Having a chef brother means trusting his recommendations, especially when it comes to finding a great burger. He suggested Santa Fe Bite, and it definitely lived up to the hype. If you're looking for an authentic New Mexico burger, this is the place to go. The green chile was flavorful with just the right amount of heat, and the green chile burger was cooked perfectly. You can tell they use quality, premium beef, and the generous portions leave you full and satisfied. The service was fast, friendly, and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Whether you're a local or just passing through Santa Fe, Santa Fe Bite is well worth the stop. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Ate here for the first time while visiting Santa Fe. My husband had the Green Chile cheeseburger and chips. I had the shrimp tacos and we shared a side of sweet potato fries. The food was all excellent! We both enjoyed our food and the portions were generous! Great selection of drinks as well! Service was excellent and the server we had was very helpful! The restaurant was easy to find, fun diner vibe and family friendly! We will be back! read more

Fast and friendly service. I had the grilled ham and cheese sandwich (add red onion, green chile, and tomato) and chips. Delicious and would order again. They also have great crushed ice for their drinks. read more

My day was made when I ate their burger today. Holy cow. I ordered it to go and I was NOT disappointed. Green chili cheeseburger cooked perfectly. For their to-go orders, they had everything disassembled so nothing got soggy. Plenty of condiments. Sweet potato French fries were fire. I ate this whole thing in complete bliss. I might be biased because I was sick prior to this, and only eating soup and yogurt for days,,, but man, this was EPIC. I will definitely be back. read more

I had another great lunch at Santa Fe Bite. I always order the 10 oz burger, and my girlfriend who came with me ordered the patty melt. They were both delicious! They use premium beef and it's always cooked to perfection and delicious. They serve it on a brioche bun which is delicious. I also got the homemade chips. Yummy! The service was phenomenal. Our server was Ashley, and she was very attentive. We never had to ask for refills on our drinks or anything like that. The ambiance is trendy and it's a good location because it's in a strip mall so there's plenty of parking. It's not right in the plaza like most restaurants in Santa Fe, which can be challenging with the parking situation. If you haven't tried Santa Fe Bite yet, you need to go. You will not be disappointed. read more

I really like Santa Fe Bite but this time I was very disappointed. Always loved their hamburgers but this time I was surprised. I always order a med rare and it's always perfect. This time I got a well done burger that I had to send back. Being with a group of friends who all got their meal, I didn't want to take a chance and perhaps get the same order. So I left with a chicken sandwich. Took it home only to find the chicken was dry. Think I will wait a while before I return. read more

The food is good, but they seemed to always make mistakes when you do a takeout. Tonight they gave us the wrong order 20 minutes later when my husband got back, they called and said you've got the wrong order. He had to go all the way back, and of course, by the time he came back to our house, everything was cold burger, french fries, etc. they just have trouble getting it together too bad because their burgers are good. I won't be back again. read more

This spot was recommended by a friend. We were seated quickly. The food camp out hot and perfectly cooked to order, the homemade chips were a pleasant surprise. If you are wanting a good juicy burger this is your place. Very casual environment read more

Santa Fe Bite - 10 oz green chili cheese burger with homemade chips and onion rings. - American Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

We just discovered this gem. LOVE the Chopped Veggie salad (we add chicken). We keep coming back for that. The staff has never failed to be welcoming and helpful. :) The fish & chips special looks amazing & not greasy -- but I had my tastebuds set on a burger today, so another time! I took off a star because I think, for its location, it's expensive (example...burgers: $12.50 for 6oz to $27 for 15oz) BUT I will say it's ALL TASTY! And worth the occasional splurge. They seem to have a loyal local following, which says a LOT for consistency. ;) read more

STILL the famous Bobcat Bite Burger I've been eating the amazing Bobcat Bite Green Chile Cheeseburgers for 31 years; the location from the older (and quite eclectic) location off the highway didn't change these great burgers. I dined last night with 12 from the Santa Fe Foodies, as I have for decades. I ordered the amazing GCC (Green Chile Cheeseburger) med rare, and it was as good as it was three decades ago. I think 10 people at our party ordered this, and everyone seemed to agree it's a classic. My wife had a Patty Melt, which was outstanding! The service by Ashley was fantastic; a plus was that we got our drinks ordered by the previous owner, Bonnie. It was so lovely to see her smiling face; it brought back many memories. All the food came out at once and was perfect. Unlike the old days, Santa Fe Bite serves some yummy desserts, too (in the old days, lollipops were the only offering; they wanted you out so they could serve more burgers in what was a tiny restaurant). Today, in the new location, it's huge compared to an outside setting in nice weather. Carrot Cake and Lemon Curd cake are very good. There is a reason Bobcat Bite is featured in the famous "Hamburger Nation" film and Food Networks #1 best Ever GCCB, don't let the newer name confuse you: this IS the Bobcat Bite. read more

