    Excellent tuna melt with tomato soup.
    Karen F.

    To be honest, my friend wanted to eat here, but I wanted pho. Then it turned out the pho place was too busy, so I came back here - and I'm incredibly happy I did. This was one of my favorite meals in New Mexico. You sit at the counter, and the Owner is a one man show - he greets you, takes your order, then goes and prepares it in the kitchen. This was handy because he could answer my questions about dairy in the tomato soup (just a little). I ended up getting the tuna melt with tomato soup and it was wonderful. The soup was thick and tasty, and the sandwich was out of this world. Piled high with tuna, and lots of cheese, on thick, delicious, sourdough (?) bread. It was so filling, that I ended up eating the insides off the piece of bread. My friend had a combo mac and cheese, and wasn't blown away, but maybe she just put together the wrong combo. In addition to counter seating, there were also a few tables out front that the Owner seemed to monitor too. I would definitely return here if I were in the area.

    I was in the mood for something other than Mexican food and Mac & Cheese sounded like just the ticket. When we arrived at Mac Santa Fe, we were the only patrons. We sat at the bar and the owner was the only one behind the counter. There were only a few tables inside the restaurant, but there were more just outside in the interior section of the mall area. A roomy diner-like bar was great. He greeted us, took our orders, prepared the food, and brought it out to us, all while smiling and greeting others who came by to look at the menu. I couldn't quite decide on what to get, so I ordered the small portion of two different types: Mushroom & Truffle and Shrimp Scampi. My bestie ordered the Tuna Melt with the tomato soup and she loved it. Mine was very good. I appreciate that the owner was kind enough to let me mix two different ones. While the Mac & Cheese was good, it didn't blow my socks off. A very solid choice for lunch.

    Food is tasty but basic comfort food. Takes awhile to get the food from order to receipt. Owner is very nice. Food had cool spots in it when served. Very filling - ordered the smaller size and couldn't eat more than 1/3. We did get light diarrhea the next day but I am not sure if this was the source or not. Protein included seemed a bit skimpy?

    Yes, when you are in Santa Fe, New Mexico, you should eat Southwestern food, but we had been indulging for several weeks and needed a little break for lunch. Mac Santa Fe was the perfect spot. Located down a few steps in an indoor mall, there is a few seats in the eatery and up at a bar, and there are tables in the middle of the mall to enjoy your Mac and Cheese. Mac and Cheese seems pretty easy to make, but it takes the right chef to make it the right way. Mac needs to ooey gooey cheesy goodness and to many times there isn't enough cheese and it is dry lacking even the basic salt. But not at Mac Santa Fe. We ordered the one pound container to split and it was the perfect amount for two. We chose the Santa Fe Mac, it was pasta cooked to al dente, just the way we like it, topped with a crunchy bread topping, it had roasted green chile and Monterey and Cheddar cheese. It was spicy, but on overly so. The sauce was creamy and cheesy. Located in downtown Santa Fe, it is a great find when exploring the downtown shops.

    Large lobster mac! So good... 6/26/2024

    I have two young daughters, so when I found Mac Santa Fe I knew I would score brownie points with them... It's a sit-down restaurant in an indoor mall with mostly mac and cheese dishes. On June 26, 2024, we ordered: + 2 sodas ($6) + Billy the Kid grilled cheese with tomato soup ($22) + Green Chile grilled cheese with tomato soup ($20) + Large lobster mac ($36)! So good... We had leftovers to take to our next destination. Our guy gave me a bottled water on the house. Both employees we interacted with were super friendly and quick to get our order out. I just wished our grilled cheeses weren't grilled so long. The slightly burned taste was there. This place is small, but humble. If you're new to Santa Fe, New Mexico, come here for the Zozobra artwork. The Four Corners flags on the ceiling. The quirky Breaking Bad picture and other oddities scattered throughout. The code-accessed restrooms were a short walk nearby in the same building. I parked in the lot across the street. It was $4 for 2 hours. Like most Santa Fe parking spots, they are on the small side.

    We were visiting Santa Fe from out of state and decided to give this place a try for dinner as we were looking for some cozy comfort food. Service was excellent. Super great. We both had grilled cheese (with green chilles) and the tomato soup, Sandwich was tasty, soup could have been like 15% warmer. Also it was bit cold inside as well, but not terrible. The food and the service still made for a worthwhile visit.

    The dudes that worked here were probably the coolest people we encountered on our visit to NM...this mac n cheese smacked but that tomato bisque?!! made me regret my decision to order the mac n cheese in the first place! Thanks for the recommendations of the non-touristy places!

