacos were pretty standard and tasty. We ordered extra rice and beans and were a little disappointed in the two. Both could have used a little extra flavor. Come support your local taco truck!

Gordita de barbacoa, de rajas con queso, y de Chicharrón
Julie H.

Came to visit some family in Santa Fe from San Diego, CA and were looking for a great place to grab a bite. Found this hidden gem and wow was it amazing. The customer service is one of a kind. They treat you like family and are very attentive and friendly. If you are ever in the area you MUST stop by and try it for some authentic Mexican food. I personally tried the gorditas de chicharrón, rajas con queso, and barbacoa and they were to die for. The torta cubana is also amazing. Vinimos a visitar una familia en Santa Fe desde San Diego, California, y estábamos buscando un gran lugar para comer algo. Encontramos esta joya escondida y fue increíble. El servicio al cliente es único. Te tratan como familia y son muy atentos y amables. Si alguna vez se encuentra en el área, DEBE pasar para probar comida mexicana auténtica. Personalmente probé las gorditas de chicharrón, de rajas con queso y de barbacoa y estaban para morirse. La torta cubana también es increíble.

Carnitas tacos

Food was great! I had carnitas tacos and my boyfriend has el pastor tacos. I preferred mine but both were really good. The rice had a nice hint of flavor and was cooked right. I also liked the lettuce and tomato on the side.

Was looking for a place to get dinner "late" at night around 9pm and this was one of the few places that was open (till 10pm). SO GLAD we came. One of my favorite meals of the trip! Great menu, great service. Food made quick and delicious. I got a barbacoa sincronizada which kind of felt like a quesadilla with added ham. My girlfriend got two gorditas. I wish we had more of an appetite or time to revisit because I really wanted to try a torta or gringas. Not sure if the server spoke English - we knew enough Spanish to get by. It was 9pm and people were still coming through picking up to go orders. We chose to sit outside to eat - there's like two or three tables. Seems very popular with the locals. Would really recommend.

Intestine tacos, Al pastor tacos and the beef tongue tacos. The salsa rojo is the best ever.

We were recommended to have the beef tongue and intestine tocos here, so we planned our special trip from Santa Fe downtown to this food truck for the tacos. The beef tongue are juicy and well seasoned, and the beef intestine are very crispy with the aroma. And the Al pastor ones are so good that we had all the tocos with our thumbs up, and decided to try quesadillas the next day. We made a dive-through for the Gringer quesadilla on our way to ABQ, the marinated pork quesadillas just worth all that effort. Best salsa rojo I have ever had. Definitely worth a special plan for their tacos!

Awesome Mexican (not New Mexican) food truck on Airport Road. Tostadas are huge and a good lowish carb option.

OK, I'm giving this place 5 stars for the food. The service actually sucked, but the food was…read moreoutstanding! I had the Pollo Asada Burrito and my wife had the Shrimp Fajitas. The topped the burrito with green and red sauce... delicious!!! The flour tortillas were warm and soft awesome. As for the service... not good! The bartender is a rockstar, but the other server was not good. Forgot to give our drink order, forgot we asked for water, and forgot the beer I ordered. Actually, the food made up for it! Give ECT a try if you're in the Santa Fe Plaza area.

Walked in at 850 pm Saturday night was forcefully told that the restaurant is closed and the waiter…read morerudely escorted me out. Would never come back again. ============= This review got flagged by Yelp HQ, let me rewrite this and be clear of what happened. I walked into El Callejon Taqueria and Grill, located on 208 Galisteo St Santa Fe, NM 87501 on Aug 22 2026. It was on a Saturday night, right before 9pm. This was my first weekend in the city of Santa Fe, on both Yelp and Google this location shows the restaurant closes at 11pm. When I walked in the bartender told me that it was closed. I wouldn't care that a business is closed before the listed hours; it was the way the bartender went about it. He could have politely told me that the kitchen was closed, and I would not have had any problem with it. He walked up to me within arm's length and continuously repeated "sorry we are closed" multiple times while getting closer to me. It was one of the worst experiences I have had to get escorted "asked" out of a restaurant. The experience was not good. To be clear I never get to try the food here.

- Vibes: Upscale yet casual, good for families - Crowd: busy…read moreon a weekday evening but short wait - Value for price: 5/5, not terribly expensive and great quality - Service: Fantastic. 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!

This was our second time dining here. It's conveniently located across from the train station. I've…read morenoticed that it's a go-to for those getting off the train. Both times, there was what felt like a herd of people speed walking in a marathon style to get there first. I can see why it's a local favorite. The food is pretty good. The Food: New Mexican Enchilada Suiza Generous portion. The chicken was moist and flavorful. That green chili sauce on the enchiladas was bursting with flavor! The beans were average. The squash had a certain seasoning that I wasn't a fan of. Bowl of chili Generous portion. The mild did not taste mild. It was super spicy and delicious! Kid's enchilada It was good, but not my daughter's favorite. She only took a few bites after filling up on the beans. My daughter LOVES beans. She said they were good, but have had much better. Sopapillas This is where is at!!! OMG!!! Some of THE BEST sopapillas that I've ever had!! They come with a delightful honey butter and a bottle of honey. I would come back just for the sopapillas!!! Flour tortillas Not good. We're used to the Mexican style recipe that are fluffy and tasty. These were NOT fluffy or tasty. My kids said they weren't good at all. I tried a bite and agreed. House Margarita They did not hold back with the tequila! It was delicious! The Margarita mixture was perfect! Not too sweet and not overpoweringly strong. Beer Very limited selection. They had three IPAs and DosXX. I was expecting at least a tiny variety. Service: Service was a bit slow, but that's understandable due to the high volume of customers. We were part of a train arrival rush. The waitress was friendly enough, but could tell that she was feeling a bit stressed. Overall experience We will be back. The food was pretty good. We would come back just for the margaritas and sopapillas alone! We could have easily shared a meal. That might be the way to go next time.