These types of restaurants are far and few between. The ambience and lighting were welcoming. Staff were extremely friendly and the owner of this restaurant went around the customers tables to check in on them. The food: the meat was extremely fresh tasting. We had the posole and it was very flavorful. Fries and chips were very tasty. On to the dessert- homemade and amazing. So so good!! The banana cream pie was to die for. Will be coming back!! read more

Santa Fe Bite - Carrot cake and banana cream pie - American Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

I drove by it as it's one of the first places in the strip mall, then walked by it, and only after I saw a hand full of people (locals) coming out did I even know it was a restaurant. Inside is nicely decorated and clean. It was busy and yet I was promptly greeted and being alone I sat at the bar. (No screaming kids, which is always nice) The wait staff was great. It was about 1 pm so late lunch hour, and everyone was great. If they weren't waiting on someone they were busy tidying up. The 10 ounce chile cheeseburger is huge, and the homemade bun was wonderful. Best one (out of 5) I've had around here yet. I'll come back for sure. read more

Simple, really good food. The burgers are the best in town; big and juicy! The Chicken sandwich is terrific, especially when loaded with green chile. Don't expect fancy, but you'll get your money's worth and you won't go hungry after eating here, the staff is pleasant and helpful, especially Diane. The place is where you can go when you're really hungry but you just want to go in your jeans and enjoy a burger without all the pretense of so many of the local restaurants. The restrooms are clean and have chalkboards where you can leave your thoughts...good or bad. Mine were good! read more

Santa Fe Bite - As you can see, I couldn't wait to take a big bite out my burger! - American Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

If I could give a zero I would. We accidentally walked in the wrong door and were greeted with disdain and rudeness. The rude woman that greeted us informed us that "most people don't read anymore" that's why we did not see the sign that was behind the wide open door to the restaurant. Thank God we did not attempt to try the food!!! Please don't accept rudeness, no matter how good the food is. read more

They have really good juicy sloppy burgers. We've had the green chili cheese burger and the patty melt. Yum!! They also have great fish and chips, sandwiches, homemade french fries, and a great wedge salad. They have great homemade soups too. They have great made in house desserts baked fresh daily. My favorite is the banana crème pie. So good. The only thing I don't recommend is the onion rings which they don't make fresh. Everything else is hands down amazing. read more

A busy place on a Saturday still made room to greet me cordially, ask about seating preference, and get a libation going quickly after arrival. Lots of local regulars at lunch, breakfast served until 8 pm, and a mixed New Mexican/Anglo comfort food menu plus wine and beer means what's not to like? read more

Best green chili & Bacon Burger with Homemade Chipotle Sauce! Cant beat it anywhere!!!

This was the rare (and I mean exceedingly rare) restaurant that we actually visited twice while we were in Santa Fe. The reason: their green chile cheeseburger is pretty much as good as everyone says it is. Definitely in a death match with about two other places for the title. We also had a number of their other entrees (pork chop, BLT, steak sandwich, etc.) at this casual, pleasant restaurant. Everything else was pretty good as well, if not special. Their cakes/pies- not our thing. And missed out on their shakes which we heard a lot about. Oh well, next time. read more

Food was just okay, like diner or luncheonette stuff. Most of it was hot but a couple of our dishes were not. The big problem here is the staff. They are rude and confrontational. Forget in a half full dining room that our server walked past us several times without ever acknowledging we were there let alone taking our order or that when she finally did come over 20 minutes later, she couldn't be bothered to look at anyone while we asked for what we wanted. (I guess our being there was an inconvenience to her). But there is a sign at the front counter that says there is a surcharge for not paying cash. Fine. What is it? Not one person could tell us. One person said it's on the menu but she couldn't find it after several minutes of looking and she was supposedly the one who wrote the menu. Everyone was bordering on obnoxious that we didn't just accept this seemingly arbitrary fee and like it. So there's this unknowable extra fee for using a card. Turns out on the bill it was 20% Never. Again. Santa Fe Bite can go right ahead and bite me. They've gotten all the $$$ they'll get out of me. read more

The food was great. I had a burger and it was really juicy and tasty. the ambiance is just fine.

All went well! Taste fantastic cooked to perfection the burger came with all the ingredients and the house chips are superb! Had to have a piece of pie for desert (was kind of a millionaire cake) made in house! What a treat! Ate the whole thing in my car, made it even more special! read more

I really like this restaurant. We've eaten in the restaurant and taken takeout. It's always good. I had fish and chips on Friday and it was very good. The burgers are great although rather expensive but worth it. read more

Friends said this was the best green chili cheeseburger in town. It was good. But missing that "wow" factor for me. Onion rings were exceptional. Fried sweet potatoes delicious. The chips that accompany every burger are among the best house made chips around. Substantial bun holds up to the meat. Note: There are two options a 10 ounce burger and a 6 ounce burger. That is not clear on the menu -- be sure to ask if you prefer a smaller but still significant meat portion. read more

