Another out of this world meal at Rancho Lewis. The grouper fish tacos were absolute perfection,…read morefeaturing flaky fish with a light crisp texture and bright, balanced flavors that let the quality of the grouper shine. Every element worked together beautifully without overpowering the dish. The guacamole was exactly what great guacamole should be, creamy with just the right amount of texture, perfectly ripe avocados, fresh lime, and balanced seasoning that made it hard to stop eating. The Spanish rice, tomatillo sauce, and pinto beans were all equally delicious and clearly made with care and attention to flavor. We sat at the bar and really enjoyed chatting with our friendly and enthusiastic bartender, which made the experience even more memorable. Service, atmosphere, and food were all outstanding. Paying with Blackbird was an added bonus and made the evening even better. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

While the queso and the meat were good (not much of it though), everything else left a lot to be desired. The sauces were not good and kind of ruined the food for me. I'm surprised by how unimpressed we were. It's certainly not awful but wasn't worth $70 for two dinners (no alcohol). I don't recommend it and don't think we'll be back, unfortunately.

We tried the quesabirria tacos and a Mexican bowl with grilled chicken. The tacos were pretty good--though we've had slightly better consommé--but the bowl was delicious, with flavorful rice, beans, pico, veggies, cheese, and plenty of salsas to mix in. A solid spot for a quick Mexican bite. We ate outside, and the service was fast and friendly. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

Flavor was decent -- nothing mind-blowing, but solid and filling. The rice and beans were what you'd expect, and the fries on the side were crispy and fresh.

Overall, it's a reliable spot if you're craving Mexican food but customer service could have been better on a Sunday afternoon as it was a lot of people.

The only thing I didn't care for was the chips, they're homemade but just lacked a good taste and flavor for me. I bought my sister here while visiting and she raved about it as well!

This is the first time visiting the Santa Fe Cafe Bluffton location which I believe recently…read moreopened. It's in the location previously occupied by Mamma G's which closed over a year ago. The bar area remains the same, but the decor changed to a Southwestern vibe to match their cuisine. There were 4 of us dining and we were seated at a booth soon after checking in. It's best to get reservations otherwise you may end up at the bar or at a high top. As opposed to the HHI location, this one does not have a rooftop area for dining. Halah was our server and did an excellent job taking care of us. She was very courteous and knowledgeable of the menu. We started with chips, queso and salsa when we were seated. The queso was delicous with a slight hint of heat. I ordered the oysters on the appetizer list. The presentation was great. Served with a modified tartar sauce as well as a southwestern cocktail sauce. The oysters were too breaded, though. I think it was mostly breading and a small amount of oysters which were hardly noticeable. I don't recommend unless you like heavily breaded and fried oysters. For the main meal, i ordered the Portabello Burrito which was drizzled with a sweet and spicy salsa. It looked like a miniature football when it arrived. It was too much for one sitting, though and I took half home with me. Halah advised that it would be a bit spicy which it was. Besides portabello mushrooms chopped inside, there was also Spanish rice and melted cheese. Very tasty. For dessert, my wife and I split the Kahlua Mouse ($10.00). It was very good, but we probably shouldn't have had it. On the reservation, I mentioned it was a special day since 3 of us were celebrating birthdays and one was a milestone. Yet no one from the staff acknowledged during our visit. They did acknowledge via a reservation reminder message sent directly to me. Those little subtle personal touches----plus fried oysters which actually have oysters inside would have earned an extra star. Maybe next time.
