I absolutely love this place. Family owned and the food is delicious. Their salsa is perfectly spicy (green onions really throw it over the edge) and tortilla chips are always warm- I could eat just that when I come. Anything smothered in their green chili is mouthwatering. If you aren't in mood for green chili- my family's absolute favorite is their steak tacos. I cannot even express how good these are. I've been coming here since I moved to Parker 18 years ago and I will never stop. Just go and check the food out for yourself. read more

Came here for the first time and the place was small and had no life. Everything was dimmed inside. They had one waiter but he was awesome and accommodated well. The chips and salsa was delicious and was the best part of the meal. I ordered the steak tacos and the steak was dry and had no flavor. The rice was bland and the beans tasted fine. The food was a huge let down compared to the chips and salsa. Maybe it was a bad day but wasn't pleased with the food. read more

Stopped going here. The place has gotten dirty and warn out. Floors, Rest Rooms and general condition of the restaurant are a reflection of the kitchen, so we just can't do it anymore. Food was always good though. read more

Small place with 1 waiter. He did well considering. I ordered the taco salad and it was just ok. The lettuce wasn't cut enough and in chunks. Salsa was delicious but the chips came from a premade bag. It was just ok. read more

Old Santa Fe Mexican Grill - Taco salad - Mexican Near Me - Parker, Colorado

I love this place. Their chili relleno's and chicken enchilada is superb. They have great salsa and chips which are delivered to your table quickly. The service staff are friendly and quick. My other favorite is their Santa Fe chili relleno that is stuffed with chicken and cheese with green chili over the whole thing or their tacos. And reasonably priced. read more

Ordered the taco salad. The food was very bland. The salsa was watery and bland. There's no hot sauce, taco sauce or any condiments on the table. The service is good but it doesn't make up for the bland food. Ambiance is nice but doesn't makeup for the bland food. I won't be back. When I ate there a few years ago it was good-what happened?! read more

We walked in on Sunday around 1:00PM and it was so quiet and dark we had to call out to see if anyone was there. Someone appeared from the back and seated us and shortly thereafter a waiter came out to help us. They have a massive menu and the food was good (not great) but it was so dark it felt like we were in a closed restaurant. It felt a bit dirty though, the bar had margarita machines that were turned off but full of warm mix, and there was boxes strewn about which made me worry about how sanitary everything in the kitchen is. The cost was very good for the amount of food we received, but I'm not sure I would eat here again read more

Excellent mexican food, killer margaritas, and very very nice people! Fast service dining in or ordering pick up. Old Santa Fe is my #1 go to!!! read more

Old Santa Fe Mexican Grill - Steak Quesadillas - Mexican Near Me - Parker, Colorado

First time me and my girl trying Old Santa Fe. We seated right away and with that we got a gigantic basket of chips with individual salsa bowls which I like. Her rice had absolutely no flavor at all and just overall wasn't a very good meal. My burrito had decent flavor. read more

First time visitor. My wife and I were doing some Christmas shopping figured what heck let's try this place. Very good food, seem very affordable to me. And the gentleman waiting on us had such a fun personality, made the whole experience great. We definitely plan on going back. read more

This has become our go to Mexican food place. Prices are good and there is a wide selection some pretty tasty selections. We asked for some grilled jalapeños and they were perfectly prepared and tasty. The waitress was engaging, attentive and very friendly. The man we usually have as a server struggles with English but is also very nice attentive. read more

It's the ONLY place to eat Mexican food in Parker! We lived in Parker for almost 13 years before moving to Western CO and it is a must stop every single time we come back to visit family. Everything on menu delicious but esp their steak quesadillas and fajitas - I don't know how they marinate the meat but it is addictive and there is absolutely nothing like that first bite of quesadilla or fajita to send your tastebuds into overdrive. read more

My family and I have been coming here for years, and it never disappoints us. The food is fantastic, and the staff makes you feel at home. They accommodate any specific requests, and having this place in Parker is wonderful. read more