    According to yelp they were open for business. Closed!!!! What a let down especially when it states that it was open.

    The grilled cheese menu.

    Okay, so I thought the sandwiches were a bit pricey but my friend had eaten at another restaurant that specialized in grilled cheese snd she said they could be worth it. So we went there and she ordered a grilled cheese with jalapeños, sriracha, and chorizo. It was stuffed with chorizo and she was happy. I, on the other hand, ordered the macaroni and cheese which I thought had a great price point, It had chorizo and bacon and it was very cheesy plus had a great cracker-like topping. Bottom line was we were all full of cheesy goodness and happy! We were treated well by staff who were super friendly and the food did not take long to get. Win, win, win!

    Literally the best mac & cheese I've ever had. And the Santa Fe one with green chile is absolutely perfect. Very hardy portions at a great price. And the people working there are super chill and friendly. Highly recommend!

    A bit hard to find because it is in a mall but it's worth it - cute ambiance, friendly staff, and the menu looks exciting but I really felt like the food was just fine. We liked the Santa Fe - the chile was fun (because we're from out of state - I don't think it was special) but the cheese and pasta were not anything noteworthy.

    Mac and cheese with garlic shrimp. Delish!!!

    The Mac is good - particularly the lobster Mac. Good for take out or to sit at the counter for super casual eat.

    Spent two nights in Santa Fe and ate here both nights. On the first night we split a half rack rib…read moredinner, adding an extra side and two extra ribs. The ribs were perfect, tender with a little cheese. Just wished we ordered an extra muffin because they're cheap and delicious. Second night I had a salad with salmon. Loved that they asked how I wanted the salmon cooked. It was prepared perfectly. Our server, Marissa, was amazing, frequently checking in on us, and even arranging a free dessert. If I lived in Santa Fe I'd need to buy a new wardrobe. The vibe was bustling, I liked that the booth tables were slightly elevated; solid bbq joint atmosphere.

    Reviews looked good so we had to check it out. Came here on a Wednesday night. Quite busy for mid…read moreweek, but we had a reservation and were seated right away. We had two large parties sitting on both sides of us, so it was a bit noisy but not too loud to where we could still hear each other. I did notice one couple asked to be reseated onto the patio. Started off with their apple - walnut salad - delicious. Then the flat iron steak which had to be one of the most flavorful and tender flat iron steaks I've ever tasted. We also had the ranch salad with a skewer of the brown butter bbq shrimp. Would love to know how they made the brown butter bbq sauce, so good I could drink it. Our food was delicious. The service could have been better. We were never checked on and we had to track down our server to get out check. Literally did not see her for about 15 minutes. Truly thought she may have been on break. I do remember her name, but she could have been super busy. There are so many great restaurants in Santa Fe, but if you're looking for a casual dinner this is the place.

We were warmly greeted and we're happy. It was on the quiet side since they weren't busy yet. By the time we left, it was busy! We really enjoyed our server, Paris. He was warm and seemed to take a general interest in us. I shared my concerns with him that my pallet doesn't tolerate much spicy. He at all. He assured me there would be no problem in accommodating that. He started us off with a complementary prickly pear & lemonade drink which we loved! He also provided a complementary appetizer which was very unique and made out of avocado and mascarpone and some other items I don't remember. Why I didn't love it, I did enjoy hasting something so unique and different. We started with the best cornbread I've ever had that shaped like a cob of corn with three different kinds of butters. The cornbread is $12 and worth it! Next came the Caesar salad wrapped in some kind of egg roll wrapper and topped with an anchovy mixture. We split it so we each got two rolls which was plenty. We very much enjoyed the flavors in the salad. Don ordered the Wagyu short rib with polenta. While we don't love polenta, this was tasty and complemented the beef nicely. Don said this was the best short rib he ever had. I wish I had a picture of how they presented it. When they took the lid off, there was a lovely steam cloud and it smelled wonderful. I had scallops with each one placed beautifully on top of of really interesting wild rice and finished with toasted coconut. The pineapple salsa and the Hoja Santa Fe Oil were placed in small rounds in the middle of the dish because they had some kick to them. What was especially impressive, is the gentleman who brought out my meal leaned over and said that the Chef wanted to let me know that the two items in the small dishes had heat to them, but I was encouraged to give them a try for the full flavor. Impressive! I was able to enjoy the pineapple salsa, but the oil was a little too spicy for me, but I'm glad I tried it. We would've loved to try dessert, but we were fully satiated by our delicious meal. It was quite an experience and we look forward to returning.