Santa Fe Bite - Green chili burger - American Near Me - Santa Fe, New Mexico

Several online resources pointed to this place and noted their fantastic chili cheeseburger - so that's what brought me in. And to their credit they made me an awesome burger with a fresh bakery bun, large 10 oz patty and all the fixins. It tasted great but my one critique is the green chili's kinda got buried in all the other flavors going on there. I hardly tasted them. Still it was a great meal and sanely priced. Super nice staff and fun atmosphere. I'm not sure their burger rises to the destination status that many ascribe to it but it's pretty damn good and they have a full menu of other goodies too including homemade desserts. Glad I popped in read more

Had a good Green Chile Cheeseburger and a Veggie Burger here. My only complaint is that I felt that the taste of the green chile could have been stronger. The Veggie Burger, made from beets, was surprisingly delicious, and even though I am not a fan of beets, I really didn't detect a strong taste. The service was quick, and the ambiance had a coffee shop vibe. read more

We went for brunch and the service was super prompt + the waitress was very kind. The chilaquiles were actually the best I've had since they were fried to perfection. I got them Christmas and the green chile was particularly awesome. I'll definitely come back again when I'm in town. read more

We were looking for someplace locals would go to, and heard great things about Santa Fe Bite. We had a great meal. My mom and I split the chicken club and cheesy fries - plenty for both of us and delicious. The avocado was so flavorful, with the little kick of pepper jack cheese and a super fresh and juicy chicken breast, yum! My dad wanted chili , but he confessed that the cornbread was the shining star. My uncle got the chicken enchiladas, and he was happy with his choice too! The staff was observant without being intrusive, and we can see why it has such good reviews! read more

On vacation in town and was looking for an easy kid friendly meal from a local place. Loved the chicken tacos with rice & beans. Rice was a bit plain but with their salsa it was . My kiddos burgers were scarfed down fast because they were delicious! Wait staff was great! Friendly & and fast. Highly recommend! read more

I travel to Santa Fe frequently and come here each time. The people are wonderful, their food is great but their desserts are over the top!!

Fast service. Went for the veggie burger and it didn't disappoint! So good! Recommend!

It's an amazing place. Lots of care has been put into the aesthetics. All the food is great EXCEPT for the steak. It is the most expensive thing on the menu, but its a five dollar steak at a 30 dollar price. Horrible cut of meat, thin and tough... almost too tough to eat. But everything else is perfect and I'll be going back over and over, but I will not order the steak until they actually get a decent thicker cut and quality meat. I know it is very difficult to run a restaurant. Your overhead is ridiculous and you have to cut as many corners as possible. My family owns a couple of restaurants in Dublin, Ireland - and cutting quality to make ends meet is a great temptation. But reputation and word of mouth is far more important. Every employee must bring their "A" game and at least pretend to love the customer. Take the time to do the extra research and get the best quality foods that you can - especially with high-dollar items like steak. Follow the reviews carefully and respond to each one and take notes, have meetings with staff regularly to discuss improvements. Doing these things and acting on them will move you from a restaurant with a decent or good reputation for this or that - into LEGEND status - if you are patient and determined! read more

Hadn't been to Santa Fe Bite in a while so decided to stop there for a green chili cheeseburger the other night. They truly do serve up one of the best green chili cheeseburgers I've ever eaten, and our burgers on this visit did not disappoint. My dining partner ordered the smaller burger with cheese. While she enjoyed the burger, after she took a few bites she realized there was no cheese. She also ordered sweet potato fries which came out barely warm, limp, and had a bit of a burnt taste to them. While we both enjoyed our burgers, sometimes the little details can make an enjoyable dining experience just "okay". When it came time to pay, I noticed that, like other restaurants in the Santa Fe area, Santa Fe Bite has added on an up-charge for credit card payments. In a world where plastic is becoming the norm as a method of payment, this might seem like a good idea for the restaurant owner, but is a short-sighted scheme in my opinion. I've talked to servers in restaurants that add on this cost, and servers typically feel that customers counter the added cost by skimping on tips. I don't eat out as often as I used to because dining costs have escalated so much in recent years, and in light of that, I've opted to avoid dining at establishments that penalize me for card payments. read more

Sorry to see this place close & move as it did have a great green chili cheeseburger. Yes, the green chili cheeseburger was indeed yummy here, however, it wasn't the best I have ever had. I recently had a grass fed beef green chili cheeseburger at the new Mill street Tavern in Ardmore, OK that blew the roof off this burger. I heard that the Santa Fe bite burger was #1 in NM & 5th in the USA, however that is not the case anymore. Looking forward to the new Santa Fe Bite location's however, my new fave green chili cheeseburger is a grass fed beef green chili cheeseburger from Mill Street Tavern, in Ardmore OK. Cheers! read more