We stopped in to try the place out and had a great experience. Our waitress was awesome: she helped us out and also brought out more chips and salsa for my kid when she didn't want to eat a full meal. Margaritas were 2 for the price of 1. I got a sampler entree that had a taco, rice, beans, flouta, chile relleno, and one more item I can't recall. They all went well together and I was stuffed afterwards. I also tried the horchata, which I would recommend. The food tasted a out exactly as I expected and I'll try a bunch of different stuff next time. The pricing was very reasonable as well. read more

Old Santa Fe Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Parker, Colorado

We come in frequently and never had an issue up until our last visit. The server input a $30 tip when we had written in an $18 tip. The server did not want to provide our copy of our signed receipt until we threatened to talk to a manager. The server could not explain why, or what happened. He told us it wasn't a big deal and we were furious! Make sure to take pictures of your signed copy and check your bank statements. We were also double charged. Our original tab and then our tab with a $30 tip. We talked to the manager over the phone and he did not apologize or explain why the server gave himself a 30% tip. We are sad because we loved coming here but if we do we will only be using cash read more

I'm doing a mediterranean diet this week so this shrimp salad with chips, salsa and a margarita were delicious and very close to perfect for my diet. I had a little leftover because the salad was so deep. Service was fast and excellent. The light above my table was out but it didn't affect my appetite. Will be back for more. Very affordable for one! Love the wait staff!! read more

Went for dinner. Food was terrible and service was even worse. Not a good meal at all.

This restaurant is very quaint and located in a strip mall so parking is abundant. You get salsa and chips when you sit down and the salsa is remarkable. I had ordered the combo plate with a chili relleno, taco and enchilada. The flavors were wonderful and savory. Wish I could have said it for the taco and chili relleno. The waitress asked if I wanted beef and I said yes. But not knowing it was just ground beef. Then the shell was just a hard (Taco Bell) type of a shell. I have had many chili rellenos and this was terrible. It was hard and you couldn't taste the chili only cheese. The enchilada and rice and beans saved the plate. We were the last customers of their evening.. Which means they were mopping the floor right next to us.. Maybe wait a few more minutes until we left the restaurant. I will give another chance and we will see our outcome. read more

Our first time to this little spot on Parker. We went around 5:45pm a little before the dinner rush. We found a booth by the bar. The server (forgot his name) greeted us right away. Order strawberry margaritas to start the huge ones. Very tasty. All the food was delicious. The green Chile fries were honestly the best ones I have ever had. We found our new favorite Mexican food spot for sure. The server was super friendly and before dinner rush is perfect. It's so quiet. For 2 apps, 2 margaritas( the biggest ones) 2 entrees with food to take home after was about $80. Not including tip. My ultimate fajitas were about $21 for comparison. Highly recommend read more

Old Santa Fe Mexican Grill - Mexican Hamburger & Ultimate Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - Parker, Colorado

My favorite Mexican restaurant in Parker! My husband and I eat here multiple times a month. It's not fancy decor wise but the food and service are great. I always get the fajita chicken tacos, I don't know what they season the chicken with but it's incredibly addicting! Seriously, just go. read more

We have been coming here for years. Staff is friendly and offer good service. Food has declined in the last few visits and the rest rooms are not cared for... which is an issue if it's a reflection of the kitchen cleanliness. The place needs a good stem to stern cleaning overall. read more

Stopped for Father's Day dinner. The pico is flavorful and not too spicy. Had a margarita and pollo Tampico. Both were great. The chicken was moist and cooked perfectly. Our family will be back. read more

This was a surprising delight when I found myself hungry and in its vicinity! The shredded chicken taco was really, really good! I rarely even eat meat, and I'm so glad I chose to tonight. The sauce the chicken is stewed in is so flavorful and well seasoned! I wish I'd only ordered the chicken, it was so good! The beef and bean burrito was nice, the cheese enchilada was good. Usually, I barely touch the rice and beans at restaurants because they're often too bland for me, but I ate up all the beans here! It was very quiet inside, which is exactly what I needed - so if you're looking for a cozy ambiance with tasty, comforting Mexican food, this is it! read more

This place is a quiet little gem. The food is great, my favorite dish is the rellenos de pollo and my husband gets the tacos dorados. The service is quick and because it's off the main restaurant strip, there's never a wait. read more

I've always been pleased by this restaurant. Their food is usually pretty good, a solid 4+ on average, but they managed to miss pretty badly today. Things that are great: Carne Asada, Carnitas, tamales, burritos Things that are really bad: Taquitos plate - Supposedly 4 of each, but really it was 2 of each cut in half. Unfortunately they were also overcooked and dried out. I'll probably try them again, but right now they are in Mexican food limbo, especially with Los Dos Portrillos right up the street. read more

Old Santa Fe Mexican Grill - Taquito plate - Mexican Near Me - Parker, Colorado

Good was great. However, the wait was awful. It took 90 minutes for lunch. Our waiter was good, but the restaurant was understaffed. One guy to host, serve, and help in the kitchen. I want to try again, but I don't have the time to wait to see if it's better. read more

This place only survives because it's the only Mexican restaurant within 5 miles for those of us in South Parker. The food is mediocre at best. They always act like they really don't want you there.. My husband and I will meet here after work occasionally. Usually after 8:30 pm. They act as though you are putting them out when you walk in the door, reminding you that the kitchen closing soon, even though the sign on the door says open til 10:00. Now that Fuzzy Tacos is near by, Im sure this place won't be around much longer. read more

Old Santa Fe Mexican Grill - 7:45 on a Saturday night. A balmy 55 degrees in November..the place should be hoping.. empty bar, half empty restaurant. - Mexican Near Me - Parker, Colorado

You guys who are rating my reviews up there, appreciated, but no need. I'm just doing my thing, and if it helps you, all the better. So look, I probably shouldn't share this part, but I go to this place early, on weekends, when I need to soak in some fatty foods from the night before. So, this waiter, early in the morning says after I order my bowl of menudo, with a side of rice and beans "okay, but if you really want to eat like a Mexican, you need a shot of tequila." This is before 8 o'clock, which isn't even legal in Colorado. I told him I didn't need this so early in the morning, and he didn't push. But I did appreciate the offer. Now you decide; is this the best morning service imaginable? read more

Amazing service and amazing food. My go to for breakfast and dinner. I have been going there for years

Attentive service, clean place. The decor and TVs are from the 80s. The chips were hot and the salsa was fresh and delicious! The margaritas were great. Will be back to try more of the food. read more

Old Santa Fe Mexican Grill - Hot chips and fresh salsa! - Mexican Near Me - Parker, Colorado

The food was delicious! We have been hear many times and the service and food are super yummy.

Worst Mexican food I have ever eaten. I took a few bites and threw it away it was so bad. I would rather eat at Taco Bell.

I have been here several times with my family. We all are huge Mexican food fans and can be slightly particular about it. My parents live south of Parker and have been to other Mexican restaurants in the area that they didn't like, but all three of us, along with my aunt and uncle, really like Old Santa Fe. The staff are always friendly, and their salsa as well as their refried beans are especially tasty. They'll occasionally get an order slightly wrong. For example, last time we went, my enchilada and burrito had green chile instead of red. But I ended up liking the green chile, so all was well. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality and portions, and we've never had to wait for a table. read more

How is it cold, every time?! Ordered this last time online, was told 10-20mins until ready, walked in 15mins later, and was told it wasn't ready yet. No big deal, just waited on the bench. Food came out 15mins later completely cold to the touch, zero heat or sreeam from 3 entrees?.. How long did it sit around before someone found it and brought it out? Completely unacceptable considering the place had ~10 dine in guests and at least 3 people bringing orders out. For nearly 2 years I have given this place the benefit of the doubt; assuming COVID shutdowns, conversion to take out, staffing hardships.. Nope, as nornalcy resumes and they aren't busy, they just aren't good. read more

Dinner was excellent! The fish tacos were perfectly spiced and the chips and salsa were devoured by all. The service was top notch and don't forget to have the yummy sopapillas read more

We were in the area shopping and needed lunch. My 13 year old son asked me to leave this review. He loved his tacos. The enchiladas were very good too. Next time we're in Parker we will plan on lunch here. read more
